General RulesPlease follow ALL of the rules.Chicken Smoothie Roleplaying RulesEverybody should have read the roleplaying rules, they are displayed around the Chicken Smoothie Forum. If by chance you haven't read the rules for roleplaying in this section (or in general roleplaying on CS) I will put links below. The links take you directly to the rules that you MUST read before joining this roleplay, and any other roleplay I assume.

Literacy and Realism
This roleplay is 100% realistic, and there will not be any oddities to the characters, or strange things happening. No weird coat colours, or wings/horns or odd coloured eyes. -- The roleplay is semi-literate to literate. That means I expect at least THREE descriptive sentences for each post. I will make an exeption of WB (writers block) on every second page. Please make sure you have complete grammer, sentences make sense, and punctuation is correctly in place.
Characteristics / Behavior in wild horses
I cannot stress enough about this rule, so I have added it. In a realistic world, wild horses aren't fearless, or necessarily savage animals. They tend to use "flight" instead of "fight". Stallion fight each other for mares, and rarely mares have a choice in anything. Mares tend to quarrel (fight) other mares in a harem or band for the position of lead mare. Now, all a lead mare does is lead the herd to safety, feed areas, water and possibly other areas. She is NOT the Stallion's favourite, nor is any other mare. I'm assuming you get the picture? Great!

Character Forms
I am not going to write up a simple form for users who want to be lazy and sloppy. I want you to show me why your joining my roleplay, and if your really capable of this maturity. Please only use one image per character. Use realisic images, and make sure to credit the original owner of pictures. In each form please write at least two full SENTENCES in the Personality part of the form, and in the History I would like 3 full SENTENCES. In case you haven't already noticed, this roleplay is intended for mature people who have roleplayed for quite a while, and who know about horses...
Character Genders
For the first characters you make to join this roleplay you are required to create a mare and a stallion. After you make two different gendered horses you are free to make slightly uneven genders. Please try and keep genders a little even however, though, there should be more mares then stallions - preferably.
Starting out Roleplaying
Each individual character begins the roleplay as a loner or bachelour - note: generally mares, young or old, and colts are loners. But Stallions are Bachelours. Please do not have any of your characters in the band/harem of another one of your own horses, and there is only ONE stallion per band/harem.
Draft Breeds or Ponies
I would prefer if you did not roleplay with draft breeds (i.g clydesdales, shire horses, percheron etc.). I would also prefer if you didn't have pony breeds, by this I mean Shetlands, minatures etc... Brumby horses aren't overly large, but they aren't THAT small.
Horse Language/Body Language
Although body language is preferred - and even encouraged, I will allow dialogue (speech) in the roleplay.
Breeding and Foaling
During certain seasons mares come into heat, there are four (technically five - 0-5) stages of a mares heat cycle, they are the following:
0 - Not interested in stallion. Will fight, not allow stallion to breed.
1 - Still not interested, will still fight, but slightly less.
2 - Slightly interested in stallion, will still fight though.
3 - More interested, rarely puts up much of a fight.
4 - 100% interested, will allow stallion to breed, no fighting.
Amount of Roleplaying without Me (OWNER)
I will allow other roleplayers to go ahead roleplaying if I go offline. But only for a maximum of five pages. If you go over ten pages without me, you will be warned once. That specific warning will go away after roleplaying actively another ten pages with the owner (me) or a roleplay mod online.
No God-Modeling / Be fair to users-roleplayers
God-Modeling is when you make your character more important then others, stronger, faster, better in any way. I will NOT allow this in any of my roleplays. As it is very unfair. Another form of God-Modeling is known as "Mary/Gary-Sues". I have no clue of why it is called that, but I have read it is when your character is supposedly perfect, always wins fights, never gets into trouble and is loved by everyone. Please, refrain from getting your character titled this, as after a certain amount of this you will be warned once.
Roleplayer Activity
I will not tolerate inactive members of this roleplay. I will be VERY strict on this rule. If you haven't posted within a week without notice you will be warned and sent a private message. Please post at least three times every week. Post with your active characters, and if some of your characters have not been active I may (or may not...) have to remove them. They will be able to be recreated, but you would have to repost/redo the form again.
Stallions, Mares and Bands/Harems
Other stallions can only snake mares from bands if that band stallion is online. Mares rarely put up a fight and cannot do anything, they may try to go back to their other stallion however! A band/harm consists of 1-6 mares (sometimes more) and a single stallion.
Adding New Characters
Some roleplayers may (or may not) want more then the two starting horses you will create. If you do, please go into your original characters post and create the new characters below them, once finished, please private message (PM) me to announce the new characters you have made. You may NOT begin roleplaying without being accepted.
Wild Horses Age
There comes a time where wild horses will move away from their band (or if loner..) and become deceased. The maximum age limit to the wild horses in this roleplay is 25 year's old. Please do not go above that age, it would be a miracle if your horse live to even that age. If they do reach that age, please let the horse(s) slip away peacefully and humanely.
