Out here in North America, we have no space for weaklings. We either grow up tough or die. The horses here are hardy and know their way around. So when a group of show horses escape into their home land, the wild equines don't know whether to help them or let them die.
Who are you? What will you do?

All you have to know, is that only the tough survive.

alright, i've seen in most role plays that stallions get mares at the age of three. this is very unrealistic. stallions not in a bachelor herd usually stay alone until they are around six which is the age where they are just getting into their prime. that is why, i am really going to knuckle down on young stallions. if i find that they are collecting too many mares and such, i will ban them from collecting any more. here, the bachelor herd is the best way to gather mares and interact with stallions. also, mares may have crushes but the stallion is everyone's mate. lead mares can be chosen by the stallion though once this has happened, the lead mare may be challenged by a subordinate for the rank. stallions usually don't mind this as it means that they have a more powerful lead mare than before. please be realistic in this role play, i will be watching out for it.

bands;

a band consists of three or less mares. there is often no lead mare as the stallion does not have so many mares to overwhelm him and his duties. when the mares produce, a lead mare is usually picked to help guard and the band does not progress to the title of herd until a foal matures and decides to stay or another mare is brought into the herd.

herds;

a herd is a group of horses that has four or more mares in it along with a leading stallion. a herd will most likely have a lead mare to share the load of duties the stallion does. lead mare is a rank that can be fought over and the stallion usually favours the winning mare as his best, knowing that she is strong and can evenly help him with his work.

lone mares;

a lone mare is a female equine that has not been claimed by a stallion. they have the right to move through territories and are either courted into a herd or snaked. if a mare is covered, they usually join the herd of the stallion that covered them.

bachelor herd;

a bachelor herd is a group of male horses that come together until they find their own way or get a mare. bachelor herds often work together to capture a mare then the most dominant male will take the female and leave the bachelor herd. fights often break out for dominance but when working together, this herd is often unbeatable and without a doubt the most powerful group.

lone stallions;

a lone stallion is a male equine that has not joined a bachelor herd and has no mares. they are usually around the age of 2-5 and aren't very welcome in any places. they are vulnerable to the bachelor herd and must compete with the band of stallions as well. lone stallions often can't get a mare until they around around 6. unable to claim territory either, they are the pests of the country.

foals;

a foal is simply the child of a horse. a horse must be under the age of two to be categorized as a foal. they are usually born in herds and remain that way. once the age of two, lead mare or stallion will kick them out and they must either join another herd, start a herd or remain a loner.

Season:

It is currently Spring. The air is very humid and the grass is long and green. Because of all this, the horses are excited and energetic. What's more, the mares are in heat and this is the first Spring with the tame horses. Can they all mingle? Stallions are gathering mares right now, territories are not on their mind. The goal is to get mares and start a family. When the cold air sets in, that is when they will find land. Mares right now can be picky. They are healthy and are able to fend for themselves so freedom is something they cherish. The wolves and cougars are gone, leaving only coyotes who can easily be dealt with.

Announcements:

The role play has opened!

[cheshire.]

name;
Despereaux's Bravado. I know, it's a mouthful but it was the name given to me by my humans. I am commonly called Des though.

age;
I am eight years old and proud. I am in my prime and although I lack experience, I am eager to make a herd and get into the wold way of living.

gender;
A stallion of course. Do you not see my masculine build and proud head. Hmm, perhaps not. Well, I'm a stallion, just to clarify.

tame/wild;
I was originally a tame horse. My rider was a young girl who was very competitive. She also loved art, thus the markings on my body.

personality;
Des is an outgoing and very tolerant stallion. He does not know the dominance that wild stallions possess and when often faced against it, Des is quick to back down. He is a protective stallion and likes to negotiate his way out of troubles. Though when a fight is prominent, Des is noble and very level headed. He used his mind as best as he can to figure out a way to win battles. Despite being fit, Des lived a life of healthiness and privilege do no matter what fight against wild horses, he is usually at a disadvantage. A but of an optimist, Des is a positive stallion to be around and is very social.
When thinking deeply, he lowers his head almost to the ground and lays back his ears. It makes him look like he is snaking but Des simply likes the position, claiming it makes him even more thoughtful. Sometimes Des can lose his patience with other stubborn horses but he doesn't get aggressive, he simply makes a point of looking extremely irritated.

rank;
I am a stallion in the bachelor herd. Yes, I know I'm old enough to be one of the dominant ones but look at me. I am an odd ball, an outcast. And my lack of fighting skills make me one of the weakest, despite the fact that I am fit.

herd;
The bachelors are my herd. But I hope to pick up a mare or two if they will have me.

mares wanted;
Will Edit

foals;
Ahhh, the young foals. I have actually sired two very beautiful fillies. I cherished them both when I saw them but after the huge stampede of domestic horses, I haven't seen them. I do plan to sire more, perhaps with the wild spirits of where I know live.

