[Perfect Polish]

Jazz/14/Stallion/TB Appendix/Tags: Ylva

Her accent was unusual and foreign to the stallion. She must have grown up in the mountains. Her heat scent was light but Jazz was intent on claiming her before any young colt attempted too. Her mountain blood would make strong and hearty foals. "My dame was owned by humans and gave me the name before they disappeared" he told her. "Ylva is a lovely and strong name. Fitting for a mare as yourself. Meaning wolf if I'm not mistaken" he commented, brushing his muzzle to hers, allowing her scent to mingle in his nostrils. "I am returning to the flats as my late herd did not flourish near the mountains. When winter comes the lake freezes and it gets very cold here but you coming from the mountains must know that. I wish to return to the pasture lands as the grass and water is plentiful and would allow my future family to flourish." Jazz seeing her acceptance in him reached out his muzzle to her shoulder, his upper lip running across the shedding coat, attempting to give her some relief from the winter coat through mutual grooming.

Rowena/10/Mare/QH Appaloosa/Tags; Cricket

Rowena continued to study the studs chestnut features as her dappled companion continued to bicker. Rowena could tell though Cricket was tiring as the obvious pain was spreading. Turning to the chestnut mare's question "I think he seems capable and strong for a stud. Obviously experienced in age" the leopard appaloosa murmured to her companion. Her attention was brought back as the stud moved over towards the injured mare, supporting her weight and allowing her to relax. She must have given in. The chestnut stallion, who a declared himself Neptune, turned towards her and Rose next. Rowena, whos heat was heavy, couldn't say no to such a strong study. "Who could say no" she replied walking up to him, her dark nose bumping his.

Aphrodite/14/Mare/Appaloosa Arab TB/Open

There was no greater word to describe Aphrodite except a drama queen. Her mother had named her Aphrodite because of her beautiful blanket coat, but soon her personality seemed to embody it as well. Getting dirty, getting too cold or hot, stallion fighting; the mare avoided all of that. Now that spring had come, flies emerged form their dormant state to torment her. The bay mare flicked her tail furiously, her agitation growing as a large horse fly landed on her speckled rump. Squealing frustration she darted forward, kicking out with her dark legs. Her agitation was further fueled by her deep heat which was being thrown around with her kicking and tail flicking. It was a wonder stallions weren't already swarming.

Corva/9/Mare/APH AQH/ Tags; Lucifer and Aspen

After allowing the stallion to cover her, Corva didn't expect him to waste much time before approaching the younger buckskin. She would be pregnant soon with a foal due in the next eleven to twelve months. Following her new stallion, Corva nickered a friendly greeting to the younger mare. She had a bit of a defiant side that soon showed as she refused herself to the stud until names were swapped. The paint stallion revealed his name as Lucifer and the little buckskin was Aspen. Corva realizing she was still anonymous spoke up "My name is Corva" she nickered before walking a few feet away, allowing her head to drop to the ground and graze while Lucifer claimed another member.

Liberty/4/Mare/AQH APH/ Tags: Artax

The bay stallion seemed surprised at Liberty's boldness. The bay splash giggled slightly as he snorted and curled his neck attempting to impress her. "Artax is it" she said, swishing her scent into his nostrils. Though not full yet, it was still a strong heat scent. She swished her tail and pranced slightly on her dainty hooves as he called her beautiful. "I've only lived here with my dame since I was a young foal" she told him as he began to nibble along her spine. "I've never had a stallion or foaled before" she said. Maybe this stallion wouldn't judge her for her youth. He didn't seem to mind though as his teeth nibbled at her rump suggestively. His personality was amusing as he pranced around playful. Liberty jumped slightly, playing back with him, her pale hooves prancing. Her tail swished, sending her receptive heat scent. She would allow him if he accepted.


