«ebon' steed paws the firm ground littered with gleaming white bones with a strong, small hoof, and then rolls eyes in disgust. he had been residing here for only a short while and was already bored out of his mind. perhaps he should plan a sojourn to another tt for comparison. lobes lay low against skull, not in warning, but merely out of boredom; was there anything to do in this terra? optics search for another to converse with or at least supply him with a way out of his dull mood. hide gleams silver despite it's shadowy hue under the dim light as sinewy muscles beneath contract and release with the fidgeting. he wanted action and would not be satisfied in any way until he was appeased»

«gaze is averted towards the young femme with a curious, yet dark, glare. lobes swivel to listen to her utterance, tail lashing at his flanks and then dropping back, ebon' tresses returning to their former position. what kind of question was that?»
Of what importance is that?
«regards her icily, flames seeming to leap within his translucent orbs. this Fell pony bronc would not appear weak»

+~Filla orbs flashed dangeroulsy~+ I want someone to teach me to battle +~She said voice stubbornly ringing. Her golden ears swivled lightly listening. She stomped a small foot impatiently~+

«snorts softly in surprise, optics narrowing as he took a second look at the filly. she seemed fierce and to be a quick learner; perhaps he should help her...dial tosses, ears flickering back for a moment as he decided on the actions he would take in response to the filly's request»
I s'pose I could help you, but I must admit that stallions fight quite differently from mares, or fillies, at that.
«gives the female of equivalent height to he a chance to back out if she wished, though he severely doubted one of her nature would even think twice once she'd set her mind. the same was his way, and he switched into almost a different attitude entirely...a more aggressive one...»

*~She snorted and pawed the earth in anticipation~* how so.. are fillies and mares not of same stature as stallions. If a mare and stallion are of same breed would they not be in much the same.. physical shape. *~She asked smirking lightly. She pranced lightly on her hooves. Her body tense as if expecting the stallion to strike out at her.~*

«rolls his eyes at her naivete, but says nothing nonetheless. of course stallions and mares were different, did she not understand how the ways "normal" herds were run? the stallion would run at the back of the herd when fleeing from danger so he could fight and protect the mares in his harem. for the purpose of fighting, stallion had special front teeth and are generally built slightly different. how to explain...»
You happen to be wrong in the eyes of many, for no horse is the same. Some may have disabilities, others may be purely opposite of gender. Whatever the difference...it's there; if that explains it. Do you understand any battle tactics whatsoever?
«attempts to explain it in a more "soft" way so she could handle it. a smirk graces his lips as malevolent optics ponder how to teach this filly the "basics"...and perhaps more...»

*~Orbs glint and narrow~* mother wouldn't teach me.. didn't bother to ask father *~She snorted tossing her golden hued head up. Black mane rises and falls with it.~* Flames was father's favorite anyway so.. teach me.. everything *~She says stubbornly orbs set hard~*

«nods his elegant dial, ebon' mane cascading down the off-side of his neck as opposed to the near side as it was "supposed" to. how should he begin? by lectures, examples, he did not know. let's start at the beginning...»
The key goal for either opponent in a battle is to beat the other into submission, forfeit, or merely chase them away in order to win a prize, prove their strength, or merely just due to boredom. Usually, however, it is due to a desire of something coveted, such as a position or mare. In your case, since you be a female, I'd sincerely doubt you'd fight for a mare, though I could be wrong...
«a sly grin slinks across labrums as the pony's eyes twinkle mischeviously. nevertheless, he continues»
Now, I must inquire which way of learning you'd prefer.

*~Snorted at the stallion orbs narrowed she pawed at the earth. Femme pranced lightly and pawed the earth.~* Which ever is easier, you are my elder.*~She smirked tossing black mane slightly flashing agaisnt golden pelt. She waited a slight smirk on features.~*

«his mood began to sour as she sarcastically addressed him and chose the way he thought would be best for the situation. concentrating hard on the task at hand, the dour bronc cleared his throat and began»
First of all, it is generally easier to allow the opponent to advance upon you first, so you can have longer to prepare to use their visible vulnerabilities to attack. So...how do you entice them to begin the battle? Pop quiz, what do you think the answer is?
«as apparent, the stallion intends to teach by several styles, but the hands-on would have to come later»

*~She smirks her dark orbs thoughtful~* by making them annoyed, goading them to attack you.. if they attack you in rage they won't be thinking straight will they? *~She questions pawing the earth cocking her head to one side. She looked thoughtful yet anxious for "hands on" to begin.~*

«ebon' muzzle tips downward in somewhat of a nod of approval at her response. pretty sharp for a filly, but if she'd asked him, of all horses, for help, then she'd learn what she needed to in order to battle to win»
Precisely. Now, once they're headed towards you, generally at a full-on charge, you must attack them where they are least expecting it, preferrably somewhere vulnerable yet painful, and use your ability to sidestep and such. You must always keep your feet moving to ensure quick movements. A slow horse is a losing horse. Now, I realize in order for, shall I say, some "entertainment", you will be given the role of the "winning" horse, and I the..."losing" horse. Oh, how I despise that role...Anyways, we will enact the beginnings of the battle, then move on from there. Keep in mind each will be different, because you never think the same thing twice.
«apparent distaste is evident as he glides over to an area opposite of the filly, tail floating gently on the wind as his eyes flash coldly. he would portray all characteristics of a "loser" in this battle, so she would easily win and get more "egotistical" if she was like usual females. let the battle begin...»

