• Wild horses generally gather in groups of 3 to 20 animals. A stallion (mature male) leads the group, which consists of mares (females) and young foals. When young males become colts, at around two years of age, the stallion drives them away. The colts then roam with other young males until they can gather their own band of females.
  
  
• While there are true wild horses, like the Przewalski's Horse, feral horses in North America such as the Mustang are not true wild horses. They are a nuisance to the native wildlife, and so it isn't uncommon for mass roundups of herds to reduce their wild population and save the natural resources of the land.
  
  
• There is only one species of domestic horse, but around 400 different breeds that specialize in everything from pulling wagons to racing. All horses are grazers.
  
  
• Mares typically cycle regularly between April and early September. The average length is three weeks, with most falling within the range of 18- to 23-day cycles. The mare will be in season for an average of five days during each cycle, with a range of three to seven or eight days. Although stallions undergo seasonal cycles with regard to how fertile they are too, there are differences. Stallions are "on" virtually all the time, ready and able to breed whenever there is a receptive mare. Ironically, though, they are much easier to shut "off." Mares typically only have one foal at a time, as having two can create serious problems and likely death without medical help.
  
  
• Horses are flighty, timid animals. The only time a horse will fight is if a stallion is protecting his herd from another stallion. When faced with danger like predators, wranglers and forest fires, a horse is more than likely going to fleee, unless a mare is defending her foal from said danger.

• No god modding. An Appaloosa is likely not going to be able to fight a draft horse.
  
• The top mare is not the stallion's favourite, but simply the most dominant mare in the herd. This position can be fought for.
• Stallions and mares do not fight to the death. If a horse dies from battle, it is likely from severe injury.
• Lone horses will not survive in the winter.
• A mare cannot just 'nurse' an unweaned foal out of the blue. She must be have given birth recently for her milk to be available.
• Make your own forms, please.
• No character limit, but don't get too out of hand.
• No one liners, writer's block is understandable every now and then.