Beauty/10/Mare/Clydesdale GV/Aurora and Open

Beauty's attention was drawn away from the stallion and the young filly in the distance by approaching sounds behind her. The giant mare turned to see a solid black mare and a chestnut. Beauty dipped her head toward the smaller black mares side and gave a friendly, returning the respect offered. This mare was obviously seasoned and experienced, maybe just slightly older than herself. She hoped her young filly would follow her example. "He is not" she replied simply. Her ears turned in the distance to the two, the young filly was extremely forward which surprised the Clydesdale mix, hopefully she would not try to defy her elder when the two hopefully joined this new herd. "My name is Beauty" she offered her name "and the young one is my filly Aurora" she gave her names. Her dark brown eyes drifted to Dynasty's companion Gracie. The sorrel was quiet but seemed eager to get to the stallion as her scent was extremely powerful. A sudden squeal from the distance jerked Beauty's head up to see the stallion. He had noticed them and was calling. Dynasty's companion seemed to not take any chances and chased forward, seemingly trying to get between the handsome stallion and the obviously maiden filly. He wasted no time in covering the two before turning to Dynasty and herself and Aurora. The stallion was obviously able to provide that much was clear but she was not going to give herself away either. Her heat was early and not strong unlike her daughters.

Aurora/3/Mare/Clydesdale GV Percheron QH/ Open

Aurora dipped her head and gave a submissive sound as the black mare approached. She was well aged and obviously her superior. Introduction where made and soon the stallion made his way over to the three. Aurora's heat was heavy. Even being inexperienced and a maiden, she knew what was needed. As the stallion grew close she nickered friendly, however he made his way over to the black mare dynasty first. She'd have to wait her turn it seemed.

The stallion, now paused in his grooming, shifted his weight to support the mare. Her leg was obviously killing her. She was a tall mare, even taller than him. But she was older and weighed less than he'd expected. Neptune watched Rowena's expression. She trusted him, likely due, at least in part, to Cricket's acceptance of him. He laugh dryly at her comment. "You'd be surprised, some mares are just too feisty to be tamed." Usually mares were drawn to Neptune, a stallion in his prime, but some were bitter and inexplicably temperamental. He returned Rowena's gentle bump of the nose, their soft and thin-furred muzzles brushing briefly. "I apologize - I didn't quite catch your name, beautiful." His mind had been too concentrated on breaking Cricket's strong shield. The Appaloosa mare would certainly enjoy being groomed as well, but Neptune didn't think it was safe to leave Cricket just yet. "Let me know when you'd like to lay down. It might feel better and you can do it safely when I'm around." He said softly the the chestnut mare, craning his neck to meet her brown eyes. He then turned his attention back to Rowena and awaited her reply.

Dru wandered over to the exhausted colt and Poppy was left to her thoughts. She observed the Cybele and Dru caring for the colt before Ebony drew her out of her thoughts. The adorable paint filly was bored of the colt now that he was asleep and no longer playing with her. Her cheerful whinny made Poppy smile. "Hello to you too, Miss Ebony." The month-old filly's ears were forward with curiosity. Poppy's ears were relaxed but forward, giving Ebony her attention. Ebony's question made her think for a moment. How long had it been? The days morphed into weeks, months, years. "I'm not sure exactly but Sunny is three, so probably about two years. We left our old herd together and are yet to find a suitable stallion. I'm sure we'll find one soon though, there are more horses around this year than ever." Poppy rarely spoke so much. She was reserved and a bit shy, worried about the judgement of other mares. However she could speak to a foal all day - they were her soft spot, like many other mares. Poppy wondered if she'd have foals of her own some day. She'd certainly like to but the stallion had to be right.

((is it safe to say Ra and Vanya are partners? lol))

Not wanting to push his new mare too far, he lead her through the valley for a few miles, they stopped here and there to graze, and finally Ra decided that he wanted to find a couple more mares and secure a slice of land as his own. Vanya was an amazing mare, she was very kind and doting. And Ra will do his best to make her comfortable at night, finding soft places to rest while she was in process of gaining weight. He hoped that someday she would be receptive to him and the possibility of foals, but before then he needed to fix his place, and help her get to a wealthy weight.

He decided to go and graze next to his new mare, "Vanya," the dun stud spoke, "Have you had any foals before meeting me?" He asked with his ears very intent on her next words.

His words seemed very thoughtful, and wise, she knew the mountains could be an aweful place for those unprepared with the knowledge needed to survive. She nodded when he mentioned the frozen waters, winter was always deadly in the mountains, and Jazz's comment on her name made her smile, "Yes it does, my mother used to say I looked like a wolf pup with all my grey coat. Throughout the years I've accepted it as almost my own personality."

