next time, write the action you want replied to (for example, "khaki patrols") below the story, please.

the herd of the starry night is quite mysterious. these horses keep to themselves and don't like to mix with the other herds at gatherings. but when these horses are alone with their herd, they can all be themselves. the horses of this herd are all very loyal and honest horses who value kindness. they are very strict on respect and it is quite rare for them to start fights with other herds. the herd of the starry night lives at the top of a mountain with a lake and a forest nearby. this herd's main skills are endurance and agility. they are very resistant to cold weather. most horses rely on their brain and like to outwit the enemy instead of fighting them to death. this herd is full of colors and sizes and no horse is left out for their looks. they are known as a herd that prefers to stay out of fights but will stand up for their allies. the herd of the starry night is very close to the herd of the night sky and has a strong belief in them. this herd also has some strict traditions. for a weanling to become a guard or a scout, they need to survive on their own for three days. one in the mountains, one at the forest and one at the lake. on the night of the third day, they will put their nose to the water of the lake and the herd of the night sky will tell them what they did right and what they did wrong. if a weanling is in danger, the herd will send out some guards to help them. if a weanling fails, they must train until their mentor finds them ready to try again. this is sometimes very dangerous as a few mountain lions roam on the south side of the mountains and a pack of wolves lives in the forest.

the herd of the starry night has been founded!

Herd of Velvet Grass

Floyed trots around the mountain range quietly. He keeps his head high and eyes watching for anything. He isn't sure what he is looking for, but keeps moving theough the light snow anyways. He liked the silence, but needed more members in his new herd. It wouldn't get on well without more horses...

Firefly Herd

Territory
Firefly Herd territory is a meadow among rolling hills. Wildflowers grow in abundance here, as do a variety of trees for shelter.

Their Northern border is a dense forest with pine needles that lay so thick that grass doesn't grow, so they haven't ventured through.

To the West lie mountains that make for rough passage, and are home to a number of wild goats which feel at home on their craggy foothold.

In the East the meadows and hills continue onward for a good distance, but the herd has never needed more land than it currently occupies, and more would be impractical to defend.

Along their Southern border is a river that they can easily safe through, but it is a little deep and may prove challenging for foals or elders.

Reputation
One of the kindest herds in the area is Firefly Herd. They make peaceful gestures upon meeting others and gladly accept alliances when offered.

Overall, they are a herd that doesn't like to get their hooves dirty meddling around in politics. They'd much rather literally be getting their hooves dirty racing around to keep in shape, or playing games of agility with fallen logs and strategically chosen trees.

Personalities
Each horse is an individual, but in Firefly Herd they all tend to be very intelligent, which is one of the things that sets them apart. Their guards trust the groups of scouts that patrol the territory, and their first priority is always to protect the herd from any attack.

These horses have energy to spare, and they're wild when it finally comes time to fight. They are known for biting and kicking, so wranglers and raiders are not safe from either end. Firefly Herd will pay any price in battle to ensure that none of them are enslaved by their rivals.

In times of peace they are calm and docile. In fact, they are very curious about other herds and welcoming toward strangers.

Appearance
The horses of the Firefly Herd tend to have legs and manes that are darker than their bodies. A dorsal stripe is the most common marking, and the most common markings are dun, grullo/grulla, buckskin, or dappled grey. Occasionally a blanket appaloosa will be seen. Other markings that tend to occur are blazes and socks or stockings but pinto and tobiano do not occur, nor do solid coloured horses.

Many of them have a roman nose. They may have any build ranging from lean and lanky through draft horse, but they never have a 'dished face'. Rare but beautiful variations include shorter manes, shorter tails, or hoof feathers.

aloevera. wrote:The Herd of Shamrock Fields is a highly exotic herd for wild horses. They live in a deep mountain valley filled with grasses of all kinds and of course, shamrocks. The horses of Shamrock Fields keep their head high and put themselves on top, but are a bit snobby and difficult to put up with. The horses of Shamrock Fields consist of Marwaris, Mustangs, Connemaras, and Tennessee Walkers.

The mustang stallion galloped across the plain, plunging through the river as he headed to the east of his territory. He slid to a stop as he reached the patch of trees, taking comfort in the shade while the sun was strong and high. He stayes there for an hour or two before deciding to climb up one of the smaller mountains in order to patrol is border. He didn't want any unwelcome horses going in and out of his herd territory as they pleased. He needed to keep control over his land so he needed to watch his borders.

Thunder was glad he had found Sunny. He had been infatuated with the beautiful chestnut the moment he found her on his herd territory. Sunny had willingly went with him, and she had the qualities of a good guard, thus her role. Thunder didn't let Sunny get into his head too much, and decided to go on a patrol with her to know her better.

Thunder and Sunny go on patrol.

