Adella | Mare | American Paint Horse | 8 Years | Stallion: Aden | Heat Stage: 4 | Covered
Tags: Aden and Herd, Wildfire and herd
Adella nuzzled her stallion, quite happy he had noticed and taken care of her heat without having Adella get obvious and vulgar. Adella thinks they'd produce a very interesting foal for sure. Adella nickered hello to the rest of Aden's mares before taking up the rear as Aden led the herd away. She saw he was going to challenge another stallion, a very young stallion with two mares. He snaked the younger mare to his herd and stood defiantly between his herd and the other stallion. Adella hoped the younger stallion would have the sense not to fight with Aden, being so young he'd lose hard and would lose his other mare.
Adella watched, partly confused and partly amused as the old grey mare tried to fight Aden off and how the other poor mare would get shoved back and forth. Adella didn't say anything, but she thinks the stallion and old mare should just give in. They won't win.
Fantasy | Mare | Appaloosa x Knabstrupper | 3 Years | Stallion: Diablo | Heat Stage: 4
Tags: Diablo, Ella
Summer had arrived and Fantasy was now in her final heat stage. She no longer cared about what Rizzo said or did, hormones were making her crazy. Fantasy stared at Diablo, who was grooming Ella and asking to cover her. He got distracted and Fantasy wrung her tail. She was hoping he'd finish with Ella and move onto her.
Now, normally Fantasy wouldn't do this, but her hormones were controlling her. Fantasy nickered to Diablo and trotted up to him. She nibbled at his muzzle briefly before turning around and backing to him with her tail held to the side. Ella also backed into Diablo. Fantasy pinned her ears and pushed away Ella's rump a little with her rump, backing into Diablo once more.
Arya | Mare | Appaloosa x QH | 6 Years | Stallion: Thowra | Heat Stage: 4 | Covered
Tags: Thowra
Arya turned her head back and forth, Thowra had called out to a new mare and Caribou's heat scent was quite strong, she looked like she may possibly want to be covered. Arya thought Thowra should get on that, the longer she goes without being successfully covered the more likely she is to draw other stallions. Thowra seemed focused on the new older mare though. Arya decided to stop grooming, the mare pulling one last twig out of Thowra's mane before moving away to graze.
Willow | Mare | Appaloosa | 14 Years | Stallion: Endeavour | Lead Mare | Pregnant
Tags: Endeavour, Copper
Willow touched her nose to the pinto stallion's taking in his scent. "Willow" The mare introduced herself simply. She wasn't much one for words. Willow listened to the stallion's command obediently, moving towards the rest of his herd at a walk. She eyed each one of them over. Willow decided she'd be the best fit for lead. She nipped at Yukon's muzzle to assert herself as dominate. She looked at Marion, who was now being groomed by Endeavour. Willow decided against nipping her for now, she was busy with Endeavour. She pinned her ears at the mare though to show she was dominant. She looked at Paige, the young mare with the foal. She didn't think the mare would need a nip being so young, so she just pinned her ears and swung her rump towards her before grazing. This way if Paige decided to be dominant Willow could easily give the mare a swift kick.
No one challenged her and Willow took position of highest mare. Willow walked away a little to graze, swishing her tail and stomping her hoof to shake the flies off her. Summer was now here and they were out in full force. Willow will be happy when they next get water, she'll roll around in the mud to help keep the flies off her.
Ameena | Mare | Arabian | 14 Years | Stallion: None | Heat Stage: 4
Tags: Reserved for Mark, Diana
The mare kicked at the water, splashing some of it onto Ameena. Ameena twitched her ears uncertainly. She could tell the mare was in a somewhat playful mood, but Ameena wasn't really one to play. Ever since she was born Ameena almost never played. She'd only play when she was hyped up and had lots of energy. Ameena didn't really have that energy right now. Ameena lowered her nose into the water and halfheartedly splashed water at Diana before stopping and looking away. Ameena was feeling a little lazy and irritable. They were still all alone, where are the stallions!? Maybe Lucy had the right idea leaving.
