Vera -Mare
Tagged ; Illegal - Status ; Stage 2
Vera watches the stallion approach and her ears pun back flat to her head, pressing against her neck. The whites of her eyes are showing as her long legs prance nervously. Vera moves backwards in a fluid motion, like water rolling over rocks, but she doesn't get as far as the hypothetical water would. Vera is watching her dark grey sister, who is entirely calm and collected. The larger mare blows out air in a harsh snort, telling Artemis it's time to flee. This stallion was exposing his teeth and looked mean... And Vera doesn't want anything to do with him. Which is a sentiment that her nervous behavior is making perfectly clear. Artemis - Mare
Tagged ; Illegal - Status ; Stage 2
Artemis's head remains down and she continues to graze even as her keen ears hear the stallion approach. She doesn't even bother to glance over, instead she ignores him entirely even up to the point where she can feel his hot breath on her silky coat. Artemis picks her head up when he noses her, the mare's eyes narrowing slightly at his exposed teeth. She remains calm, though, knowing that her sister and herself have little hope of running away with him already being so close. However, Artemis doesn't like his attitude. She huffs in disapproval after eyeing him up and then lowers her head, grabbing another mouthful of grass. The small mare expects him to get insulted by her dismissing behavior, but quite frankly, the only way to see who a stallion truly is would be to watch them while they're mad. And Artemis's family in general has a talent for making other horses mad.
Blazing Bird - Bird - Mare
Tagged ; Open - Status ; Stage 1
Bird tosses her head, causing her mane to tumble down over her neck and scare away flies. Bird's ears flick around in all directions as she hears the distant calls of horses. It's spring, the season that the stallions are most aggressive and the season that Bird is the most elusive. She doesn't want to get dragged in to the drama o snaking and stealing, instead she just wants to be left alone. Well, at the moment she does. Maybe when she's further in her heat she'll emerge from solitude temporarily, but that would be very temporarily. The mare steps forward and lowers her head to dip her muzzle in the pool before her. She drinks deeply before lifting her head again to scan the area for other horses. So far all is clear. {Sorry.}
