Hands Explanation
So basically, hh means 'hands high', and a hand unit is four inches. By the way, i don't suggest using a calculator to figure out a horse's new height!
To convert inches to hands, divide the number of inches tall your equidae is by four and the remainder is added after the radix point/decimal.
For example; say you have a 50in tall equine, divide by 4 to get 12.5. This is not the horse's height! A hand is only four inches, so instead of .5 you put 12.2, meaning the horse is between 12 and 13 hands high.
Because there is no such thing as a 15.4, 15.5 or 15.6hh horse(:
Now say we have a foal standing at 15 inches at the withers, divide by four and you get 3.75. Do not use 3.7hh as your horses height. You instead put 3.3hh.
It's really simple really once you understand this measurement. 12hh is an even horse height, 12.1h is three quarters away from being 13hh. 12.2hh is between 12h and 13h, and 12.3hh is basically a quarter away from being a 13 hands high horse.
from now on I will not accept a user to adopt a horse if you put an inaccurate height.

Crossbreeding between two different species results in a sterile hybrid offspring. Go [here] for classification.



The Equidae Reserve's Data

customs and health

-Customs are closed unless posted on the main thread
-Equidae are not exempt from disease or medical issues, which must be resolved either through time or medicine
-Health can go down from competitions, breeding, or seasonal illnesses
-To keep up the health of your equidae, you must post some sort of development of your Equidae's character at least once a month. For example, post it's personality, short story, art, or poem.
-Basically, health equals character. Show me you are taking care of your horse like a real character.

breeding

-Breeding is closed for the time being
-Twin foals are exceedingly rare
-Only natural breedings are permitted at the reserve (mare x stallion)
-Foals take about a month to age, born as a newborn on their mother's page, then going through foal lines, then moved to it's own page. Patience is required to have a healthy horse.
-Once bred foals can go up for auction, only once a month though, so choose carefully! There is a two foal a month limit to how many foals you can buy, but if the price exceeds 5,000 dae then you may only buy one UFA foal a month.

competitions

-There will be different types of competitions, either based on luck or skill
-There is a monthly stable competition in which the stable with the best horses will be given a ribbon
(sometimes poll decided, luck decided, or flat out skill average decided)
-Equidae with a placing of 1-10 get a ribbon per competition

stabling

-To stable your Equidae, create a new thread to house them (like a character thread)
-This is the only way your Equidae will be legible to enter in the competitions
-Show names are encouraged alongside having a simple barn name

skill average

-Skill is a number that every equidae has, owning up to a role in its offspring's skill average, and competition rating
-Bred foals will have more skill points than their parents
-Foundations are given a skill average by random generator
-You cannot change the skill average yourself
-To gain higher points either buy tack, train, or enter in competitions

currency

-Daenies/Dae are the Equidae Reserve's main source of currency
-Each registered member receives 10,000 daenies, then 300-1000 per week depending on activity
-Don't spend all your money at one time.
-You can choose to have a stud or broodmare fee
-In each competition, both the victorious and the not so lucky will receive more Daenies + Skill according to rank

[Medd]

Shop

tack is not added to your equidae's image but is recorded in the information on its page.

-Post the form on your chosen equidae's oekaki page so i won't miss it
-Your equidae must have a bridle, saddle, and saddle pad before entering in competitions
-Training can be bought once a week per equidae. (7 days after posting it's first training)

I advise keeping money in your bank or start saving up, offering breedings, etc.

Note; now adding equine links but this is a massive work in progress, please be patient <3
On a side note; I am going to be averaging the dae between all the members, this will then be the dae everyone begins at. It isn't fair for the older members I know, but there is an awkward unbalance from the beginning otherwise.

Stables
Please post me your stable / reserve for your horses in PM
Example of a Stable / reserve: Birchfiled Stables
This is important because without a stable you can't compete in contests

Wild Equids

Every so often a wild equid will appear on an adoption page! To tame this quid, a raffle is held. This does count toward your one equid per two day rule! Once the winner of the raffle is decided, the winner has to spend 750dae or more on it for it to be broken in. Once the horse is broken in, the user keeps it and the horse gains an extra 5 skill points!

Working equids

You can offer your equids for work at farms and stables. This earns your horse more skill points, but it has downsides also. Because the horse works hard, the owner has to buy replenishing items to replenish its health from the equidae shop, which costs. You're exchanging skill for dae essentially. The horse can work once a week and in this time they earn + 2 skill for each day they complete. (You can earn a maximum of 2 skill points a week from this, it may not seem like much, but I don't want loads of equids with really high skill points xD) You can't purchase tack on the same day that you work your equid. The health your equine looses is never anymore than 50% You can buy maximum of 2 items in advance.

Equidae Shop

Carrots - cost 100 dae - replenish health by 5
Oats - cost 250 dae - replenish health by 10
Proteins - cost 500 dae - replenish health by 25
Granola - cost 750 dae - replenish health by 50

Posting is open -
Feel free to repost your original form and mark
Artist contest coming up this weekend!
Breeding contest will restart also, but old entries count for anyone who is also interested in that.

[Freedom!]

So glad to see this back up ^^
Just curious; do the horses from the old thread still count alright even though you won't be able to edit all their profiles to update information?

[Medd]

I'm still partially undecided, but yes at the minute, it'd seem a waste to not count all of Gators work on the horses, so they'll still count, but they'll need to be updated by me with the post that they were adopted on. I'll get a list of horses and skill soon sometime. It'll be sorted over Christmas and hopefully running soon! C:

[Freedom!]

Great, if you need any help with anything I'd be happy to lend a hand, don't hesitate to let me know if needed!
