I give credit to Essence- for the set up of the RP. I have modified a few things to fit my need though.
Welcome! This is my Wild Horse RP. However, this isn't just some mares and stallions getting mates and this also isn't one big herd. No, this is for real. In this RP horses will behave like they really do in the wild, but horses will have some human actions to keep things interesting.
Rules
1. All horses start out as a bachelor/lone mare. A bachelor has to court/snake a mare into a herd before he is considered a band stallion.
2. Be realistic. No horse has powers or wings or anything.
3. No god-modding/power-playing.
4. If you cuss, star it out.
5. There are no territories. A band just roams the land freely.
6. No flawless horses.
7. As many horses as you can handle, just try to keep the genders even(sorta). If you do not RP with your horse for a while you will be deleted and your horse will be 'rounded up' or it will 'disappear from the mountain'. However you can request to come back into the RP.
8. Use fades to black if you're mating or giving birth, and no force mating.
9. Don't kill someone's horse unless the other user agrees. And just because I say this don't think you are forbidden to kill a horse, just ask the user first.
10. Mares have to wait one year before they can have their foal. Get my permission before having a premature birth, having two foals, or time skipping. Put 'Purple pillows' in your other section.
11. This is semi-literate; have two good sentences per post, per character with your best grammar and all that jazz.
12. You may have up to two of your own horses in the same herd, unless they are foals that where born into the band.
13. Give the other person a chance when your characters are fighting. Geesh, give a 'gal a chance, really....
14. Please try not to irk other users(this includes me). Screw the 'Purple Pillows' and put 'Zaltana.' instead.
15. Mares don't really have a say in band matters, and can hardly do anything at all when being snaked.
16. There aren't any mates. A band stallion mates with all the mares.
17.There can only be up to six mares in a herd; one lead mare and five subordinate mares.
18. Most importantly have fun!
Horse Facts for RP
Note: These you should know for the RP. If you find some faulty info PM me please.
A harem, or band/herd, consists of one stallion and a few mares. There is only one stallion in a band, and any colts will be kicked out at two years old. The stallion mates with all the mares during the spring, when they're in heat. Next spring, one year later, they will give birth to one foal, rarely twins. A few days after giving birth they will go into heat again and very seldom a mare will be in heat for the first few days of summer.
A lone mare is a mare or female yearling that does not belong to a herd, but in the spring there will be very few of these, because stallions fight over mares constantly. Mares are like prized possessions or trophies to a stallion.
A bachelor is a stallion or male yearling that has not yet started a herd of his own. Bachelors will sometimes join together to steal mares from herds or will walk alone, occasionally harassing band stallions until they manage to get a mare of their own.
A band stallion is the one and only stallion in a herd. He steals mares from other bands and mates with all the mares in the spring. He is also the one responsible for protecting his herd against predators and rival stallions. If a band stallion dies, the mares may either split up or the stallion's eldest son may take over the herd.
A lead mare is a mare that is chosen by the lead stallion to lead the herd to watering holes, and also takes the lead when they migrate to the canyon each year in the fall. She is bred by the band stallion.
A foal is a baby horse of either gender from 0-12 months old.
A yearling is a horse of either gender from the ages 1-3 years. Colts are kicked out at the age of two, and fillies may either leave to find a herd of their own, or stay.
A stallion is a male horse over the age of three years and a mare is a female horse over the age of three years.
Courting is a more gentle way to bring a mare into a herd, or to tell them where to go if a stallion is moving the band to a new location. A stallion will nudge the mare in the direction he wants her to go.
Snaking is a harsh way of getting a mare into a herd, and is how stallions steal mares from other stallions. The stallion will lower his head and flatten his ears, galloping behind the mare, chasing her into his herd. If a mare is being snaked, there is little she can do to resist the stallion before being forced to go where he wants you to.
If a mare is stolen from another herd, she may sneak back to her old harem if the band stallion has his back turned.(Uncommon)
A hand is four inches and this is how we measure horses. i.e. 14hh 14.2hh 14.3hh 15hh 15.2hh 15.3hh 16.hh etc. hh= hands
Territories
Zaltana- Zaltana is simply the name of the land. It's just what horses refer the entire area as.
Dark Mountain- This mountain is where the horses spend spring, summer, and some of fall. It has lush grass, but in some areas it can be steep, so watch out! It also abruptly stops and ends at a cliff at the top and mountain lions have been seen here.
Kila Lake -The lake is located at the base of the mountain, on the opposite side of the mountain as the forest. It's the biggest source of water, bigger then the river, but small ponds, puddles, and streams can be found on the mountain. In the summer, the river and everything dries out, making the lake the only source of water. It's about half its normal size in summer, the lake is large and is an oval shape, it has three islands in it and as said before the main water source of the bands.
Ramu River- There is a small river flowing out of the lands to the west, it gets it's water from the lake out of the lake. It dries up in summer leaving a dangerous trench by Kila Lake.
Lost Canyon- The canyon is where the bands migrate to in the fall. This is where they will spend the winter, because the canyon walls provide shelter from the icy winds and storms. There is a stream snaking through it, but since they only come here in the winter, it is frozen over and the horses have to eat snow to quench their thirst, or break the ice. They dig through the snow to get to grass and roots to eat.
Fulong Forest- The forest is located at the base of the mountain on the opposite side of the mountain as the watering hole. Cougars and even wolves lurk here, so watch out. Horses have to journey through here to reach the canyon on the other side when migrating for the winter. A few small forested parts of land are littered here and there on the mountain.
Howling Cliff- The cliff is the abrupt drop at the top of the mountain. Up here the lush grass vanishes and it's all rocks and dirt and dust. A fall from here will surely kill you.

Sky Fire is a different colored mare. She is a roan, her body is blue but her legs, head, mane and tail are red. She has a little white star on her head and no other white besides that. She has faint striping on her legs and sharp red-brown hooves.
