Claiming and Herd Rules

• If a land is empty it is claimable.
  
• If someone has already claimed it, the only way you may claim it is if you fight. If you make a correct challenge and no one answers within a week; the challenger receives the herd. He/She is then given the options with what to do to the members of the herd.
  
• You may have up to one land per each of your characters. Though, you cannot have them all. ^.^
  
• Darks in Dark Herds, Lights in Light Herds...y'all know the drill I hope.
  
• You may fight to have a position in the herd/Fight for other mares.
  
  Fighting
  
• No unrealistic fights, like Kung-Foo things. No Jackie Chan Horses. XP
  
• No Power-playing. Nada, Zip, Zero. Get my drift?
  
• Stallions are stronger than mares, so they cannot post like this "Tina over powered George" No, they cannot. Stallions would win in real life.
  
• Horses may join into the fight in the beginning, but not in the middle or end.
  
• Message me or another MOD/Admin before or during a fight. We are on a LOT. So we can REALLY judge it.
  
• We will tell you if your horse(s) faints, dies, loses, wins, can do more than that, 'kay? We will judge this on wounds and such. Age matters too.

  Breeding & Reproduction & Mates
  
• You can mate with anyone, BUT the mare must join the stallions herd if so, or vice versa.
  
• Force-breeding is allowed to a limit.
  
• Message a staff member for your Foal's stats.
  
• No Breeding until mature age of 3.
  
• They don't have to be of the same breed of equine.
  
• Horses can find mates after being at the site for a week, breeding at a week and a half. Very strict about this.
  
• A stallion can force breed any mare that comes onto his territory without his initial permission, unless it's an Allie.
  
• You may force bred only of these conditions: A, your horse is rogue, and b, your not in an OOC// ares, and c, don't be descriptive unless you ask the person who owns the other horse.
  
• Up to 2 foals can be born, your considered lucky if two are born.
  
• Foals are born anytime after they become an existence. ^.^
  
• It bugs us staff that horses who are looking for a mate, they just out of no where ask to be mates or ask to go the the Redwood Caves or even just say I love you immediately. Say, if you are a horse. Your looking for a mate. You find this horse. You know this much: It's a Stallion, I'm a mare. That horse is a grey.
  Thats it. you know the gender and color. You say hi, they say hi, then you talk a bit, and then ask would you like to be my mate.
  Would a horse do that?
  We've have done this, yes. And now that we think about it, thats just unrealistic.
  
  What if you just role-play to fit your horses mate?
  Then that will just mean that horse is just no longer yours. It's a fake horse.
  
  If you want a unique horse, a realistic horse, or a horse just a great horse that has it's very own personality, then I suggest you follow this.
  
  Your horse is your horse, and not the robot that only mates and follows your mate like a robotic friend. Your horse is your horse, so make it yours!
  
  Other Horse Rules
  
  • Be creative with your breeds of horses
    
  • If you are a pure bred horse, you must have a REASON you are wild now.
    
  • Any aged stallions can be rouge, mares though cannot be rouge their whole lives. The dangers would just be to great.
    
  • A rogue stallion may steal mares from a herd by fighting or complete stealth.
    
  • 
    
  
  
  Breaks and Injuries
  Well, Iweve noticed a lot of people who really don't get it. In real life: A horse falls on it's leg at a full gallop, breaking it. Yeah, there's bearly a chance of it living, non the less getting up. They cannot move! What happens if you get a break? Heres your possibilities:
  In Fighting:
  1) Give up, and ask nicely if they'd spare you or get them some help.
  2) be killed Hard headily, not willing to get or ask for help
  3) With special permission, and a certain breed of horse, Maybe an Admin will allow you to move, for one last turn... Doubtfully though. VERY doubtful
  
  Not in fight:
  1) Call for help
  2) Hardheadedly don't call for help.
  
  If you have any questions, PM a staff member or go to Questions/Answers.
