Feral Heart

The horses of outback. They live deep in the heart of the American wilderness, free to wander, eat and breed. Generations pass through this large and sacred herd, the solid power of being free pulsing through the blood of new-born's and charging into the veins of new recruits. Not a single horse wishes to be in the hand of humans and not a single heart string goes out to them.


There is a growing demand for horses and the Warmblooded popularity is booming. People are resorting to taming wild horses to become domesticated. This is successful, much to the dismay of the pure-blooded wild beasts. Most wild herds in America have become extinct and the bloodline ended via the horses being used for riding purposes only. Now, the only true wild herd left that has all the members intact is the 'Pure Oak Herd of the Solid Turf Gorge', or also known by the nickname 'Hooves of Rock'. These horses are agile, fearless and unbelievably strong. All horses within the herd are bonded for life, and departure of the herd is a sentence to death. The leader of the group is a Stallion by the name of  'Talon'; His full name, 'Sagittarius Talon'. Sagittatus means 'Barbed' in Latin. He leads the group to it's newest  goals and fires the fear into the hearts of predators. He protects and serves his herd to the best of his ability, but it all comes crashing down when a secret is unearthed from the long-loved herd, leaving them defenceless for the foolish humans.





Major: There is a major plot that is partly secret. I can only tell you some things to a extent. As i have told in the introduction, the humans are beginning to tame the wild horses for riding purposes. If the humans reach the Pure Oak Herd, it will destroy them and the generations of hard work to keep the herd pleased would have been for nothing. Talon has known a secret of the herd ever since he was made leader. He was strictly forbidden to tell anyone of this, and if he did, he would be sent to an early grave by one of the elders in secret. Talon swore to the heavens not to tell anyone, but the secret is unearthing itself as the heavens grow restless for the horses safety.

Minor: Minor plots are welcomed. If you wish to propose one, please say so. BUT they must be minor. Fires, death and such are major plots and i will not accept any major plots. (Minor plots include a love blossoming, a thunderstorm, etc.)




This is the main area where the horses live. Here, they drink, run, breed and feed. The scenery is beautiful from spring through to winter. It is a very easy living condition in all seasons but winter. No horse would survive here during the winter. During the spring the grass grows lush and the lakes thor out, leaving a very cool air around them. During this time the horses travel back to this area and the birth of foals occur and a new generation is born. They have plenty of food to eat and water to drink. This area is quite safe unless un guarded. The main predators that try to grab a meal here are wolves and on a rare occasion, bears. Wolverines sometimes wander through and pose no threat to the wild beasts. Bird flourish here and this causes a chorus of songs flow through the gorge at dawn and then at dusk.


This is the road the horses take to get to the bottom of the gorge and then to the top. This is a highly dangerous area for foals and adults alike. The dangers that lie here is the steep drop below. Everyone must be careful when crossing through here and they all must be in a single file. Horses have been known to fall, but this is rare, for they have all grow wise to know what precautions they should take. Mountain lions stalk on the rocks and rest in abandoned caves. Horses are vulnerable to their acts, as they could easily nudge someone behind in fright or aggression. Anyone, even the most stable of horses could slip and fall and even be eaten. Turning around here is not an option. Every horse in the herd  travel up here for the winter months. A walk to the top would be at least three hours.

The vegetation here grows on the low branched tree's, so it is easy to access without  having to waste time scraping up the snow. This is the top of the gorge where the horses stay during the winter months. They are quite happy here, for the rock provides warmth for them. There are small forests of pine trees and inside live quite harmless creatures. You very rarely spot any other predator than bears in the forest, and they prefer to catch a less feisty creature.






The Young (upto 12 months)
The Yearlings (24 months)
The Juveniles (Two years to four years)
The Mature (Four years to 12 years old)
The Ancient (The retired horses. They quit work at 12 years old)





The leader
The leader leads the group in the current affairs. He or she makes sure that the herd is safe, everyone does as they are told and also leading the herd to new spots. He or she keeps track of the weather and he or she leads them up and down to gorge in the winter and spring. He or she is responsible for any accident, for he or she has not checked the safety of the group. He is all the roles rolled into one. (Except the foals)

Deputy
The deputy is the second in command and is in a close bond with the leader. Both ranks must trust each other with their lives. He or she makes sure the leader has missed nothing and he or she makes sure that everyone is in order.

Scout
Scouts are the horses that patrol the area where the others rest or feed. They must be trust-worthy and failing to note about approaching predators or dangers will lead to a severe punishment. They also protect the herd with their lives, battling the predators until the death.

Healer
They have spiritual connections with the heavens and are able to heal the horses with the power of their mind. Being connected to the heavens, they are born with the gift and so are never able to rank up from their position. Every horse in the herd relies on them to aid the wounded.

Mothers/Foal watchers
These are the new mothers and so are ranked down from their original position until the foal is old enough to feed themselves. They look after their foals and others.

Foals
The new generation of horses. They play around and feed at free will. They have no care in the world and so they have a well needed childhood. They graduate for their position at the age of one year and four months.

Elders
The retired horses who live life without a care. They rely on the horses in the herd to keep them safe and to make sure they are okay. They are able bodied and are still like any other horse, but because of their age, they have retired so they can have a good retirement until they pass to the heavens.



✧Every horse must respect the leader. They must be willing to put their lives in his grasp.
✧Mothers must be by their foals side all the times. If your foal is missing, this must be immediately reported to leader.
✧Deputy/s must not make decisions without consulting the leader first.
✧No horse is allowed to breed without the leaders permission. This rule is needed to make sure no horse is expecting in difficult times.
✧Every horse is bonded to the tribe when they join or born. If a horse want's to leave the herd, they must be eliminated for Treachery.
✧Any problems in the herd must be alerted to the leader as soon as possible.
✧Every year when the horses climb to the gorge's top, you must be in a single file with the foals in the middle and scouts at the back. The deputy is behind the leader, who leads the herd.
✧Fighting in the herd will not be tolerated.
✧Failing to follow rules will end up in sever punishment or death.

I have seen many people use colours that i have not been able to identify. (Colouring in their text.) Could someone note all the possible colours that they know of here? I know some simple ones like *yellowgreen* and *lightblue*, things like that.
(If you do not know what i am talking about, example: [ color=yellow][/color]-> Blah)

Thank you c=

Hello there.

I have made this topic to bring up awerness of the rescue dogs and cats in local pounds and adoption centers. People breed dogs and cats, not for the love but for the money. Im sorry if there are dog/cat breeders reading this, but 10% of the puppies and kittens born, when they grow up, will be reduced to scrap on the streets or in rescue centers. Baby animals are cute and fun, sure, but if you buy one, make sure its for life. I have seen videos of people buying puppies for christmas and when they grow up, they are thrown away like garbage. Please let me hear your side of Rescue or buy, because there are many dogs in the centers that need homes, and if you want to buy a dog, please think of the rescue centers first. Me, personaly would never buy a puppy, but i would rescue one, and my family has always rescued dogs.

Please no hate or things like 'Puppies bring joy',  because think of the joy a rescue would give you, because they need a second chance in life.

Thank you for taking some time to read this. Comments of your thoughts would be great. xxx