She snorted softly sharp hooves prance slightly. Yearlings bright orbs eagrly watched the stallion. She smirked slightly so you shall play the loser.. something you would know how to play well. She smirked knowing that goading was not needed but practice never hurt. She watched him carefully her hooves continuing prancing slightly.

«the taunt made his heart seeth with rage, but I'm a teacher, he kept reminding himself. things like this are typical. nevertheless, his legs refused his commands to charge forth into "battle" with the pupil and causes more frustration than the stallion already had. taking a moment to calm his system down to take whatever would befall it, the stallion begins jogging towards the filly, head low, ivories glinting as he displayed his weaponry. a battle cry was trumpeted as nares flared. you must be a loser he kept reminding himself, so he began to show the characteristics. his right shoulder remained vulnerable as well as the nape of his neck and withers. tail flagged behind him, but only as a mere display of overconfidence. she'd win, but would she learn?»

*~She snorted seeing the anger dissapear from his eyes. She watched his movements carefully her body tense. She pranced lightly to relax. Searching for a weakness she looked noticing he wasn't gaurding his shoulder she sighed lightly to easy. She looked and watched the neck the muscles move and how he moved. She snorted and stepped foward unsure to charge or not. She keep her dark orbs focused ahead not glancing at where she planned to hit. As he came closer she darted foward her orbs focused on his shoulder. As she drew near she switched her aim suddenly to the nape of his neck.~*

«the stallion tensed for a moment, expecting her to grasp his purposely unguarded shoulder, but instead the fem chose a different route to roll down. unfortunately for her, this change would bring both positive and negative consequences. first, she had surprised him, but second, he found that by her rearing up to grab at his neck towards his withers, there was an easy grab available at her belly and jugular vein. hmmm...choices, choices...finally, right before her jaws clamp on, he bares sharp ivories, glinting light reflected from the haphazardly strewn bones beneath, and lunges towards her jugular vein, just beneath her throatlatch so her mandable(sp?) would nay be able to grasp his neck if he aimed as correctly as he had calculated. would this teach her to keep her body protected at all times, even when being on the offense?»

*~She snorted realizing her mistake. She pushed her front hooves foward hard as she could. Dark orbs searched for a way out of this situation. She felt his ivories snap on her throat and gave a light yelp but covered it by using her back hooves to lend force to her front that were flying towards his side.~*

«apparently enjoying the delightful little "learning experience", the ebon' bronc uses his powerful muscles to launch the hulking mass of his short-statured form harder into her fore, but then quickly checked himself as he remembered "loser, teacher, not winner..." and allowed himself to easily be overthrown if she so chose. once his body slammed into the firm terra, he would call the fight to terminate and would explain more about battling before they tried again, this time in earnest»
Enjoying yourself?

*~Dark snort as she slams fore-foot into brute. She gives a slight growl yes I am.. I suppose. She steps back to allow the stallion to move. Her golden head is cocked to one side muscles taunt beneath pelt.~*

«nigrescent hide slams into the earth, driving with the inertia of a horse triple his size. the fall was so powerful his breath was knocked away, strewn towards the heavens above, leaving the bronc rather want for air. lobes lay flat on skull as the "loser" the stallion portrayed gave a fake moan of grief and sorrow at losing before he heaved himself up, gaunt frame puffing lightly. 'twas a rather good show, ole chap»
Swell. Now that we have fought with me as a "loser", what do you make of it? Anything learned? For next time, won't be quite so easy when I'm not such a "loser", will it?

*~Young female prances lightly hooves not stopping their rapid movement. I learned you hate being the loser. She laughed darkly also.. watch your whole body at one time leave nothing unprotected. She nodded her head thinking if there was anything else.~*

«bright, livid eyes show a stark contrast to his dull, shadowy pelt, but what was beauty anyways? her humour would normally have been received quite well, were it not the dour mood he'd caused to pop into spontaneously. flints dig at the firm soil as the bronc attempts to lodge his body in the ground to mull over the myriad thoughts pounding in his head. what was he to ever become in life-a battle teacher that wasn't even worth his weight in dirt? hmmm...maybe this profession should be rethought a bit, although he was benefitting society in a way»
Very well then, anything else...that's important?
«there was no conceivable way to misconstrue his meaning of importance, as the humour did not bide well and he was becoming grouchy quite rapidly»

*~Filla stopped her prancing to stand firmly. I had to watch swiftly for any open movements and watch you carefully. Also to understand how to block your moves so I may finish mine. She nodded watching him carefully she wanted to fuel that anger but held her tounge. She sighed bored and gazed 'round the terra letting her mind wanderer.~*

«tendrils frame the ebony face as the Fell leans crania downward to nibble at random blades of nourishment. lobes swivel back in boredom, though he does listen to the filly's "regurgitation". perhaps she would learn more at the Battling Academy, for he could certainly use a trip or two there to brush up on his formerly nonexistant skills. now there's an idea...but wouldn't that be a pop in his pride bubble? hmmm...»
