          How to play

* The maximum amount of horses you can own is 12.

*A horse dies (gets delted from the site) when it turns 31 years old.

*When you join you will recieve $100 000 SIM. Then you will recive $10 000 SIM every SIM year.

*Every horse must have its own tack, feed and vet, farrier checks. The feed, vet and farrier will have to be renewed at the start of every SIM year (2 real months).

*One sim year is 2 real months.

*Each person may only have ONE account.

*Anyone who wishes to sell one of their horse contact Ash at ashleigh_griffin_1112@hotmail.com with the horses name and how ever much you want to sell them for or say that you will accept any resonable offer, ash will then put them on the Member Horses for Sale board on the home page. If someone wishes to buy or make an offer on that horse email Ash saying you would like to buy that horse or make you offer. If you made an offer Ash will then email the owner of the horse and ask them if they accept the offer and if so the horse is sold for that amount, if not Ash will email the buyer asking if they want to make another offer.

*If you want to sell unwanted tack email Ash or Kate with the tack and price (don't put the price higher than the shops price bcause people will just buy new tack.) We will put it up under the 'news' board on the 'second-hand tack' board. If your tack isn't bought in 1 sim year the tack goes to the adoption and you get paid full price. If you want 2 bye a certain peice of second-hand tack you can put a wanted notice on that board, and we'll reserve it for you if we get it (also put a price range on your wanted notice). If the tack you want is already on the board just email Ash or Kate at  stubborn_filly1953@hotmail.com with the peice of tack, price and seller.

*A horse matures at 3 years of age. Either you can find an adult picture and email it to Ash, or ask Ash to find one for you.

 

          Show/Training Rules

*There will usually be at least one show coming up (unless Ash's too busy).

*To enter one or more of your horses in a show email Ash the horses' show name, skill, level, points, the total amount of the entry fee (if there is one), and the show.

*To train a horse they must have at least the amount of points for that level of training (there are 8 levels):

           -Level 1:50 points        -Level 2:100 points

           -Level 5:250 points      -Level 6:300 points

           -Level 7:350 points      -Level 8:400 points

*When you place in a show you win money and points depending on the place. But when a horse reaches level 8 and 550 points, the points won in a show change to money: 1 point=$5

*It costs $150 to train 1 horse, 1 level.

*Training takes 1 real month to complete.

*A horse cannot be shown when they turn 25 years old.

          Stud/Breeding Rules

*A horse can't be breed or put up for stud until they mature at 3 years of age.

*When a foal is born they start with their parents average number of points (father's points+mother's points divided by 2) but they always start at level 0.

*A foal's height is also their parents average height (father's height+mother's height divided by 2).

*A foal's discipline depends on it's parents disciplines (eg. if you want a show jumper breed a show jumper with a show jumper). 

*If you want to put a stallion up for stud email Kate with the stallion's show name, breed, discipline, height, points, and price of stud (you can determine how much to charge for stud by how many points and how highly trained the stallion has/is. The higher amount of points and training the higher you can charge for stud).

*Remember that you only have room for 12 horses in your stable. Should your stable be full before a foal is born then the foal will automatically go to adoption.

*Please don't breed more than two foals a year as it will be crowded enough as it is.
