I believe there is no character picture because different people will have a different horse. For example, my roach is black. Also if you have the "demon saddle" from gaunter, your horse is half horse/half demon from another realm and has the one weird eye like the cat and dog at the estate.

So players could have a black horse, brown horse, or black/half demon, brown/half demon...with four possible combinations I guess they opted to leave the picture blank.

Personally, I would have just used an outline or shadow of a horse's body or head, that would have worked well enough, but meh.

In case you're wondering how to get the black horse. Choose to take Ciri to see the emperor first before going to Velen, then refuse the payment he offers. He will then give you the special horse. You can STILL get what is considered the "good" ending to the main story if you see Emmy first. All you have to do is make sure to have more positive than negative "Ciri choices" AND make sure the complete the quest involving Dijkstra, Thaler, and Vernon Roche. However, at the very end, you have to side with "D" and just walk away instead of getting involved. Given Geralt's desire not to be a part of politics, his disdain for Emmy and the Nilfs, as well as the decisions of who I sided with in Witcher 2...I felt no remorese or attachment in regards to Roche, Ves, and Thaler. I dealt with Radovid and made sure that nonhumans and mages/sorceresses would be okay, and that was where my duty for those I "loved" ended. Also, Vernon Roche is a sellout who deserved to be doublecrossed, and as for Thaler...he's a freaking spy, he should have anticipated this, as many people as he killed even as recently as the guy in White Orchard, once again...no remorse.

I'm too worried about spoilers here, it's a 3 year old game and why would anyone be playing Blood and Wine doing this quest that hasn't finished the main story for the first time yet?!?!?!
