    Capriana's ears swiveled towards the back of her when she heard an unfamiliar voice. She quickly lifted her head and spun around to face the owner of the voice. It was a mare but not one from this herd. She took a step back, wary of the new mare despite the friendly tone she used towards her. Capriana despite not knowing or trusting this mare completely gave a small smile and dipped her head as in saying a polite 'hello'. She glanced at Sarabi hoping she could handle the situation since she was in charge. Once she confirmed the other mare was busy she decided to suck it up and talk to the mare again. "You're not from this herd. Why are you here?" The mare looked pretty young kind of slim. She probably wasn't born inside another herd.

    o


    Sarabi lifted her head, noting a new smell. A mare that wasn't of the herd. She flicked her ears and glanced at Vanyle "Looks like we have a visitor, would you like to accompany me?" She asked, as she headed towards Capriana and the unknown mare. Her red coat flashing softly in the sun as she moved to the other mares side. "That is an excellent question." She spoke, her voice slightly stern "What is your name?" Her blue eyes studied the unknown mare.

    Name: Sam Age: 10 Gender: Lead Stallion Mare(s): FireFly Foals: None atm

    Display Spoiler


    Sam realize he should have picked a stallion (sorry i forgot Sarabi was female, trying to put a male in charge) "FireFly, HOLD ON!" he yelled as he galloped back "Vanyle! You are in charge, sorry Sarabi, my mind is bit off track right now" truly he said. He galloped back at FireFly and caught up to her, and circled her, to make her stop, because there was no direction for her to go in. "So, whats next my love" He said as he winked at her.

    OOC: Dark could I make Poppie an elder mare of the herd?

    Name: Mellie Age: 3 years Rank: Lone Mare


    [justify]The paint mare shifted nervously as two more horses joined the grey mare. Slowly she took steps back, making ready to bolt away. Specially now that the stallion was close by and he would smell her. She looked over her shoulder to check the area. "N.n.no...I'm..." Ok, she wasn't ready for this and whipped around, bolting away as fast as her legs could carry her. [/justify]

    Name: Firefly Age: 10 years Rank: Lead Mare


    Firefly did not hear Sam for she was already at the breeding grounds waiting on Sam. Tossing her head, she half reared up and nickered as he came into view. "What took you so long?" She walked around him slowly, nibbling and teasing in different places on his body. "You know you should never leave a mare waiting..." She moved to his side, licking and nibbling his shoulder. Her creamy tan tassel flicking back and forth, whiffing her scent into the air around him. With a soft laugh she bumped her hip against his. "I'm waiting..." She cooed softly.

    Name: Vanyle Age: 6 years Rank: Herd Stallion


    Vanyle's ears flicked forward as Sam came running back. He jerked his head in a nod and looked at Sarabi. "Sorry, Sarabi..." He stretched out his neck and touched her shoulder lightly. His head turned sharply as the scent of a strange mare tickled his nose. "Of course, if I didn't Sam would have my head." He chuckled, following her toward the water. Seeing the paint mare, his ears went forward, but seeing how nervous she acted, he chose to let the mares handle it. Of course when the lone mare took off, he shook his mane. "Well that was short lived." Vanyle looked over at Capriana with a soft nod. "Has she been here before, Capriana?"


    Sarabi nodded her head, rolling her eyes at the antics of Vanyle and Sam. "It's not a problem...and that's true..." She murmured softly. Her ears flicking, she turned her gaze to Capriana, and nodded to the other mare, her Strawberry Red Roan coat gleaming in the sun. Her eyes sliding to Vanyle, she liked this stallion. He was humorous yet stern when he needed to be.


    OOC: Deluxe yes of course, but maybe make her a few years older.

    "Oh love, I'm so very sorry" Sam said as he pushed his chest against her rump. He winked at her. He circled her a couple times, licking her nose, then once again back at her rump. He nibbled at the top of her rump and stomped his foot at the ground. Quickly he jumped up and mounted


    *Fade*


    Sam dismounted from his mare, his body all sweaty. He shook it off, then began grooming his mare. "Well, shall we be going my love?" Sam insisted as he signaled his head in the direction back at the herd. As he went back, he looked at Vanyle and nodded his head at him, letting him know he's back, then nickered just to make sure he was aware. He looked back at his mare "So FireFly, about the whole foal thing, when it happens...or even if it happens, what would you like to name him/her." He said, licking her shoulder, removing some sweat.


