[ P L O T ]

Mustangs have roamed our hills in America since way before settlers came. They are the beauty of the plains, the speed of the wind, the strength of the mountain. But civilization has changed. Where there were wagon trails, there are roads. Cabins in the woods became huge cities with towering skyscrapers. Pollution levels sky-rocketed. And yet humans could not see all the damage they were doing. Don't the mustangs have a right to be? So an endangered animal conservation group got together and created Project Mustang Restoration. They pooled money, along with donations and profits from bake sales and such. With all the money they raised, the group bought a huge plot of land no one wanted. It was too hilly - no suitable land for housing. The ground wasn't suitable for crops, either. The mountains and hillsides on the property were rocky and nearly impossible for humans to climb. Not to mention, plenty of abandoned barns and gardening shacks remained on the property from long ago. It was perfect for mustangs. Next, they spread their idea all over TV, radio, the internet, a blog, social media platforms. Anyone who had a horse to donate to the cause was welcome. Sick or healthy, young or old, purebred or crossbred. Any horse was accepted. Many were horses from horse rescues that hadn't found new homes yet. Others were retired racehorses. Some were amazing horses that simply didn't have a good attitude. Horses were dropped off daily, until the end of the program. They were kept in five huge abandoned barns on the property - separated by gender for now. They had hundreds of horses. The groups gathered volunteers. A sturdy electric fence, ten feet high was built around the property. The fourth step is about to happen. The stable doors will be opened, and you. A horse, abandoned here by your owners, or donated. Whatever your past, your breed, your age, we're all in this together. We will be free. Free for a long, long time until our population rises.
Really, its up to us, though. We decide what to do.
We decide if our population will dwindle and burn out like a candle.. Or spread like a wildfire.
Who knows? Will we become extinct?

Or will we be restored?

Show Name Ruler Of Mt.Olympus
Name Zeus
Gender Stallion
Age 14 years
Breed Shire horse
Height 17.2 hands high
Personality Zeus prefers to cut to the chase, without any funny business. Sass, backtalk or silliness won't be tolerated. Zeus knows how powerful of a horse he is, and takes advantage of that. Protective, he'll guard his mares until the end. At first, he seems rude, cold, and blunt, but he really tries to keep everyone safe and secure. He doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. He thinks good of himself, and that's what counts.
History Zeus grew up on a farm. He was taught to be a work horse - to pull the till. He clopped along in the fields or pulled a carriage for the American History Tours that happened around his area. Zeus was taught to work, work,
work. And he liked to work. One of the people who went on the American History Tour loved Zeus so much, they bought him. However, they didn't know much about horses and Zeus wasn't getting proper treatment. A local vet purchased him and helped him make his recovery. Zeus was used at a stables until the Mustang Restoration Project was announced. The stables believed deeply in that cause, and were quick to donate some horses, including Zeus.

Show Name Mourning Dove From Heaven
Name Luminos
Gender Mare
Age 8 years
Breed American Paint Horse
Height 16 hands
Personality Serene and peaceful, Luminos is a mare who is quiet and pleasing, but not in a push-over, ignored kind of way. She is kind and sweet, with a gentle heart and a friendly, positive spirit. Sometimes she's a little irrational because she really likes attention. Luminos has a bit of a temper, so she gets frustrated easily.
History Luminos was born on a dude ranch in Nevada, her mother was a tour guide horse and her father was one of the owner's trick horses used in rodeos. Luminos was trained as a trick horse and she quickly grew famous due to her good natured attitude. However, an accident with a dog spooking the mare, and Luminos had sustained a fairly serious injury to her back right knee. She could walk and do other activities fairly normally, but she couldn't be ridden again. The mare was just a pasture horse from then on, and the humans would lunge her sometimes. They kept her around even though she couldn't be ridden because they loved the mare so much. Then the Mustang Restoration Project had been announced. While they were sad to say goodbye, they couldn't profit anymore from Luminos and they decided she'd be happier if she was free and helping the Mustang population rise.

Show Name Forget Me Not
Name Blitz
Gender Lone Mare
Age 10 years
Breed Belgian Warmblood
Height 17 hands
Personality Blitz is at first rude and holds herself high. She will make a stallion work to own her, but is loyal and caring once she is warmed up to you. Blitz loves little foals and hopes to have some of her own. She's flirty but hard on herself sometimes because she knows that she can do better. Loving and high-spirited, she's a charming mare who will steal a stallion's heart.
History Born at a horse breeder's farm, Blitz was sold as a filly to a young girl. The girl trained Blitz with the help of her parents on their family farm. Blitz grew up with the girl and she began entering show jumping. Due to her breed, Blitz was already a good jumper. But her drive to win pushed her to whatever limits her physical ability wasn't capable of. She flew through the ranks, a shining star of Belgian Warmblood jumpers. Blitz was sold again to a man who owned and competed jumpers. He had offered the family a price they could not resist. However, the mare was distraught and panicked. No one could get near her. The
man took pity on her and asked the family if they wanted her back. The family agreed. She lived there entering competitions and such for a few more years. When the Mustang Restoration Project was announced, the family wasn't willing to send their beloved Blitz off. But the brother of the family's father had different plans. He was envious of Blitz, so he drove to the family's stables and hauled Blitz off to the barns. The family could do nothing and the uncle flew out of the US quickly after.

Can I reserve a stallion and a mate?

@frosted ink,
You don't have to reserve them. c: There are unlimited spots available. Just reserve three posts; one for your stallions, then mares, and then foals.
