Territory

 * The Horsemen's territories vary. Their forest territory is large and expansive, some believe it has shrunken since the founding days. Others disagree entirely. Within this homeland, their boundaries side along the Storm Fronts and SummerClan, evening budging close to SplashClan during times of desperation. Within this territory, it provides difficulties of either vast amounts of water, uneven terrain and the appearance of twolegs during warmer months. The biggest water source is the Sun-Down river, which acted as a border in the past, but now the opposite side is just that. In terms of how thick the foliage is, it can be seen as somewhat bare, only closer to the boundaries does the woodland thicken. But around the central, or the heart, the land is littered with a thinner forest of mixed deciduous, and as it nears the outskirts of Bridgebrook, it becomes even less like a forest, and more of an open land. Prey is like that of the Storm Fronts, ranging from small birds, to larger birds, like crows, woodpeckers, and jays, to squirrels, to even larger animals, such as the occasional pheasant or hare.


 * The group's city territory is even more complicated. Unlike most cats, they live closer to the forest-lining houses, but have been seen stalking around the beach side homes. The Horsemen take up refuge in an abandoned doctor's office, one of which is said to be on its last few years. This territory is mainly used during the colder months, but only when prey in the forest is not sufficient enough. They also tend to move closer to the beaches in the warmer weather, hanging around the docks where fishermen have been known to feed the cats. This is a recent development from the clowder's latest leader, Diablo, whom grew up within SplashClan, and has been accustomed to the taste of fish. But the territory is mainly just sticking to the alley ways, and travelling by night fall around neighborhoods as they move between their camps. The group's McHenry territory is really just there to please the cats of the Flock who hold power. And unlike the other families within the larger group, the Horsemen's homeland is rather small, and like mentioned previously just there to keep some balance.

Camps
Bridgebrook Camps


 * The lesser used camp of the Horsemen. This camp is situated wherever, mainly it is set up in alleyways of the city and is used as a temporary resting spot. The Bridgebrook camp has no definite position, and is used when the group is travelling between the forest camp and the McHenry camp. As it changes, only a vague description can be used. Using an alleyway, the group tends to pick ones without scent markers, and will simply crash there for the day, and sometimes night - if the weather is poor. They use dumpsters as shelter, taking to sleeping under them, but in some alleyways they have been able to sleep under cars and better, cat suited places. But the main priority is to find a dry place with some form of close food source. Whether it be eating food scraps, or happening upon twolegs whom are charitable.

McHenry Camp
 * The McHenry camp is used slightly more than those of Bridgebrook, but it is only a new addition to the Horsemen's territory claims. Originally a small territory away from the shore line was claimed, but it soon became unneeded by the group, so they moved closer to the water. There they took to living in a dilapidated doctor's office, a few minutes away from the coastline. It was by the order of Diablo they did this, and it was also him who originally claimed the territory within the coast city. During the warmer days, the group spend more time around the docks. Taking to sleeping out in the open around a certain pub, where they receive food from some of the locals. The layout of the doctor's office is simple, and the cats only use the first floor. The leader and their mate take to sleeping on the higher benches, while the others take to the ground. Nursing queens and their kits are moved to one of the few storage closets so they are away from the main foyer and entrance.