Fable | Mare | Arabian | 11 Years | Stallion: Griffin | Heat Stage: 3 | Covered
Tags: Petrova, Niah
Fable winced slightly as the mare kicked her shoulder once, but Fable quickly disengaged and moved away from the mare's rapid fire kicks. Fable glared at the mare and backed down for now. She'll have to use that move next time. Fable gave one last kick at the mare before trotting off to the small appaloosa mare, Niah. Fable pinned her ears at the mare and nipped at her nose before moving on. Niah was young and heavily pregnant, Fable doubted she'd fight much, or even if she did, Fable knew she would beat her. Fable stopped, looking around for Alouette she spotted her adopted foal playing with Pilgrim. Fable flicked her tail and lowered her head to graze, watching the two of them play.
Pilgrim was getting old, Fable thinks he can even breed now. Fable absolutely did not want him to try anything with her Alouette. If he did she'd be the one to chase him out, not Griffin.
Pepper | Mare | Arabian | 7 Years | Stallion: Riff | Foal: Menhit | Heat Stage: 0
Tags: Riff, Romeo
Pepper's heart melted seeing Riff react to his foal for the first time. She remembered him telling her he'd never seen his foals, Menhit should be his first one. Now some or even most mares may not allow a stallion so close to their foal, but Riff had shown nothing but kindness to her and Pepper knew nothing about stallions other than what she's experienced with Riff. Now, Ohanzee she'd be wary about, and Pepper will never let Taylor near her foal, but Riff. Riff she felt safe with, she trusted him fully. He asked for her name and Pepper nickered, "Menhit. That's what I've been calling her." Pepper doesn't really know where she got the name, it just kind of popped into her head, but maybe she heard it somewhere once.
Pepper's ears flicked back, hearing a small and short whinny. She disregarded it at first, thinking that Secret had just given birth to a noisy foal. A little while passed with Secret still gone and she heard another short whinny. It piqued Pepper's interest. Pepper nuzzled Riff and told him she'd be back before leaving to go investigate with Menhit. A short walk through the woods later and there he was. A newborn chestnut colt lying beside a dead Secret. Pepper's heart sunk. She hadn't known Secret for long, but she had come to like her a tiny bit. She mostly felt bad for the foal. It would grow up motherless. Unless, well. Pepper supposed she could take it in, treat it like her own. Yeah, she can do that. Pepper walked up to the small colt, nickering softly to him she nudged the colt, encouraging him to get onto his feet.
Menhit | Filly | Half Arab | Newborn | Stallion: Riff | Sire: Riff | Dam: Pepper
Tags: Pepper, Riff, Romeo
The stallion approached her quickly, he was much bigger than she originally thought. He even scared her a little and Menhit clacked her gums at him, the clacking a way of saying 'I'm a baby, I submit, don't hurt me!' Her mother did not seem concerned and the stallion was gentle. Menhit's ears flicked forward and the filly began to imprint on him believing he was her dad. Menhit booped Riff's nose with her nose before turning around to nurse on her mother, small pale tail flicking back and forth.
Her mother said some words and started to walk away. Menhit trotted after her mother in a high stepping trot. She was stronger now, more coordinated and could move in such a way now. She enjoyed the change in pace, much better than a wobbly walk. They came across a mare lying down in the forest with a small colt. Menhit had no concept of death yet, so she was not concerned about the mare, but the colt was very interesting to her. Menhit trotted forward and lowered her head to stare at the colt, nickering in her high-pitched voice, "Hi! I'm Menhit!"
Riot | Stallion | Arabian | 16 Years | Coverings: 6
|| Mares: Harley, Revolution, Hope, Aria, Lucy, Dusk, Echo, Nihna || Foals: Annabelle, Rebel, Sonata ||
Tags: Herd
Riot enjoyed the mutual grooming, but his joy faded away when Hope collapsed to the ground. Riot split away from Lucy and got ready to sprint over to the mare, the stallion deeply concerned for the well being of his mare. Revolution was already by her side and Harley was heading over. Harley told him to stay back with the herd. Riot didn't want too initially, but giving it a second thought, he decided that would be the best thing. Riot needed to protect the herd with both lead mares gone. Riot gently herded Lucy to the rest of his mares. He then went around pushing all of his mares closer to each other. He trotted a few circles around them before stopping in front. One ear and eye was kept on his lead mares, while the other ear and eye were focused on the rest of his mares.
He wondered what was wrong with Hope. Was she sick? With what? His eye looked at Nihna. She had been sick last fall, was Hope sick from the same thing too? Riot doesn't think so considering how close Harley and Revolution was, but then, what was wrong with his mare?
