Rhiannon is one of Calydor’s many foals. She is sweet and gentle. She is always in a good mood and very optimistic. Much like her halfbrother, Alyan, she continuously asks questions. She loves to learn. Not everyone is always pleased with her questions, but they are usually patient with her, for the most part.
Her mother is Neyla and she gets along best with Samir and Laylani.

Seladon is one of these horses that goes by many a name. She is called Sel, Sela, Dom, Dommie and Sedlie. She is a calm and gentle Pinto Mare. She is soft and sweet and an ideal horse for beginning riders that are already too tall for ponies.
She is training in all Western Disciplines, but is best at Trail and Racing. She is hard working and obedient. She prefers verbal commands over physical command, which makes her excellent for private lessons. She is also used for riders who have difficulty with their posture in the saddle, as she tends not to react too heavily to it.
She is also sociable, but a rather submissive horse. She is gentle to other horses and tends to let them boss her around if they are so disposed. Her meadow friends are Peppa, Daphne, and Menhit.
There are no plans of breeding with her as of yet.


Seladon, usually called Seldie, is a member of the Wild Herd. She has a rather low status, because she is shy and non assertive. She keeps to herself and doesn't get involved in the politics of the herd. She associates only with her family and the few friends she has.
The friends she has in the herd are Aisha, Zoe and Peridot. They do stick together quite fiercely and stick up for each other’s interest if push comes to shove.

Squilt is a little sea turtle that lives in the reefs of the mermaid court. He is very sociable. He loves to play with the other sea creatures and even hangs out with the mermaids. It is not known who his parents are, since he just hatched from an egg on the beach and found his own way to the reef.
His best friends are Dwebble and Robbie, but he also gets along well with Sea Unicorn Maluri when she comes down under the water to him.

Very Much Belated Post for 6 May ‘20


Maluri is a sea unicorn mare with a slight reputation. She is known to be wild and whimsical. Unlike her kin, she spends a lot of time under the surface. She predominantly hangs out with Squilt, the dolphin young and Luana. Many a mermaid says that Maluri and Luana are in love.
Maluri is Shiera Seastar’s sister and she feels like Shiera is the prettier sister. Naturally the opinions on this are divided.

Bjorn is a fierce warrior bear who lives in the frozen lands of Frostalgo. He is strong and brave. Many of us admire him and the bear cubs all wish they could be like him. He is open in talking to everyone and helping where he is needed.
He is vast friends with Calhoun as well as Ursus. He regularly meets with them to discuss the goings on in the valley. He will fight with us against the beastlings. Of that, I am sure!

Darena is a sweet and clever StarFae woman. She is a very active stargazing and can predict the future somewhat by the stars. She is very friendly and ready to be everyone’s friend. She is knowledgeable on a lot that goes on in the valley and she is sociable with many other species. She is especially kind to the unicorns and even tries to befriend Royal Unicorn Mare Valyria, whom she admires for her truth dreams.

The pitter patter of little hooves can be heard all over the valley. The young unicorn foals are making friends. They are running to and fro in grassy hills. It is a joy to behold. Alyan is at the helm of the little troupe. He tells the tallest tales and races for the hardest. He is always winning because he is the biggest foal.
He, Yuuki and Seafoam are doing their best to impress Tessie. They are practising for when they are grown stallions and a new mare will find our valley. Though I do wonder, silently and to myself, if one of them truly aspires to be mated to Tessie. She has great potential and is fresh blood in our valley, after all.

I doubt the younglings are very aware of the nature of their behaviours. It is instinct after all.

For now, it is a joy to watch them play. And play they will, for they are young and they know nothing of the pain of our world right now. I hope we can protect them. They are our future.

Carl is a very special Alpaca. He has a growth disorder and has already grown to a disproportionate size. Vet Lievenhart is in contact with the University Vets in Utrecht to find the correct growth-stoppers. He suspects Carl will have health complications from his size. For now, though, Carl seems reasonably healthy. Vet Lievenhart checks on him every other week.


Carl is an Alpaca who escaped from Man beyond the Fog. He’s accidentally eaten magic seeds and now will never stop growing. He is already much bigger than his fellow alpaca’s back at Man’s farm.
He is doing his best to make friends in our Valley. Especially Ezeltje-Strekje and Haasje-Repje seem to like him.

Dom is an energetic and strong Quarter Horse stallion. He is a horse available to experienced riders who can handle a horse who is eager to work but oft has too much energy for his own good. They can take him into the area. Licensed riders may also take him to the forest or the village. He is a western oriented horse, being very good at barrel racing and reigning, but also at cutting. Trail and pleasure are oft too slow for him.
In the meadow, Dom loves to race around with the other stallions. He sometimes gets into small scraps over dominance, but never gets himself injured, he is not the most dominant of stallions either way. His best friends are Armani, Viserys and Goov.
He has seven brothers, Dickon, Dustfinger, Gale, Inkheart, Randyl, Prince Charming and Tamaris.