Ylva flitted around him after that, grooming him in return, small bits and fluffs of her winter coat were falling from her hide, and underneath a sleek and healthy coat started to appear. Going down to the flats seemed like a great idea, and she turned to Jazz, looking to see his reaction as she slowly walked down the path. "I like the idea of the flats, and I would like to follow you as one of your mares if that's alright." She said almost without a question. Her ears perked for his response.

Tags: Cricket, Rowena, Neptune, Minerva, Mona

Not wanting to be left alone and away from a good standing herd, Rose stepped towards the chestnut stud, Neptune was good looking, and she had no problem spending time with him. She wafted her tail towards him, keeping the area around him pretty well saturated with her heat. Looking to Cricket, Rose was definitely worried, and took some moments to help her as well, to keep her feet under her if she wished.

Tags: Open

Despite leaving the area as soon as she could, Azshara could faintly smell the scent of skunk still. Since it was spring, she did not want another stallion smelling her like this, she gave a big sigh and started heading to where she knew wild tomatos grew. Her dam had taught her this trick, and it had been passed down through their family along with many other random facts about fruits and herbs. Her dam had told her that when the humans ruled the land, they would use tomatoes to dim the scent of skunk if a horse got sprayed by one. Finding the wild vines in the trees, Azshara started to pull whole groups down, enough for her to roll in.

A few hours later say the champagne mare in the lake, to wash off all of the red tomatoes she had smeared all over herself. Finally clean and shiny, she hauled herself from the clean water and shook herself on the banks. Azshara settled down for a rest in the shade of a wide elm tree.

After following her stallion closely for the better of a couple of miles, they came to rest at an area with fairly lush greenery, where Vanya didn't hesitate to begin rip it out from the ground and graze. He had been quite thoughtful, allowing her to rest and graze throughout their travels which only solidified her positive opinion of him. As Ra began to approach her and also graze, she lifted her head at the sound of her name, eyes fixed on the dun in front of her as she grinded the grass with her teeth. The mare was slightly surprised by his inquiry, she had never been asked that before. Other stallions normally care about future foals, not past ones. With her ears facing forwards she answered softly with fondness laced in her voice "I have had two. a colt and a filly." She had cared for both of them deeply and it was difficult to watch them leave to find their own future but she hoped that they were doing well and that she had prepared them adequately.

As she was leaving, she could hear the echo of the stallions call and assumed it was directed to her but she had no interested in turning around and waiting around for his attention. Instead, she shook her mane and headed towards the waterhole with a brisk trot. Before long, she reached her destination, hooves getting stroked by the small waves caused by the wind. Lowering her delicate grey head, she placed her muzzle into the waterhole and inhaled a few gulps. She could hear the sounds of other equines but gave them no mind.

Artax nickered to Liberty as she played with him. "Our foal would be beautiful if you'd join me," he said, swishing his tail and prancing around like a yearling. "I'd love to be your first stallion, Liberty," he said coming to stand near her and bumping noses. Young mares never really bothered him. They tended to be immature but so was Artax. He got on quite well with the younger mares anyway. Libery's scent drove him crazy as he snorted and tried his best to have some self-control.

Cricket did her best to remain strong in the presence of so many horses. Her leg ached and her old joints weren't enjoying having to hold her up. Neptune and the arabian mare's concern was comforting. "I think I'll lay down over here," she said, groaning as she shifted her weight and took a few limping steps forward. As gingerly as she could, Cricket lowered herself to the ground next to the small gathering. She tucked her front legs underneath her chest and watched the rest of the horses interact. The release of her weight off her legs helped significantly but her back hock still stung. "Neptune, I'd like to find water to put my leg into once you're done here," she said gesturing with her head to all of the surrounding mares.

