Welcome to Aurara Valley

.:About Aurara Valley Center:.
Each month, Aurara Valley Center(AVC) goes to the wild herds of Aurora Valley, Snowed Pass, Palomino Valley, and Wild Grass to gather and cut the population of the herds down in preservation of their roaming lands in a human attempt to aid in the survival of the wild Mustangs at these places.
About the Herds:
Aurora Valley Herd #1 and #2 are known for their more colorful and patternful physique. They are also on the taller side, reaching between 15 to 16.1 hands high, some have been known to reach 17 hands!
Aurora Valley Herd #3 is a little tamer compared to #1 and #2. They are mostly solid colors, but are still just as tall.
Their physique is thin boned with strong chests and hind legs. Their hooves are small and solid. They have thicker, but shorter manes and tails than most other mustangs, as they have a lot of Appaloosa blood.
They are pretty secluded and territorial, oftentimes difficult to gentle because of their overtly spirited nature, and tendency to 'flight.' Once gentled, they become quickly attached to their gentler. Aurora Valley horses are known for being extremely personable, and difficult to ride if you are not their gentler. Overall, though, the wait and patience is worth it, because, in the end, these animals become far more than a companion, and are anything a horse person could ever ask for.
They are oftentimes Dressage or Jumping horses.
Snowed Pass is a small herd management area with only 2 herds. Both herds have mostly gray, black, or blue roan animals, sometimes solid whites. They are on the smaller side, as they live higher in the mountains, reaching aprox. between 13.2 hands through 14.1 hands. They have a lot more draft blood in them, so they are rather stocky and thickly built, with thick bones and thick muscles. They are very quick on their feet, despite them being large animals. Because of their draft blood, these animals tend to be easier to handle and gentle, having ancient and calm souls. Despite their small stature, these animals have a tendency to get adopted faster by more experienced, knowledgeable horsemen and women. They are calm, cool, and collected. Once trained, anyone can jump on their back for a calm ride or a quick paced cutting.
Often used as cow horses, or barrel racers.
Palomino Valley Herds, there are 6 in total, have a tendency to be more colorful than Snowed Pass and Wild Grass. They are known for their creamy palominos and cremellos. These horses have a high tendency of being colorful and spotted/painted. They are snatched up the quickest when it comes to colors and patterns. They have a solid structure, ranging from the short, stocky cow horse, to the long and limber Dressage/Jumper. These horses range from a compact height of 14.2 hands all the way up to 16.1. They are very wild horses, and are gentled in due time; however, they are not as hard to tame as Aurora Valley animals.
These animals are used for a variety of things, including ranch and Western work all the way to upper level English eventing.
Wild Grass Herds range from #1 all the way to #9. These animals have a large swath of land to roam, tending to stick to the flat, grassy valleys between Snowed Pass and Aurora Valley, neighboring Palomino Valley. These animals are generally on the average size of 14 to 15 hands, coming in a variety of solid colors, and sometimes Appaloosa patterns. They have thicker builds than most of the Palomino and Aurora Valley horses, but also have a tendency to be better jumpers than both. They are working horses, always needing something to do. They are very rushed horses, preferring to run full-blast than sit in a pasture all day. They make lovely barrel racers because of this.
Aurara Valley Training Center is a large ranch located east of the Wild Grass Herd Management area. In this vast ranch, owners of AVM are encouraged to use training facilities such as various sized round pens, large box stalls, racks of training aids, a saddle-training Dummy, indoor and outdoor facilities, and, even a manor and rooming systems are set up to encourage boarding of both horse and rider.
Dorm halls include apartment-style housing with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms a piece, including a kitchen-living room combo. Horse boarding for those living on campus is wavered due to the cost of dorming. Those that live on the ranch are given jobs to complete each day. Each boarder takes care of his/her own horse, and is also encouraged to ride other horses, with permission, as well, for experience. All AVM adopters will be supervised while training by a trainer.