Dom is a member of the Wild Herd led by Tyr and Ares. He is of a medium rank and not of special reputation. But he is friendly and open and well liked, overall. He has no trust for the Fae, for they have stolen his older brother Tamaris away. He is open to other herds, but not goes out of his way to socialize with them.
He has seven older brothers, Dickon Dustfinger, Gale, Inkheart, Randyl, Prince Charming and Tamaris and four good sisters, Athene, Anna, Nuala and Lenore. This makes him uncle to Gilly, Muis and Penelope.

Serta is a new addition to the stables. She was a gift to Laura and Lisa, who are very happy with their new little lamb. She has only just been weaned and is not at all shy. She loves to be cuddled by the twins. She doesn’t go in the pen with the other sheep yet. Once she is bigger and her health has been cleared by the vet, she can join the other sheep.


Serta lives on the Lake side farm, with Man beyond the Fog. She was raised with the bottle and is very comfortable around Man and their young. She may never see the valley.

Boann is a Pinto yearling. She is born to Dark Watcher and a donor stallion. She has already been weaned a while ago and is separated from her mother. She lives in a large stable with the other yearling mares.
She is being trained by the stablehands and reacts very well to it. She is very snack oriented, but also very clever and learns quickly. The stablehands really like working with her.
In the meadow she is a calm but playfully young mare. She is sociable to all other fillies and has many friends.


Boann is officially a member of the Septuplets herd. But her mother was ousted from the herd for bonding with a Fae. So Boann was born in the Fae stables and grew up there.
Now that she is a year old, she officially has to return to the herd. However, she still lives with her mother and does not seem to be very eager to return to the herd.
Her mother is Dark Watcher. It is not known who her father is, but we suspect he has fallen victim to the beastlings.

Joi is a shy and socially selective Pinto filly. She is only a few weeks old and he spends all of his time close by his mother’s side. When she has to leave for a while, be it for a vet visit or for new shoes (she doesn’t ride out yet), she whickers loudly until she comes back to him. She is a real mommah’s girl.
In the meadow, if she ventures out a few inches from his mother’ shadow, she tends to stick by her like glue even around his friends, she does tend to be sociable. She gets along best with Pyo, Eden and Milktoast.
Joi’s mother is Patty and she is sired by a donor stallion.


Joi is a member of the wild herd. She is a very young filly and she still spends all her time by her mother’s side. She is still very shy and does not really interact with the other herd members yet.
Her mother is Patty, but it is not known what her father is called. He was likely a victim of the beastlings.

What we discovered

We have more new friends in the valley. We already knew that there were more creatures in the tallwood jungle. But now we have been informed that the beasts living in the jungle are named Saiken and SplinterKat DarkHeart. It is not sure what type of creature Saiken is, but there is something goatish in it. SplinterKat is a shadowpanther with deep jungle powers.
SplinterKat has let it be known he is very willing to work with the other heroes. He is open to venturing out of the jungle to meet the leaders of the fight. Alas, there are not yet any leaders. Mayhap soon we will be able to appoint leaders soon, or perhaps SplinterKat will prove a good leader. Only time may tell.

Sloffie is the stables donkey gelding. He is as stubborn as can be. He gets into a lot of mischief and amuses the stablehands with his odd antics. He sometimes gets a little wild, but much less since being gelded. He can now also go into the meadow with the other donkeys.
Delilah tends to try to be the boss of him, but she does not succeed. Sloffie has gotten very good at ignoring everything around him. He is very stoic and lazy. The stablehands have to work hard to get him to comply
By Delilah, Sloffie has two foals, Piotr and Nononono.


Sloffie lives with Man beyond the Fog. They keep him as a beast of burden. They recently gelded him because he was a bit too aggressive. He’s lost that now, but is still very stubborn and lazy. Though man makes him work very hard every day.
With Delilah he has two foals, Piotr and Nononono.

Arne is Jolien’s mixed breed puppy. He is half border collie and half german shepherd. He is very clever and needs to be engaged almost 24/7. So when he is at the stables, he tends to get into trouble. Jolien does not bring him over all the time, but rather often all the same. People really have to keep an eye on him to make sure he does not run away or scare the horses. Jolien has been reprimanded for not minding him before.


Arne lives with Man beyond the Fog as a shepherd dog in training. He has a lot of learning to do, but he is eager and very curious. He learns quickly and Man praises him a lot and often. The sheep do not like him, because he is lud and thinks them stupid. But then again, Man does not have him to be liked by the sheep. They have him to keep the sheep on their land.

You have the pup from the new Horse Show Set!
What a wonderful story about this little Arne, and you've got the breed just right, I would say Border Collie cross German Shepherd too! Or maybe there would be some Jack Russell in this little pup as well!
You are so lucky to have him, I am desperate to find this model as it only came in the huge and expensive set, along with the White Chihuahua which only comes in their horse carriage set! I think I'll have to wait until he pops up separately for sale on Ebay in a few years time!
It is so wonderful to see this variation up close, he is very sweet! I just hope that Schleich don't make too many more huge sets with dogs in, because it becomes so hard to collect!
But it is amazing that you have him, he is gorgeous!

