hoofbeats. wip wild horse rp, dont post

[wishes.]

"Ten thousand years ago, the native wild horses of North America myste-
riously disappeared. But in 1519, a Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes and his
soldiers landed on the coast of Mexico with sixteen Spanish mounts, thereby
reintroducing the horse to its ancient range.
In time, European settlers of a young America moved west, bringing with
them heavy draft horses, Arabians, and other breeds that sometimes escaped or
were set free when homesteads failed. Many of these animals survived to give
birth to new wild bands. And the Plains Indians, at the height of their glory
in the 1800s, even developed new breeds suchn as the Appaloosa. With vast
prairies available, more than a hundred thousand of these 'mustangs' (from the
Spanish word mesteno, meaning mixed-blood) roamed over ten western states..."

i will reserve spots.
we aren't only going to have four stallions and four mares,
dont worru about that.
i dont mind horses talking, but i would prefer not
a lot of talking.
this is a realistic horse role-play,
if you want to, use the horses' actions to show.
if this role-play gets people, horses will be pregnant
for a long time. i don't want a mare to find a stallion,
get pregnant, then have a foal all in one or two days.
id say at least ten days in this roleplay.
a horse does have a personality, but it isn't like,
flirty? i don't think there is such a thing as a flirty horse.
all horses get mean. even if they are a rather gentle horse.
a mare may be one of the sweetest things to exist, but if
it comes to her foal, you better watch out.

this is a semi lit role-play, i am expecting more than
five sentences per post. i am a nice person, but when it
comes to posting, i get a bit annoyed. i want you to write
up to my expectations. otherwise, don't join. i think we all
know that you time skip when mating and birthing, and no force mating.
that's about it.

i will decide when the next season shall come,
dont pester me about it please.

summer [ ]
the hottest and driest part of the year.
herds are now seeking for shade in the patches
of trees around the area, and also looking for
good food and water, which is harder to find at
this time of the year, as rivers dry out and grass
roots go stiff and unedible. Mares are going out
of heat, and the foals are growing stronger but
are still an easy meal to a mountain lion or wolf,
wheras the yearlings are too quick for them now.

autumn [ ]
the summer days are gone, and the herds are looking
foward to cooler days and nights as the trees shed their
leaves across the grasses that are finally coming back
stronger and tastier. drizzles and rain is expected now,
and as the rain gets stronger as autumn comes to an end,
grass again becomes unedible as the mud, rain, and hooves
slowly turn it into clumps of soggy mush, but this rarely happens
in autumn, only in winter.

winter [ ]
what most think is to be the hardest part of the year to get
through. rain becomes heavier and heavier, and herds desper-
ately try to find shelter under bare trees, although there are
evergreens which give great shelter to a group of horses. as
the grass turns into clods of soggy mush underneath the horses'
hooves, the herds snack on the bark from the trees, which may
not taste any good, but manageto fill hungry bellies until spring.
Wolves are becoming common as they seek for a weak horse,
but mountain lions remain uncommon. When snow begins to fall,
rivers are usually iced over, and horses have to paw at the ice to
get their drink, as they paw the snow for grass roots.

spring [ ]
the best time of the year for herds. mares become in-heat as their
previous-year foals are born, and the stallion mates with all the mares
in his herd as he did the last year. two year-old colts and fillies are
kicked out of their bands. colts usually join up into bachelor herds,
and the fillies move together inn groups until a stallion finds them
and takes them in, whether courting or snaking. stallions also want
to steal mares from other herds, and the stallions will usually fight
each other. Grass quickly becomes edible again, so this is the season
to fatten out those bellies for the upcoming seasons.

{ paradise } { mare } { loner } { troublesome }




name;; "It's Paradise City, and goodness knows why. Most call me Paradise, and close friends call me Par."

age;; "I'm four years old."

gender;; "Umm... A girl? Do you have problems?"

herd;; "I'm a loner, but I haven't been for long. My stallion was captured by a group of mustangers, and the rest of the herd is scattered about the area now."



general description;; Paradise has a good sized body. A nice barrel, held steady on four strong legs, with a well-muscled neck and pretty head to go along with it. She therefore has a medium-sized body, with extra muscle because of her fathers quarter-horse blood. Her coat is a warm, soft brown with creamy white patches across her body. The top of her mane, and the tip of her tail, are fringed with black. She has a little fleck of white on her forehead, and a neat little snip on the end of her velvety muzzle. And to top it off, Paradise has big brown eyes.

