Post One: Out of Character Info and Stuff[/u][/color]
((Okay, so, this is open to anyone and everyone. You can use as many characters as you can keep up with, but to make it easier for other players to keep track, use a different color for each character. Humans are fine here, in fact they're encouraged. You can play as a human and their horse or horses, just a human, a few humans, a horse, horses, whatever; the more the merrier. Oh! Also, if you could give me a link to the description of each of your characters it would be appreciated as it will save space in the character section, and it will be less text for players to skim through to get to what they want to read.))

Post Four: Setting Description[/b][/color]
"Sunset Stables is a huge and beautifully manicured equestrian facility, and we are constantly growing. Not only do we have a vast amount of stalls for boarding horses here, but we also have breeding barns, and quite a few champion horses have come from Sunset Stables. We are also lucky enough to have some world renown trainers and a highly skilled vet living on the premises. Our extensive trails wind through lush wooded areas and bright clearings, perfect for a picnic and spending some calm quality time with your horse. You can also find a large lake if you follow the water drop shaped trail markers. Whatever drives your interest in horses, it is likely that we have just what you're looking for; we cater to just about every equestrian sport, so make Sunset Stables your home away from home."
((I may add to this as I see fit, but feel free to throw in a little scene setting of your own if you think there should be something around that I didn't mention.))

Post Five: Opening Post[/b][/color]
Ardelle had led Enigma out of his stall, but now she just stood by the barn doors. Her mind was still reeling somewhat; it really hadn't been that long since she had gotten this place up and running. A few months at best, and things were going surprisingly well so far. She really hoped she wouldn't wake up to find that it was all a dream.
She stopped? Why did she stop? Enigma nudged his human's shoulder questioningly. Sometimes he just didn't understand her, but it seemed she understood his nudge, and he followed her as she started walking again.
((Okay guys, all set to go.))

hi I'm not too sure how this works, I just joined... but here goes! I'm using two characters, one is a random guy I just made up... I'd like to focus the story on the other character rather than oh him... he is a strongly built man, around 50-ish, dressed in a dark sweater and jeans, he has a mean gaze... a rough voice and a rope on one of his hands. He's a thief but we're not supposed to know untill later ^^U
My second character is my mare, Etamin: allequineroleplay.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=bios&action=display&thread=115 She lives on a wandering circus and runs away now and then------------------------------------------------- A flash of gold raced before them as a yellow mare wearing a red collar galloped as fast as she could, her tail flaring in the wind like a silk flag... she stopped suddenly a few feet away from Ardelle and turned her delicate head to look at her... she was sweating and breathing heavilly, her green tinted eyes where wide open, her nostrills flaring... she looked scared... but not by the human before her, her gaze was allmost pleading.
(Hellp me... please.... I... I need a place to hide)

((No worries, you seem to have it)) Ardelle gasped as the streak showed up and then stopped by her to reveal a beautiful filly, "Oh goodness..." She could see that the young one had been running hard, and was likely scared, so she kept her voice gentle, "Easy there... calm down..."
Talk about something you don't expect to see. Enigma twitched his ears at Ardelle's tone of voice, and he knew she was trying to be soothing, but come on, she had him right there, why didn't she think to use him? Well, it didn't matter so much; he could take the initiative. Since he wasn't on a short lead, he stepped around Ardelle and closer to the other horse, Calm down... I don't know what you were running from, but whatever it is, it's not here. You'll be safe if you just let this human know that you won't freak out if she goes near you.

((yay I'm glad I'm used to more adventure-type RPs and I usually direct it that way... let me know if it's not what you'd like and I'll change it)) Etamin turned to look at Enigma and took a small step back, she lowered her head shyly, she didn't know what to say to the stallion... "but... he is comming this way... I... we.. we must hide...."
instead she turned to look at Ardelle and sniffed in her direction, keeping her head low.

((No worries, I can go with the flow on anything.)) Ardelle took that to mean she could approach, and did so, laying a gentle hand on the mare, "Come along, we'll get you cleaned up, and you can take a breather." She loosely looped Enigma's lead rope to a post, "Enigma, you stay here."
He understood that gesture, but his attention was on Etamin, "Go with her, whoever is coming won't get you in there. If it seems like you belong to one of the humans here, their human laws will probably protect you."

