CWHR: Looks To Kill 'Scandalous' - The First Days
based on this drawing by Timey
The First Days
June 23rd, 2014 We pulled up to the Pick Up Point and backed the trailer up to the chute at about 9 this morning after the night long drive we'd already endured. Getting back from a camping trip and then immediately driving to a different state to pick up a horse is rather tiring, and if I heard 'Scandalous' by Mis Teeq one more time I was going to scream. Citali was probably the most awake out of all of us as she hopped out of the truck and went darting across the lot over to the corral, trying to catch the attention of the mustangs that remained in the corral. Barely any horses were in the corral now. We'd been a day late. Obviously it'd been an early day yesterday. I went over with Citali to the fence while she barked to try and encourage the horses to come over and play, but they didn't move a muscle. However she was unphased, and continued to watch them with her tail wagging a mile a minute. However, after a moment she stopped and growled. Just when that happened a mare came darting into the sunlight out of one of the corral's shelters. She went tearing around the corral, causing some of the other horses to shy away. It was obvious that in her short time here this mare had gone and established herself as the matriarch, a position that she rightfully held. The other horses made no move to challenge her. If I hadn't seen the patches of blue roan under the dirt I would have sworn she was a buckskin of some kind. A very dirty buckskin. She looked like she had splashed in a water trough then rolled in the dirt, which is probably exactly what she had done. What markings she had under the dust were distorted beyond recognition. Even her long mane, which would probably look lovely when clean and brushed out, was filthy. I wanted desperately to scrub her down and restore her to her full glory, but I also didn't want to get kicked or bit. Luckily. It turns out she was our mare. Unluckily, Emma and Angela insisted on naming her after the song they'd made an effort to try and kill me with on the long drive over. Our filthy little mare was brought into the chute where she was given her first halter. We gave that responsibility to Angela, who easily wrestled the little mare to get it on her head. When that endless task was finally over they opened the chute and she went darting into the trailer as fast as physically possible. Scandalous immediately realized her mistake, but the door shut behind her. Now begins the long drive home. More to follow. - Peter Harvey June 24th, 2014 Sunscreen wasn't going to be an issue for a while. The round pen we had on the ranch grounds was an indoor one, not to mention shaded by a thick canopy of pine trees. Scandal was being spoiled rotten already and she hadn't let us lay a hand on her yet. We'd gotten back to the ranch early this morning when it was still dark out. The trailer was backed up to the gate of the round pen, and the beast was released into her enclosure. Emma said she was going to spray the dust off of her later on in the day when the temp was up. She'd get clean and maybe appreciate the relief from the heat. Sounded like a good plan, so I went straight to sleep. I was awoken later by the sound of two horses communicating across the ranch like two best friends across the classroom from each other. Who needs a rooster when almost every horse at Manteca Creek is among the noisiest ones that ever lived? I walked out of my cabin in the Boarder's area and made the long trek across the ranch, down the path next to the pastures and into the shaded training area where the round pen, the arena, and Emma's cabin sat, the trickling of the creek that gave this ranch it's name in the distance. Angela and Emma stood leaning over the fence of the sheltered round pen and watched as Scandal was whinnying towards another horse back in the pastures. I walked over to join them and ask what was going on. "Apparently Scandal and Ginger made friends these last few hours. They've been communicating for a while now. Thinking maybe I should bring Ginger over so the two can meet in person. Maybe having a friend around will ease her into the new surroundings." Emma replied. "That might be a good idea. It's worth a shot." Angela agreed. Emma smiled and walked off to retrieve her flaxen mare. "Ginger's not gonna allow Scandal to try and dominate her either. She's nice but she's got a fiery her temper. If anything Ginger will balance her out too." I had stated. Emma walked up later with Ginger following her with nothing but pure trust. Emma had this mare trained well. Ginger saw her new friend in the pen and immediately trotted over to it to greet her. Scandalous looked ecstatic. The two sniffed each other for a while, and we all held our breath to see how they'd get along. After the standard greeting the two seemed to hit it off pretty well. Scandalous even started to try grooming Ginger over the fence. "Perhaps I should let Ginger in?" Emma inquired. Angela and I agreed. Emma went over and opened up the gate and Ginger immediately took the chance to run in and see Scandal without a barrier between them. The two still continued to cooperate and even chased each other around a bit. Suddenly Emma came up with the hose and stuck it between the wooden slats into the round pen, and sprayed Ginger. Ginger loved it, and ran under the stream and shook the water off in all directions like a dog. Scandal just got even more excited, and slowly came over to investigate the strange object. She drank some of the water out of the hose. Emma sprayed her, and she jumped away a bit. The stream was enough to clear away a lot of the dirt, however it ticked off Scandal in the process. But evidently not too badly cause she came right back for more. Emma sprayed her again and the reaction was more positive this time. The dust came running off of her and soon enough we had a full unobscured view of our mare. And she's quite a stunner. - Peter Harvey |

