Event 4

I would like very much to offer you the love and support of me and my Stallion Raindancer should you choose to come home with us. With no other mares with us at the moment you would be a first and as such cherished. You would be able to run free in our pastures filled with soft sweet grass and drink from out freshwater stream and lake. At night, you can sleep under the stars or in a nice snug stable. Brushings are free, as are hugs and are given out in large measures, not to mention carrots and apple cares too. I am confident you could be happy with us if you care to try?

[Ravvana]

Lots of nice entries so far, everyone About 4 days to go!

[CutieePiee]

Event 4

I offer you a loving home on the luscious pastures of my farm-- miles to roam, plentiful grass to munch on, and a freshwater stream to quench your thirst. Since I have no other horses, my complete devotion is yours. You would have your very own cozy stable, filled with fresh hay and treats like shiny red apples, or green ones if you'd prefer. I'd brush you everyday and even put pretty ribbons in your mane. I assure you, your life would be fit for a princess!

Event #6: Writing

A fallen leaf swirled to the ground, gliding gently until the thundering hoofbeats of a horse galloped through. Behind him was a predator, one so fierce it had never been confronted. The horse, a dappled grey with eyes wide with terror, suddenly remembered his wings. They opened quickly, and the stallion soared into the sky, away from that horrid beast.

On and on he flew, never realizing the beast could not fly, that he was safe. Finally hunger won out and he landed without knowing exactly where he was. He stared at the hostile environment, so different from where he had fled from. Instinct told him to leave, and to leave immediantly, but he could not ignore the knawing pain in his stomach. Approaching a nearly withered apple tree, the stallion took a hard apple and ate it rather fast, not wanting the bitter taste to remain in his mouth.

Suddenly a jolt of pain shocked his very core! Nothing he had experienced before had ever caused so much hurt. He could not see what was happening to him, even though he could feel it. Then....nothing. The stallion had fainted. He awoke a day later, not feeling any different. Remembering he was not home, he fluttered his wings, or attempted to. They were GONE! A pegasus no longer, the stallion could not return home, and was doomed to live on that island until someone or something rescued him.

(yeah it's not that good, but I tried lol)

Uhm. . . i was word-y on Event 6.  ^^;;;; Sorry.  ^^;;;

Event 4:

Hawkings Crest has miles of rolling, open pastures, plenty of friends in the way of the Naa, some Kennel dogs, and a few other horses, all of who would love to make friends with this lovely, little mare.  We're still growing, so some day she can even have her pick of local studs! ^.~

Event 6:

Nestled deep in the hills that led to the Rocky Mountains, a picturesque valley hides its very existence through the heavy forests that cover the rolling landscape.  A waterfall pours down from the mountains, tumbling the boulders at its base but quickly settling into a swift-flowing, but generally gentle river for the valley's inhabitants until it falls off the far side into another and more dramatic waterfall leading into the great unknown.   

Living idyllically, a large herd of horses spends their days grazing and bickering good-naturedly among themselves.  They have always been content here; there are a few dangers, but, standing together, they have always managed to best them. 

Taigyou was born in this life; he lived each day carelessly, impudently.  He teased the mares, chased the colts, eyed the role of lead stallion with a disdainful snort.  Too much responsibility for this carefree boy with a wild air.  He didn't want to lead; he wanted to frolic and dance.

The day that changed his life dawned inconspicuously.  The world was as it had ever been; spring was in the air, the mares were showing the new life quickening within them, and the few foals were already pressing their stamina in play.  The snow was melting away, giving their river a burst in speed and strength and a lovely chill that could freeze the brain if drunk too quickly. 

Taigyou cantered to the river, tail flagged and head held high, watching as two of the foals awkwardly splayed their legs to test the temperature.  He couldn't tell if it was an accident or on purpose, but the bay overbalanced suddenly as his equally young friend snapped desperately for the black tail.  The bay tumbled into the icy cold water, letting out a high-pitched whinny of terror as his head dunked under once, twice.

The stallion didn't hesitate, throwing himself into the water swiftly and cutting downstream and across to cut off the colt's path down the swollen river.  Fear threatens his slowly chilling limbs as the colt continues to scream out his fear.  But the stallion managed to—somehow—get downstream of the foal and relief rushed through him as the bay bumped into his side and Taigyou could force his path closer, closer to the shore. 

They were almost there, almost to safety when one of the mare's shrilled a warning.  Taigyou's eyes rolled white as he caught sight of the large tree limb barreling down the river towards them; it must have come from the mountains and, even now, its speed seemed only to increase.  In desperation, Taigyou got the foal in front of him, dipping his head into the water and lunging forward and tossing his head at the same time, flinging the colt away from him and closer to the shoreline as the multitude of branches slammed into his side.  They closed upon him like a cage, tumbling him under the waves for long, heart-stopping moments, then tossed him partially back out, too entwined to get free.  The horse, still captured, fought desperately to break the water-logged branches, but though they had give, they didn't move enough for him to get out.  They swept downriver, faster and faster, and Taigyou watched in fear as the other waterfall loomed closer and closer until whoosh!  He was swept over the side and down with the tumbling waves. 

He would not know for several hours that the very branches that had caused his downfall would also save him from death; breaking his fall just enough that he could wash ashore with bruises and cuts, but no injury more serious than that.  But when he did wake, he was far from home and there was no way to return.  Taigyou was removed from his world, but it was at a cost that he could never regret.

So rushed and so not good but wanted to enter at least one event

[Wolfs Fang]

Event # 4: Bribes

Hello, paint mare. I really don't know your name as of yet, so I'll call you that for now. Paint, if you come to live at my stables, I'm sure that you will be happy there.
But I'll be honest with you. I can't give you the finest oats, the best stable, or a diamond-studded halter. I can't, because I don't have any of those things. I have a small pasture, and fairly decent stalls, and a pond, and no horses as of yet. So I don't really have much. But there is one thing I can offer you- A home. A home where you will be treasured, where you be cared for, where you can live. It may not be much, but it's all I have to offer.

[BabyKittenCandy]

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

Event #6:
At the mere mention of apples, the stallion's mouth started to water... so perhaps Silvanon's interpretation of his past was indeed reality?

In all seriousness, Silvanon's story was selected because it was original and actually made me laugh out loud a few times. Such as: "Mushroom couldn't imagine there'd be anything about any apple that he wouldn't like.  This was because Mushroom's imagination was rather limited." In addition, it clearly times back in to Silvanon's stable, as its motto is, "Our horses like fruit. A lot. And trees."

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

Wolfs Fang and CutieePiee, let me know what you'd like to name your new horses. Silvanon, I am naming your boy Mushroom to fit the story, unless you have a strong preference for another name.

Pick-a-door will be coming later tonight! It will be the final event of our birthday celebration
