RANKS

alphas/leads » The alphas are the top dogs in the herd. They command everything. The lead stallion has the most power out of all the horses in the herd. He has the power to appoint any horse to any rank at any time, and controls the meetings and going-ons within the herd. The lead mare is seen as the most beautiful and intelligent of all the herd's mares. She can also only be bred to by the lead stallion. Her foals will inherit the herd and the lead rank. She looks after all the foals of the herd and will spend most of her time watching over them from a hill overlooking the field in which most of them play, making sure they stay out of harms way.

betas » The betas are second in power only to the alphas. The beta stallion keeps everyone in check and makes sure that they are following the laws of the herd and respecting who they should be. Usually, a beta will work his way through all the subordinate positions until finally being appointed as beta stallion. He will also usually have been living in the herd for the longest of all the stallions, second to it's creator or the lead stallion. If the lead stallion gives her permission to, he may boot any subordinate to his rank from the herd for any reason after confirming it with the alphas. The beta mare is seen as the second most beautiful and intelligent in the herd, and may only be bred to by the beta stallion and occasionally the alpha stallion, though this happens very rarely. She helps the alpha mare look after the foals. However, when the beta mare has her own foal to look after, she will spend most of her time teaching it. When the foal is at the ripe age of one, the alpha mare will come to inspect it and announce wether or not it will become the heir or heiress to the beta rank, though rarely will she deny it it's natural place in line.

gammas » Gammas are third in power within the hierarchy of the herd, and the last of the 'royals' of the herd. The gamma stallion is appointed by both the beta and alpha stallions after working his way up from Epsilon to Delta and Delta to Gamma. Once he has achieved this position, he will discuss random but important matters with the beta and even the alpha on certain occasions. The gamma acts as the advisor for the higher ranked. The gamma mare is seen as the third most beautiful and most intelligent in the herd, and may be bred to by only the higher ranked and the gamma. She helps look after the foals with the beta and alpha mares, though like the beta is often busy with her own foal as the alpha mare comes around after the foal has turned one to decide wether or not it will become the heir or heiress to the beta title.

deltas » The deltas are the average horses of the herd. They are neither the higher ranked nor the underdogs within the hierarchy. At each meeting, every horse in the herd will usually be appointed to delta or higher in the rankings, but some of those who have misbehaved, shown disloyalty to the herd or have given the higher ranked some reason to deny them a delta title, they stay an underdog in epsilon.

epsilons » The epsilons are the underdogs of the herd. This is where all of the herd's horses start out, and stay in rank until they are appointed to a higher rank, usually delta. Rarely there will be a few horses that stay in epsilon for quite some time for some reason given by the higher ranked.

omegas » Though this rank is nearly impossible to achieve seeing as you are only put here if you do something incredibly wrong and are somehow spared by the alpha from being banned from the herd entirely. This rank consists of those who are considered worthless scum. This rank is sometimes used for prisoners of war/battle, light toys for the higher ranked and otherwise slaves.
