- Saul Stormbringer - 08-30-2011 [html] 18th August . 2pm . Broken Arrow Ranch . Optime Form The dappled grey creature had been in his possession for almost two weeks and he hadn't had a clue what to do with him. From what he could tell, the colt was roughly the same age as his own foal Arete, who was bordering on ten months by his reckoning. He wouldn't be able to give an exact date to her birth but he guessed it to be about October. He'd temporarily named the colt Storm and had been keeping him in the same stall as Arete. They'd become fast friends and stayed by each others side for a lot of their waking hours. Perhaps it was the fact that at the moment, they were the youngest in the barn. Or maybe it was because of Saul's choice to board them together. But they were on the same specialised feed that Adonia had designed for Arete to help put on weight and the male knew that his firey little foal would be good for the sometimes shy dappled colt. He'd made his first attempt just two days ago to breed Maia and Hermes together, a process that had taken a lot of patience on his part. Both horses were inexperianced, a little immature and completely unsure of what to do. It had happened in the end, but he couldnt be sure Maia was pregnant for a good few months. He'd kept her away from other stallions for now, sure she was still in heat by the way the others' heads moved in her direction when she walked by. She was allowed to stay with Hermes for the obvious reason that the deed had already been done. .freeba703 b {font-weight:bold; color:#e7e1d8; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #18130b; } .freeba703 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 16px; margin:0px;} .freeba703 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#203341; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/sZvvY.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #041521; padding: 0px 0px 170px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#afb8c0; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #203341; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13.3px; text-align:justify;} .freeba703 p b:before { content: open-quote; } .freeba703 p b:after {content: close-quote; } </style> 000+ [/html] - Gideon Stormbringer - 08-30-2011 [html] He had recently come out to the barns to have a look around, this being an area that he had known little to nothing about previously. Gideon had checked out the various animal that were kept in Ichika, especially the odd looking creatures that he’d heard about…the llama things. The male had gotten a nice, long look at them but hadn’t come too close to them before he had been distracted by another pack member who had needed help with her initiation task. The warrior had spent the rest of the day planting flowers, which hadn’t been as bad an experience as he had thought when Rendall had first asked for assistance.

Arete was an impatient filly and she hated it when others got attention. But Saul also knew that it was important for the colt to get used to others touching him, grooming him and the general trust he'd managed to create with Arete and Hermes. Maia was a different story but there was really nothing he could do about it other than spend a lot of his time trying to get her to trust him. He'd managed to convince her to let him close enough to slip a headcollar over her chestnur face and that had been enough to tie her to Hermes' saddle and go for a ride with the two of them. Riding the mare himself was going to take a while, but he could at least exercise her properly with this method. Using his left hand he stroked the black filly, taking a step towards her man friend. He tossed his head in the air with a snort but remained in place. With a grin Saul lay his palm cleanly on the colt's face, chuckling softly when the male allowed it. .freeba703 b {font-weight:bold; color:#e7e1d8; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #18130b; } .freeba703 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 16px; margin:0px;} .freeba703 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#203341; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/sZvvY.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #041521; padding: 0px 0px 170px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#afb8c0; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #203341; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13.3px; text-align:justify;} .freeba703 p b:before { content: open-quote; } .freeba703 p b:after {content: close-quote; } </style> 000+ [/html] - Gideon Stormbringer - 08-30-2011 [html]

Come to think of it, he couldnt remember ever seeing his brother around other animals, let alone horses. For a second he considered that his choice of owner was a bad idea but quickly dismissed it Even if Gideon chose never to rid the stallion, it would still belong to him. Since Saul caught him, he belonged to Saul. And now Saul was going to give him as a gift and he would be Gideons. To do as he pleased. Gideon approached and leant against the fence as Saul put just a touch more weight onto Arete's back. She was used to the treatement and stood still. It would take a lot more patience and trust for him to do this with Maia, who only really tolerated the headcollar because it meant she got to run properly. Gideon spoke and Saul grinned softly. .freeba703 b {font-weight:bold; color:#e7e1d8; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #18130b; } .freeba703 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 16px; margin:0px;} .freeba703 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#203341; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/sZvvY.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #041521; padding: 0px 0px 170px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#afb8c0; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #203341; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13.3px; text-align:justify;} .freeba703 p b:before { content: open-quote; } .freeba703 p b:after {content: close-quote; } </style> 000+ [/html] - Gideon Stormbringer - 09-06-2011 [html]

Saul could see in his eyes that he was trying to figure out something, a thought that was lodged in his brothers brain that wouldnt leave. He'd thought much the same of the llama's when Tawny had bought them home- they were good for guarding sheep but so were wolves. Their one redeeming quality was their wool which was a ridiculously soft and comforting texture and Saul hoped that Tawny would be able to somehow figure out how to make them into clothes. They would be good for any pups born here- the mountains provided little protection and in general Ichika was a very cold place to be. So perhaps their wool would make good clothing or blankets, which would be a better option. .freeba703 b {font-weight:bold; color:#e7e1d8; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #18130b; } .freeba703 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 16px; margin:0px;} .freeba703 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#203341; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/sZvvY.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #041521; padding: 0px 0px 170px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#afb8c0; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #203341; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13.3px; text-align:justify;} .freeba703 p b:before { content: open-quote; } .freeba703 p b:after {content: close-quote; } </style> 000+ [/html] - Gideon Stormbringer - 09-19-2011 [html]