The stocky bay mare stood underneath the wide reaching canopy of the lone oak tree. The rain was slowly beginning to fall, only sprinkling the ground. With a glance over at the mare and her newborn foal, Juniper decided she would rather find a stallion than jealously watch another mare with her foal. Despite not wanting to get wet, she set off from the cover of the oak toward a river she knew often attracted herds of horses. Knowing it would be a rather long walk, she picked up a rhythmic canter. She could scent several horses as she neared the river. Breaking into a trot and swishing her tail to release her light heat scent, she made her way toward the bank. Juniper took a couple of long gulps of the crisp water before following the faint scent of a stallion and a mare. Something about the scent attracted her as she traveled. She stopped just outside a clearing with lush grass. A stallion and his mare stood grazing and chatting. The scene was so peaceful, Juniper stood and watched, not wanting to disrupt the two.

Aleu watched as Osiris claimed another mare into the herd. The sorrel was older than Aleu but it didn't take much to be older than the mare. The gathering crowd of mares made Aleu puff her chest proudly. She had the most handsome stallion in the entire clearing. She turned to see the sorrel mare's companion coming toward them. The black mare reminded Aleu of her mother but this mare seemed more outgoing than her mother was. Aleu watched, flicking her ears as more stallions and mares began to gather around the waterhole.

He nodded at Cricket. Neptune helped support her weight as she found a good place to rest. The chestnut warmblood mix nodded again. "No problem." He would appreciate water as well - Neptune had become rather thirsty. The stallion resisted the urge to laugh aloud but instead just grinned at Cricket's straight forward attitude. The chestnut watched Rose and was pleased that she had decided to join Rowena, Cricket, Minerva and him. Rose's heat hit him strong and he realized that he had three mares deep in heat on his hands. What a coincidence. Rowena, the Appaloosa, was closer and waiting after their simple nose bump. Neptune didn't have too much time to hang around, groom Rowena, and chat but likely the mare wouldn't mind her heat being taken care of quickly. Neptune stepped closer and after another gentle bump of his nose, he began grooming her mane. He then moved to her withers, pulling out burs with his teeth. Neptune nickered softly to Rowena, ensuring she'd be alright with him covering her. He then moved farther down her barrel and reached her rump. He reached her tail and turned himself around in a solid position. After briefly nibbling the base of her tail, Neptune made sure of further consent.
- fade -
Once all four hooves were back on the ground, Neptune repeated the process in reverse. He groomed from the base of her tail, to her rump, barrel, withers. The stallion then reached her mane and untangled as much as he could. Neptune looked to Rose and nickered softly to her as well, inviting the Anglo Arabian closer.

luci smiled at apsen as she mentioned her name, he flicked an ear as the mare behind him spoke up, corva, he noted her name with a respectful nod, not wanting to seem like he ignored her, but he turned his attention back to aspen quite quickly. he flicked his tail curiously and flared his nostrils at her heat scent, with a huff, the stallion stepped forwards, arching his neck as he pulled his nose into the mares shoulder, nibbling softly and tracing her spine with soft nibbles, stopping at the base of her tail, he flicked his tail briefly and looked at her, his eyes watching her every move before fading with the mare,

ears twitching as he landed on all fours, he looked to corva then to aspen and nudged the buckskin closer to the pinto, wary that iif they grew too close one could get agro, so when they were at a neutral distance, luci stopped and stood calmly, letting the two interact for themselves.

-- if you didn't want him to fade so quickly, just ignore the last part --

luci flicked his ears at the sound of a young foal near by, he pricked his ears, and wasted no time in gathering his two mares and moving them up the hill, they'd have to meet and greet in a moment. foals meant stallions, so he needed to figure out where this foal was. as he made his way up the small hill and into a valley, he pricked his ears at a chestnut tobiano mare, he eyed her momentarily and soon found a foal beside her, newborn by the looks of things, which meant she was a fair way from her herd if she was claimed, which was perfect for him. he watched curiously and looked to his two mares, deciding to advance the mare and her filly, leave corva and aspen to sort out ranking. he walked down calmly, taking precautions, and keeping his head at a neutral height to avoid him seeming like he'd snake or disrespect her, he could tell she was an older mare, and while she would be exhausted from birthing such a fresh foal, she'd be able to keep him away if she wanted to, not for long, but for long enough, so he needed to be careful not to upset her too much, if worst came to worst, he'd just snake her, but he wanted to avoid that if he could.

