We are the wise pack, we are born intelligent. Not necessarily distinguished, but intelligent we are. We follow the paths of our ancients, ultimately leading us along the path of life. We run wild but cautious, we have fun but not fun that harms us. We live in a field of flowers and a forest of creatures we respect and creatures we look down upon. We are...
The Zodiac Pack.

Horses love to be in the crowd, maybe that is why they can usually be seen in such occasions like concerts, theaters, meetings, sporting occasions, and of course, parties.
The horse is very quick-witted and is right in there with you before you have had the chance to finish what you are saying: he's on to the thought in your mind even before you've expressed it. In general, the Horse is gifted. But in truth he is really more cunning than intelligent - and he knows that. That is probably why, most of the horse people lack confidence.
Chinese believe that because horses are born to race or travel, all Horse people invariably leave home young. The Horse despises being pressured to act for the good of the group or made to feel guilty. No matter how integrated he seems to be, a Horse's inner self remains powerfully rebellious. Although they have boundless energy and ambition, Horses have a hard time belonging.
The Horse is hot-blooded, hot-headed and impatient. He is a bit of an egoist, well, selfish sometimes, that it is rare for him to interest himself in any problems except his own. And though this egoist works only for himself and for his own success, his work nevertheless benefits everybody.
The Horse is a worker, adepts at handling money and a good financier. But unfortunately, he is also famous for suddenly losing interest on something. In his relationship with opposite sex, the Horse is weak. He will give up everything for love.
Being born a Horse, there are many contradictions in his character. Horses are proud yet sweet-natured, arrogant yet oddly modest in their approach to love, envious but tolerant, conceited yet humble. They want to belong, yet they are burdened by their need for independence. They need love and crave intimacy yet often feel cornered, pressured. But the truth is, the Horse is an individual, who depends only on his wits and his labor to get what he wants.

Our history- We were founded by a horse named Energy long, long, long ago. A very long time ago. He was very wise and was said to know everything, although these days we know that that can't be true. He was inventive and was well-respected by humans too. They created stories about him and created the zodiac, and he was one of the animals. There's billions of 'horse people' around today all because of Energy and the humans who respected him so much.

[*] The Main Stallion or The Main Mare
This is the ultimate leader of the herd. They make decisions with the help of their mate, the Elites, and the Experienced.
[*] The Elites
This is a group of 3 that are like deputies. They must be experienced and willing to help the herd under any circumstances, like any other stallion or mare.
[*] The Junior Elites
The fillies and colts who learn from the elites. They will be elites, and one of them will be leader one day unless fallen.
[*] Wisest Ones
Horses who are in training or are to heal their herd rather than find food and fight for their herd. But if it comes down to it, they must fight for their herd if needed.
[*] The Stallions
Basically adult, male horses that protect and find food for the herd.
[*] The Mares
Just adult, female horses that protect and find food for the herd.
[*] Fillies
Female horses that are in training to become mares or Wisest Ones. They must be trained by mares.
[*] Colts
Male horses that are in training to become stallions or Wisest Ones. They must be trained by stallions.
[*] Dams
Mother horses that are nursing or pregnant. They may also be referred to as Ladies, but the proper term is a dam.
[*] Foals
Horses too young to go out for training. They are to stay in the Younglings Cave or the Camp until they are fillies or colts.
[*] The Experienced
The elderly who are retired and can no longer take care of their herd. In return of their service, we now take care of them. They are highly respected and considered of high rank in the herd.
[*] The Eternal Peace Herd
The deceased horses who are respected. They can tell us prophecies and omens and guide us along the path of life until we join them. Their leader is Energy.
[*] The Underground Herd
They are not to be spoken of. They are horses who have murdered and done other horrible things to earn their place in The Underground Herd. They live in pain and regret forever.

Screenname: Snowcones Are Yummy
Horse's Name: Aston
Rank: The Main Stallion
Breed: A white/black appaloosa
Description: 
Personality: Proud, short-tempered, does not like to admit defeat. He is very proud of his herd and is not afraid to fight for territory, or expand his already wide territory. You won't see him back down from a fight, unless it means certain death for the herd. However being short-tempered and not easily impressed, he loves foals and mentoring colts. Not that he has anything against mares, it's just against the code for him to mentor a filly.
Crush: N/A yet, but you are free to fill in Aston as your horse's crush.
Family: His parents are deceased and he has no siblings.

Horse's Name:
valentine's day
Rank:
Elite
Breed:
Stockhorse x Arab
Description: 
Personality:
A very strong mare who can smile through pain. She bottles up all of her feelings inside, and when she can't take it anymore, she cries alone where no one will ever see her. She is usually seen with a smile on her face, but chances are, it's fake, and she's probably actually very stressed on the inside. She is kind and warm to others, and she is, overall, a very likable horse. She is very friendly and polite, and she smiles at everyone--even complete strangers. She is the one who makes peoples' days simply by warmly smiling at them. This mare is always cheerful and optimistic, but that's the type of front that she wants others to see. Sometimes she stares out into space when she is deep in thought. Her eyes gloss over and she is completely lost, but when questioned about what she is thinking, she usually just laughs it off and reassures them that it's nothing, when it is, indeed, something.

She pushes the hardest and tries her very best to be the BEST at training, but she feels her best isn't ever really good enough.

[*] The Longest River
A very long, long river. If you have long legs or are fast, then it's still long, but not as long. You get my point. Any two horses who are to run this whole distance are to be together forever, whether they're just friends or mates.
[*] Farmer's Garden
At night, we raid the garden for food. Not only is there vegetables but hay, salt licks, and a bucket of sugar cubes. We suspect they're for his horses, but we must take what we need for 'survival'. ;)
[*] Firefly Forest
A forest full of beautiful creatures. Butterflies with amazingly colorful wings and bright, bright fireflies. But we must watch out for deadly creatures such as wolves. We can probably take on a few with a few of us, but if you see a bear you must flee unless you have 4 or more horses.
[*] Clearwater Creek
A creek full of clear, healthy water, somehow. There is moss and herbs all around this area. It is very peaceful and quiet here, so The Powerful Knower and his or her filly or colt connect to The Eternal Peace Herd here.
[*] Clear Sky Trails
Paths coming from the beginning of our camp entrance to the tip of our territory. Basically to find food, water, and to walk and talk. Along the side there are clearings where fillies and colts train to be mares and stallions. Fillies and Colts also race down these trails for fun or for training.
