Wish I could join you preppy!

Cougie, I am busy all today and tomorrow but if you are still in need of help, I have a decent amount of free time next week, so let me know

If I wasn't on my phone, I would answer those, so maybe later. Nice questions, gator!

[preppy paws]

which of your tolters are most comfortable with getting in a trailer?
Rusty is the most comfprtable to go into the trailer

pick three horses, how friendly are they to newcomers? (both horses and people)
On a scale 1-10
Azalea - 7
Cody - 6
Cirrus - 9

do any of your tolters have any conformation flaws?
Yes

what's the worst injury one of your horses have had without going into too much detail?
Bolt has a small injury to his eye that make him blind.

what level rider do your horses need?
One who is not too advanced but not too inexpirenced

who's your best jumper?
Jazz

which of your tolters would be most scared to cross an icy lake?
Dexter

how difficult are all your individual tolters to catch when they've been turned out in the pasture?
Depends. Most of them would just walk up to you if you have food or they hear the gate open. Others might take some time to go up to you. And very few try to kick and buck at you.

how do your tolters handle a new environment?
Fairly well. Since the change from iceland to Tennessee, they can take things nicely.

how do your mares handle weaning?
They are sure okay with it! Trust me! They get annoyed by all the ponies now xl

do your horses have any allergies?
As far as I know, not yet. Though I think Poe is allergic to Pandas and daisies.

pick three of your horses, how would they react to sheepdogs near them?
Nimmy - She would stand and stare at the dog.
Yahma - She would bite the dog.
Jordan - He would first be curious about the creature and then try to scare it away with mean acts.

[nimrod.]

which of your tolters are most comfortable with getting in a trailer? I would have to say Grazo and Ty are about tied for that :3 my good little boys <3

pick three horses, how friendly are they to newcomers? (both horses and people) Aza'Zel is an absolute freak, he is insanely cruel towards tolters and humans aside from me luckily. Ghink is playful in all aspects as well as a hunt difficult when it comes to about anyone. Grazo is the biggest sweetheart in the world towards absolutely anyone and anything! He desires to be loved on <3

do any of your tolters have any conformation flaws? Ty and Baby-Bell are the only two to have a conformation flaw.

what's the worst injury one of your horses have had without going into too much detail? I would have to say Goliath, being as he lost one of his eyes. But he is doing well under my care now :3 <3

what level rider do your horses need? this truly varies immensely, some aren't allowed a rider aside from myself, but then others would take care of a newborn baby it seems haha

who's your best jumper? Oh, Charalampos by far! He is my little athlete <3

which of your tolters would be most scared to cross an icy lake? For this I would have to assume Isidora, she doesn't have the greatest time with building up the courage to do things of any sort, and typically is found grazing with her love Dolores <3

how difficult are all your individual tolters to catch when they've been turned out in the pasture? They all have free roam whenever they wish, but if anything is to ever happen, the foals and fillies are the most difficult because they haven't learned things quite as well yet, and then I would have to say Fisnik, Ghink, Mason and Aza'Zel. Charalampos too, but he comes in as soon as the rest of his herd has made it in safely.

how do your tolters handle a new environment? They all tend to be very curious for the most part, though they tend to stay near one another aside from the braver ones. Aza'Zel makes his point to be a terror no matter where he goes, and Mason demands respect as well as Domtrix.

how do your mares handle weaning? All of my mares dislike it a great amount and wish to nurture and care for their little ones as long as possible.

do your horses have any allergies?Not that I'm aware of, personality wise it seems as though some are allergic to other tolters though haha

pick three of your horses, how would they react to sheepdogs near them? Mason would surely make it a point that they don't bother him nor get to close. Grazo would be constantly rubbing his head on them and licking them. Rover would be romping around and playing with them in nearly every way possible, how do you think he got his name <3