as luci approached, he clacked his teeth a little, just to show some form of the slightest submissive behaviour, he knew too much submissive behaviour and she would want nothing to do with him, but nothing, and she also wouldn't want anything to do with him. very fine line with mares with foals, especially older mares. luci stopped at a respectable distance, letting the mare make the first move, for now, he spoke up gently, and warmingly, hoping to keep any nerves or worries the mare had away, despite being hard with a newborn. "hello miss, my name is lucifer, but you may call me luci"

as the stallion faded with her, a soft squeal slipped out under her breath and she lashed her tail. with a soft sigh the mare flicked an ear back as he pushed his way up right beside her, and she slightly pinned her ears as he got pushy with her, but with a soft nicker she nipped back at his chest gently, ears flicking she squealed at the dominance but with a flick of her tail spreading the strong scent, despite being covered, the smell could linger for a couple of days. it wasn't unheard of for a mare to be covered multiple times during one cycle, but gracie was one of the most fertile mares you could meet, and always fell pregnant with one covering, it was all it took. she flicked her tail and nipped at the stallion hard as he got a little too bossy, only to jump sideways away from him when he spun around, she snorted at him and looked around to see dynasty had come down, with a gentle huff, gracie looked to the roan mare curiously and nickered invitingly to her.

it was hard to get his wits back together after breeding two mares and scenting several more nearby that appear interested in him. all he can think of is those mares and how they all smelt of heat. he wants to claim each and every one of them. as he goes to dynasty and tries his luck with her, osiris gets put in his place real quick. in his haste to claim her, the stallion pushed boundaries and crossed them, earning a nip to the cheek from the crossed mare. the stud gives a harsh snort and throws his head away from her sharp nips, moving a few steps away to rub his cheek down on his foreleg. there wasn't a mark luckily, but it still stung a little. osiris snorts again and shakes his head a little before turning back to the black mare who had snapped at him. luckily, her reaction gave him a good shake and let him regain his senses enough to actually think. osiris shakes out his sooty gold pelt and moves back to dynasty's side, nickering an apology. "i'm sorry for overstepping, i guess i was overcome with so much heat scent in the air," he says to her, much more like himself now. though he can still smell her light heat, it doesn't affect him like it had before. "my name is osiris, the young paint there is aleu and i didn't actually catch the red mare's name before coming over to you," he was rather ashamed of how he had acted, not even getting the mare's name before claiming her like some wild colt unable to control his hormones. hopefully this dark mare won't be unsettled by it and still give him a chance.

after a long while standing with her new filly, the other mare that had been watching them a short ways off finally leaves them be. elysia watches as the bay mare heads off down the valley and meets up with some other horses. she wonders if the mare had been in a herd all along and was just scouting possible additions for her stallion. it wouldn't really surprise her if that was the case, she's seen much worse. such as a stallion using his younger sons to find other mares to steal or claim. elysia starts to feel uneasy while thinking back on such actions and wonders if she should take her filly elsewhere, or possibly find another mare to pair up with until she can find a suitable stallion. before she could really make up her mind, a figure appears. a dark painted horse was nearby as were two other figures that appear to be horses as well. a herd?

elysia tenses as the painted horse spots her and starts to approach, the thick neck and confident walk makes it clear that this was indeed a stallion. her filly was tottering at her side trying to finish nursing before her legs could give out like they seem to want to. with her foal still so weak and herself being quite tired, the mare was very uneasy with having a stallion approach. she wasn't strong enough to protect her filly should the stallion react poorly to her presence. most stallions don't care if a filly isn't theirs since they could breed them later in life, but some still see it as a challenge against heir own bloodline and want it gone. though this stallion may be one to leave the filly alone, it was also the spring breeding season and the filly stood in the way. without a foal to nurse, elysia would go into heat much quicker than having to wait a week for it to appear with a foal at her side. because of this, she's very suspicious of the stallion when he comes over.

