Username: TimeLord~Jedi
Show Name: King of the Spire
Barn Name: Vlad
Gender: Stallion
Breed: American Paint Horse
Height: 15.0 hands
Age: 10 years
Color: Dark Grullo Sabino Somatic
Markings: sabino markings
Genes: E/e, a/a, D/D, Sab/sab
Personality: Vlad comes off as dark and brooding, which to be honest he kind of his. His nature gives off an impression of the calm before the storm. However there is no storm to follow the calm. Though a bit of a loner, Vlad is actually rather gentle. Not at all like the man he is named after. Vlad however, can be a bit difficult to ride. He carries a bit of a rebellious streak in him that often rears it's ugly head at the most inopportune times, and would be much more suited for a more experienced rider. Though not particularly mean he does find it difficult to make friends at times, and only forms deep connections with certain individuals. Mainly humans instead of horses. He's always enjoyed the company of humans better than he has his own kind.

Describe where he was born: When a pregnant mare who no one knew was in foal was placed on the wrong boat in the port for transportation, little unborn Vlad was dropped off in Spain. And after a long and eventful trip across Europe, was born in the place that gave him his name; Transylvania. This issue of shipping the mare all the way across the world could have been an issue easily fixed, if not for a man with a love for horses, an empty pocket, and nothing to lose who had been prowling the docks that day. Apostol was quick to grab Vlad's flashy dam and a truck and trailer, then sped off across Europe back to his small home on a run down farm.

This farm was nestled away in the hills, away from prying eyes as Apostol was a bit of a shut in. However morbid curiosity always drew him to the castle of Vlad the Impaler, which loomed in the distance. Vlad spent many nice, quiet years on this farm with his dam. He always did love the broken, yet cozy barn, and enjoyed the shade of the thick trees on hot days. The pasture fence had been destroyed by termites, and Vlad was plenty capable of being able to jump over it, yet he did not think, or want, to try. He and his dam were the only horses here, because as previously mentioned Apostole had little to no money. However Vlad liked it that way. Apostole's solitariness rubbed off on him.

He has since been seized by his dam's original owners, and now rests comfortably at Manteca Creek. However he longs for the quiet days back in Transylvania.

End Date: November 28th.

Show Name: Blinded by Bloodlust
Barn Name: Deimos ( Ancient Greek personification of terror)
Gender: Stallion
Breed: Quarter Horse (I really want some purebred QH)
Height: 15.0 hands
Age: 10 years
Color: Dark Grullo Sabino Somatic
Markings: sabino markings
Genes: E/e, a/a, D/D, Sab/sab
Personality: The best words to describe Deimos are angry, so very angry but also troubled. The guy has never experienced love from anyone but his mother, she was the only thing that kept him going. After her death, he just snapped. Nyra is working very hard and very patiently to try and recuperate him. He can be dangerous though so she always has to watch him closely. He even got his name for the day he busted free of his stall, made a mess of everything in the barn and was found in the paddock with many small wounds. Since then he has been kept outside, the stall reminds him of the days he was trapped in a little stall, after he hurt one of the humans at the old farm. Nyra can tell that there is something deeper though, feelings that he wants to let out but is afraid to open himself up once again.

Describe where he was born: Deimos's mother was a work horse on a farm. It had a small cracked wooden barn that had many a hole in it. The roof might as well be a made of swiss cheese the way that rain got in. The floor was dank, muddy and smelled of mold and decay. At night the horses feared the barns collapse with every breath of the wind. Their food was stored in a similar barn so it tasted as fowl as the floor would. This would be the reason that the horses would endure a harsh whipping, just for a mouthful of dry, dusty grass as they worked. The humans did not have enough horses so the few they had were very much overworked. Needing more horses they bred the mare to a nearby farms stallion. She continued to work while she was in foal. One day she froze as she was working, the humans tried to get her too move until they realized she was foaling. So the mare foaled in the field. It was a medium sized dirt field, it was hard and dusty. Not a great first impression for the colt. The people let her sit with him for about 6 min before getting her up and making her go to the barn. She had 3 days off before she went to work again. Deimos spent 5 years here, enduring the never ending work and torment. That was until the day his mother dropped. Then they dragged her off and he never saw her again, this is the cause of his never ending rage.

Username: SilverBell90
Show Name: Blood on the Pavement
Barn Name: Winchester
Gender: Stallion
Breed: American Quarter Horse
Height: 15.0 hands
Age: 10 years
Color: Dark Grullo Sabino Somatic
Markings: sabino markings
Genes: E/e, a/a, D/D, Sab/sab
Personality: Winchester is a horse with a true soldiers heart. He stays strong and marches on. Even when the hardest and most impossible times loom over him, giving up is something he never considers. It takes more than a loose of hope to stand like a wall before him. But, like a good soldier, he knows when to fight a threat or when to simply stand down.

Describe where he was born: Winchester was born on a small farm in the fields of Ireland. Made up of only a big field, a small two story house and a barn and a few shakes for storage and animals. His mother had him in the sunny field, surrounded by a simple stone wall and a forest on one side. The sun almost never shined on the plot of land, but on that day it did. Not a cloud in the sky for miles. He was raised by a kind family who trained to be just as strong and hard working as his mother until he was sold to new owners.

Describe where he was born: Storm was born in an old barn in Hawaii. It was in the dense jungle. It had and abandoned garden next to it and a well. A couple minutes after birth and he was already up on his legs. But not long after a storm hit and one of the beams fell pinning his mother under it. He had went outside earlier and was playing it the twirling leaves from the storm when he heard his mother's neigh. He tried to get it but the entrance was blocked. He lay on the ground till the storm was over. After a while an elderly man found him next to the barn and took him home. To this day he doesn't hate storms. In fact its quite the opposite. He loves them.

Show Name: Medusa's First Love
Barn Name: Dragon
Gender: Stallion
Breed: [Western Breed]
Height: 15.0 hands
Age: 10 years
Color: Dark Grullo Sabino Somatic
Markings: sabino markings
Genes: E/e, a/a, D/D, Sab/sab
Personality: Though he may look intimidating, Dragon is actually really sweet. He has his days where he wont want to do anything but he is usually up for a game or a silly race with the other horses. When it comes to competing he is competitive (duh) and determined, but he is always a good sport and will play fair. If he had to be summed up in one word it would be 'bold'. He is always taking risks and gets caught in places he shouldn't be, which unfortunately gives people the wrong idea about him. When it comes to other horses he doesn't take that much interest, though he does tend to enjoy playing with his usual field buddies.

Barn Name: Seth
Gender: Stallion
Breed: Appaloosa
Height: 15.0 hands
Age: 10 years
Color: Dark Grullo Sabino Somatic
Markings: sabino markings
Genes: E/e, a/a, D/D, Sab/sab
Personality: Seth's a pretty laid-back stallion. As a ranch horse, he has to be. He's extremely versatile and great with everyone, from an experience rider to the most horse-terrified little kid. He gets along with almost everyone and everything, and isn't scared of much. He's truly an old soul inside of a young horse's body.
Bloodstone Photo: here
Describe where he was born: Seth was a mistake of his sire breaking out of the barn in the night and finding himself in the pasture of an older trail horse. Unfortunately, she passed away in his birth because of her advanced age, but in her place there was the flashy little boy, Seth. He had to be bottle fed by hand, which is probably why he's so good with people, and before anyone knew it, he was all grown up. He's been loved by the family that owns him ever since.
