Okami

The pale palomino stood at the edge of a forest, keeping an eye on the various herds scattered around. The arrival of spring was a welcome gift even though he'd lost the only two mares he'd had for some time. The loss of the pretty pale mare, Mizu had been particularly upsetting since he'd spent so much time and effort getting her. No matter now. He'd shake off the loss and start over. It was all he could do. With a whinny to call any lone mares to his side, he pricked his ears, waiting.
Ohanzee

"Sorry if I startled you," Ohanzee apologized once she saw the mare's nerves. As the grooming session continued, both mares relaxed, enjoying the company of one another. She paused, a little surprised by the question but pleased too. It felt nice to be looked up to for advice. "I was. I've lived my entire life wild," Ohanzee replied proudly. "Advice?" She took a moment to think about what to say before answering. "You've already learned much about the wild but it's very important to watch the oldest horses. By watching them, you'll learn all kinds of things, like the best watering holes or grazing spots but also areas where predators or humans roam. We haven't seen humans in a long time but when they were here, some of us would go deep within the mountains to try and avoid them. It was all because the older mares realized the danger they posed and understood the need to keep the herd safe." Ohanzee didn't know if this was quite what Pepper wanted to know but either way it was good advice. Learning by watching how others behaved and then later imitating them. It's how Ohanzee had learned and how many others learned as well.
Mozart

The stallion seemed friendly enough. So far. All he'd done was nicker though, making it clear that it was her choice to approach him or not. The mare made no impression yet and while Mozart stood back hesitating, yet another mare came into view. This one seemed a bit more confident than Mozart though since she was already approaching the stallion and mare. After another moments hesitation, Mozart followed the mare's example and headed towards Romeo, Reign, and the foal, ears flicking back and forth to display her wariness.
Merlot

Looking over the pretty grulla, Merlot was definitely delighted. She was gorgeous! "Hello beautiful," He greeted, bumping his muzzle gently against hers in greeting. "I'm Merlot. It's nice to meet you."
The wind brought a familiar scent down towards the stallion and confused disbelief made Merlot look up. A mare was approaching. One he knew very well. Shock rooted him to the spot for a moment before pure joy fizzed through him. "Thunder!" He couldn't help it, the excitement caused him to do a small half-rear almost as if he was a colt again, playing with Ohanzee.
Nimbus
[Mare - okay mood - lone mare - hs 4
tags/mentions: open]
Nimbus rested in a small grove of aspens, eyes half closed. The playful little filly had matured into a lovely black mare. Nimbus still loved to play, something that had irritated her mother before her death. Nimbus had been lucky to remain with Sioux until the mare's death early that winter.
She was alone but if a stallion and his mares showed up, she wouldn't hesitate to join him, seeing as how late she was in her cycle but Nimbus didn't feel the urge to search for one just yet.
Eulah
[mare - bored - lone mare - hs 2]

The paint stood in the watering hole, belly deep in the water. Her beautiful black and white coat was disguised by the coat of dust and mud she'd picked up from rolling on the shore. Head lowered to the water, Eulah was enjoying a long drink of water. Most horses enjoyed a roll now and again but they didn't often appreciate getting all dusty and dirty. Eulah didn't mind. Rolling in the mud was quite enjoyable to her. The layer of mud felt cool against her skin and even kept the biting insects from bothering her too much.