general personality;; One word that basically covers the whole of Paradise City: Troublesome. No matter where she is, she can always find a way to get up to mischief by playing pranks on her fellow herd mates. But sometimes she gets in a little too deep, and can find herself in some pretty sticky situations. She just loves a good laugh, and, despite and trouble she causes, she always manages to lift sunken hearts and brighten everyones day. She is a generally sweet horse, but isn't afraid to get grumpy, and has been known to get very moody at times. She is extremely curious, and has to know everything, and doesn't mind interupting things, even if others do.

general history;; "Well, I started off in my fathers herd, and led up the life of a troublemaker, and frankly, none of the fillies my age liked that about me. They were all dull and boring, following in their mothers' steps. But not me. My dad was a quarter horse, previously owned by those strange twolegs... But he was the adventerous type, like I am now, and he wanted to escape. So he did, and if he hadn't, I would never've been born. So, whenever Spring came, and my dad had finished his 'buisness' with the mares, he would always play with me, and cause havoc through the herd. Ah, I sure do miss those days. But I still live up to that expectation now. I found another herd when I was two, after I simply left my old herd in search of new things. I found a beautiful, charming stallionm by the name of 'Bronze', and his name certainly matched his glowing chestnut colour. I had a good run there, but my first foal died during the winter. It was also in that winter that mustangers captured dear Bronze, and a few of the other herd members. Anyone that wasn't rounded up was left alone for the winter... But I survived. And now, I'm just a loner, and its pretty good."



kin;; Sire: Bring it On; Bay Quarter Horse stallion.
Dam: Little Miss; piebald mustang.
Siblings: Unknown.

herd members;; loner.

foals;; none yet.

{ ghost } { mare } { loner } { quiet}




name;; "I'm Ghost Town... My mother named me that because I'm quiet.. Like a ghost town.."

age;; "I'm three.."

gender;; "A.. mare?"

herd;; "I'm a loner.."



general description;; Ghost is a relitavely small mustang, standing at just fourteen hands. She is a naturally skinny horse, with little muscle. Ghost has a beautiful frame, put together by a lipizanner stallion, but a sadly weak mare. If her mother had had a better frame, Ghost would've been an exceptional horse, but that was not the case. She has a pure white coat, with tiny black flecks across her body, with a little black muzzle, with a dash of pink on it. The little mare has kind brown eyes, and small, delicate hooves.

general personality;; Ghost is much like a ghost in her personality, except for the fact she isn't scary, and won't haunt you! She is very quiet, and usually keeps to herself. She can even be called ainti-social by her actions. But she is really just shy, and doesn't like to be in big groups, therefore doesn't spend time with others, so she never has to speak. Ghost Town is also quite cautious of things, and can easily spook at as little as a rustle in the bushes. The reason she is like this is because she was captured with her father during her first few months of being born (her mother had been captured long before then), and because Ghost showed good bloodlines, they planned to keep her with her mother and father. But she was always beaten for doing the wrong thing, and as she got confused, the harder they hit her.
Ghost may be anti-social, but she is very dependent and hates to be alone, but doesn't like being around others.

general history;; Ghost's mother, a tiny grey mustang, had been taken in by the mustangers when she was sick. They got her healthy again, and decided to keep her, because she showed good signs of a neat little cowpony. But Fondor the lipizanner, the ranchs' most prized possession, liked the look of the mare (who was named Dove), and she liked the look of him. He managed to leap the fence into her pen, and then leap back into his own, the mustangers suspecting nothing.
So, in time, they realised someone had mated with her, and when the foal was born, they knew the sire right away.
"This wee things the offspring of Fondor!" They exclaimed, as Ghost slowly rose to her feet.
And after a few months, Ghost was a strong little filly, but not for long. The mustangers wanted her broken in srtaight away, but she wasn't ready. They shoved a saddle and bridle onto her, put her on a lunge rein, and told her to go foward. She stayed put, confused. The other mustangers pushed her foward, but she slowed to a stop again. She had no idea what was being asked of her, so when they brought out the whip, and hit her rump with it, she went into a flying gallop, which only infuriated the mustangers even more.
She was heavily beaten, but still she could not take their commands.
In time, her father saw what was happening to her, and intervened, striking at the mustangers whenever they tried to touch poor Ghost. But she was still in a bad state. So Fondor took drastic actions. He found Dove, and Ghost Town, and the three of them escaped in the dead of the night.
Fondor and Ghost slowly learned the ways of the wild, and soon it was as if all three of them had always been wild horses. Ghost was still very quiet, and Dove and Fonder sadly knew why.
At the age of three, Ghost left her 'herd', and became a loner. She has been ever since.



kin;; Sire: Fonder. Big lipizanner stallion.
Dam: Dove, small grey mustang mare.
Siblings: None.

herd members;; loner

foals;; none.
