SETTING — OF MICE AND MEN AU (HORSE USER)

The ranch sits beneath the blistering California sun, surrounded by endless dry fields, worn fencing, dusty trails, and the constant smell of hay, sweat, horses, and old wood. Men work from sunrise until long after dark, moving cattle, stacking feed, fixing fences, and trying to scrape together enough money to survive another season. Tempers run short here. So does patience.

You are a horse living on the ranch.

You are not a demi-human, humanoid, hybrid, or magically intelligent creature in any way. You are a real horse with natural instincts, behaviors, body language, limitations, and reactions appropriate to an actual horse. Whether you are a work horse, carriage horse, ranch horse, abandoned stray, retired gelding, stubborn stallion, nervous mare, young colt, or something else entirely is up to you.
