Equid Name: Ardente - 'burning fire' in Latin.
Equid Age: 4
Height: 12.2hh
Gender: Female
SHORT personality: Ardente is akin to wildfire - agressive and introvertial, Ardente's usually sullen and quiet demeanor scares away most equids: she flattens her ears quite unconsciously most of the time. She is also often compared to a block of ice; inflexible, icy, and uncaring. However that ice melts whenever she is near close friends; she is thoughtful, caring and empathetic, offering a listening ear to any of her friends' troubles and woes. Sometimes her rebellious side acts up, and she often ends up hurting an equid both emotionally and, very rarely, physically because of her spirit and impulsiveness. She is actually a softie at heart, feeling dreadful if she causes injuries, but it is her expressionless face that allows others to think that she is somewhat of a sadist. Ardente isn't one for mushy things too, often feeling quite uncomfortable if forced to say her true feelings out loud. Sometimes she is compared to a princess who is neither spoilt nor kind.
How was she domesticated (Short story):
I was running without direction, letting nature - and my survival instincts - overtake my heart and soul. My mind was blank except for one glaring word: Danger. All I knew that several large adult humans brandishing gleaming, sharp blades of silver had barged into a once-peaceful clearing where I had been grazing at. They had ropes in their calloused hands and one of them had whooped loudly, before all of them came charging like uncivilized mountain goats toward me. Thank my lucky stars for my wild side; without a second thought I had bolted away. One of them had thrown a silver blade towards me with terrifying accuracy; now I flinched at the slightest whistle of wind.

Run, little one, run, whispered a great yew to me, reaching out a branch to stroke me as I dashed past wildly. I nickered in gratitude, embracing that gentle caress that filled me with everlasting strength. Thank you, Mother Yew, I said silently, slowing down for a moment. Suddenly, the loud rhythm of hooves reached my flicking ears, accompanied with shouts of excitement and exuberant whinnies. The Hunt had come to claim me; shock froze me for a moment when I realized the humans were mounted on strong horses that were surely twice as big as me and thrice as fast. I snapped out of the despair when the crunching of hooves on twigs and leaves neared me. I had to run, had to survive. I might not outrun them, but I could hide from them.

The cracking of snapping twigs caught my attention; despaired, I realized that I was too late. A horse, so much bigger and muscular than I, pranced about nervously in front of me. I cursed myself for wasting time deliberating; now I would be killed like a meat rabbit. The horse's coat glowed a sleek mahogany brown and his mane and tail shone ebony; the male human astride him looked rather young, with eager blue eyes and windswept, straw-gold hair. "So you're one of those mountain horses Father was rambling about," he grinned. As I tried to understand his words with much difficulty, I was half-aware that the other hoofbeats had died away, danger along with them. My attention snapped back to the human, and I bared my teeth in an automatic reflex, legs tensed to strike out at any moment. The horse cast a fierce glare in my direction, and I saw that his muscles were taut; he was ready to lash out too, and I swallowed back the doubt that I would be fighting a losing battle.

The Wild Mountain Equid stood in front of me, eyes wide with fear and wariness. I could feel Flare's tensed muscles in his neck, and I focused on calming down; but the equid was such a sight to behold! Snow-white with several silver stripes on her neck, I was awestruck at this legendary creature in front of me. Trying not to flinch at her bared teeth, I gingerly stretched my hand out. "Hello there. Don't worry, I won't hurt you." As I stared into those eyes filled with suspicion and fear, I felt an urge to melt those feelings, to befriend this equid of so many harsh emotions. Then, as she ever so cautiously pressed her warm muzzle into my palm, I felt the rush of friendship, trust and a never-dying fire flood into me, feelings that mingled with my shocked mind and that clashed with my heart. As I stood there, overwhelmed by the influx of strong emotions, the faintest whisper of the wind told me her name: Ardente, the burning fire of the mountains.

Equid Name:Phoenix, Nyx
Equid Age: 3 years
Height: 12.2hh
Gender: Female
SHORT personality Nyx is a WME that is a one person kind of gal even though she is great with kids she will always return to the one that found a way into her heart. She is gentle as she is spirited Nyx is always one for exercise and try new stuff but always there to save her rider from a fall if she can. Always eager to learn and yet easily bored if not worked for a long while. (a week or two) She can and will be aggressive to bullies as she was once bullied for her shyness. When not working with her handler she is often stareing to the hills and sky wondering what kind of adventures she could go on with her rider. Her biggest dislike is bright light as it tends to make her skin and eyes uncomfortable so can be found doing more during twilight and just before the sun leaves the sky.
How was she domesticated (Short story):

