Sire/Dam: Unknown
Bloodlines: Unknown
Other: Cirrus is an extremely well resurrected zombie horse, well enough to sustain life-like enough health to allow her to breed (as safely as she would have before undeath). The circumstances of her death were as follows; Back in the late 1950's, she was owned by a wealthy farmer with a bad reputation for taking violent revenge on trespassers.
One night she was out in her paddock when she wandered into a grove of trees by a river where a group of hunters were drinking and poaching. A stray bullet hit her through the eye and killed her. When the hunters found out, fearful of what could happen, they worked the rest of the night digging a grave for her in the sandy soil and, with the help of their pickup truck and a strong rope, dragged her into it and buried her. Heavy late summer rain soon washed away all traces of the deed, but the river flooded higher than usual in the following spring.
After the waters receeded, a fey creature - a gnome - noticed a skull poking out from the riverbank one night, and sensed that her spirit was still haunting the area. He took pity and performed ressurection magic on the bones. The spell worked better then he'd expected, for the earth around him suddenly heaved open, and Cirrus pulled herself out from her grave. She was near perfectly restored - except for her face, which was still skull-like. Her eyes had also turned pure black and lidless. As a finishing touch, the gnome waved a twig, and a mist appeared around her head ... condensing around the skull until it had formed a soft, pearly, parchment-like skin.
His work done, he stood back and waited for a response. For a moment Cirrus regarded the gnome, before touching his hat with her nose in gratitude, and then she turned and cantered away.
Name: Fencepost (Stallion)
Height: 17 Hands
Breed: Demonic/Otherworldly/Unicorn
Age: 7 years
Color: Bare, wrinkled ash grey skin (no fur, or mane/tail hair), black intertwined horn, metal (steel) hooves, milky-blue eyes.
Markings: None
Discipline: Halter only
Passible Traits: Bare skin (90% chance), oiled steel hooves (40% chance), no mane or tail hair (30% chance), horn (90% chance, 100% chance with horned mare), ability to self-ignite (10% chance, 100% chance if with nightmare or other flaming/fire-elelmet mare), spinal vents (40% chance), height, aggressive temperament, Roman nose, extreme strength, electricity resistance, aversion to cold/snow (40% chance), brimstone smell/breath (60% chance), carnivorism (60% chance)
Sire/Dam/Bloodline: Unknown (Starter)
Offspring: none currently
Other: Fencepost is 100% carnivorous, and has the ability to self-ignite when enraged or exited enough. When he ignites, an intensely hot fire covers his entire body and blasts out from his mouth, eyes, horn and nostrils. He also has a line of spinal vents, starting from the back of his head to his tail-tip (which divides into a double-line between his shoulders and the base of his tail). These too issue jets of flame when he ignites - at other times the vents are dormant, only putting out small puffs of sulphurous steam now and then (His breath also smells of sulphur).
He is monstrously powerful, and electricity-resistant so few things can contain him. Fortunately, he has a strong aversion to cold and snow - for the safety of the other horses at the stable, his paddock is contained by a wind & solar-generated forcefield of cold.
Finally, his presence has an extreme unnerving effect on other horses, animals and most humans. Any realistic/natural horse will, according to their temperament, either misbehave and be extremely hard to handle, or panic and do anything to get away from him - even if it means certain injury.
You can see fencepost's lineart sketches here, and read ~Dacaktty's dream story from which he originated here.
For stud/lease: Yes. 8 breeding slots, plus a 9th I will reserve for myself. He is an extremely dangerous stallion who has already killed (and devoured) at least one mare at his former ranch. For this reason, preference will be given to Nightmares, fire-elemental horses, draconic (except ice/cold types), evil-aligned and/or immortal types etc. Good-aligned mares that are powerful enough to protect themselves against him will also be considered. Cold/ice He will refuse to breed with cold/ice-elemental mares, or those with very low body temperatures (near freezing and under). For safety's sake, he will be fed a *lot* of meat before any breeding, and he will not be bred to any realistic-type mare, or any other mare who I think is not likely to survive an encounter with him.
Names: Jaffa (Mare)
Age: 5 years
Height: 15.5 Hands

Passable traits: Hallowequine colour & markings (see breed info [Link] for more about hallowequine genetics), build, temperament & athletic abilities.
Discipline: Halter, basic saddle & harness, small-team harness, harness racing, flat-track racing, endurance riding, stock work. Jaffa naturally paces rather than trots, so she started training in harness racing, but after some trackwork controlled (to some extent) a tendency to run 'greenly' she's showing some ability in flat-racing as well, though her natural pacing gait affects her galloping speed and makes her more difficult to ride in a race.
Sire/Dam/Bloodline: (s for starter)

Markings: Chestnut-red brow spots, white chest & underside, tapering white face-blaze, white stockings on hindlegs, white socks on forelegs.

