A band, or herd of horses consists of a single stallion and a few mares and foals. Once a filly or colt becomes two years old, they are kicked out of their herd to prevent inbreeding.
Lead mares are not the stallion's favorite and are not chosen by the stallion. The lead mare is the most dominant mare, usually the oldest though younger mares can fight the lead mare for the position. Lead mares can push other mares and foals around, they get to drink first from water holes, lead the herd to new places and even kick out mares that they do not like.
Stallions mate with all or most mares in his herd once they come into heat, and the mare will give birth in 11 months to a single foal and even twins, though twins are extremely rare and will often die in the wild as they are weak and will need help to survive.
Horses are flight animals, stallions only fight if their herd is being threatened by another stallion. If there were a fire or wranglers and a horse was captured, another horse wouldn't go to the wrangler and fight them as they would be too cared to and would only be thinking about escaping.
Mares may even go into heat one week after their foals are born and are usually in heat during in Spring and Summer, sometimes Autumn and never winter.
A Bachelor is a stallion who does not have a herd and will often try to court and snake lone mares or mares from another herd. Stallions don't often start herds until they are at least 5, when they are strong enough to keep a few mares and will stay with other bachelors until they gain a mare.
Snaking is when a stallion lowers his head, pins his ears and runs behind the mares, sometimes nipping but is mostly just running close to them. This causes mares, foals, and sometimes even younger stallions to move in a certain direction and is used to bring a herd to another place or to steal mares from a herd. Mares always to go where the stallions want them to go and will hardly fight back, but when they do there is not much they can do since stallions are stronger and can usually get them to go to a certain area quickly and easily. This is used when moving their herd or bring a mare to the herd. Snaking is very normal and mares do not hate stallions for doing it.
Herds may consist from 1-6 mares but it is possible to have larger herds.
Lone horses cannot survive in the winter and must be with others, either in a herd or in a band of bachelor stallions
A mare has 4 stages of heat
0- Not interested in a stallion at all
1-Still not interested in a stallion
2-Slightly interested but will still fight
3-Interested but will fight if the stallion tries to hard
4-Very interested and will hardly fight against the stallion
Mares also come into season a week after giving birth and can be re-mated
When a new mare joins, the lead mare will sus her out and make sure she knows she's below her, then, the next dominant mare will do the same, then the next etc etc

Zebra populations are diverse, and the relationships between and the taxonomic status of several of the subspecies are not well known. Though Zebra species may have overlapping ranges, they do not interbreed. Zebras walk, trot, canter and gallop. They are generally slower than horses, but their great stamina helps them outpace predators. When chased, a Zebra will zigzag from side to side, making it difficult for the predator. When cornered, the Zebra will rear up and kick or bite its attacker.
It is believed that the stripes of the Zebra serve as a camouflage mechanism. The vertical striping helps the Zebra hide in grass. Though the grass is neither white nor black, it is supposed to be effective against the Zebra's main predator, the lion, which is color blind and when hunting a zebra, if it is with a herd, instead of seeing individuals, it sees a blob.. Zebras have excellent eyesight. Zebras also have night vision, although not as advanced as that of most of their predators. They have great hearing, which compensates for their sight. Zebras can turn their ears in almost any direction. In addition to eyesight and hearing, Zebras have an acute sense of smell and taste.
Zebras sleep standing up, and sleep only when other animals are around to warn them of predators. Zebras communicate with each other with high pitched barks and whinnying. When tense, they will also snort. Zebras are known to bark (or bray) loudly, when they spot or sense a predator.
Zebras are generally social animals, which can be seen in small harems to large herds, consisting of one stallion with up to six mares and their foals. Single Zebra males either live alone or with groups of other bachelors until they are old enough to challenge a breeding stallion.
Zebras are very adaptable grazers. They feed mainly on grasses but will also eat shrubs, herbs, twigs, leaves and bark. Their digestive systems allow them to subsist on diets of lower nutritional quality than that necessary for other herbivores.
Female Zebras mature earlier than the males, and a mare may have her first foal by the age of three. Males are not able to breed until the age of five or six. Mares may give birth to one foal every twelve months (7 RL days). She nurses the foal for up to a year. (2 RL weeks)
Zebras are most active in the early morning and late afternoon. They spend up to half of the daylight hours feeding. A
zebra can travel at a top speed of fifty five kilometers per hour, slower than a horse. However, it has much greater
stamina. During the course of a day the plains zebra can walk around forty kilometers (from its herd, and back again in the
evening.) Zebras are highly social and usually form small family groups consisting of a single stallion, one, two, or several
mares, and their recent offspring. Groups are permanent, and group size tends to vary with habitat: in poor country the
groups are small. From time to time, Plains Zebra families group together into large herds, both with one another and with
other grazing species, notably Blue Wildebeests.
Unlike many of the large ungulates of Africa, Plains Zebras prefer but do not require short grass to graze on. In
consequence, they range more widely than many other species, even into woodland, and they are often the first grazing
species to appear in a well vegetated area. Only after zebras have cropped and trampled the long grasses do wildebeests
and gazelles move in. Nevertheless, for protection from predators, Plains Zebras retreat into open areas with good
visibility at night time, and take it in turns standing watch. They eat a wide range of different
Herds
Herds of Zebra's are often seen in thousands, but, there are about 500 harems within the one massive herd. Stallions will fight with other stallions though but will not snake mares.
Mating Season
During Spring, Mares come into heat. Stallions will fight for mating rights, and if a stallion wins, he gets to mate with both his mares and the losers mares. The losers mares have the choice to leave the loser and join the winning stallion, or stay with the losing stallion, but they will have the winners foals come next spring.

