An intermediate/advanced RPG
For both humans and horses;

Beyond the reaches of comprehension is a valley which embodies all the pains and losses of the young and growing mind. With water as black as deceit; skies as dark as anguished cries; and wind so mild but bitter as to arouse tears from dormant chambers. The rusty sign that hangs from cobwebbed banisters says, 'oppression, depression, enmity, and asphyxiation.' This is the world that so many see, this is where the blind lead the blind.

- An abrupt stop sent shivering jolts up unsuspecting spines, not to mention my own. It could only mean we'd finally stopped moving, that we'd finally gotten off the road of civilization and entered into the forlorn clutches of another rehabilitation center. Let us all rejoice, they're going to try us with horses now! There was a reason my stomach clutche and my senses yearned and clawed for a way back to the darkest alleys and silent rooms; there were horses here- demented beasts that were abused beyond imagination. And we were supposed to take care of them, love them, and heal them; healing our own scarred souls in the process. This is madness of course, but the happily smiling psychiatrists and counselors merely nodded their head in blatant approval; good idea, why don't we send our patients off to ranches with crazy horses? Two battered souls paired together, two sets of crying eyes drying in unision, and two cursing lips silenced by understanding; that was the basic idea. Damn, I've never touched a horse, never seen one except in those flashy little magazines.. Please don't abandon me now, I know you've left me on the streets, I know you've killed both my parents, but don't leave me to the sanity of a world beyond my own; but I won't repent for my sins. I won't pray for the souls of delirious horses. I just want out. And nothing they can do will make me smile again.

New Hopes is an intermediate/advanced human/horse RPG. It takes place at a ranch in Montana and takes in troubled teens and ruined horses. You have the choice of either playing a troubled teenager or an abused horse; it's all up to you. Whether you choose to see the end as peaceful oblivion or a raging hell is also your choice; will it be tormented sobs or rejuvinated smiles?
