Watson is Niklas’ Bernaise Mountai Dog. He is very well behaved and super cuddly. Everyone at the stables loves her. He spends most of her time in the canteen being pet or running around the stable ground looking for snacks.
With Shenna, Watson has one pup, named Bløf. He is very playful with the pup.


Watson, his mate Shenna and her pup Bløf live with Man beyond the Fog. They are barn dogs and general companions. They are allowed inside Man’s home and are very loved by them.

Great, you've got the McD Bernese! About Tonya, is that description based upon your best friend personality or is it just for the character of your stables?

A bit of both, really.

Elio is a junior member of the royal unicorn herd. He is naturally of Calydor’s seed. His mother unfortunately fell to the beastlings. She will be greatly missed by Calydor’s herd and all that know her.
Elio was already weaned when his mother passed, so he suffered no consequences in his health. Of course he is still very distraught and the entire herd does their best to look after him and support him. Everyone is very patient with him while he slowly recovers.
We can only hope he’ll be a strong stallion when he grows up.

Eleanor is Princess of the Fae. She will soon be their Queen. She is very personable and all the Fae have great faith in her. She is not yet wed, but has many suitors. She also have many sisters.
She is bonded to Chrystalis, the second eldest of the Pendragon Prince. This has sadly isolated the stallion from his herd, but he is loyal and mostly content to be by the Fae’s side. He has Eleanor’s full permission to return to his mate and daughter. But his father has exiled him. For this, Eleanor’s heart weeps. It was, naturally never her intention to cut Chrystalis off from his family.
Eleanor is a fair and kind Fae. She wants only the best for everyone in the valley. She is open to working together with other species, but is met with a lot of resistance. A lot of the animals seem not to trust the Fae.
But the future Fae queen is very friendly and has many a close companion. Her closest friends are Feya, Iris and Marween. She has 3 sisters. Their names are Elessa, Wiona and Zoleya.
And for so far, her favourite courter is Unowen.

The Summer is Coming

Oh absolute joy! This year, for the first time, The Stables are organising camping trips. Everyone who wants can sign up for them. Several of the more experienced riders, stablehands and instructors will be camp leaders.
A selection will be made from the horses who can be trusted to be away from the stables for a while. Ponies and Horses alike will be made ready for a week long trip to a nearby campsite in a nature area. Three weeks like this will be organised over the Dutch summer holidays, to make sure the horses get some rest in between being away from home.
For a fee, everyone can sign up for it. There is an age limit and minors need to have permission from their parents.

Everyone is very eager for the trip. It is all the girls can talk about. Even a lot of the boys are abuzz with eagerness. The stables are abuzz with gossip and many a plan. We’re hoping for good weather and a lot of fun.
There will be large tents, a lot of activities and communal spirit. The horses will of course be centerfold, but there will also be non horse related fun. Old Dutch games and cooking together.
Everyone is going to have so much fun!

Rollo is quite a headstrong German Riding Pony gelding. He is not suited for inexperienced riders, at all. He needs a very firm hand. He is available for lessons and rides in the forest for those who are proven to be able to handle him, though.
Once a rider has established they are in charge over Rollo, he can be a very easy going pony. He likes to work hard for those he has a bond with. He is a very eager jumper, but also quite adept at dressage. Though most riders say he is by far the most enjoyable during the forest rides. He loves to run through the woods.
Rollo’s meadow friends are Ori, Forseti and James. He is very sociable to other horses and non horse animals. Though if he is bothered, he will nip at the culprit.


Rollo is a stalwart, albeit hot headed member of the Sarnori Mountain Clan. He is a vast friend to Aegon. He is fierce and headstrong. But he is also a very loyal friend and will do anything for his herd.
He is against interacting with other herds. He’ll react fiercely upon meeting horses of other herds and has been known to get into scraps with other stallions, even unicorns. These are fool’s errands, but Rollo keeps doing it.
Rollo is mated to Tonya. They have no offspring as of yet.