[Zitface]

which of your tolters are most comfortable with getting in a trailer?
That would be Kedai. She's the most level-headed of my tolters.
pick three horses, how friendly are they to newcomers? (both horses and people)
Frank, Destoroyah, and Batter.
Frank absolutely adores newcomers and is extremely friendly to them.
Destoroyah is aggressive and flighty, but he can warm up after growing used to a presence. This takes much, much time and dedication, however, and his flighty responses make him a suitable racer if the rider can keep his aggression in check.
Batter's friendly, and often gives people a chance, but he holds newcomers at arms length until he comes to trust them. Then he becomes, like his name, a bat out of hell in the best way possible.
do any of your tolters have any conformation flaws?
Destoroyah has a severe Roman nose, and Batter is a fair bit squat. Murdoc's a bit long, but other than them, they're pretty okay.
what's the worst injury one of your horses have had without going into too much detail?
Destoroyah freaked out after another tolter got too close to him while he was in his stable. He lashed out, and since the other tolter was not in the stall with him, only succeeded in giving himself a couple nasty pulled muscles.
what level rider do your horses need?
Destoroyah, Murdoc, and Batter all need high-level riders due to their stubborness, temper, or attitude, in no particular order. Kedai's good for lower-or-middle level, and Frank is especially good for beginners.
who's your best jumper?
Destoroyah.
which of your tolters would be most scared to cross an icy lake?
Frank, definitely. Frank balks at almost all water larger than his trough, a creek, or a swimming pool, so if he knew there was water under there, he would balk. Even if he DIDN'T know there was water, the slick surface would freak him out.
how difficult are all your individual tolters to catch when they've been turned out in the pasture?
Kedai comes when she's called, and Frank's bound to jump a bit away from you, but is as easy to call in as Kedai.
Batter is a bit tougher than those too, but a fair bit of clapping, stomping, and snorting from your end of the line will get him in: he loves to push buttons.
Murdoc and Destoroyah are absolute PAINS to catch, with Murdoc making you chase him around for no shorter than fifteen minutes.
Destoroyah only comes in when he wants to come in. He makes sure of that.
how do your tolters handle a new environment?
Frank gets a bit antsy, but he handles it well once his curiousity kicks in. Batter is similar in that regard, minus the antsiness.
Murdoc takes a definite shine to new environments in the form of seeing how much destruction or irritation he can get away with.
Destoroyah handles them okay, so long as there aren't any lifeforms that he doesn't know or trust there.
how do your mares handle weaning?
Kedai, being the only mare, handles it well. She can be a bit clingy to her foals, but that's just her style.
do your horses have any allergies?
Nope, not really.
pick three of your horses, how would they react to sheepdogs near them?
Frank would try to engage the sheepdog in play.
Murdoc would terrorize it.
Kedai would make sure it's not uncomfortably close before disregarding it and going about her business.

THIS WAS TOO FUN.

[Timey]

Ooooh questions!!

which of your tolters are most comfortable with getting in a trailer?

Tremor most likely. He's the most obedient horse at Cedar Adret...

pick three horses, how friendly are they to newcomers? (both horses and people)

I'll pick my three mares since they all have very different personalities.

Mojave is pretty much open to any new face as long as they're friendly. In fact she might come off as overly friendly.
Roshan isn't mean in any way, but she's just nervous around strangers. She generally tries to avoid meeting new people.
Cherry is aggressive with anything that has a face, so she usually scares them off. XD

do any of your tolters have any conformation flaws?

Roshan's a little lighter built than most. She's a tiny girl.

what's the worst injury one of your horses have had without going into too much detail?

Roshan's got scars from trying to jump a fence to get out of a very small paddock. She hates enclosed spaces so she was desperate.

what level rider do your horses need?

Mojave needs someone whose learned a little bit more than the basics, as she can get a bit out of control.
Roshan needs a semi-experienced rider who knows how to calm a spooked horse, as she gets freaked out quite often.
Tremor is a good beginner horse. He's good with riders of all ages and experience levels.
Ouranos and Cherry both need extremely experienced riders, as both of them are very stubborn and can be aggressive when they feel the need.

who's your best jumper?