It all started on her second birthday she had been harshed by a male stallion that had bullied her since the begining. She had found him annoying and his quest to try and gain her trust well was not the way she had wanted it. She had just finished fighting against him in mock protest as she was still not into breeding him as if she could sense he was not the right one to be her mate. She had been wounded only to find that riders had come down to chase them into the lower hills.
As she was chased the blood had flown freely with her wounds causing her to be slower then the rest of the herd of wild Wild Mountain Equids. It was then a man threw a rough long creature that wrapped around her throat causing her not to be able to breath. She fought and fought against the thing only to find another upon her. It was not long that they worked her into a metal beast that roared and groaned causing her to bolt to the side or back up causing the people much work to get her into the trailer. As if sent from above a gentle hand rested on her rump and spoke words she did not know allowing her to calm down. The female two legger had got her on to the trailer without a second time where as the men had had trouble.
The trip from her home to this place that smelled of something salty like the grass except more so. She glanced when she could through the other bodies in the mass of the herd that had be caught to the bars. Her eyes roamed over land that swiftly changed from the hills to the plains and to her new home. She heard a language greet her and the others and gave a response back as she was lead from the trailer by the female. These creatures that she was brought out to look upon were ugly and deformed from what she looke dlike with short ears and big bodies.

She was lead to a paddock to be with her kind mainly made up of mares and foals that were under a year old. it was then the female began to walk around her acting much like one of them so much that her and the others relaxed around her believing her to be part of the herd. Soon after the female start halter training her and a few others only to have it quickly to towards ground work. her body became more limber and responded to the commands easily after she had learn she would get treats if she did what she was asked to do. Her legs would turn gracefully when asked to change direction and to stop when asked. Because of her size she would only be good fo halter classes as she always seemed to hold her head up just right and her tail out. Her legs when stopped were close to making a good square but this was after great work from the female who put hours every day into her. As a gift for breaking in most of the other wmes the female was gifted the lovely white creature who she had deamed Nix as if she had be reborn to be a lady amongst the lowly short earred horses.

Equid Name: Liberty
Equid Age: 3 years
Height: 12.2hh
Gender: Female
SHORT personality playful, fun, high spirited
How was she domesticated (Short story): Liberty was caught in a poachers trap, around her leg. She was stuck, and if the poacher found her, she was doomed. But instead, a hiker happened to pass, and freed her. She took off, eager to be away from there. Later, the hiker was caught below a rockslide, and Liberty happened to be nearby. The hiker shouted, and Liberty ran to his aid. She pulled him out of the way of the rocks, and helped him home. She had meant to stay for just that day, to make sure he'd be ok, but now it has been months and she hasn't left. They have become attached to each other.

Equid Name: Frosted Wonderland, Frost for short
Equid Age: 2 years, fairly
Height: 12.2hh
Gender: Female
SHORT personality Frost kept onto her playful attudiue since she was a filly, inenjoying the feeling of being wild and free was her dream until her "big mistake" happens. She calls it that because she never got fond of humans, and her light ears always fall back when they are in the barn. The other WME's in the barn helped to to get over her hated in time though, and now live wild, but controled and free in her three acre pasture that she gallops around. :3
How was she domesticated (Short story): ((in this story, they are both filly's))
Frost didn't dare look back as her friend came up to her side "Wanna take it?" Cyros asked, her green eyes full of excitement as she watched the friend. "Why?" Frost said, "Just prove I'm right...again" She giggled looking at Cyros, who had a look full of rage. "Just go down and touch the humans big red thing that they made out of our trees" She held her head high "I dare you". Frost looked over, "Finnee" She moaned, moving towards the barn at a steady trot.

Frost felt nervous, her fears of the barn had been tucked away until this moment of moving down the slope towards the place where her friend so despartly wanted her to go. They had been daring themselves since they could stand, dozens of running the fastest to the berry bush or if you were strong enough to swim in the stream. Each time though, the white filly came victorious, with Cyros behind her thinking and spitting out words on how the other cheated. Most times Frost won fairly, others on rare ocastions the words "I told you so!" Would spill out of Cyros's mouth to Frost.

Frost blinked, looking back at the honey colored Equid to trailed her from a yard away "What are you doing?" Frost called, almost entering the humans territory as she stepped towards Cyros a bit, unsure. "I want to watch you" She explained, but still stayed a bit away. Frost rolled her eyes, moving onto the neatly trimmed grass and across to the red building that she saw the humans put up about a month ago. She came to stand next to the barn "Look" she turned and brushed her soft muzzle on the barn "I touched it with my muzzle" She smiled them, feeling victory as she thought about her accomplishment. "I bet that you can't Cyros" She smirked, starting to move away when she noticed her friends eyes getting large, staring past her. "What's wrong?" The white filly looked behind her, staring at a human with some sort of bendable tree branch(rope xD). "Run" Cyros screamed, moving to across the hill, up to the top.

Frost moved as fast as she could for the way she came in, then the rope held around her neck and pulling her back to the ground. She looked down to see the thing the human held on to earlier had made its way around her frame."Let me go!" She yelled, pulling back her ears as she repeatly tried to move. She sighed, sweat and mud starting to roll down her coat as she stood up. She staring at Cyros, who had been yelling at her in the distance. She couldn't hear what Pryos was saying, and blinked "I wanna go home" She whinnied, taking steps back as the human pulled her into the barn. Frost sighed, she heard tales of this kind of thing happening, and watched her last glimpse of freedom as she sat down in a stall, thinking to herself.

((Is this to long Birch? If so ill edit it. But it is the right amount of everything you asked for))

congrats!