Name: - Firebow
Gender: - Stallion
Breed: - Unicorn
Age: - 6 years
Height: - 15.5 hands
Color: - Mahogany chestnut hindquarters fading through amber-tones to turquoise green forequarters. Darker bluish shading around nose/lips, eyes and crest of upper neck. Hindlegs fade down to amber-orange, forelegs fade down to amber tones. Mane and tail amber-gold with dark brown & silver white bands/streaks (brown streaks fading to reddish at the tips). Smooth back-curving horn semi-translucent amber colour, (tufted) ear-tips & eyelashes yellow. Eye irises white, equine pupils.

Black & brown banded hooves w/ermine spots, white band on fetlock of both forefeet, gold-orange band on fetlock of both hindfeet. White streak in beard & fetlock fur of his forelegs.
Discipline: - dancer (an art his mother Keshet taught him), otherwise wild.
Personality: - Bold, creative, a talented show off to the point of being a bit overconfident at times. Also independant, likes his freedom and hates being tied down to, or having to answer to anyone or anything. Loves to do bold things on the spur of the moment - far more unpredictable than any of his parents or grandparents. Along with this wildness, he holds strong (if often extreme) principles. One of these in that he is picky about his partners, preferring unicorns and/or mares of human-level intelligence. He may accept a mare of animal-level intelligence if he thinks she is exceptionally beautiful.
Passable Traits: - Build, temperament, agility, colouring, markings in general (90% chance of inheriting swirling/flamelike markings on face and/or neck and/or body and/or limbs), unicorn horn (50% chance with a hornless mare, 100% chance with a unicorn, if mare has other type of horn eg antlers the offspring will inherit Firebow's horn colour). Beard, tufted ears & long fetlock fur.
Name: - Lady Amethyst
Gender: - Mare
Breed: - Carousello (no breed sheet yet - see Sir Candybar's ref [link] for breed info)
Age: - 5 Years
Height: - 14.5 hands
Color: - Deep amethyst with darker/burnished amethyst dappling & points, normally furred part of face fading down to black. Wavy black mane, wavy black/white/amethyst tail. Left hind hoof gold, other hooves black. CAROUSELLO MARKS - simple brassy gold face-mask with faceted amethyst-like gems along cheek, one large faceted amethyst-like gem on forehead. Single large, floppy blue-violet head plume. Brassy-gold, faceted 'amethyst' gem-studded 'anklets' on both hindlegs. Face mask, anklets, gems & plumes are a natural part of her body, and if injured will heal as would other parts (her plume and gems would grow back if plucked out, for example).
Markings: - White stockings on both left-side limbs, white socks on both right-side limbs. Front of lips & chin white.
Discipline: - Dancer, Circus riding/circus tricks, children's rides. Currently being taught some gaits.
Other: - Lady Ruby isn't quite as exubrant as many Carousellos tend to be, her gentler nature helps make her a very suitable & classy mount for older children as well as adults.
Passable Traits: - Wavy mane/tail hair, height & build, Carousello temperament, body colour & markings, hoof colour, eye colour, round pupils, head plume, 'harness' markings with gems. Because Lady Amethyst was one of twins, she and her offspring will have a 1 in 10 chance of having (or siring) twin foals.
Name: Tiptoe (Stallion)
Height: 16 Hands
Breed: Saddlebred X Otherworldly/Appaloosa
Age: 8 years
Color: Gold-tawny mane, tail & points. Rich tawny-brown hooves
Markings: Black & grey leopard appaloosa spots over entire body, large tawny-gold star on forehead.
Discipline: Halter, basic saddle, sidesaddle, dressage (advanced), haute ecole (Levade, Capriole), gaits (the rack, foxtrot, slow walk, Paso largo, Paso corto)
Passible Traits: Height, temperament, colour, markings, gaits.
Sire/Dam/Bloodline: Unknown (Starter)
Offspring: none currently
Other: Tiptoe is a remarkably highly trained saddle horse, and surprisingly calm and well-behaved as stallions go. He came unexpectedly to Iron Hill stables one dusty, windy afternoon, led by a mysterious woman in what appeared to be a dog suit over a somewhat over-the top gown (ne of the jockey/stablehands, remarked on how "weirdly doggy-smelling for a furry" she was). His owner made it very clear to Iron Hill's staff that she was lending her horse on a seven-month lease only, and she would return to take him back when the time was up.
Tiptoe's design is based on an iron-on transfer design (made with transfer crayons) I'd made for a laundry bag when I was 15 or so. He was depicted with an anthro riding him sidesaddle.
For stud/lease: Yes. 8 breeding slots, plus a 9th I will reserve for myself. He will only be available for breeding and competitions until May 2010, when his owner will come back for him. When that happens, Tiptoe - but not his offspring - will be retired from the HARPG game.