Cherry's got really strong legs. We had to build the fences higher just to keep her inside the pasture.

which of your tolters would be most scared to cross an icy lake?

Roshan obviously. Poor girl is scared by anything. However Cherry might be a bit skeptical as well.

how difficult are all your individual tolters to catch when they've been turned out in the pasture?

Mojave enjoys a good game of keep away with the lead rope. -.-
Roshan acts like her life depends on her staying in the pasture. She prefers the wide open space over a box. This is the only time she shows any aggression. Eventually she gives in and goes willingly, but not without a little bit of hesitance.
Tremor just does what he's told when he's told to do it.
Ouranos and Cherry need an entire team to catch them. Ouranos is also known to nip.

how do your tolters handle a new environment?

Everyone is generally good about it. Mojave sees it as an adventure. Roshan is even good about it as long as that new environment is not surrounded by walls.

how do your mares handle weaning?

Mojave and Roshan are pretty gentle at first, but if the foal is particularly persistent then that's when they get a bit more strict.
Cherry's pretty stubborn about it. Once she decides they're cut off, they're cut off.

do your horses have any allergies?

Not that I know of. Ouranos acts like he's allergic to his own daughters though. -Le Sigh-

pick three of your horses, how would they react to sheepdogs near them?

Mojave sees sheepdog and thinks playmate. Her idea of play though could be a bit detrimental to the poor canines though if they don't feel like being accidentally crushed.
With Roshan, anything that isn't a horse or someone that feeds her is automatically out for her blood so she runs and hides until it goes away.
Cherry is not allowed around anything smaller than a foal, and even then she needs supervision.

[tynahi]

Which of your tolters are most comfortable with getting in a trailer?
Alec would be. Once he trusts someone he will do anything they ask, until they do something to lose his trust. Do to this he would be the most willing to go into a trailer when asked.

Pick three horses, how friendly are they to newcomers? (both horses and people)
Luciel - With people he is curious, but distant. He holds himself proud and watches them for a while before approaching. He is similar with new horses though at times with them he can seem more stand offish or aloof. He would rather watch from afar and is a little difficult to befriend.
Magnus - There is only one word for Magnus: flamboyant. He is very much a people person and enjoys meeting new people and horses. He can be a bit of a show off and it is not out of his nature to go out of his way to make an entrance.
Alec - Alec isn't really a fan of new comers, horse or man. He will be aloof or stand offish, but he can also act pleasant. He isn't openly mean but he is hesitant to trust and will be skeptical for quite a while until he gets to know the stranger. If he feels threatened he can be snappish and defensive.

Do any of your tolters have any conformation flaws?
Dathan is leaner and smaller than normal.

What's the worst injury one of your horses have had without going into too much detail?
Alec had an injury to his shoulder that got infected. Thankfully he has completely healed since then.
Skye was born blind.

What level rider do your horses need?
Depends on the horse. Intermediate to Advanced for most. Alec though can take on a few Beginners.

Who's your best jumper?
That would be Luciel

Which of your tolters would be most scared to cross an icy lake?
Xylia, though she is spunky she has a dislike for ice as it makes her feel as if she will lose control on the slick surface.

How difficult are all your individual tolters to catch when they've been turned out in the pasture?
Luciel - He can be a tad difficult to catch as he stands apart from the others and can be hesitant to come to you.
Magnus - He is fairly easy to catch as he come over to you for attention.
Alec - he is easy to catch as he comes over to you when he is called.
The foals are all relatively easy to catch unless you catch them in a frisky mood in which they will all scatter and can be a challenge to bring in.

How do your tolters handle a new environment?
Though they can be hesitant they all seem to adjust quickly and handle it well.

How do your mares handle weaning?
I currently don't have any mares, until my fillies come of age.