Noctis is a relatively new horse at the tables. He is a handsome show off of a stallion. He is Niklas’ second horse, with which he rides Classic Disciplines. Noctis is very well trained in dressage, but is not a bad jumper, either.
Noctis is a very sociable horse. He is easy going to most people and other horses. He can be a bit showy to other stallions, but he never picks a fight. This makes him a very pleasant horse for Niklas to ride out on.
With the mare Pam, Noctis has a yearling filly and a colt. They are named Janice and Llyr. They were all bought together by Pieter. Noctis is very sociable to the filly and the colt, but somehow does no longer get along with the mare.
Noctis’ meadow friends are Glorfindel, Icedust and Abel.


Noctis is a member of the Pendragon herd. He is one of Icedust’s best friends. He is a bit of a show off, but is well liked. He supports Icedust in his advocacy to work with other herds and is open to other alliances as well. He has even been seen flirting with a few unicorn mares. This did get him into a couple of fights with Calydor.
Noctis is mated to Pam, but is not overly attached to her. With her he has a yearling filly Janice and a colt Llyr. He is a very good father, though.
His friends include Glorfindel, Felix, Prince Charming and of course Icedust. He wants to be a hero, and practise fights with them. This makes him well admired.

This design is not easy to comment. The long curved neck with the narrow head, together with the very unusual mane, gives a very distinct appearance to this model. It is not hard to see it is a Schleich but it is not one more lik all the others. There is a kind of stateliness on it as we see on Safari last Frisian but in a different way.

Elvio is a member of the royal unicorn herd. He is an already weaned colt. It is not known which of the mares is his dam, but it is very certain his father is Calydor, like is the case with all the royal foals.
He is outgoing and very sweet. He is sociable to creatures outside of his herd, too. His best friends are Kenny and Rosebud. He plays with them every day and tells them all his secrets. It is a joy to see them together.

Glaucous is a relatively new face in our valley. He is a Unicorn of the Refracted Light. He is proud, but also rather kind. He is already proving to be very sociable and knowledgeable. He strikes me as a scholar of sorts. This makes him an asset to our valley and a potential friend to many.
He gets along well with Davos, Manwe and myself. He is gentle and warm as a friend. But he also has little patience for the more showy stallions. He does not get along with Calydor and Narcissus at all.
With Amaranth, he has one daughter. The filly is named Tessie and she is absolutely adored by her father. He is very doting to her.

Maestro is the poodle of a very rich boarder. He isn’t over at the stables a lot. He is very energetic and not all the horses like him. His owner does not really seem to care and always pawns responsibility off on the stablehands.
Pieter would really like to tell her to sod off, but she is Marisè’s friend. So Maestro, when he is at the stables, remains the problem of the stablehands. Though they usually dump him in the canteen. Maestro is very happy to receive attention from everyone there.
He is not very well trained, but very clever. For the right amount of treats and cuddles he will sit and stay. And he loves water! If he has the chance to take a dip in the pond, a ditch or a water trough, he will absolutely take it. And this will always inevitably anger his owner.


Maestro lives with very a very wealthy family of Man Beyond the Fog. He is used as a hunting dog for hunting water fowl. He is very eager to get in the water. He loves swimming and usually gets very dirty.
Man’s young love to help get him clean though. The young and Maestro take half of their baths together.

I loved reading about Maestro!

Elessa is Princess Eyela’s younger sister. She is the youngest of the princesses. She is sociable and outgoing and loves to have fun. She has a great many friends and can barely do without them.
She is also befriended with the Royal Unicorn Mare Primrose. Sometimes she can be seen riding the Unicorn tentatively to her favourite places in the valley. The two have a good bond, but not as close as the bond some horses form with the Fae. This may also be why Primrose was not explused from the Royal Unicorn Herd.
The princess is a very unworried young lady. The beastlings are a threat unfamiliar to her yet. Soon though, she might need to wake up to the truth.

The Dragons have warned us. Something is rumbling in the mountains. Something large, moving under the surface. No one is sure if it is dangerous. Is it yet another threat to our valley? Is it at all a creature, or are the mountains awakening?
Are we still safe? We can’t leave our valley. Outside it we will not be safe or able to be ourselves.
The Dragons will soon investigate. We can only hope that which they find it not a threat to the entire valley. Such would devastate us all.