the painted mare snorts harshly and sharply when lucifer gets closer, stomping a hoof in warning as her ears pin back. she eyes the stallion and remains tensed, as if preparing herself in case he decides to try an snake her away. such an action would surely end poorly with such a wobbly filly at her side, she would be unable to keep up and may even die of exhaustion if pushed. elysia doesn't want to loose her foal so soon after having her so she remains on guard. when lucifer clacks his teeth a little in submission, her ears perk up curiously. she's never had a stallion do such a thing, only young colts trying to pass by without getting kicked. she watches him closely and moved a bit to place herself between him and valkyrie, guarding her tiny foal from his prying eyes. luckily for her, and him really, he stops at a good distance and speaks without arrogance or crass, being as respectful as possible. elysia can tell he's an older stallion in his prime, aged well, but still younger than herself by a couple years. "i can't really say it's a pleasure to meet you since it's not," she remarks, perhaps a little sharper than she means to, but he was an unwelcome presence until proven otherwise. "but you can call me elysia." though she may be tired and rather weak from a hard birth, she won't hesitate to fight for her filly's life should he get any bad ideas.

the sleeping foal twitches a little when dru comes overr to groom him, but relaxes after a moment. his slumber lasts for quite a while, his full belly and exhaustion keeping him under. after walking for days, his legs were tired and sore as was the skin of his flanks and shoulder where his scratches and injuries were. luckily for him, they were small wounds and will heal quickly not that he has not just one mare, but several mares to care for him. eventually, alcaeus wakes up, but remains laying there for a few minutes until he is able to muster up the strength to lift his little body up into a sitting position. the colt was rather confused at first since he doesn't see his mother anywhere and is surrounded by strangers, but remembers all that's happened a moment later. his ears pin back briefly at the thought of his mother being gone, but at least he's safe now. he looks up to see cybele still standing above him as well as a second dark mare he hadn't seen before falling asleep. he clacks his teeth in submission to both mares and struggles to stand. it was as if he was a newborn again, though his size was quite small for a month old foal, especially a draft foal. with such long legs, he staggers and falls a few times before finally getting fully to his feet, each leg spread out until he's able to keep his balance and move. he wasn't very hungry yet, but was too fearful of the gnawing hunger pains he experienced before to let himself become even a little peckish. alcaeus hesitates for a moment before nursing from cybele again, this time much calmer and his tail even wiggles happily. it will take some time for him to fill back out and look healthy again, but at least he's no longer alone.

Cricket watched the horses mingle. With a soft sigh, she allowed herself to roll onto her side. Her weight shifted awkwardly as she laid in the soft grass but it was comforting to know she was safe. No predators would find her without having to go through her herd first. All of the mares who had come to scope out Neptune were younger than she was. At seventeen years old, Cricket wasn't much of a broodmare anymore. Sure she could live and birth foals for a few more years but the difficulty of birthing would only get harder. Cricket just hoped the last filly she had weaned wouldn't be her final foal.

Though rather unhappy about having to move so soon after being covered, Aspen moved quickly where Lucifer herded and Corva traveled along with them. Lucifer seemed to have scented something and soon Aspen did as well. A foal. As the small herd neared the mare standing in the valley with her newborn foal. Aspen watches as Lucifer makes his way toward the mare submissively. The new mare seems uninterested in Lucifer's advances and Aspen couldn't blame her. She had been pregnant once before but the foal hadn't made it. She knew the ferocity of a mother and wished Lucifer the best of luck in dealing with the paint mare. "So Corva," she said softly flicking her tail. Her hooves shuffled nervously as she attempted to strike up conversation with her new herd member. "what do you think of Lucifer?" she asked, nibbling on a few blades of grass.

Dru watches the small foal nurse contentedly on Cybele. "Where are you from, little guy?" she asks, giving his side a few sniffs. His scent didn't smell of stallion or his mother. He must've been out on his own for quite a while. Most foals wouldn't last as long without their mothers as this had. Dru's natural mothering instincts had quickly taken over when she saw the colt earlier but now she realized that Cybele was probably the best thing for him. Dru could offer no milk and that was the one thing this foal desperately needed.

Aleu pricked her ears at the sorrel mare nearby and walked over to her with a soft nicker. She couldn't help but notice the new black mare give Osiris a nip to the cheek. Although she had only just met the stallion, she had to bite her tongue to stop herself from protecting her stallion. She'd be no match against the older mare, though. Not to mention, it wasn't her fight anyway. Osiris didn't need her help and clearly, neither did the black mare. Aleu rolled her eyes at her own hastiness and made her way over to the chestnut. "Hello," she nickered. "My name is Aleu." She lowered her head to graze but kept her ears swiveling for any interesting sounds.