Herd of Velvet Grass
Number of Horses: 2

Floyed almost couldn’t believe it when he found another horse while on patrol! He was excited, but could only keep this excitment inside himself. When he found Tovar, he brought him to the camp to show him around. Tovar seemed hyper and excited to be in the herd, eyes wide under his blanket of hair and moving quicker than Floyed to see everything. It was like a child on Christmas. As soon as Tovar came to the scout’s area, Floyed explained that was where he would spend most of his camp time if he wasn’t in the pasture. Almost seconds after this explanation, Tovar proposed they bith do a patrol together! Floyed didn’t know what to say, this was the first time he heard Tovar speak more than his name, but he accepted.

Navajo, of course, was furious that his first member was another stallion. He couldn't.. wouldn't.. do anything, however, he knew how desperately his herd needed horses - stallions or not. Ahiga seemed to be submissive enough to know better then to challenge Navajo which calmed the leader a touch. This morning, the two went on patrol together - eager to find new horses out there.

Khaki trotted side-by-side with Zahara, exchanging stories. They stopped at the edge of their grounds, and Khaki nuzzled the mare. "I love you Zahara. I want you to be with me forever."
He sighed. Zahara nuzzled him, and said yes to his unspoken question. Later on, Khaki went out, looming to see if any other mares were to join him. Zahara did the same, walking just past the edge of their land.

the small pony climbed up the the steep mountain towering his new territory. stars gleamed in the sky, welcoming his arrival. everest wasn't the best fighter nor the best leader, but he was willing to give his new herd a try. really, his only pro was his endurance, a valuable asset in the mountains. the stars overhead cheered him on, patiently waiting for the pony to reach the top of the giant mountain. when he did, he knew it was all worth it. stars and constellations were all he could see, other than the rough surface of the mountain. a detail suddenly hit him. he couldn't start a herd without giving it a name! the pony looked left and right, looking for something to inspire him. the stars were the ones helding his answer. the herd of the starry night. quite a pretty name in fact. satisfied with his new camp and herd, everest lowered himself to the ground and fell asleep, promising himself that he'll go looking for members the next morning.

TReese walked around the borders of the territory, showing Cherokee around. "Your duty, Cherokee, is to protect this herd and our land. You shall defend us no matter what, even if it costs you your life." Reese told the younger stallion, who was listening to his every word. "Yes sir." Was the young stallion's response, eager to get to work. "For now you will be patrolling our territory, but later once this herd grows you shall be serving as protection for the herd members as well as a keen eye for scouts patrolling. You will learn our customs slowly and I have no doubt that you will do your job well," Reese explained, "For now you can continue patrolling the territory watch for any horses that seem hostile or any predators. If there are any horses that are willing to join, bring them to me." With those words Reese left Cherokee to continue with the border.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Cherokee trotted along the border of his new home. He was excited about work and wanted to make sure that he wouldn't let Reese down. He kept his eyes open and held confidence in his stride, he may have been young but his father had taught him how to defend himself. He tripped a couple of times, not used to the crumbling mountain border and was glad when he saw that there was a descending slope up ahead. He slowed to a walk, looking down into the valley and taking a deep breath. This would be his new home, and he would do whatever it takes to protect it.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Reese cantered down the mountain into the centre of his herd territory. He trotted towards the river, taking a drink from the luckily plentiful water source. He then looked to the sky before cantering off only the slightest bit outside of his territory. He was in search for some new members, and wanted to find some fast.

The Freedom Seekers

The Freedom Seekers are horses that live out in the country on the top of a valley where a river lies on the bottom. They speak to their Ancients through the Moon Cave, near the river is a small cave with multiple glistening puddles, if a horse laps up the water they will have dreams of the Ancients talking to them. The Freedom Seekers are very loyal and trustworthy horses who would never let their allies down.. the only bad thing about them is they can be very paranoid and it takes a while to fully earn their trust, so newcomers will receive a warm welcome from them, but won’t be trusted for about a moon or so. Their predators consist of coyotes, two-legs, and large dogs that escape from the Twolegplace cabins far off from the river. Their fur colors are mostly brown, tan, white, or spotted.

Firefly Herd
Number of Horses: 1

In the gently rolling hills of a meadow, a dun stallion has been grazing lazily for most of the morning. He has explored the rise and fall of the land and knows it as his own. Eventually he wanders toward the northern border, walking along the edge of an evergreen forest thick with trees.

He doesn't venture within its depths but simply explores the perimeter of this natural boundary, alert for signs of other horses - especially mares. He is a stallion in every sense of the word, raring to start his own herd and get to raising foals. For a moment he is able to free his mind from distraction and realizes that a deputy would probably help him more right now, being the foundation for herd life and all of that.

Straining his eyes, he scans the pine forest for the sight of another horse and thinks he sees a dappled coat in the distance, but it could just be a trick of light and shadows. He sends a silent prayer to the ancestors and ventures forth.
