wild Wyoming - mustang role play - open and accepting!

[♡infinity♡]

wyoming is a very beautiful place, but also very, very dangerous. wyoming is lush with big meadows, wide lakes and rivers and great valleys. however during summer, the heats can excel and the water in some places is a minimum, often the place looks like a desert. but none the less, the mustangs here still survive in these cold and bitter white winters, and then the scorching desert summers. Luckliy, during autumn and spring, the green grass comes through allowing horses to get ready for the upcoming season.

Whether you survive or die it's not up to you... Lets just hope you can live long enough to call it a life.

➵ A band of horses, which is also known as a herd, consists of 3-30 mares, (rarely that many) their foals and a single dominant stallion. There may be a few stray stallions who tag along with the herd but will be snaked from the herd if caught mating with the dominant stallions mares.

A Band stallion is the 'dominant' stallion of the herd, so to speak. He does not lead the herd, nor is he the leader of the mares. He's not boss. His job is to keep the herd safe from predators and humans, and will chase his herd away from any danger. When with humans, sometimes the stallion will cut away from his herd and lead the human someplace else and after while when he knows he's lost the man he will return to his herd and will keep pushing them. With predators such as, Wolves, Bears, Cougars, etc he will chase his herd to saftey. Stallions may chase off a mountain lion if it is young or ill, but if not he might kick at it once to distract it while his herd takes off and then he will follow. A Band stallion will often depart from his herd in search of good meadows and water and then he'll return and snake his herd toward the area, his lead mare up front. Stallions rarely accept mares colts that are sired by other males, if they are a year or up, they usually get chased out quite violently, if they are younger, they are killed [prepare yourself for that] fillies, usually won't ever leave his herd unless snaked by another male as the stallion can use her if she's not his daughter. Stallions also don't mushy talk over foals, they don't see foals like mares do, stallions are not sweet things that love foals, they are brutal animals that fight to keep their herd and to stay alive. they rarely have time for foals, and only once their colts are old enough, will they start to show them how to spar and fight.

➵ A lead mare's Role is to lead the herd, She is the dominant or alpha mare of the herd. She is usually the oldest and wisest. A lead Mare will lead her herd to safety, and when her stallion has found a good meadow or river or whatever, she will lead the herd up front to the area. The lead mare gets the best drinking spot, and the best grazing spots. Her foal however is not always the most dominant of the lot. The lead mare is not the stallions favorite mare, in fact Stallions don't have lead mares. Lead mares are sorted out through challenges, mares don't get violent, mares will nip, squeal and now and then kick the air, but won't actually draw any blood from other mares. After about 10 minutes, the older mare will win, the younger mare will back away accept her spot. If a horse in the herd (mare, filly, colt) is being disrespectful, or simply being annoying, the lead mare will snake him or her out of the herd and she or he will not be allowed back into the herd until the lead mare allows them. If she snakes them out the band stallion can't and will not do anything about it. The lead mare also has every right to snake her band stallion out of the herd, if he is young or simply cocky and disrespectful, the lead mare will chase him out and won't allow him back until she decides. If she doesn't want him back, she will start calling out to bachelors alarming them there is a herd needing a stallion here. And the band stallion can't do much about it. He will simply have to try and fend away stallions until his Lead lets him back in.

➵ Snaking is when a horse lowers his/her neck and nips at another horses hips, flank and hocks and drives them somewhere, whether towards a herd, or out of a herd. When a stallion snakes, A mare might kick a few times but unless the stallion is 5 years or younger, the mare will eventually give up and will simply go where the stallion wants. With mares snaking out other horses, the more the horse fights, the longer the lead mare will keep the horse out of the herd.

➵ A Bachelor stallion is a young male (or old) whom does not have a herd, often he will join up with what is called a Bachelor Band, which is a band of stallions with an old male whom is between 13 and 20 years who leads the herd the rest of the males simply follow him like his mares. In spring, the older bachelors of the herd will depart and look for mares, if he finds no mares over spring and summer he will return to the bachelor band and stay for autumn and winter. Some lone bachelors, (2- 6 years) will tag along with a herd of mares and their stallion.