Maximilien is a handsome Lusitano stallion. He is a boarded horse, owned by a forgein woman who barely speaks any Dutch. She is very busy and only comes by once or twice a month. The care of Maximilien is left to the stablehands, who love him dearly. Especially Tinka is very fond of him.
Maximilian has a few show prizes to his name, but is rather difficult under the saddle. If the stablehands exercise with him it is usually natural horsemanship, seeing how he loathes the treadmill. Though he is very complacent at a lunging rope.
There are plans to ask Maximiliens owner if he can cover one of the mares at the stables, but it is not yet determined which. But of course we hope his owner is in favour.



Maximilien is a member of the sextuplets herd. He is one the most eligible bachelors of the entire herd. But for now, he does not seem to fancy settling down. He is satisfied with charming the mares in the herd for the time being.
He is sociable and kind and well liked, even by members of other herds. He is very much in favour of the herds working together. He has friends in other herds, under which Icedust and Felix.

Mercedes is a boarded Tennessee Walker Horse Mare. Her owner is Jolien and she comes over a lot. She takes care of Mercedes herself most days and rides with her in the arena or the woods.
Jolien brings Mercedes out in low tier dressage competitions. Mercedes does not have the best form, but her trotting is stunning to see. Jolien does it especially because she enjoys it. And Mercedes seems to enjoy it, too.  
Mercedes is a dominant mare and usually is not allowed in the meadow with other horses. She is very bitey, especially to smaller horses. Due to this Jolien usually rides alone.


Mercedes is a member of the wild herd lead by Tyr and Ares. She is a low ranked member. She is a very snarky mare and does not make herself well liked. Even though the other mares do not exclude her, they also don’t get out of their way to include her in their social activities. She lives on the fringes of the herd.
She is not mated.

Ed is a fierce foe to all that live in the valley. He has made many a victim. Everyone fears him, save for the bravest among us. He must be dealt with and soon. But he continues to evade even the dragons. We must be very cautious as long as this fiend is around. The hero’s shall have to be fierce when they come upon him. May strength favour them.

All these new friends

Even more new friends have turned up in our valley as of late. And we have welcomed them all with open hearts.

Many young unicorns have rather mysteriously appeared in our valley. They are all rather young and smell strangely of all sorts of fruits. They are friendly but still very shy. We want to make them feel as welcome and at home as we possibly can.
For now the younglings have been taken into the unicorn herds, most of them with Calydor. May they soon feel at home in the herds.

Currently we are trying to find out where the youngling came from, but so far without success. Mayhap they appeared magically. Or they were secreted into the valley. Newt is flying out to seek information and the other dragons have been listening for songs on the wind.


The younglings are polite and gentle. Who ever raised them, did a good job. We are very happy to have them in our valley and hope to find out more about them soon.

Fitzroi is a Simmental Bullcalf of almost a year old. He is already weaned and independant. Most of his time he spends in the meadow. He only is brought into the stable when the weather is bad. He is pretty okay with this.
A lot of times he’s allowed to play with the donkey’s or the goat kids, which he really likes. He gets along very well with Piotr especially. Together they can get very hyper. It is very cute to see them romp around.
Fitzroi’s sire is Napoleon and his dam is Fille. He has two siblings, Jimmy and Kika.


Fitzroi lives with Man beyond the Fog. He is a young bull calf. Man keeps him to be a breeding bull when he is an adult. Of course right now he has no notion of that. He is allowed to play in the meadow without worries. He has very little to worry about. But he seems one of the only ones.
Fitzroi’s sire is Napoleon and his dam is Fille. He has two siblings, Jimmy and Kika.

Tessie is a new face in our valley. She and her parents only recently arrived here. Where they hail from, we do not know. They are very tight lipped about it. Otherwise they are very friendly. They are the Unicorns of the Refracted Light. According to what the dragons have been able to find out, they are close relatives to the Rainbow unicorns.
Tessie is a young and very sweet filly. She is polite to everyone she meets. She is a true delight. Most of us have already taken her into our heart.
She loves to learn, but never imposes. She is also slowly making friends. Especially Alyan, Seafoam and Yuuki are very eager to get to know her. Colts will be colts, I suppose. Tessie herself seems a little more keen in the new fruit scented foals. She loves the smell of them and to frolick with them. Her best friend seems to have become Verda, the lemon foal.

Tonya is a lovely German Riding Pony, only recently purchased. She was bred in Bavaria, so she responds well to German commands. She is very obedient, as long as you know how to handle her.
She is very sweet. She is suited for medium experienced riders, who can even take her out onto the woods trail when accompanied by a more experienced rider, preferably on a large horse. She is sociable to all other horses, but can be a bit of a pushover to the large mares.
She arrived at the stables together with Rollo. Rollo is gelded, so unfortunately it is not possible to breed with them. They would have made lovely foals.
Tonya is quickly making friends. She especially gets along well with Othelia and Jeyne. She is also friendly to most other animals and especially likes foals.


Tonya is a member of the Sarnori Mountain Clan. She is a very well liked mare with a great many friends. She is sociable and very helpful. She is of medium ranking and a very very lovely personality.
Her best friends are Jeyne and Rowan. She is mated to Rollo. They sadly have no foals yet.
