the snowy river, new south whales and victoria australia, 1965. at 352 kilometres, wild brumby herds spanned across the whole length all the way to the beaches, some travel a lot further north into the snowy mountains, brumbies travel up to 50 kilometres a day, so can easily travel the length of the river in a week, with horses moving all the time, even those who prefer to stay down near the ocean, will quite often come across those who are further in land and have come down. depending on the season depends on how far they travel, during the warmer months, they travel further, looking for water and food, and will quite often travel the length of the river a dozen times over summer, sometimes more. during winter, brumbies will travel the same distance but over a longer period, about a week and a half to two weeks it will take them to travel the same distance during summer, and finding food is a lot harder so they may travel outside their usual summer paths. now, every second year during spring and summer, a round up holds place, where men from everywhere, get on their stock horses and round up the herds, breaking most of them in, auctioning some off, releasing the excess or... disposing of them.

~ rules ~

I. follow all chicken smoothie rules
II. fade when needed
III. no character limit as long as you can play them all (stallions slots may become be limited)
IV. keep fights fair, and discuss the outcome with the other user, through discussion thread preferred so everyone else knows whats about to happen
V. experience does matter when it comes to age, however, the horses breed also comes into affect if they are crossed with something
VI. horses will begin to weaken by 18
VII. mares remain fertile till death, they can give birth at 27 however the chance of survival becomes incredibly low for them, meaning if they pass, so does the foal
VIII. i do expect at least a paragraph per horse, however writers block is understandable, if you don't muse, you don't have to post for all your characters
IX. i'll allow three sets of twins each spring, let me know to reserve the slot
X. brumbies only, they may crossed with something but they must be at least 50% brumby. they can be crossed with anything, we aren't following real life 1900's where certain breeds may not be in australia yet. please add rough breed percentages, (dose not need to be perfect, long as it adds up to 100) you'll see what i mean in my characters forms, must be minimum 50% brumby. foals born in the roleplay from other peoples stallions will most likely have that percentage dropped off. but foals starting in the roleplay (including unborn ones, mares who are pregnant starting in the roleplay, ) must be half brumby
XI. if inactive for over a week, you'll receive a pm
XII. must ask that you disable your signatures on this thread

discussion thread

Also... as a general... you can not have your own mare, travel or belong, to your stallion. Ever.
And only other male horses allowed apart from the 8 main stallions, must be no older than a week or two.

✘ summer ✘

in summer, days grow long and hot. nights are short, but offer a few hours of comfortable temperatures. many horses migrate toward water sources or shade, seeking to hide from the afternoon sun. mares are still in heat, though by this point all foals from the previous year will have already been born. stallion are still on the search for more mares, while lead mares move the herd to a cooler location. despite the heat, summer is an active season. young stallions show off, yearling mares get whisked away, and band stallions are daring enough to attempt stealing a mare or two. rain is not common in summer, and if it does it is often a warm, heavy rain that lasts only a couple hours at most.

✘ autumn ✘

with autumn comes the return of cooler temperatures. nights and mornings are chilly, hinting at the freezing months to follow. rain becomes more common, and the colors of the land begin to fade. turning from dark green to vibrant oranges and reds, until the earth is taken over by a dull gray. mares are rarely in heat during autumn, but those covered in spring may start to foal. should this happen, there is a slim chance that said mares may go into heat for the remaining weeks of autumn, but may not always accept a stallion.

✘ winter ✘

winter. snow coats the parts of ground, parts of the earth is blanketed in a glistening white, and temperatures drop. foals can be born throughout the winter months, however not all will survive the freezing the temperatures. mares are never in heat, and stallions are calm, instead fighting against predators whom may use the horses's weakened state to attack. food must be dug out from under the snow, and thin layers of ice may have to broken to reach water.

✔ spring ✔

spring, the season of new life. temperatures rise to a comfortable level, snow melts away, revealing new growth, and animals come out of hiding. in spring, mares are beginning to go back into heat, and some late foals may even be born. new herds are forming, old ones expanding, while yearlings venture away from home to find their own place in the wilderness. rain is common, and clouds always dot the sky.
