From the horse's mouth

My mother had always told me we had no choice about which man would eventually handle us. It was all down to something called luck; something that I didn't get to see a lot throughout my life. My mother told me that a lot of good horses had been ruined by the cruelty of man and that she hoped that I would not be one of those once good horses joining the slaughterhouse line.

From the horse's mouth is a roleplay about the struggles of horses in the Victorian era. Inspired by stories like Black Beauty and my initial love for history and horses.

The roleplay will take place from various points of view, or even their masters who may treat them cruelly or kindly. You may not even have anything to do with the horses - you may be a rich stately home owner who demands only the best horses to pull your carriage, oblivious to the real struggles of the horse pulling along.

It is set in Victorian London (or the English countryside) in the year 1845. Please be realistic about the setting, this seems pretty needless to say but just in case :)

You can play an endless list of roles here are some for horses and humans:

Horses

-Cab horse
- Trap pony
- Pit pony
- Plough horse
- Carriage horses
- Hunt horses (fox hunting)
- Canal Horses
- Horsecar
- Brewery horse
- Pony express
- Fire service
- Ambulance service
- Mounted police horse
- Funeral horse
- Wedding horse
- You may even pull a carriage for the King and Queen...

There are many more roles that you can do as well :)

Humans

- Estate owner
- Cab driver
- Blacksmith
- Horse breeder
- Horse dealer
- Farmer
- Carriage driver
- Mail man
- Canal leader
- Miner
- Hunter

To keep it realistic, if you join as a woman, expect to play out how women were treated back in this period of time. If you are a woman, you'd probably be riding side saddle or you would probably not be driving carriages etc. I'm sorry but this is how it is.

Your characters
Your characters should be realistic:

If you join as a horse - research breeds that were used for your job role. If you choose to join as a Plough horse, you'd play as a draft horse etc.

Nickname (If any):

You can also play up to three characters
That is just a rough outline of what I would like to see in the character description, feel free to add as much as you want, you can never have too much detail in character descriptions!

I don't have many rules - follow the general rules of roleplay gateway! Post regularly, and be realistic! No one lined posts, make sure to check grammar and spelling (this is all obvious stuff but I will say it just in case)

There can be side stories also away from the horses - maybe your a cab driver who has to sell his horse to move away with his family? There is also an option where you are able to play as another person's horse and be (semi) controlled by the other person. Such as if they decide to sell you to someone else, they can to make things more involuntary for the hoses. (However this is the only powerplaying allowed)

Feel free to join :) Sorry about so much to read!