Do your horses have any allergies?
None that I am aware of.

Pick three of your horses, how would they react to sheepdogs near them?
Seraphina - Would be extremely curious and would probably go and sniff them and then frolic around wanting to play.
Dathan - Hesitant but curious, he would watch them from afar and keep his distance.
Hourglass - Would be friendly towards them but more reserved than Sera. She would watch them and let them be near her.

[dreamwalker]

Hey everyone! As most of you know, I fell behind on breeding archives while we were moving, and I have a lot of catching up to do. I'll likely be doing more updating tonight when I get on the computer, so if any of you have time could you do me a favor and check the archives, then pm me links to those ive missed and any offspring that arent listed? You dont have to, or course, just if you have time ^^
And to those of you who have foals from me, i'll be doing more line updates tonight and tomorrow as well and get everything up to date (I was up until 6am yesterday trying to update before I was too tired to draw properly x3)
Thanks everyone, and sorry for all the delays on my part! I'll be getting back into the swing of things now, I promise

[spideypuhl]

Ha, I'm sure the adult forms of the foals will make up for taking so long, dream! I loved Silas's adult form so much so, I know that others will love theirs :3

Anyways, I'd like to thank three people [and if I was an artist, I would give you a foal custom, jk jk of course X3]. The three important people I'd like to thank are:
Tendency, New Nimrod97, and of gators & feigns for volunteering to help with the updating of the main archive. I will try to be getting #450 to #500 done tonight or so. But, anyways, [directed to Nim, Tendency, & gators] just do whatever you can and I'll do the rest.

If you gifted your tolters / traded [if that's allowed, I'm not sure if it is] your tolter for another tolter / etc then please do message me and I will fix that up!

Anyways, I'll be answering the questions later tonight.

[Miavinn]

which of your tolters are most comfortable with getting in a trailer?
Neoma and Kyros are the sweet and gentle ones that are willing. Kyros might need a couple treats to get him in, but that's it.

pick three horses, how friendly are they to newcomers? (both horses and people)
Nyx is testy towards humans and has no objection to bucking and rearing. When it comes to horses, she makes sure they understand who's in charge as soon as they enter the paddock. Ambrosia can be a bit headstrong to new riders, but is overall a big sweety. With new horses, she assumes a comfortable relationship. If the other horse is rude, she makes sure that she is above them in the end. Theseus is very shy and spooky if he doesn't trust that your there for him. To horses, he's low man and is always welcome to the idea of backing down.

what's the worst injury one of your horses have had without going into too much detail?
My new foal is was low in the pasterns when it was born (due to an early birth), but now its is fine.
This is the foal and I need name and gender suggestions.
I'm leaning towards mare right now.
His momma is Neoma and his dad is Theseus (both greek names).

what level rider do your horses need?
Nyx needs a very experienced rider.
Theseus needs a rider who knows what their doing, but gentle to.
Ambrosia needs an intermediate-advanced due to being headstrong at first.
Neoma can be ridden with all riders.
Kyros needs a middle level rider to make sure he knows what's what.
My other two are foals and it's under coded as of yet.

who's your best jumper?
All of my Tolters are trained in jumping, but Nyx is the best despite her horrible attitude.

which of your tolters would be most scared to cross an icy lake?
Theseus, he'd be worried about falling in xD

how difficult are all your individual tolters to catch when they've been turned out in the pasture?
My foals unless you catch their mamas first, but Nyx is by far the worst with Ambrosia in 2nd (a huge gap I between their difficulties).

how do your mares handle weaning?
Neoma hates it due to being very protective and motherly to all.
Nyx is good, she doesn't like foals (even her own) that much, although, she does have a soft spot for her Phin.

do your horses have any allergies?
Not that I'm aware of.

pick three of your horses, how would they react to sheepdogs near them?
Phin would definitely frolicking around playing with them. Nyx would chase and bite them and Kyros tries to avoid them.