Now, to all of you people wondering what the plot and setting are I'll explain. Let's start, shall we. If you've ever seen the Suite Life on Deck you'll probably have an idea where I'm going with this rp. It's a boarding school rp for middle and high school students (for those who need clarification, grade 7-12 and roughly ages 11 to 21). However, the catch is that the boarding school, Westwood Academy, is on a cruise ship. So no, it's not a typical school that goes from August/September to May/June. It starts in January and goes all year, the ship makes stops in various locations throughout the year and stays around a week or so at a time during school breaks. Yes, it is a cruise ship and yes, people do go on vacation on the ship while the students are in school. It's not a typical school day as it starts at 9 and ends between noon and one pm, depending on schedule... there is also school only 4 days a week, nothing on Saturday, Sunday or Monday. As far as setting goes, it is present day setting (if you weren't sure by the dates in the above pieces), and there is no set location as you are ON A ship. the ship moves around a lot and I will figure out destinations for it to stop at as the rp goes on.

Life was once perfect. The humans, the environment, and Pokemon were in perfect balance. Sure, many tried to tip the balance one way or another, but brave trainers always righted it. At least, as much as they could...Too many imbalances took the Surface from us.
Something went wrong with the Legendary pokemon. They came out of hiding and fought with everyone. Trainers, wild pokemon, even people without any pokemon fell to their angry attacks. The bravest of trainers investigated every possible lead--old Team Rocket tricks, the newer but still deadly Team Plasma, and imbalances with our neighboring dimensions. But, they found no conclusive evidence for any of their ideas. Finally, they decided to team up and take down the legendaries once and for all.
That was a huge mistake. Yes, every legendary was killed, and they could no longer attack us humans, but the balance of life was permanently tipped in the humans favor. Soon the weather grew out of control. People became sluggish, depressed shells of their former emotions. Wild pokemon violently attacked humans and pokemon alike. It became dangerous to go outside, so many stockpiled all the supplies they could get and holed up in their homes. Finally the government issued an emergency evacuation from the surface. A sandstorm as big as the Red Spot on Jupiter was due to hit Kanto in five days, and nobody could breathe in that. So, the government poured all of its money and resources into the Magnet Train line. Those subways stretch over every region, and can hold over three hundred thousand people. With everyones' stored supplies and the governments money, the population of every region could live there. And, we did! For thirty-five years we lived there.
And now, in Station 5, or Neo Saffron, the first Station-raised generation is ready to go to the surface. Most trainers like to make their Journey around the surface, scrounging for supplies, rare pokemon, and any treasures left, before they return to the station and officially start their life as an adult. Trainers have to be fifteen to get their license, as wild pokemon are stronger than before, and life can be brutal on the Surface. Only experienced trainers who were old enough to remember life Before the Sandstorm have gone up now. They say Nature is still brutal, and the legendaries are still gone. There are bandits, angry wild pokemon, and crazy storm. But, there are also supplies left free for the taking, migrating tribes, and traveling merchants with all sorts of rarities, like chocolate and pokemon eggs. It's a true adventure just waiting for us to experience it!