He glanced at his foals who were playing together when the older one, Annabelle's leg fell into a hole and the filly flipped over. His heart leapt to his throat and Riot took a couple of steps forward, extremely worried for his foal. Tripping like that could mean a death sentence if you were to severely injure your front leg. The filly sprung back up to her feet and trotted around like nothing happened. Riot let out a long sigh of relief. His mares got Hope to stand up. She looked to be fine from here, if a little bit uncomfortable. Riot nickered to her, wanting to go over and comfort her and make sure she was alright, but he had to stay by his mares.
Hera | Mare | Friesian | 3 Years | Stallion: Silence | Pregnant
Tags: Silence, Lexie
It was now in the warm spring months, almost summer. Summer was when she met Silence, and the pond she's drinking from is where they met. Where they had played. Hera wanted to play now, but she was too heavily pregnant carrying their foal. Since Hera had met Silence she had grown another two inches, making her sixteen hands. She was now slightly taller than Silence. She wondered if she would grow anymore, probably not. She was three now, after three you don't grow much more in terms of height.
Hera's ears flicked forward and she lifted her head, water dripping down from her muzzle she spotted a bay Arabian in the meadow with them. It smelt like a mare, they could use another mare. Hera glanced back at Silence and nickered to him to notify him of the new mare's presence.
Crystal | Mare | Gypsy Vanner | 13 Years | Stallion: Sunset Boulevard | Pregnant
Tags: Sunny, Princess
(going to wait for more replies)
Crystal followed after her stallion, agreeing to his proposition she told him her history as they walked. "Well, I was a brood mare, owned by these famous Gypsy breeders. My life wasn't very interesting with them, but it was nice. I mostly just grazed in a pasture with other mares, geldings, and foals. Occasionally I would be shown off, and even rarer, I would be ridden..." Crytal paused for a moment, the mare carefully making her way down a hill before resuming, "For the past year I traveled with a gelding as my companion. He was sweet. He died this last winter..." Crystal's voice had a hint of sadness as she spoke of her gelding friend, she did miss him very much.
The river was now in sight of them, and a little ways away was a graying Hanoverian mare. She was quite young, Crystal guessed she wasn't even three years of age. She was beautiful however, and smelt of no other horses. She'd make a fine edition to the herd. Crystal noticed Sunny hadn't called to her yet, that's fine, she'll do it. Crystal whinnied to the mare, inviting her to come closer if she'd like. Crystal looked back at Sunny and asked, "So what about you?" They can talk some more until the mare decides to come over.
Atarah | Mare | Knabstrupper Cross | 10 Years | Stallion: None | Heat Stage: 3
Tags: Open
Atarah moved through a valley of flowers. She moved with confidence, she knew she was pretty, she knew she was desirable. What stallion wouldn't want her? She held her silver colored tail high, flicking it occasionally to spread her scent. It was very pretty out here, there were many different kinds of flowers of all different colors. Blues and reds, yellows and purples. Atarah thinks every color in the rainbow is here in this one spot.
Atarah tossed her head, whinnying loudly to inform any nearby stallions that she was here and available. She fired off some playful bucks and picked her pace up into a lope.
Foxy | Mare | Trakehner | 12 Years | Stallion: None | Foal: Admiral | Heat Stage: 3
Tags: Admiral, Karlos and herd
Foxy watched the stallion cover the over two mares, she could feel her own hormones flaring up, wanting to take control. She felt her colt mount her and Foxy pinned her ears at him, warning him to back off. The stallion walked over to Foxy once more and she turned her atenttion back towards him, nickering excitedly to the pinto. She notice him glance at her colt and Foxy pinned her ears and nipped at his muzzle. When he looked away, she calmed slightly and allowed herself to be pushed into his herd. Foxy's ears flicked forward and she introduced herself, "I'm Foxy, the little one is Admiral." She paused for a few seconds, glancing at her colt and the two new mares. Foxy stepped in closer to Karlos and groomed his neck, flagging her tail slightly as she did so.
Admiral | Colt | Trakehner | 1 Month | Dam: Foxy | Herd: None
Tags: Foxy, Karlos and herd
Admiral watched as Karlos mount and claim his mares, it was interesting to the young colt, it was something he hadn't seen before but had felt to do sometimes when he played. Admiral felt to do it now and mounted his dam for practice but a pin of her ears sent him skittering away. Admiral trotted around in a small circle, looking at Karlos' mares before lowering his head to graze. He watched Karlos interact with his mother, soaking everything up so he'd know what to do when he was of age.
