Main -One character per account. -One account per email. (If another member of your family wants to join and you share an email, create a new email. Yahoo is free.) -Make your display name the name of your character. If you character dies off and you create a new character, simply edit your profile and change your name. -One picture per signature. No bigger than 500x300. I will remove it without warning if it exceeds this. You are allowed more pictures if you have your signature as your character and then have avatar size pictures of their horses beneath it. -All characters will be 18+ so that no child molestation, underage sex, etc¡¦ goes on. -Each character can have up to five horses. -Other players cannot play your characters horses. (In case someone quits, you won’t be up a creek) -One month is a year. -Each week is a different season. -No racism or sexism or religion critiquing in or out of character.
Role-playing -Keep your character in three topics or less at one time. -Posts in character should be 300+ words. -I will kill if this isn’t followed: Use spell-check! And make sure your grammar is correct! Type it in a Word Processor, once your finish; select all of your post, cut, and then post in the reply/topic starter. Seriously, how hard is that? -Relationships are allowed. Bisexuals, gays, lesbians, etc¡¦ are allowed. -Cheating is allowed, but could cause allot of drama in character if caught. -Kissing, sex, oral, etc… are allowed; just don’t make it public like in the stable house where everyone hangs out. Hide. (Hay loft, office, bathroom, etc…) -REALISTIC: meaning horses cannot talk, but they can communicate through actions. -Keep the adult language on a down low. The only adult words allowed to be used are hell, d**n, and bastard. -Problems with characters are allowed. (Smoking, Drinking, Anorexia, Bulimic, etc¡¦) -No power playing allowed unless your power playing over the horse you’re riding. (But then you can make it disagree and fight back to make it interesting) -You can try and pressure them into the above and such, but NO RAPE AT ALL IS ALLOWED! -Cliques, gossip, drama, etc… are allowed in character. -To spend time without your horse you can go in the pasture, trail rides, etc¡¦ -There are no stalls, because no one uses them. I will create a stalls board so that those who do use stalls can create topics and such. But there will be no sub forum per horse for a stall. It gets out of hand and un-organized. -You can role play your horses without your human character being there. The character can turn them loose and then the horses can interact with other horses and other people’s characters. -Other people’s characters can ride the other characters horses, but the owner of the horse must give permission and the player of the owner must play the horse. -No murdering other player’s characters. -Keep all out of character out of the in character posts. If you are talking to more than one person, you can use the OOC in the IC posts. But please, if its one person, just PM them, it keeps the board nice and tidy. -Threads/Posts will not be deleted; an archives board may be added later.
Points -makes your horse more valuable -Your horse gets one point per trainer you do. Trainers are done in the training arena (Duh). You can do a trainer once per week per horse. To do a trainer, make a new topic and make an in character post explaining how you’re training the horse. Keep it realistic though, the less points the horse has, the more wild and green broke it is. You cannot just jump on a horse and boom, it’s broke. Make it interesting! - Shows do the same as trainers, but whereas you only get one point per trainer, the prize in points varies for the shows and what placing you get. Shows are once weekly and the theme varies, you can only enter once per horse. Shows are judged on your posting abilities. -Foals that are born on the game get points as well, the parent’s points are added and divided by three and that’s how many points the foal will be born with. -Points are kept track of in the Records & Updates
Buying/Selling Horses -You can buy a horse from the sale area; current horses that are for sale are posted there. -To sell horses just post its information in the sale area. -You can offer a horse as a trade instead of buying horses for sale.
Breeding/Foaling -Both players of the horses must agree to the horses breeding before hand, unless their both yours, and it must be role-played out. -Mares carry the foal for 11 months (or 3 weeks on here) and then they can foal. -Mares can only breed once the foal the currently have is weaned. (3 weeks after the give birth) -I will make the foal stats. -I will keep records of when the mare foaled in the Records & Updates board and put when they can breed again. -Stallions can breed once per day. -No breeding allowed out of the Breeding Barn. -No foaling allowed out of the Foaling Barn.
Money -Boarding Fee: $100 per month. Meaning, the first day of every month, $100 will be taken out of your account, it is possible to go in the negatives. But this encourages active posting so you don’t, you cannot buy items if you are in the negatives. -You get $30 per post. -You can breed foals and once their weaned sell them for your choice price and earn money. -You can buy a horse and train it to give it points and show it and then re-sell it for money.

Notice: These rules/guidelines can and probably will be edited at any moment without warning. So this is your warning. Schuyler Van Alen
