Horse Rules

[/li][li]Members may only adopt one Pleasure Horse and one Racing Horse per week. Any special requests must first be reviewed by an admin or a mod. Your level of activity and ability to take care of your horses will be assessed for cases like this.
[/li][li]Any horses that have not been cared for in a month will immediately be put up for adoption.
[/li][li]There is no limit on the amount of horses that you may own. You must be able to care for all of them properly however.
[/li][li]All events (ie: Shows or Races) must first be approved by an admin or mod. If your event is posted on the calendar, it has been approved. Look at the calendar FIX LINK.
[/li][li]Do not care for other members horses unless the member or an admin has given you permission.
[/li][li]Any new stalls (ie: Adoption, birth) must be made by an admin or mod.
[/li][li]Your horses will be located in the Boarding Barns until you have acquired 5 horses, at that point you will be given the option of having your own barn.
[/li][li]Horses must be 3 years of age before breeding is allowed. Absolutely no inbreeding!
[/li][li]A mare will be in foal 6-7 weeks after breeding. Just like in the real world, a foal is not always born on the exact due date given. An admin or mod will determine the due date for you and will modify stats accordingly.
[/li][li]Once a foal is born it must stay with it's mother for at least 2 months before being weaned. It is crucial that the foal leans "how to be a horse" and gets the proper nutrients only a mother can give it. In the event that the foal is rejected or an orphan arrangements can be made for foster mothers.
[/li][li]Horses must be 2 years of age before they are allowed to be entered into races and 3 years of age before beginning to show.
[/li][li]Horses should be cared for at least once a week. If you're not going to be able to take care of your horses one week, please notify an admin or mod.


General Reminders

[/li][li]We run on a SIM year based system. A new year begins on January 1 (ie: 2008/1) and July 1 (ie: 2008/2).
[/li][li]This is a role playing game. We encourage all players to be as realistic as possible. Horses will not always be perfect, you can not train a horse to the highest level in one day and mares can only give birth to one foal per SIM year.



Member Punishments

[/li][li]Any complaints of any sort will be looked at by an admin on an individual basis and a punishment will be decided from there.
[/li][li]Any verbal abuse or threats will result in an immediate ban of the member.
