The Valleys are a horse paradise. They are protected from the strong winds that speed across the plains, with more food than the high mountains that surround them. The Valleys are a series of, well, valleys, that slip between the large mountains. Some are huge, with hills and forests and rivers. Others are smaller, just simple narrow passes to the larger refuges. But the largest of the valleys is the Valley of the Sun. A pine forest curves along one side, and a lake sits in the middle. Rolling hills, plentiful grass, it's the perfect place for a horse.
Until now.
A new town, a mining place, is starting up on the other side of the valley, here for iron and silver. The men swarm over the Valleys now. With their ropes and their Judas horses, they try and catch us. They always seem to need more horses and what extra they do catch, they can sell. But this is our home. So we're going to stay, and see who can last out here first.
Either you're with us, or with the humans.
So this rp takes place back in the 1830's, in Wyoming. So that means, no cars, no cell phones, no modern stuff. Just getting that out there now.
You can be one of three things. You can be a wild horse, that belongs to one of the herds. You can be a tame horse, that belongs to the humans. And you can be a human, living in town.
And just a few things about the herds:
1) One grown stallion per herd. He can be challenged by a bachelor stallion.
2) The lead mare decides where to go and keeps the herd in line. But even she doesn't push around the stallion.
3) The stallion has a right to mate all the mares in his herd. He can love a mare more than the others, but he is attached to all his mares.
4) Lone horses are more likely to be caught.
Okay, and rules. I know, I know, more boring junk, but just basic stuff.
1) WCRPG rules are my rules.
2) No cussing. It doesn't make you sound tough. It makes you sound stupid.
3) No stealing mares/challenging a stallion/catching a horse when the other horse is not on.
4) We can have multiple herds. Heck, we should! Makes it more interesting.
5) All horses, except tame horses, have to be mustangs unless you ask me and I approve of it.
6) Have fun! Oh, And I love to eat Pineapple.
