Horses.

We are open to all different horse breeds. The horses can be pure or mixed. Players may only own as many horses as they have stalls in their barn. OR if another player is willing to lease them a stall they may board. However the use of another players stall will me the player may not count that for their horses. Horses will age one the first day of spring. Horses must see a Vet & Farrier two times a game year. Horses live to be 30, this does not mean that they can't die before due to illness.


Breeding.


Horses may only breed from the age of 5 to 25. There is no breeding in the fall. Mare's may only have one foal a year. It takes one real month for mares to have the foal. Stallions may only have three foals a year. Foal are born with half the points of their parents. Foal are born at 6 months old and will age with the adult horses. All information for the foal will be posted by a admin or NPC when the foal is born. Once the owner replies with the name of the foal the horse information will be added to the horse record. Twins are just are rare as in RL & as in RL one may not make or will have heath problems.
