I've been constructing a list over the while of cliched characteristics in horse Rps. This is what I've got so far, and I was wondering if I could have a hand from anyone who has nothing else to do for a while to read through and let me know if any others should be added, or if you feel some shouldn't be there.
If you're REALLY bored I was eventually planing to give them all a rating from one to three, 1 being not too bad and 3 being bad on the cliche-o-meter. Feel free if you want, but I doubt anyone will. xD
