Realistic Horses (Realistic horse herds)

[whatup92]

Elianna was alone, and frankly, she didn't like it. Safety was in numbers, not in being that lone ranger. Now, she had never been the skittish sort, but this constant looking out for herself was wearing the usually vibrant mare down. Her mane and tail, usually a vibrant shade of near ruby, were dull and matted; twisted with sticks and other various debris. It had been some time, nearly ten moons, since she had been in the company of another horse and frankly it had taken its toll. Now as she entered this new province, her ears perked forward for the first time in days. Her stiff walk ascended into an equally jaunty trot but she was determined now to move forward - there were horses here!! As they came into view, dust, sweat and some other bodily fluids escaped her nostrils as she exhaled loudly. Ah finally she had found some company! With a joyous whinny she greeted them all from afar, but she was cautious not to be overbearing. Instead she waited at their outskirts, mindlessly picking at the grass while she waited for one to approach her.

[Day Of Silence]

As Noors herd moved to a new grazing area he took the chance to trot a little ways away from his herd and tried to increase his herd. He spotted a chestnut mare and approached her while keeping his ears back to listen for any stallions who might steal one of his mares. he bobbed his head at the mare then started snaking her towards his herd.

Another excited whinny escaped her as the palomino stallion approached. She was seven, she knew the drill by now. She returned the bob of his head, and offered her nostrils. But he didn't seem to reciprocate her friendly gesture - he was already herding her towards his harem. With an indignant snort she complies. She didn't like that he had not offered his nostrils to let her get a feel for him, but, he had numbers - he was safety. Flicking her own ears back she begins to head towards his herd. But her muscles are sore and she moves slowly...maybe too slowly for his liking. As he snakes around her, she stays aware of his every movement and at the times when he moves too close (since, frankly, he had not introduced himself to her standard) she snakes her own head out, her yellowed teeth clenched to meet him. She wouldn't bite him just yet, oh no, but she would threaten it. By the heavens she would threaten it. She's nearer to the herd now and as she approaches she seems to forget the stallion, instead, lowering her head and offering her muzzle to the other mares - a subservient gesture of friendship.

Getting across the river Thunder shook himself adn went over to the mare. He approched slowly, stretching out his neck, and offering his velvet nose to her. His ears were facing forward but they were not rammed straight forward, no they were slightly relaxed, giving him the appearence of being at ease. He waited for the mares move hoping she would come with him.

She Shook her main once more and then stretched her neck out and nuzzled her nose agents his softly. She had one ear up as the other one was tilted, more in wounder as she nuzzled his soft nose.

Thunder gently nuzzled the mare back and took a few steps closer.He moved his head and started to gently groom the mare's shoulder. For a stallion he was not pushy or extremely bossy towards mares. This gave him a slight advantage when it came to snaking mares.

She leaned closer to him and let her neck lay agents his. She was calm and steady as he groomed her. She had relaxed a great deal and her tail swayed gently side to side as she stood by him

[ET4252]

Thunder suddenly raised his head, his ears swivled forward to pin point what he had heard. It was the sound of hoof beats, belonging to only a single horse. Looking back at the mare that he had been grooming Thunder gently groomed her neck a little more. Then he took a few steps to the side gently nuzzling the mares side. He wanted to see who's hoof beats those were but he did not want to leave this mare alone. So he had decided to try and get her to follow.

She snorted as he nuzzled her side but it didn't take much to get her to follow him, she didn't feel like being pushed around and just working with him was easier, she could also hear the hoof beats and her ears tilted and turn to try to find witch direction they came from

Rakken

Rakken watched Noor snake the mare towards the stallion's herd, wishing he could've been faster in seeing the mare and claiming her. At least he had this one mare that he could start with. Rakken turned his attention back to his one and only mare, Euphoria. He rubbed his muzzle on the mare's back while also nibbling her. Rakken lifted his head to check the area for predators and to double check, he lifted his nose as high as possibble and sniffed the air a few times. So far, so good.

((When is breeding season for the horses? Or do we get to breed them whenever we like? Thanks! ))

Dream watched the mare Noor was snaking towards the herd for a few seconds then shook her mane and layed down for a nap.
