Welcome to Hotspur’s valley! Here, a place free from most predators, Hotspur settled. At first, he lived alone, before realizing the place was far too big and grand for just one stallion. So he decided he would go out and find mares to join him. As he contemplated everything, he decided that three or four stallions would be accepted in as well to work as patrollers and rangers, protecting the valley herd.

Should it grow to large size, Hotspur may let it break into two or more herds, each with its own lead mare and stallion in hopes of enforcing that the valley belongs to them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the most part, the herd has few threats. Due to the rugged edges of the valley, and hidden nature of the main entrance, few predators ever go in – man included. However, young solitary stallions can find their way in and often do, pressing borders with the herd and attempting to snag mares alone to seduce them. For this reason, Hotspur appointed a few colts to stay in the herd and patrol the herd to be sure this doesn’t occur.

There are sections of the river which are rapid and swift-moving.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Spring Valley is a deep gorge in the mountains with green carpets of grass and walls ranging from sheer cliff to steep, rocky inclines. In the North end, there is a large glade of tall pine trees with a pond in the center. Here, the herd often lounges about on hot days. In the Southwestern corner a sheer cliff which harbors a waterfall that falls into a pool. The water then flows down a rather small river which ambles through the whole territory. However, there are places in which the river speeds up and becomes rocky, the water turning to rapids and the current swift. This is a place Hotspur likes to avoid when foals are around.

Other than these areas, most of the valley is plains.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lead Stallion – Lead protector of the Herd, male

Lead Mare –  Leader of the herd, female, mate of Lead Stallion

Mares – Mares of the herd.

Rangers –  Three stallions who patrol the edges of the herd to chase off solitary males.

Rangers’ mares -  The mares chosen as the mates of the rangers – each Ranger has no more than three.

Bachelor Stallions – These are not herd stallions. While they do live in the valley, they are not Hotspur’s and they are not welcomed by the herd. They stay because of the obvious safety of the valley and, well, there are mares. Generally, unless it’s night, they stay away from the herd’s general proximity. However, they are allowed by me, not Hotspur, to try/succeed to mate with the mares as long as the mare’s owner approves. Just try to do this only sparingly, unless we want to make a conflict of it for a story of some kind.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: If a rule states “Hotspur forbids,” as the lower ones will, it is IC. This DOES NOT MEAN it’s completely unallowed, it means Hotspur will frown upon you for it/throw you out (Doesn’t mean you must leave the valley, you’ll simply be moved to the Bachelor Stallion Section if you would like).

1. No fighting OOC.
2. No sparkle horses, no exceptions.
3. Dark backstories are allowed.
4. No condescending comments – i.e., making a comment on someone’s character/render that may or may not be unpleasant, but certainly has undertones that suggest you believe you are far better than them.
5. Similar to the above, no passive-aggressiveness.
6. No whining if you try for lead mare and don’t get it.
7. Remember! IC rules are NOT the same as OOC rules.
8. Hotspur forbids mating between Bachelor Stallions and his mares.
9. Hotspur forbids the murder of herd members or bachelors.
10. Hotspur forbids foals from going near the rapids alone/if they are less than six months old.

Name: Brandon Nickname: Brad (Close Friends) and Brandie (Parents and Mate) Age: 2 years and 1 month Parents: Charlika & Romeo (c) Me Siblings: None Mare/s: Foals: None Rank Trying For: Ranger Stallion Personality: He has a Kind, Caring heart and a Brave, Lonely soul but is a right show off around mares and his curiousness around other animals, especially two legs, makes him not very wise. Bio: As a foal, he was born to Charlika and Romeo, and was Romeo's favourite son, because he was Romeos only son. He was best friends with 3 other foals named James, Harvey and Kayleb. One night some two legs came to stay in the land the horses roamed in, they were so stupid and young that they had a fire next to a sleeping bag, it burnt the camping area down, two legs and all and was reaching the herd. Luckily Harmen (Leader of herd) smelt the smoke, he raised his head and nieghed very loudly to alert the stallions to wake their mates; for the mares to grab their foals and run. Brandon got trapped there while the blaze burnt the forest around him, but a stallion woke him and toke him towards his herd. Brandon wanted to go home, badly but the stallion wouldn't let him go home. While the stallion was away, he left this herd to find his parents. In his teen years he found his old herd, but the leader would not accept him, when he said he was Charlika and Romeos son, he said they were dead. So Brad set off to find a new herd.

Here's just a form, Ill do a big bio when I make his character page XD. Name: Dustin Breed: American Mustang Age: 5 Gender: Stallion Rank going for: Ranger Personality: Dustin is a very calm and collected stallion. He prefers to talk things out rather than fight, but if he sees a threat he won't hesitate to attack. He's a good person to be around and it he can lift even the most downed spirit. How he met Hotspur: He met Hotspur during the first few days of the Spring Valley Herd. Hotspur himself had only recently aquired the valley. Dustin too had heard of the magnificent valley and had gone to check it out, only to find someone living there. So he decided to ask if he could be any help. Hotspur was surprised to see another stallion in the valley, but he accepted his help. design and render (c) Snoopy