    OOC:
    Okay,
    im gonna be completely honest, i think there should be some more stallions involved, so here is my new mare.
    Hopefully yall will make a stallion. 2 more spots open for a stallion



    Name: Nefirti Age: 5 Gender: Mare Stallion: None Foals: Wants In Heat/Out: In


    Nefirti walked around the herd, she looked over at Vanyle and gave a smile, she was shy and had a big 'crush' on him, but he seemed more interested in another mare at the moment, she stared and stared, but at the same time, hoped he would look at her.


    Sarabi flocked her ears as Sam returned then glanced at Vanyle. Her eyes gazing at him intently, before she gave him a gentle nip on his shoulder, soft and loving. Then the mare turned and trotted a bit off, hoping the stallion would follow. She really liked Vanyle, and hoped he liked her back, so she became daring and flirtatious. The Arabian flicking her ears and tossing her mane, her strawberry red roan coat glimmering in the sunlight. "You coming?" She asked softly, as she was headed towards the mating grounds.

    Name: Nefirti Age: 5 Gender: Mare Stallion: None Foals: Wants In Heat/Out: In


    Nefirti watched Sarabi trot off, she thought it was her chance to get to Vanyle, but no, Sarabi wants him to go with her. She galloped over and bared her teeth at the mare, and regretted it right after, her shy face went down.


    Sarabi snorted at the angry mare. She turned her head, and trotted to Vanyle, nipping his shoulder no neck gently before she waited to see how he would react. It was his choice, and in all honesty, he had been flirting with her, so she'd let him decide. Her ears flicked around warily. She was still on guard, but knew that after those bold moves hopefully Vanyle knew she liked him back. The Arabian would not fight this mare over a stallion, fighting was not her style at all.

    [img width=510 height=338]http://images.forwallpaper.com…utiful-dappled-grey_p.jpg[/img]


    "Hmm, that was odd...But this is the first I'm seeing of her." Hummed the grey colored mare. She shook her mane out her eyes watched as Mellie ran off. The mare looked very shy and a bit awkward. She shrugged and started to turn and graze until she heard the pounding of hooves. She looked over to Nefirti who bared her teeth at Sarabi. She was confused at why until she shifted her gaze over to Vanyle. She snickered, she somehow found it kind of funny. She decided to go back to grazing and not continue to watch the two mares any longer.

    Deluxe maybe make a new stallion that is a younger age, im trying to keep the stallion's below 11. And yes a stallion can have more than 1 mare, i would say at least 3-4 maximum.

    OOC: If a stallion can have more then one mare (in the herd?) then i don't see why Vanyle can't have Sarabi and Neferti. Deluxe said she doesn't really want to make a stallion...that she wants to stick with her two mares.

    Name: Firefly Age: 10 years Rank: Lead Mare


    Fire flicked her tail in his face and pushed back against him. As he dismounted she looked back at him and lipped at his nose. She nosed at his neck and lightly groomed the sweat from his coat. "I suppose we should...but plan on coming back here again, Sam. I want to be sure to catch this season." She bite his shoulder before cantering back to the herd, shaking her mane a bit. "We'll see." She smiled at him. As she went to the water she saw the two mares fussing over Vanyle and gave a very loud snort, pinning her ears back. "Ladies, back off. Vanyle is a grown stallion, strong and cable. If you can't share then perhaps Sam should be the father of your foals this season." She walked over to them, pushing her way between them. "Now, if you both want Vanlye then you will have to take turns. And since I recall seeing the stud talking to Sarabi before we left, she gets him first." She nodded to Sarabi then looked at Neferti. "Your a beautiful mare, but don't be so pushy." She touched her muzzle to the mare's shoulder. "There is plenty of time." Firefly moved away from Neferti and walked over to Capriana, touching her shoulder lightly. "What about you, Capriana?" She lifted her muzzle up slightly sniffing the air. It was that lone mare she smelled and if she could smell her then Sam would too. Since she didn't see her around, Fire let it go for now.

