❥ The ebony mare was one of the last to be freed from her stall, though she didn't immediately leave like the others did. She hesitated. Phe wasn't so sure that she wanted to venture out into the unknown with the others anymore. This was all she had ever known. Who knew what laid ahead for the bunch. She knew that things would be difficult from here on out, but out of the six, she was at a slight disadvantage. Her sight had been compromised, thus making it difficult to judge distances and detect threats. She only had one good eye. the other eye was no longer there. Having been removed years ago when cancer had made it's presence known. However, now, she was perfectly healthy other wise. As the ebony mare paced her opened stall, she knew that if she stayed behind, she'd be alone. Phe was not keen on being alone. It made her feel vulnerable, and she hated feeling vulnerable. Though, there was always this longing feeling she had. A curiosity of sorts, to see what laid outside of those fences she had been confined to all these years. She wondered if she'd be able to survive on her own out in the wild. After a few more minutes of dattling, the friesian mare bolted out of her stall, following suit behind the others, willing to take the chance at freedom.

The ebony mare threw her head and let out a shrill whinny as she tore out of the barn, leaving all she had ever known in her dust. Heavy hooves making thunderous thuds against the ground as she caught up to the others. However, she came to a halt at the top of a small hill over looking the barn and pastures below. Phe snorted softly and took one last look at her home. She'd miss her human that was for sure, but she needed to do this. She needed to prove to herself that she was able to survive, despite her being the weakest link of the small group. The friesian mare snorted and turned on her hooves once more, not wanting to fall too much behind as her sight wasn;t that great at night. Phe snorted as she brought up the rear, falling into place behind Emira, Zealan, and Lulu.

The group of six soon came to a stop in a meadow, miles away from the small stable in which they had come from.
Phe huffed lightly as she caught her breath, shaking her long mane as she did so. Her muscles ached slightly, not used to running this long of a distance for this long. The black mare flicked her ears around quickly, listening to the sound of various crickets, taking in the scent of the new place also. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous, had she made the right decision by following the others? She could only hope that she had.

Outlaw had paced all night long even though he'd had a busy day of working on his jumping. Tonight he'd leave.. tonight he'd never be forced to jump again. That stopped Outlaw in his tracks.. never jump again? But that's why they loved him! A loud snort came from the stallion, a cloud against the chilly night air, he'd find a new reason to be loved.. duh, he always did. Next thing he knew Rhovanion was at his stall as he made quick work of the latch. Seeing the other stallion undone his latch because he hadn't been able to work it out sent a quiver of hatred through Outlaw but he quickly bottled it and raced through the open stall door. Two or so of the mares had already been let loose and Outlaw threw his head up and bolted after them, pushing his legs as hard as he possibly could. He was close when they neared the fence and Outlaw's heart soared; one last jump to see him off. The black Hanoverian soared over the fence with ease, holding onto that feeling of flying before thudding against the other side and galloping again. Outlaw heard hooves clip the fence and managed to turn and see the culprit; Rhovanion. With a snicker the stallion turned back toward his destination; freedom. Lulu, the curly coated buckskin galloped next to Outlaw for a moment and the stallion threw his head high and whined, pulling his front hooves up as far as he could without losing his pace in a magnificent display. A quick buck came from Outlaw before they had all come a slow stop. Outlaw's chest heaved both with exhaustion and excitement - they'd made it. Lulu asked his a question and Outlaw glanced at her, flicking his tail against her rump, "Sleep. I'll handle everything in the morning."


----


The moment the slightest hint of sun warmed Outlaw's back he was up and glancing around. Lulu was there, asking if he knew any of the other horses and Outlaw's eyes fell instinctively onto Alex, the thoroughbred, "I'm familiar with Alex. She's a show-jumper like me." with a toss of his head the stallion snorted, "Not nearly as good as I, but she's okay and we've trained nearby once or twice." Moving away from Alex, Outlaw's eye caught Rhov's, "And of course, I know Rhov.. But only from our work together planning this escape." Outlaw's eyes didn't leave Rhovanion's and the two stallions had a small stare off; brilliant blue eyes locked with Outlaw's out deep brown eyes. The Hanoverian couldn't deny that Rhov was a good looking stallion but he was nothing when placed next to Outlaw's own ebon coat with white placed in all the perfect spots. Outlaw was a perfect specimen, Rhov was a close second.. maybe.