Ra |9 Yr Old & 16.1 hh | Mustang x Quarter Horse | Stallion
Mares: Vanya
Tags: Juniper

Ra continued to nibble on the grass after Vanya's answer, he was excited about that. Vanya said she'd had two foals, two! To the younger stud that meant that she was a good mother, one who took care of her young and raised them to adulthood. He lifted his head and smiled largely, "I am so happy to hear that, and maybe someday we can meet them again. Though the land is fierce, so that may not happen." The lighter parts of his dun coat shone in the sun, and he was finally free from his winter fluff.

He wasn't super interested in her heat right now, but it did intrigue him, would she let him know when she was ready? He had covered mares before but they were usually way deeper than Vanya, he was inexperienced with this. While he was contemplating how he would approach his new mare, Ra happened to spot a horse a ways away, turning his head to look at the new arrival he noticed that they were thick, and stockily built. He raised his nose to the air in the hopes of getting a scent before approaching them, and was pleasantly surprised that it was a mare and not another bachelor. He nickered to Vanya to let her know he would be a bit farther than normal, and headed towards the lone lass outside of the meadow. The trees dappled his coat, and he approached a bit sideways from her, not wanting to scare her off immediately.

"Hello!" He neighed, "How are you today?" The dun stallion was hopeful that he had found a new mare to add to his small family. And so was a bit more forward than he should have been.

Heat Stage: Early

His words seemed very thoughtful, and wise, she knew the mountains could be an aweful place for those unprepared with the knowledge needed to survive. She nodded when he mentioned the frozen waters, winter was always deadly in the mountains, and Jazz's comment on her name made her smile, "Yes it does, my mother used to say I looked like a wolf pup with all my grey coat. Throughout the years I've accepted it as almost my own personality."

Ylva flitted around him after that, grooming him in return, small bits and fluffs of her winter coat were falling from her hide, and underneath a sleek and healthy coat started to appear. Going down to the flats seemed like a great idea, and she turned to Jazz, looking to see his reaction as she slowly walked down the path. "I like the idea of the flats, and I would like to follow you as one of your mares if that's alright." She said almost without a question. Her ears perked for his response.

Rose | 7 Yr Old & 16.2 hh | Anglo Arabian | Neptune's Mare
Heat Stage: Full
Herd: Neptune's
Tags: Neptune, Cricket, Rowena, Minerva, Mona

Rose was debating joining in the fun with Neptune, he was a well built horse, and seemed capable of producing well built foals, and yet she didnt know if she even wanted a foal yet. Rose was definitely capable of having a foal, but she had never had one before and was nervous. She sidled up to the stud, nibbling on his shiny coat where little mats could be found. Her ears said 'absolutely not', them being held back in a mare-ish position, but her actions showed otherwise, and she presented herself to him.

"I won't wait." She flirted and swishes her tail at him, playfulness seemed to be her strong suit, and she thoroughly enjoyed frustrating studs. Rose watched Neptune over her shoulders for his reaction.

Azshara | 15 Yr Old & 14.3 hh | Quarter Horse | Lone Mare
Heat Stage: Mid
Tags: Open

Despite leaving the area as soon as she could, Azshara could faintly smell the scent of skunk still. Since it was spring, she did not want another stallion smelling her like this, she gave a big sigh and started heading to where she knew wild tomatos grew. Her dam had taught her this trick, and it had been passed down through their family along with many other random facts about fruits and herbs. Her dam had told her that when the humans ruled the land, they would use tomatoes to dim the scent of skunk if a horse got sprayed by one. Finding the wild vines in the trees, Azshara started to pull whole groups down, enough for her to roll in.

A few hours later say the champagne mare in the lake, to wash off all of the red tomatoes she had smeared all over herself. Finally clean and shiny, she hauled herself from the clean water and shook herself on the banks. Azshara settled down for a rest in the shade of a wide elm tree.