Etamin undersood what her touch meant and followed behind her shyly, she turned to look at Enigma and smiled "thank you" she was still tired but Enigma's calm demeanor and Ardelle's gentle touch soothed her, she sighed...
"WAIT!"
Etamin lifted her head and backed away at the sound of that voice, she snorted and paced impatiently but made no attempt to run away again.
A tall, heavly muscled man came running toward them, he was dressed in black and was carrying a rope, his eyes shifted here and there as he took in his suroundings... he seemed to be impressed by the facilities... his gaze held a hint of greed... "That is my horse, she just escaped from her trailer" He made a loop with the rope and began walking towards Etamin
"no! not him!" she backed away slowly, tossing her head and snorting... just as he lunged forward she slipped grafeculy out of his way and hid behind Ardelle

She was certainly surprised, but because the mare seemed afraid of this man, her guard went up, "Judging by her reaction, I'm not inclined to believe you..." And even if she does belong to him, he's probably cruel to her... "I'll not turn her over to you unless you can show me concrete proof of ownership. Until then, she will remain in my care."
As if to reinforce Ardelle's words, Enigma reared up, pulling his lead rope free, and lunged at the man, ears flat and teeth bared, though his intention was to scare, not connect.
"Enigma, no!" Though she fumbled a bit, she caught the end of the lead that flew by her, and brought Enigma back to her side, "Easy boy..." She then turned her attention back to the man, "It appears neither of the horses like you, and I quite agree. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave until you can produce official ownership papers."

The man quickly stepped back just as Enigma charged... he stummbled and fell... he glared at both of them from a sitting position... he gritted his teeth and was about to say somthing but tought better of it... he stood up and smiled to Ardelle
"oh yes, papers... very important, but... perhaps we could find another solution..." he walked close to Ardelle and reached into his pocket, he pulled out a wad of money "a reasonable young woman like you... all you have to do is hand over that mare, why should you care about a common animal like her, anway? you have many handsome horses already... " he pointed towards Enigma with his head
Etamin tossed her head and paced, unsure if she should leave her new friend's side or run from the man...

That was almost insulting. As if money was all that mattered, "I will not be bribed into overlooking legal matters." She pushed his hand aside and backed away from him, bumping lightly into the mare behind her, then looking over her shoulder to see and coo apologetically before narrowing her eyes at the man again, "And I think a better question is why should I not care about an animal in distress, regardless of the ones I have?"
Enigma's lead was held short now, but he had enough room to bump his shoulder to Etamin's in a gesture of reassurance, "You see? She'll make everything alright."

Etamin noded, she felt braver watching her, she pinned back her ears and stomped her hoof angrily while looking at the man, tossing her delicate head.
The man's face changed, he said trouhg gritted teeth "so be it... this isn't over!" he took one last glare at Enigma, hoisted the rope on his shoulder and walked away.
Etamin jumped in front of Ardelle and neighed angrily at the man as he walked away, her ears still pinned, she half-reared, pretending to be bigger and stronger than she was "And don't ever come back! hmmp!" she snorted and lifted her head high, trotting proudly towards Ardelle with her white tail lifted like a silk flag behind her.

"Well now, it looks like you brought me a challenge, oh golden one, but you're safe here for now. ...And if I'm not mistaken, Enigma here seems to have taken a bit of a shine to you." She bumped her shoulder good-naturedly against the stallion's and smirked.
If he could roll his eyes the way he'd seen many humans do, he would, but instead, he simply snorted and nudged Ardelle's cheek with his nose.
She giggled at that, and pulling some sugar cubes out of her pocket, walked slowly to lead the mare to the nearest paddock. Still, she worried about that man. This mare seemed so sweet, but she clearly didn't like that man, and since he hadn't exactly just given up, Ardelle would have to think carefully about what to do. In the meantime, however, she let Enigma trot into the paddock when she opened the gate, "Now, Enigma, you protect her if he shows up while I'm not here, got it?"
"Duh." But since humans couldn't usually hear their words, it was habit for him to back them with gestures, so he puffed his chest and tossed his mane.
