The skeleton of a stable stood against the midnight sky. It was raining as Boots walked up the walkway…or what was left of it. A sigh escaped her lips and she looked around. “It isn’t what I would call glorious.” She said softly looking at her best friend. With green eyes blazing “what do you think?” The soft reply shocked the girl.

“Well it has promise” A small mousy hair girl said and leaned against one of the many fallen stall frames. “I think this could be the best ranch there is..” She said tipping back her head to peer out from under the cowboy hat.

“Siren Avalon Molala….”She said softly “I think that is the kindest thing you have ever said” The blond girl laughed and racked a hand through her hair. She laughed again “If this is to be the biggest best stable in the world we will need to expand”

“Jemi Ottowa” A tan muscular boy looked up from his spot at the door. “Even if we only wanted a horse for each of us we will need to expand.” Jackie Taos was smart when it came to size issues. “I think before we move even our first horses here we should fix this stable up and then get a pasture finished.” He turned and faced the green eyed girl “What do you think Tammi?” Tammi Quapaw Was the most caring out of the bunch and tended to the horses as if they would fall over anything. She nodded

“Yeah sounds like a good idea.” She nodded “Yeah Then we can work on the other three stables and pastures…Then we can start up that breeding program..”


***

Jackie stood a hand on Tammi’s waste and a smile on his face. “Just one more nail and we are all finished.” HE nodded and let go of tammi and pounded the nail in. The sign shook as the hammer hit it and he smiled. And read the sign ‘WELCOME TO GOING FOR THE GOLD RANCH.’ He nodded. “Alright girls let bring the horses home.”

***

The announcement was a shocking one at best.”The winners of the racing competition are Taos’ Winter in july and Taos’ Mid-summa mornin” Jackie just smiled. The announcement went on. “And for the show jumping competition… Ottowa’s Misfourtune and Ottowa’s Flyin color” Jemi smirked the announcement continued “The winners in the drafting were Quapaw’s One step at a time and Qapaw’s Healing angel” Tammi turned and kissed Jackie. And for the dressage competition well it was molala’s Hidden and Molala’s Twist of fate”…..and the competition was on

The Ranch now!

Main stables

Ottawa-This stable is one of the widely know stables for show jumping A lot of champion horses Have accomplished great things out of this stable

Quapaw-This stables focous is mainly on Drafting. Although their drafting horses are the best around the have a few other well bred show horses.

Taos-This stable Is known for having the best race horses. They are the fastest around but also have a few fine show jumpers and a few others but it is one of the fastest stables around

Molala-And last but not least Molala fancys the fancy horses that preform in dressage. They have the best stock around and Usually produce the best in show horses. They have very weak racers though.. Too much frill.but other then raceing they are top notch.

Yuma- This is the stable that produces the best of the best trail horses. Meaning their horses are never skittish about nature or anything along those lines.

Hopi- THe best Cutting horses come from this stable. THey move so well with the cows its hard to believ3e they really are horses.

Minor stables

Bag
{~Unisex~}
Foal in training
{~Male~}~{~Female~}
GreenHorse
{~Male~}~{~Female~}
Champion
{~Male~}~{~Female~}

Bag-This is basicly an egg stage. The flap is the color the harness will be and other then that your horse is a surprise. maybe in the upcoming flats ill make the patches the color of the horse or something.
Foal in training-Your horse is out of its bag now and its time to train. Why... because we are going for the gold...*Bad pun...*
GreenHorse- YOur horse is a teen now and can start entering show. Good for it...ill tell you more about shows coming up but for now they may not be the best buts its good to start young.
Champion-Your horse isnow one of the top in the standings. very good. Now we are out to get ribbons. again you will hear bout that later. so now the males can go to stud and win the races ^^


Equestrian
Dressage-Its main purpose is to develop a horse's natural athletic ability and willingness to perform.

In eventing, the mane is always braided on the right. In competitive dressage, it is occasionally braided on the left. The forelock may be left unbraided; this style is most commonly seen on stallions

Show jumping- jumper classes are scored based entirely on a numerical score determined only by whether the horse attempts the obstacle, clears it, and finishes the course in the allotted time.

-Refusing or Running out at any fence:
-1st: 4 faults
-2nd: elimination
-Fall of the horse, the rider, or both: elimination
-Touches: If a horse touches a fence without knocking it down, zero faults
-Knockdowns: 4 faults.
-Foot in the water jump: if a horse lands with any number of feet in the water--4 faults.

Drafting-Drafting is where a horse usually of greater size pulls a cart about the ring showing of its strength and willingness to pull a cart. Its also a very dressy sport but not as much as dressage

Racing-This sport is to show off purebreed horses which are the fastest.
The things invalved are breeding, training and racing of the horses.

There are many dangers in horse racing for both horse and jockey: a horse can stumble and fall, or fall when jumping an obstacle, exposing both jockey and horse to the danger of being trampled and injured.

A stallion who has won many races will usually be put up to stud when he is retired. Mares are usually less success full though because they can only care one foal at a time

Trailing- THis is basicly cross country. Its your normal laid back horse that knows how to jump trees reandom wires and stuff like that...no poles invalved.

Cutting- this is where you and your horse go into a largw pasture and try to pull certin cows from the group

Ok Breeding can work one of three ways...Pasture breeding... selective breeding...and random(oppsy breeding)

~Pastured breeding~
Alright Pasture breeding cost 14k to rent the pasture.Paster breeding has to have had role play with it between the two horses. at least 3 roleplays in all...i prefer more but the minimum is 3. Pasture breeding recieves 2 foals...not bags...Foals becuse the mares dont have bags. Ok that aside.

Pastures for rent
Pasture one
~Closed~
Pasture two
~Closed~
Pasture three
~Closed~
~Selective Breeding~
Selective breeding to begin with gets you one foal. You pay 7k and You pick from my horses, any of the four studs or two mares i have. You will get the only foal and so on

~Mares~

~Oppsy breeding (Random)~
What happens is this one is free. No money exchanged sort of deal. Basicly you are asked if your stud or mare wants to be on the list of mares/studs for the random breeding. They have to be teen or up to have this and it is completely random. When i open the large pasture I will take up to 10 horse names and mix themup with my studs and mares and Then do a random nimber in the thread to see what happened. usually only one breeding will occure but sometimes two.

If you are interested in roleplaying please do so in this thread.But please if someone who comes to say hi arrives do not ignore him or her.Use your imagination,just keep in mind this is a Horse Stable.

Thats all I've got to say.Now onto the rules.

1.No cybering!Keep things clean,PG-13.If you must do this take it to pmor set up a journal and/or a rp thread for your characters
2.Respect each other.So he/she isn't a good as roleplayer as you,so what,if you're that good,you'll learn to adapt.
3.No fighting,it isn't in the nature of a Horses to fight unless over females but thes are show horses not some wild band o mustangs.But jealousy fights and such are okay but very rare.
4.No foul language,keep it Pg-13,I mean its just useless,look up a synonym book and find a better word.
5.No godmodding,that includes controlling other peoples characters.
6.If you do choose to roleplay do not use ** for actions,its really annoying.
7.Respect all these rules!

Shows

Every once and a while i will pos a show its how you acheive your ribbons. There are three rewards given out in each of the four classes.
Shows are every once and a while any one can participate if they have an animal over the age of foal.

If you dont but you still want to participate you can participate in the event with one of the stable horses. you can be entered in the trainer class.
The trainer class is half the amount of a normal ribbon so you have to have two to equal a ribbon for your horse.
