Upon release of his call, the large draft stud stood still, harks pricked, breathing slowed as he listened, hoping for some sort of response. And there it was. A dainty whinny, not far off, obviously from a mare. Pleased, the stallion began to step forward, until another call caught his attention. Two mares had heard him, and both were seemingly interested. Viking, never one for making decisions, especially tough ones like this, released another bellow, and half-reared, hoping they would notice him. He could see one of the mares {Winter}, violently swishing her tail about, trying her hardest to catch his eye. The other {Hope} he could not see. With a heavy sigh, he released another neigh, hoping the unseen mare would be drawn to his voice. It wasn't often lone mares wandered so close to the bachelor herd, so he had to take his chance with the one he could currently see before someone else snatched her up. And so, Viking trotted towards the mare, releasing soft squeals of both excitement and greeting, before slowing a good three yards from her. He lowered his head, clacking his teeth as if to show he meant no harm and was no threat, despite his rather large and intimidating size. " Hello. " The large dark brown and white Clydesdale called to the light dapple gray mare, a small smile now on his lips. " The name is Viking. "

He was on edge at the moment, very wary of his surroundings. The littlest movements, heck, the tiniest sounds cause the large equine to twist around quick, hoping to catch the predator or whoever it was spying on them. But everytime, it was to no avail. He seemed virtually crazy at this point, as none of his mares seemed to have taken notice. It's like he was hallucinating, but he knew he wasn't. He knew he'd seen a figure in the bushes and trees, watching them, preying on his band. And the paranoia was eating away at him as he tried to simply graze, but he was only ripping up grass just to drop it again, as he was focused more on his surroundings than on eating. Allayo always seemed to know when something was up with him, she knew Gator better than he knew himself. She noticed things that most others wouldn't. She was quiet, vigilant, observant. Perhaps that's why she was such a great lead mare, because she approached him and began grooming him, sensing that he was stressing at the moment. Gladiator sighed heavily, turning his head to nuzzle his mare affectionately. He could tell by the tone of her voice she was worried, and well, he didn't blame her. " Yeah. Oddly enough, it looked like... well, a horse. " And he gave a pathetically weak chuckle, shaking his head. " And normally I wouldn't stress over it. I mean look at me, I'm huge. Why would any stallion mess with me? " Even in his most low moments, the stallion loved to boast of his large stature and how intimidating he was. But not even that made him feel better, as he continued," But this. This was much larger than most of the stallions around here. It was another draft. And well, this is going to sound crazy but there's a good chance... " He trailed off, shaking his head and forcing another laugh. " Maybe I am crazy. " He muttered, now grooming his mare, as he tried to push away the thoughts. There was no way his brother would have followed him out here. No way he would have found him. Gator was just being paranoid... wasn't he? That's crazy, right?

Herd;; Pride's
After getting a little attention from Pride, the Andalusian mare dipped her head, and began to graze near the leading pair. Page was her friend, and Pride, her beloved stallion. Both she thought of as being very close to, and she enjoyed their company. As she grazed, though, her young colt was romping around, obviously bored and wanting nothing more than for someone to play. He ran around, weaving in and out of his herd-mates, kicking up his heels and nickering loudly, as if to say," Play with me! Catch me if you can! C'mon slowpokes, it's time to play! " But it all seemed pointless, as not even his mother or father spared a single glance in his direction. With a gruff 'harumph', the colt began pawing at the ground out of frustration. Ghost only wanted to play. He didn't understand why no one else seemed to want to play with him. Even his mother seemed to grow tired of playing with her son, but being so young, he couldn't understand why, and took it to heart as an insult. Now he sighed, sadly, and laid down, deciding maybe a nap in the warm summer sun would make him feel better.