other;
Okay, Des is a solid Frisian stallion. His markings were made to last a long time but they are just starting to fade too. Not to vibrant as the gif above, they almost seem part of his fur. Des' bridle is actually still on him. The reins have split and hang around his legs and the bit was snapped off after Des used a jutting out branch to cut it. He is very close to getting it off completely.

name;
Dante is the name. It's pretty simple so I will be a little surprised if you forget it.

age;
Dante is surprisingly only five. So of course, he is at the lower end of the food chain here.

gender;
Stallion, definitely. Meet him and you'll know.

tame/wild;
A wild stallion Dante was born as but both he and his sister were captured when he was four and she, three. They were eventually released again though as it was fortunate that the ones who had captured them were just counting the number of wild horses.

personality;
Dante is a very difficult stallion to get along with. He comes off as vain, arrogant and cocky. Dante has a lot of pride and next to never swallows it down which results in a lot of trouble if a stronger male comes up to him. Dante is stubborn and head strong, always picking fights and claiming himself right. He would much rather eat rocks that admit another stallion better than him. Sometimes vain, Dante takes a lot of pride in his looks. He knows he was well built and isn't afraid or embarrassed to strut around and claim himself beautiful. Sometimes he stupid enough to say he's prettier than the mare he;s trying to flirt with.
Dante has a short temper and very easily gets cocky and too full of himself. When challenged, Dante is quick to get pumped up and fiery, sometimes turning dangerously aggressive or hostile. Most of the time, this is how Dante is.
And yet, he still has some of the sweet little stallion he once was when with his sister. Dante, if alone with one person her trusts, can become a little sensitive and insecure. He tries to hide up all his emotional scars with bad but powerful traits that mask the real him. He can care and when he sometimes looks possessive of mares, Dante is just trying to be protective.

rank;
Lead Stallion

herd;
He is yet to have a herd.

stallion/mares wanted;
Dante has a small liking for _________ & _________

foals;
None yet.

other;
Dante is siblings with Aire.

name;
Debonaire. Yes, I know there is an 'e' on the end but that is just to add some feminine touch to it. It's sort of the opposite of who I really am so most call me Aire which is pretty much pronounced as 'air.'

age;
Four is her age. One year younger than her brother.

gender;
Mare.

tame/wild;
Aire was born wild but when she was three, she ran into humans with her brother. They were released after a few days but she was vicious in the time she had been caught, always charging at the fence.

personality;
Debonaire is quite the klutz. She is constantly falling and doesn't usually take the time to think things through or at least try and get some direction on her movements. Aire is very laid back and doesn't really mind what happens to her. No, she isn't lazy or unenthusiastic. In fact, Aire is a social mare and loves to talk to others. She will sometimes seek out company and likes to know that she had someone watching over her.
Debonaire has a slight sense of humour that is polite, calm and never exploiting. She takes comments both negative and positive about her very lightly and is not vain. A family orientated mare, Debonaire is your typical female.

rank;
Lone mare at the moment.

herd;
No one has picked her up yet.

stallion/mares wanted;
Debonaire often sees the bachelor herd and admits that she likes the look of them. But stallions are a rough creation and she is yet to actually become attracted to one.

foals;
Aire adores foals and wished for one of her own but she has only just come into sexual maturity.

other;
Aire is siblings with Dante.

we are now open

[BIGBANGisVIP]

name;
Which name shall I use? Hmm I prefer to be called Shiloh but my other name shall remain secret. For now...
age;
Well that's very rude. But if you must know I am 5 and a half.
gender;
Well that's a rude question to ask a very lady like mare like myself.
tame/wild;
Born wild and raised wild. I have never wished to belong to those fowl smelling beings known as humans.
personality;
My dam always said I would never be able to live a herd life. She said I would just run from herd to herd or band to band but never find a real home. So I guess I'm more of a wanderer. I'm swift and I know how to use my weight. So if you wish to test that go ahead. I'm sly and that's how I get out of all of these herds and bands. I don't need a stallion and that's what has kept me from staying with a group of horses for very long. I have a few issues I guess you would call them. I despise young rowdy foals who are always whinnying and running around your legs.
I had a colt once.. He never listened and one day the humans got him. He was only 2 years young. His capture was result of him not listening. I also despise haughty, rowdy, loud and proud stallions that prance around and act like they own every thing and every mare that they see. I am a loner and I don't believe I will change.. But we never know..
rank;
Lone mare
herd;
None. Were you not listening when I was explaining my hatred of herds and bands?
stallion/mares wanted;
The grey stallion whom I think goes by the name od Dante has caught my eye every now and then.
foals;
One. Who's name was Atlas. Who knows what he goes by now.
other;
No.. Not that I can think of..