Tossing his head several times Outlaw approached Rhovanion with a sense of caution, prepared for the other stallion to lash out. Once close enough Outlaw scraped his hoof against the wild grass, tearing into the dirt, "So, I think it's obvious that I'll take all the mares from the farm with me," he said, shooting an adoring glance around at all the mares before connecting with Rhov's blue gaze again, "you'll be fine and great at finding some wild mares! Right?" Outlaw tried to butter the other stallion up, thinking quickly of an argument as to why he should keep all the mares, leaving Rhov with nothing. Maybe it was just the fact that Rhov was also a stallion but conversing with the paint made Outlaw's blood cold and he wanted desperately to bite a chunk out of his neck.

Ah, then let it begin! Rhovanion was honestly a bit surprised by Outlaw's display of dominance, and couldn't help but laugh at his overly confident statement. "Well," He snorted coldly. "You're not wrong there. I certainly would have no trouble finding more mares, unlike yourself of course. Why not take the easy way out and take these? So simple for such a simple mind." Rhov raise a hoof and stomped, as if threatening to strike out. Did he really think he had any possibility of finding more mares in this new world? HA no, not really --at least not immediately. His heart was pounding at the thought of moving Outlaw. He wasn't afraid of the brute, but he still needed time to size him up. He'd talk for a moment longer.

"Yet, who is to say you can take care of six beautiful mares, let alone yourself out here?" Rhovanion tilted his head slightly. "After all, who save them? Who saved YOU?" He smirked and swung his head as he moved forward toward Outlaw. Rhov had never really been around many other stallions, but he did know how herd dynamics worked: there was no room for both of them. The group of escapees would have to split and Rhov was going to have his pick of mares. Perhaps the herd could split in half and if the brute didn't like it... he'd just take all of them. As the tension continued, Rhov decided that he was ready to fight if need be. Outlaw was a bit larger than him, but Rhov would apply his intelligence --it hadn't failed him before. Rhovanion, ears pinned, nipped towards Outlaw's face.

"Here is how it will be, Outlaw... " Rhovanion's voice dropped as he eyed the black stallion. "I'll have my pick of these mares that I freed. I'll be kind and split the herd in half. How many mares will we each get? Can you count?" Rhov added a slight taunting laugh to his last words. Dressage had taught Rhov rhythm, and with it, human numbers as his rider often counted out loud to help regulate their movements. He had no trouble figuring it out. "Just in case, that is three mares for each of us. Now, will this do or shall we make things... difficult?" Rhov circled away from Outlaw so that they weren't as close. As he waited for a response, his eyes drifted to the mares peacefully grazing. An intense feeling of protectiveness overwhelmed him and when his eyes traveled back to Outlaw, he only saw an enemy. Should Outlaw answer incorrectly, Rhovanion was ready to act.

Name: Lila II Location: Escaping II Mood: Excited and Nervous II Tags: All

As Rhov unlatched the stable door, Lila felt a sudden jolt of nervousness. Why should I leave my owners.. they love me, and they've been so kind to me! But as the rest of the horses started galloping towards the fence, she knew she had to make a quick decision. She trotted out of the stall door and began to gallop, quickly catching up to Phe. Lila didn't know why, but whenever she was with Phe, she felt a sense of calmness. Phe had been so nice to her, fostering Lila as if she were her own foal. As they came towards the fence, Lila suddenly realised that she was going to have to jump the fence. "Phe, I can't jump the fence.. I'm not like you.. I'm a draught horse, I can't jump!" Squealed Lila. But Phe was only focused on getting herself over the fence, and if Lila were to escape, she'd have to jump it. Lila had never jumped over anything more than a trotting pole, let alone a 1 metre fence! Suddenly, Lila remembered her advantage; she was a tall foal, and she was young. It was possible for her to make it over the fence. But she had to give it her all. As she neared the fence, she took a massive leap, then she shut her eyes tight. She felt her back feet collide with the fence, and she suddenly realised she needed to lift them up a tiny bit more. She strained her rump muscles, and heaved. As she felt the ground underneath her feet, she tripped. She was heaving with exhaustion after the jump, but to escape successfully, she needed to keep running. She pulled herself up, and she saw Phe (who had already galloped quite far away) staring down at her, concerned. Lila then felt a surge of power, and and urge to please. She galloped up the hill, and she saw Phe smiling, then Phe turned around to gallop with the others. Lila suddenly felt incredibly accomplished as she powered behind the other horses. As the horses began to settle down and began to slowly drift into sleeping mode, Lila felt relieved. She'd made it over the fence, she was proud of herself.


As Lila woke, she heard a commotion amongst the stallions and the other horses. She decided that rather than stand and listen to them, she would wander off and explore. She trotted off, inspecting the grass and feeling relieved about how she was free! She felt a sudden jolt of guiltiness, for leaving her humans. But she loved it out here, it was calm and peaceful, and the grass swayed along in the breeze as though it was dancing. She was never going back, and she began to feel excited for what lay ahead of her. She found a dusty patch to roll in, and felt the warm sun on her back as she flipped, tossed and turned in the pool of dust. "Ahh, THIS is the good life..".