➵ Stallions fight all year round, they are more dormant during winter, only fighting each other over grazing grounds or water streams. During Spring and summer, Stallions fight constantly, but again, they don't get that violent, people say stallions rip shreads from one another, that is wrong, Stallions bite, scream, kick, rear, but they rarely cause major injuries. Stallions may leave fights with maybe one bad wound, but it won't be bad and the worst a fight will do too stallions, will make the loser lose his mares, They, will also be tired after the fight. When Stallions fight, the loser will back off, all of the losers mares, will then be taken by the winning stallion. The winning stallion will then need to be more cautious with his mares if he then has a large herd.

➵ bachelor Stallions spar constantly, when in a herd if they do not sucsessfully gain mares that spring, during autumn, and the next spring, they will fight and argue. Come spring, some bachelors will remain together, usually young stallions may gang up on older stallions herds and try and take their mares, but will rarely succeed in gaining a mare.

➵ Stages of heat in mares
0/ not in heat, not interested will need to be snaked
1/ in heat, will need to be snaked
2/ in heat, will likely need to be snaked
3/ in heat won't need snaking, will most likely mate with any stallion
4/ in heat will mate with any stallion no matter who
3/ in heat won't need snaking, will most likely mate with any stallion
2/ in heat, will likely need to be snaked
1/ in heat, will need to be snaked
0/ not in heat, not interested will need to be snaked

➵ Horses are Flight animals, they will not go looking for trouble, they will run away from ANY danger they can sence. Horses are also Claustrophobic and won't go into caves. If its a meter long cave like mostly a small shelter that only one horse can fit in, or mostly stand under like a Rock roof, a mare will often foal under those.

➵ in this roleplay any colts that are born are at risk until they are one year. If a mare is snaked out of a herd and into another and is nursing a colt. That colt Will be killed the minute the mare steps foot into the herd. The dam and some other mares may try to protect it but in the end the colt will die. If the mare is pregnant with another stallions foal. When she births, if it's a colt, once she returns to the herd, the stallion will kill it. If it's a filly, it will not leave the herd. Once it turns two, it will breed with the stallion.

➵ some colts can start breeding at 6 months, some might not start till they are three. If a mare is 17 hands, and the stallion is only 15 hands or smaller, quite often the mare will lay down for the stallion. this works with the young colts as well. If a colt who is younger than two and can breed, mares will lay down in front of him and he will breed with them.

➵ Fillies however, do not start breeding till they are two.

Seasons

The current season is: Spring!

➵ Spring: The season of new life everywhere, the earth has warmed up again and the snow has melted though there might still be a frost around. New foals will be born and mares will come into heat again and will be looking for a herd or a stallion, there is a lot more food now so time to get your stregnth back up. The world is beautiful though there might be a few floods from melting snow, meaning rivers, streams and lakes will be deaper than ever so watch young foals around these areas. However... this is the time for violent bloody fights of stallions defending their herds or simply trying to win mares.

➵ Summer: The season where it gets really warm, annoying flies buzzing around you, most mares will still be in heat and looking for a herd, foals may be born but the earth has really started to dry up. There may be a drought, or even a fire in some places, water may become scarce and you will have to look hard to find it. Herds often run for hours with few to no stops to find water. Herds are just as common in this season as they are in spring, still fighting over mares, but also, this time, fighting for water to keep their mares alive.

➵ Autumn/fall: The season where everyone is trying to prepare for winter, horses are eating more to prepare for winter. Some mares may still be in heat and looking for a herd, though some may just join herds of mares, and lone bachelors may join a bachelor herd. Some foals may be born but there survival chances are slim. Leaves will fall and the earth will be covered in color the ground will cool down once again. The fighting does not lessen, stallions are now fighting however, now they are fighting for food for their herds.

➵ Winter: The season where the earth becomes a freezing ice rink, rivers, streams, lakes almost every water supply will freeze over with dangerous ice. The earth is covered in a thick blanket of snow and there may be storms on the way. It's freezing and food is little you may even have to eat the bark off the trees. Young foals and very old horses to not have a good chance of surviving this season. Mares are still in heat, however do not exceed stage two as their body will not let them, therefore breeding doesn't occur. Stallions are occasionally fighting for grazing grounds.