Amaranth is a scholarly Unicorn mare. She is very strict and stiff. She isn’t a very sociable individual and acts a little bit superior. Most of us like her husband infinitely better. She always tries to show us she knows better. In quite a few cases she in fact does not know better, though.
She is quite strict to her filly. She keeps a very close watch on Tessie. The filly loves to play, but always feels slightly awkward when Amaranth keeps following close by. Only half of the time Glaucous can hold his mate back from doing this.
Amaranth unfortunately does not have a great many friends. Her attitude rubs most of us the wrong way.

Flicka is a young Tinker mare who is rather new at the stables. She is still in training. She is very eager to learn and very happy to work with the stablehands. The stablehands really like her energy and how well behaved she is.
Flicka is a big cuddler, too. She adores attention. This makes her an ideal horse for shy riders. She will make sure they are comfortable with her. She will be trained to work with handicapped children and as a comfort animal.
She is very sociable to other animals. She has a lot of friends in the meadows. Her besties are Pacifica, Briony and Jonquil. She loves to be around them and always finds them in the meadow.


Flicka is a member of the Pendragon herd. She is still quite young, but already rather burdened. She has lost her mate, while she is in foal. Naturally the entire Pendragon herd tries their best to support her, but it does not soothe her hurt. And her poor foal will be born without father.
Flicka seeks her support in her friends, Pacifica, Jeany and Janice. They stay close by her and make sure she has everything she needs. They truly are the most loyal friends in our herd.

Fennec Fox Elmwood is a welcome sight in our valley. He is very sociable and playful. He has a great many friends and always knows what to talk about. Those big ears are perfect for picking up gossip.
But Elmwood is not the type to spread negative talk. He does not want to talk bad about the creatures he knows. He is not the type to that at all.
He is very beloved and where ever he goes, creatures greet him and pause to have a chat. His best friend is Milo. They hang out every day.

Joanna is a very sweet and playful Hanoverian Filly. She already has all the makings of a sports horse. She can be seen prancing around in the meadow as though to imitate her sire. She is sociable and well behaved in general. She will make an excellent sports horse once she is full grown. For now, she is still allowed to play with the other foals.
Her best friends are Pym and Frostfoot. She loves to prance around with the other fillies, though she regularly turns back to her mother’s side.
Her sire is the now gelded Gerion. Her dam is Tara. She has no siblings.


Joanna lives with Man beyond the Fog. She was bred to become a horse for messengers and heralds of noble people. She already walks prettily, but can also go rather fast. She is playful to other foals, but shy to Man. When her owners come, she hides behind her mother.
Her mother is the mare Tara and her father the now gelded Gerion. She has no older siblings.

SplinterKat is a fierce fighter and a hero to many who live in the Tallwood Jungle. He has already taken on many of the beastlings. He is strong and brave and ready to protect all those who cannot protect themselves. Those who can, he welcomes to fight by his side.
He gets along best with Barong, Lugh and Viridian. Together they make a strong team, well adept to protect most of us from direct attacks. SplinterKat is most certainly the most ferocious among them. A lot of us place our faith in him and his friends.

I have a shetland foal named Tyrion, you can find him in the previous edition of this topic.

Oh, of course you thought about it before. Maybe I've read about it and it got hidden in my subconscious. Great choice.

Emeroude is a Star Fae and a sorceress. She is one of the most powerful magic uses amongst the Fae. She is mysterious and very wise. The other Fae speak very highly of her. Especially Eleanor has her in high esteem. The two are very vast friends. Eleanor usually asks Emeroude for advice.
Emeroude, as a Star Fae, is very good at divination. She reads possible futures in the stars. And not all paths lead to our safety. Neither do all lead to our doom. Emeroude regrets that she has no words of comfort for us.
Her friends include Eleanor, Veronique and Ninya. She has is not courted, as far as she is willing to let on.