A Year Later
July 2nd, 2015 It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off of all of our shoulders that day. Finally, finally the project was complete. I couldn't help but gaze upon the new ranch with an expression of shear pride. The sun setting over the treeline, and our first set of guests wandering around the grounds. Horses mixed and mingled in the pastures on either side of me as I stood in the road, and the strange melody of cow bells sounded in the distance. It was zen. I hadn't been here to see Manteca Creek in it's hey day, but boy was I glad to be a part of it's resurrection. Manteca Creek Stables: Boarding, Dude Ranch, and Thoroughbred Farm. Three times more versatile than we already were. I was now assigned to the western area of the entire ranch. Manteca Creek's dude ranch status had been achieved once again with the purchase of some land lost to another stable almost two decades back. Everything had been put on hold for the renovations. Everything. The structures were built, the riding trails were blazed, and the horses were rearranged and moved into their new homes. Finally after a year long process, it was finished, and we could continue on schedule once more. And I knew just where to start. I walked over to the fence of the mare's pasture and whistled. A dark shape, made darker by the sunrise lifted it's head to see me. The mare's ears perked, and with a whinny to greet me, trotted over to the fence to see me. Scandal had taken the move surprisingly well. We weren't able to pay as much attention to her during that time, and ultimately her gentling had to be put on hold to get the process over with. However even though she wasn't about to let us ride her, we had all become very good friends. She'd become adjusted to a stall. She let us put sunscreen on her pink spots. Even better, she was okay with a halter and a lead, though enjoyed a good game of breaking lose and causing havoc every once in a while. Some habits never die I suppose. I slowly reached a hand out to stroke the side of her head, scratching behind her left ear. She nickered and shut her eyes, pushing her head into my chest. I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Couldn't bare to let one of us on her back for three seconds but loved being stroked. A marriage of contradictions. "You ready to finish what we started girl?" I questioned, knowing I'd never receive a direct answer. Her ears perked up once more and she looked at me. Those intelligent brown eyes of her's said everything that needed saying. 'Bring it on.' |

RVEC #230 - Palomino Mustang
based on this drawing by SydneyandStorm
So apparently I like drawing palominos when it's storming
Note: If you choose to enter him in the Mustang Million, he may only be entered in classes for two-year-olds and younger and may only be shown by a handler aged 17 or younger ^^ Friendly reminder that if you already have several Mustangs and/or aren't planning to enter more in the Mustang Million, please take into consideration the fact that there are users who have been trying to get a Mustang to enter for a good while now and are unable to because of timezones and busy schedules. c: So if you look at your horses and think "Man, I sure won a lot of Mustangs in these auctions!"... maybe it's best to not drop in at the last second just to add another one to your collection ^^ Also, as a new rule, you may not win more than three Mustangs from auction if you aren't entering them in the Mustang Million <3 Thank you! Something to remember when adopting Mustangs: these Mustangs don't have to be entered in the MM, but all are eligible and I think it'll be a good deal of fun c: Don't worry, it'll be nothing as intensive as the Thoroughbred Makeover -- some sort of art or care post once every week or two should be fine, especially since you can have as many as you'd like! We'll also have several classes to enter your horses in, so you're sure to find something <3 Let the bidding begin! There is no auto on these bids; the highest bidder after 24 hours exactly (last post to the minute) wins the horse! All will start at 150c and the bidding will increase in increments of 150c or greater -- you may bid against yourself as many times as you would like, and if the same bid is posted twice in a row, the first person to post the bid is the official bidder of that amount. Bids may not be edited but may be withdrawn within a reasonable time frame, and if you could keep all bids ending in a 0 or 5, I would love you forever xD All right, let's get the fun going! Please fill out the form below once you've won; to post a bid, all you've got to do is post the number ^^ Missing information will be revealed after the horse has been won. Best of luck!

![]() Sorry everyone, this mismatched babe is mine<3 Her name is Zemir, and unfortunately something happened to her throat and now she cannot breathe fire. This is unhealthy for Scruffs, which is why when she breathes out her mouth or talks a cold smoke billows out. It doesn't hurt her, but it does lower her body temperature, hence the weird scale colors. She has a tattoo (on the wrong side of her foot, whups) of an "x", but she won't tell anyone the meaning behind it. Her earrings are "x"s too, but what is with the "x" infatuation? She'll tell one day. |

Her mother had showed it to her and now she keeps this pattern dear and close to her heart. |

Twelfth Name|| Hantai iken Japanese word for 'Dissent' or 'Con' Gender|| Transmale He / Him pronouns Personality|| How he portays himself upon first meeting someone new or important is as one of the most charming and humble Rukami's you could meet. He's mastered the artform of being debonair. However underneath that sickly sweet Flower Prince masquerade is who he really is. Hantai Iken is truly the epitome of an uncaring individual. He'd steal prey away from a kit if it'd benefit him in the long run. There's truly no reason for it which is the icing on the cake. He also has a raging superiority complex. It came to be more as he grew up. Hantai Iken killed a stag during his first hunt, was the fasted runner in his family, can craft things out of such gentle things like flowers, not to mention he considers himself one of the most eligible bachelors. As soon as he realized how good he truly was there was nothing left to stop him from owning it. Art |
