Great Plains Equines Advent Event!

Postby LostHope » Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:34 pm

It''s December, and pretty much my favorite time of year! My tablet doesn't really work anymore, so I'm stuck with my mouse. Keep an eye out, though, for new adopts through-out the month! I hope everyone enjoys the holidays, what ever they celebrate!

Event GPE cannot breed.

What is a Great Plains Equine?:
The GPE are a special breed of horse. They are large and sturdy breed, suited best for working a farm and pulling carts. They also were once used as war horses during the war between the Mountain and Forest kingdoms. GPE stand at 13-17 hands, though are most commonly ranging at around 15-16 hands. Their coats are sleek and soft, the colors and patterns are too varied to even list, though they are most commonly found with a 'paint' style coat. Their manes and tails are long and flowing, their hooves heavily feathers and nearly fully concealed. GPE's have long beards under their chins, both male and female, and have a pair of horns that sweep backwards along their necks. Their eyes range in any color of the full spectrum, and produce a glow that resembles smoke, or possibly flames. They are docile beasts, but are not easily tamed.

What is The Great Plains?:
The Great Plains is a wildlife reserve. But most importantly, it is the only place where these equines can be found the most. It's lush in grasses and other foliage, as well as a special flower that they love to eat. They seek it out as a special treat, known locally as the nightingale lily.

Behavior and herds:
A herd is normally formed of around 3-50 equines, mainly made up of mares and their foals. Once a colt grows to 2 years of age, he is then chased off by the herd's lead stallion. These young stallions band together creating bachelor herds. They are wild horses, but aren't as timid as normal. They have grown used to humans, but are far from tame. To help control the wild population, people are allowed to come in a catch a young mare or stallion.

Nope, he's our mascot. The adopts will be displayed under him.

I was wondering if we could get maybe a little tack for these GPEs? Since they are reindeer, I was thinking Like a harness or halter, it might be fun! It could be optional and if not free, the owner could pay the artist some pets or art or whatever they work out. Just a thought!