Lulu woke up to the sunrise, not humans. The sun was warm on her back as everything came rushing back to her, her sore muscles, unused to riding for so long, so quickly. She pranced a little bit in place, and took in her surroundings. The other mares were new to her. She didn't know them that well. Then she turns around and sees Outlaw and Rhovanion, suddenly there is tension in the air as the two of them stare at each other. What is going on? Then it clicked. They were debating about herds, there couldn't be two lead stallions. There can only be one and they were fighting to get the mares. She would, naturally, side with Outlaw, she knew him the most out of all the horses there. Not to mention that she didn't like Rhovanion's attitude, she didn't like the way he acted and she felt that he wouldn't be a good leader for her.

Outlaw felt his blood begin to bubble as Rhov insulted him and his ears flew to the back of his head, pinned. He felt the earth vibrate lightly under Rhov's heavy hoof and the black stallion let out a threatening snort, tossing his head in irritation.

"Who saved YOU?" the words came quickly and Outlaw's head swung upwards as he pulled his face back in disbelief, his neck forming a beautiful, sleek half 'u'. The Hanoverian's tail swished behind him as he deliberated what to do, what to say. Rhov and he both knew that only one stallion could be in one herd.. heart racing, Outlaw kept his mouth shut. His head had lowered when Rhov nipped toward his face but Outlaw didn't move a muscle, a flinch would convey weakness.. If he wanted to fight Outlaw had no doubts that Rhov would start it with more then a mere nibble.

"Of course I can count!" could he actually count? No, of course not. Rhovanion was trained in dressage.. Outlaw could jump. He knew distances and timing not pretty foot movements or something as silly as counting. What was counting?

When Rhov came up with his conclusion Outlaw was shocked. An even split. Outlaw eyed Rhov, knowing very well that the stallion was dangerous but Outlaw wasn't exactly the smartest horse here. Sooner or later things were going to get difficult, they may as well be easy for as long it would last.

Outlaw snorted, "I suppose that works. I want Lulu, Phe, and Lila." The stallions gaze passed over each mare who's name he had spoken and he felt content in that decision. Three beautiful mares to follow a beautiful stallion. "They'll all eventually find there way to me, so you can take them for now." Outlaw snickered lightly, fully believing that he would and could eventually steal the mares that left today with Rhov.

"Anything else? Or can we finally get away from you?" Outlaw snorted, digging lightly at the ground under him with one hoof. He itched to be free of this pest of a stallion.

❥ Phe perked up when she heard her name called, eyes falling on the haughty black hanovarian. she laid her ears back a bit when she learned that he had claimed her for his herd. The ebony mare snorted softly, but remained quiet as she usually did. She shook her mane, making her long, curly forelock fall over to her left side, covering her bad eye. She was very self conscious about it, and didn't like a lot of attention brought to it, therefore she kept it covered most of the time. The friesian mare snorted softly again, only this time, moving a little bit further from the group. there was too much going on for Phe's liking so she figured she'd go graze while the boys hashed it out. Th ebony mare lowered her head and pulled gently at the lush green grass beneath her hooves as the warm sun warmed her dark pelt. She couldn't help but think about her human. the look on her face when she arrived at the barn, only to find that Phe was gone. no where to be found. She knew her heart would be broken. A pang of guilt washed over Pheonix as she continued to graze. Ws she having second thoughts about leaving? The mare lifted her head, looking back in the direction towards home. There was still time. she could return o the small stable if she truly wanted to... but there was also a part of her that wanted to explore. See the world while she had a chance to do so. She may as well take it.

she overheard the two stallions how they were going to split the heard, she didn't mind who she went with or who she was with. she hadn't really managed to talk to every mare so hasn't really grown a bond to them yet. the young mare walked around the five other mares as they rambled on. but, she heard who she was going with and so she looked at the stallion that she had. he was rather a handsome chap, she wouldn't mind having his foals she thought they would be rather cute and maybe one day they will find their own herd. the mare dipped her head to the ground and started to graze on a patch of grass as the sun shone down on her back starting make her feel hot. she snorted, before lifting her head and having a quick shake. emira looked around seeing they still weren't really moving so she, scrapped at the ground with her hoof before collapsing her legs then put her weight on one side to have a roll. she manged to do a full roll, before getting back up using her front legs to push herself up and until her back legs were up. the horse then circled the herd again waiting to move as she wanted to go find a water source as she was feeling thirsty also she was feeling hot under this sun. she looked towards the trees where it would be shaded, so she trotted over to the trees and just stood under there until they make their decision to move.
