Barn Name: Blitz
Best Friend: Mirin - Mirin is in Blitz's pasture group. These two mares sometimes butt heads when it comes down to being chosen as a leader, but they get along well when they are just grazing or spending time in the stall.

Enemies or Rivals?: As hardheaded as Blitz is, she gets along well with the other horses. Besides her occasional complications with Mirin, Blitz takes care of the other horses that do not try to steal her place in the front of the herd! As feisty as she can get during a good run with the heard, she makes sure the members of her group are okay and get enough grazing and play time!

Lone Wolf or Herd Loyalty?: It was a bright and early sunny weekday at the stables. Most of the horses were still tucked snuggly into their stalls due to it still being quiet and the surroundings were uneventful. As the stable worker came out and started preparing everybody's food, neighing and clanging were heard all throughout the big stable room. With everybody anxious to eat and come out for the day, there was one horse in particular that could not keep still in her stall; she wanted out and she wanted out now! Blitz is a stubborn mare, and when she wants something she expects to get it. Not only does she feel the need to get out first, she always wants to be the first to get her breakfast as well. You see, Blitz lives up to the saying "the early bird gets the worm". This stubborn female will kick her stable door and bob her head up and down until she is let out or given her food. She gets her food, and that keeps her content for a while. As everybody starts to finish up, it is time to be let out in the pasture for the day to stretch and graze. Anxiously and excitedly, Blitz is causing a ruckus in her stall. But, unfortunately for Blitz, her stall mate is lead roped and led out of the stables to wait outside for her group. Blitz lowers her ears and kicks her stall door angrily and neighs. The handler approaches Blitz's stall and hooks up her halter and lead rope, and the door is opened. Blitz already upset she did not get out first, shoots out of the stall and makes sure she is in front of the other horse. The rest of the group is let out and led to the pasture! Blitz is leading the group and of course has to be the first to run into the pasture. In other words, Blitz might not be the most patient horse out there, but she loves to be in the front. She would definitely not be happy being the caboose of the train!

show name: Threatened Myth That Lives
barn name: Maniae

Greek Mythology: the goddess of insanity and madness
best friend:

due to all her traveling expenses, Maniae has never settled down in an area long enough to make real friends, although her mothers best friend was Moirae. while growing up, she was the truly the only other raj she would see on a daily basis, and so she considered her an acquaintance. yearly, Mania will come back to her old her only to visit her mothers friend. due to their both devious and secretive personalities, they get along unbelievably well. a physical outing of lying in the meadow or swimming in the river is considered a typical and perfect conversation.
enemies or rivals?:
ever since she was a filly, Mania has always been considered one of the prettiest females of her herd, and especially since she has matured, the stallions seek her out. out of their disrespect for her, she left the herd. she could not stand their arrogant and assertive actions no more, but over her travels have figured out a way to play their game and win. although some stallions are clueless and some are genius, she tricks majority and creates ways of getting whatever she wants, creating a form of allies, but when they realize what shes doing.. unfortunately, it creates many enemies as well. point blank, she drives them all mad.
lone wolf or herd loyalty?:
lone wolf. many of the mares in her family, since her greatgreatgreat.. grandfather was the first led stallion in the herd and so the tradition sands for everyone, the mares do everything for their mates. they would not allow her to continue her tricks, and so she indefinitely left her herd. over the lands, she has created some acquaintances, but never allow herself to stick to a herd ever again.

Barn Name: Idunn

Best Friend:

Idunn has many friends but one that she is seen sharing he most memories with is a young doe she calls Adula. Adula and Idunn have known one another for most of their life, meeting as fawn and filly, and have shared many adventures together as young ones. Though from two different worlds, Idunn and Adula both have shared in mischevious and simply innocent mishaps that only two pure souls can experience.

Idunn and Adula, even as adults, still continue their relationship: soft, nuzzling embraces and grazing side by side in the open fields. From time to time, you can see the two running together through the trees, the graceful doe bounding with large leaps followed by the thundering hooves of the stout mare as they weave in and out of the tall Fir and Aspen.

You can be sure, that until the day they part from this earth, Idunna and Adula will continue to be the best of friends but their memory will live on in their offspring of whom I believe will continue the tradition of being playmates.

Enemies or Rivals?:

Though Idunn would like to believe she is kind to all and treat everyone as an equal, there are some who wish for her downfall. Sadly, these poor tormented souls are simply pittied and loved further by Idunn, causing more anger. She cannot say whom despises her yet she does have a simple rivalry with the lead mare of her herd, Andraste. It is not a bitter rivalry but a rivalry of kindred spirits, playful and harmless.

Idunn finds the mare simply beautiful and strong, with an elegant manner of handling tough situations or rambunctious stallions. Andraste finds favor and similarities in the young Idunn and simply wishes for her to succeed, so the rivalry began. Andraste would challenge Idunn to playful romping to strengthen Idunn’s skills as a fighter and to strengthen her own and Idunn would happily accept any chance to learn from the beautiful Andraste. They would often compete with one another with simple tasks: running, romping, dealing with little ones, but the number one thing they compete the most over is who can get the filthiest by rolling in the dirt, grass, or whatever else they can find and come out looking the silliest.

In all, Idunn is simply loved by most and her only rival is a playful one with the lead mare.

Lone Wolf or Herd Loyalty?:

Idunn has never fancied herself for a loner, taking too much pleasure in the company of her herd. Though it is not a large one, she still finds comfort in their depths, always knowing their warmth and pure kindness. The thought of being alone simply pains her, not having the constant love and compassion shared by many of her herd members.

Idunn also finds comfort in being with the young ones, their innocent love knowing no pain or fault. Their warm, tiny bodies a welcome pleasure at night when the chill of evening takes over. Though not all in the herd share her similar thinking, she still loves and cares for all that cross her path, often attempting to take loners in to show them that there is a such thing as family in the hardest of times.