    Name: Vanyle Age: 6 years Rank: Herd Stallion


    The stallion was relieved to see Sam and Firefly back, now he could turn his attention to the lovely red roan mare. He tossed his head, pranced forward to follow her, ears up and alert, excitement coursing through his body. He stopped and stared at Neferti for rushing over to Sarabi and shook his head. "Hey wait..." He snorted, before turning toward Firefly with a tilted head. His heart already belonged to one mare, but he didn't see why he couldn't love both of them. He went to Neferti and nuzzled her shoulder. "Don't go anywhere." Quickly he turned and trotted over to Sarabi and nibbled on her hocks to get her moving. "Let's go before Sam takes you away from." He chuckled, nibbling and teasing at her rear.


    Sarabi gave Vanyle a gentle look, nodding to her lead mare in agreement. The Arabian mare was hardly one to fight for anything. She was a kid, and gentle soul, but could be stern if she needed to be. She refused to let anything ruin her mood. She glanced at Neferti and gave a half rear to show she agreed with her lead mare, before taking off again, teasing Vanyle as she went. Her piercing blue eyes shine with excitement, in all honesty no stallion had shown interest in her before so she let it slide, until now. She arrived at the mating grounds,, trotting then slowing to a walk, her sides covered in a slight sheen of sweat.

    OOC:Poppie will drop a colt... and I guess Mellie can too...

    beautiful horse!


    [justify]Mellie slowed down as she faded into the trees. Sighing she turned around to look behind her. The stallion didn't follow her, but she was no longer safe. The three of them saw her and even spoke to her. They would surely tell theirs leads about her. How long was she going to stay like this? Sooner or later one of those stallions would find her and force her back to the herd. Drawing in a deep breath, she looked around her, nostrils flaring at the scents in the air. Dark blue eyes grew wide...this was a breeding ground and two of the horses were coming this way. Quickly she departed, but wasn't sure where to go. "Ugh, Mellie, you need to grow a back bone!" She commented to herself as she started back toward the water, walking out in the open where the herd could see her. She stopped a good distance away and checked all around for an escape...just in case.[/justify]




    Name: Poppie Age: 18 years Rank: Elder Season: In/out (last one)


    [justify]Poppie stood in the water, silently watching everything unfold before her eyes. She lowered her muzzle down to drink. Her only reaction to the lone mare was a flick of an ear and brief look her way. She didn't even respond to the two young mares fussing over Vanyle. However when Firefly came upon the scene she smiled. That mare has turn out to be a great lead, one that Poppie would follow till her last breath. Slowly she waded back to dry land, shaking over the water and stretching her legs. Time had been kind to her but she knew this would be her last season. She had dropped many foals and one more was all she really wanted anyway. Slowly she walked over to Sam, lightly bumping against him. "Afternoon, Sam." She said in a soft voice as that she wouldn't interrupt Firefly. "Why not let Fire handle this and take a walk with me."[/justify]

    Capriana shook her head when the lead mare spoke to her. She didn't know if she was ready to have foals yet and she wasn't sure who she even wanted foals with. She looked up at Firefly before saying, "Well earlier you see, there was a lone mare that showed up out of nowhere then she ran off. She looked super shy...she's probably not too far though." She wanted to let the mare know just incase something happened or if she showed up again. (Is Melie out at the mating grounds or where everyone else is?)

    Name: Vanyle Age: 6 years Rank: Herd Stallion


    OOC: gonna speed this up just a little.


    Vanyle tossed his head and following the mare happily. He bucked a few times as he galloped just a little past her. Turning around, brown eyes shining bright, he lightly groomed her coat, removing the sweat and making her shine like a ruby. Slowly he worked his way toward her flanks and teased at her tail dock. Lightly he bumped his chest against her before rearing up with a gentle mount.
    FADE
    Vanyle took his time with Sarabi, giving her the best chance to catch. His breath was a little ragged and his dark seal brown coat was shimmering with sweat as he slowly dismounted and rested his head for a moment on her back, with his eyes closed. As soon as he was breathing normal, he started to lightly groom her but left some of his scent on her so other stallions would know she was taken. "As beautiful as a red sunset." He mumbled in her ear.
