Lies

Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again

You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

Information

{ Feral and wild horse herds are usually made up of several separate small bands who share a given territory. Bands are organized on a "harem model" in that they usually consist of one adult male and a group of females. Each band is led by a mare who is dominant in the hierarchy, called the "dominant mare," the "lead mare" or the "boss mare." The band contains additional mares, their foals, and immature horses of both sexes. There is usually a single "herd" or "lead" stallion, though occasionally a few less-dominant males may remain on the fringes of the group.

Bands are usually on the small side, as few as 3 to 35 animals. The makeup of bands shifts over time as young animals are driven out of the band they were born into and join other bands, or as young stallions challenge older males for dominance. }

{ Contrary to traditional portrayals of the herd stallion as the "ruler" of a "harem" of females, the actual leader of a wild or feral herd is the alpha or dominant mare, commonly known as the "boss mare" or "lead mare." She is usually one of the more mature animals, responsible for the overall safety of the herd, familiar with the terrain and resources available. She takes the lead when the herd travels, determines the best route, when to move from one place to another, and claims the right to drink first from watering holes and stake out the best location for grazing.


The edge of the herd is the domain of the herd stallion, who must fight off both predators and other males. When the herd travels, the stallion brings up the rear, watching for predators and driving straggling herd members on, keeping the group together. During mating season, stallions tend to act more aggressively, in order to keep the mares from straying off. However, most of the time, the stallion is fairly relaxed, spending much of his time "guarding" the herd not by herding the mares around, but by scent-marking manure piles and urination spots in order to make clear his position as herd stallion.

By living on the periphery of the herd, exposed to weather, predators, and challenges from other stallions, the herd stallion endures a somewhat vulnerable existence. He is exposed to more risks than any other herd member and can be replaced by a stronger successor at any time. Interestingly, a herd stallion will occasionally tolerate one young stallion to live at the edge of the herd, possibly as a sort of designated successor, even though the young horse will eventually gain mastery over the older stallion and claim the herd. }

Full Name:
Catalyst
Nickname:
Muse
Age:
6 Years
Gender: Stallion



Personality: Catalyst is sensitive to the needs of others. He doesn't mind helping others. But, he enjoys putting others on the offensive and watching them squirm. That is highly enjoyable for him. He learns quickly but often overlooks important details. He has mood swings, up one minute, down the next. He flirts occasionally, the females to him are just beautiful. He has a tendency of losing interest in things. He is active and full of life, never letting anything get him down. He hates conflict, tries to stay away from it as much as possible. He lives for having fun, loves good conversation. He is highly loyal to the one who reigns over him. He tries to stick to his words, and if he can't he tries to warn the other person involved. He has warm feelings almost all the time, trying to keep himself happy, though when his mood drops, he can be very dark minded.

History: Catalyst was born in a Cherokee Indian camp. His mother had been captured out of the wild, pregnant, from a still wild stallion. When his mother foaled, the chief watched over, determining the colt's future. The chief decided he'd put him in training as a war horse. When he turned two, the training began. Catalyst failed though at being a war horse, for he was skittish under the bow and arrows and spears, and he backed down from the fight. He was then put into the hunting area, but failed there too, again shying from the bow and arrows, and his attitude was poor, for he liked goofing off. The chief had given Catalyst to his oldest son as a gift for coming of age, and the young boy then decided to set Catalyst free, seeing no suitable area for the stud colt.

Catalyst kept his name as he was set free. The boy had removed his feather out of his mane and ushered him away. The painted colt was a bit confused, not sure as to what to do, but took on quickly to the ways of how a wild horse lives and strives. He had watched a herd for a while, stalking them almost, but never joined or even let them know he was there. When he moved away from them, he found himself here. However, for two more years, he remained stalking herds, watching and waiting, learning the names of notable horses, watching fights and arguments, foaling and foals grow up, breedings and the such. He is now ready to make a debut.

Username:
T O X I C { Toxic }
Full Name:
Silent Whispers
Nickname:
Whisper
Age:
4 Years
Gender:
Mare



Personality: When Whisper is around equines that she is familiar with, she is very out going, and spunky, pretty much full of her self. To that one stallion that holds her heart, she is a sweet heart around him, and likes to be cuddled and loved up. Even though she is loving, foals aren't really her style. She doesn't mind them and is hardly around them, so she's not quite sure about them, so she is a bit hesitant about what to do around them.
