Ghost flicked an ear back, it was quite obvious the mare was afraid, and he didn't want to startle her further but he feared the saying he had been taught since his early days. A lone horse is a dead horse. Ghost had been on his own for merely a few weeks and considered himself quite lucky to be thriving in such a beautiful and lush place. He knew many horses were not as fortunate. It was clear this mare had spent awhile on her own. She seemed quite surprised to see a stallion near her.

"I really won't hurt you," he repeated, this time sounding a little more serious. "I'm guessing you don't have a herd, am I correct?" He asked quietly, glancing around him. There didn't seem to be any other horse even close. It was like this little meadow by the forest was just this mares own little world and that no one else had ever even come close. Now that Ghost had somehow stumbled across her little land, he wondered how she would react.

The stallion had continued to speak, it wasn't annoying. But having a horse in her little territory/land was different. "I have no herd, I haven't a herd since I was young and left my last herd because of a rogue" She said. Candle's ears weren't pricked like they usually were, but nor were they flat against her head, no teeth were bared by the Appaloosa. She was merely terrified of what a horse like this could do to her. She had chosen to become a lone horse, and she had heard the saying: A lone horse, is a dead horse many times before. She believed it, but as long as the mare stayed strong and spirited in her mind she never believed she was truly alone. She had become a hermit by choose and wasn't afraid to say it, well, now she was...

Looking back to the stallion she wondered how he had come across her tiny peice of perfect land. Had he seen her from afar, being not cloaked in the shadows as usual. Or had he simply stumbled upon this land at the right time for himself. She would probably never know, not that she was all to curious about being disturbed by a unknown horse.

Ghost nodded with understanding, he had met many mares who had bad experiences with stallions and had become timid or aggressive. The same must have happened to this mare. "I'm not like those others. I don't keep my mares as 'trophies' and I actually respect my mares. It's my job to keep my herd safe, and only that." He explained quietly. He didn't like the whole trophy thing. When he was a younger colt, he used to keep his mar as trophies, but he was way past that. Nowadays he wouldn't hurt a fly, unless of course that fly was annoying him...

The pinto stallion knew why the mare stayed here. It was quite perfect. A small stream ran through the middle of the lush green meadow and the forest was only a small canter away. There were apple trees for shelter and a clear water to drink, lots of grazing. What could be better? The little slice of paradise was hidden away from other stallions and horses.

Candle was tempted to run, every inch of her body told her to. But it was as if she had been glued to that one spot on the ground. The breeze ruffled her mane and tail blowing her heat towards more more directly then before. That was another thing, one that she had dreaded. Stallions had followed her a lot when she was in heat. And again of course she was. She took a step back but planted her hooves. "How can I be so sure, I have been tossed about by other studs, chased by them, courted and snaked and held for no reason" She answered in a low scared tone.
(Sorry writers block and gotta go soon ride my horse, so only a few more replies)

[FireFilly]

"I'm sorry that has happened. No horse deserves to be treated like that but it's in the past. Sometimes you just got to give things another go. I promise I won't hurt you. When I make a promise I don't break them." He replied calmly, although inside he was slightly disappointed that this mare really didn't want to join him. It was her choice though, if she wanted to leave than Ghost would leave her be. But he was taking a liking to this land, and was starting to want to stay...

{WB sorry! Lucky you have a horse }

[MagicOfHorses]

((Yeah shes a pain though haha, half thoroughbred, she goes a little nuts and I haven't ridden her in two days ))

Her natural instinct's earged her to run for her life, but for some reason she felt a little safe by his soothing tone and use of language. She wasn't sure was to say, but she spoke anyway again, "I will join, but if I am ignored or thrown about I will be leaving before you know it.." She answered very slowly so that each and every word sunk into the stallions brain.
(WB to I have writers block :O:O:O:O:O)

[FireFilly]

(I have weekly riding lessons, and my favorite horse to ride is a beautiful dapple grey filly called Zee. She's still green since she's only 4-5 I'm not really sure. She's such a sweetie though!)

Ghost smiled and nudged her gently. "Don't worry, I won't let that happen." He replied with a short snort. "I just realized I don't know your name! I'm Ghost by the way." He explained calmly, lowering his head and snatching up some of the bright green grass and chewing contentedly as he waited for the appaloosa's reply.

(WB )

[MagicOfHorses]

((Haha its okay about WB... And I have lssons on my mare because I haven't learnt to ride properly and now my instructor wants me to ride her show pony in like royal shows etc :O gotta go for a while...))

Candles snorted softly, "My name is Candles in the Moonlight, but I do prefer Candle" She replied shortly. Swishing her heated tail.

[Luna~tic]

{{It's okay, just don't want you guys to get into trouble.}}

[MagicOfHorses]
