Ohhh a discussion!! One thing that I just thought about was surrogate mares, for those people who only have a stallion and maybe want to breed but not to an already made mare would it be possible to have a mystery mare for that stallion and the stallions owner pays a slightly larger then normal breeding fee and then gets the off spring? Just an idea, also will you need artists anytime soon? I'm bad at making lines but i can totally color horses that already have lines made for them

That's certainly an interesting idea! However, the breeding formula requires that I have both a mare and a stallion in order to create the proper stats... You understand, I'm sure <3 However, I'm sure there will be mares available to breed with that you like soon enough! ^^

As for artists, when this gets bigger, I'm sure I'll be looking for some, but for now I'm trying to be careful not to overwhelm the sim with adopts c:

marking.
I'm interested in taking an artist position, though I doubt I can get to the computer often. Either way, I'm really excited for more members to join this thread as well as the sim itself!

[GingerTheWolf]

I would also be intrested when your taking artists as I will be able to get to the computer more often

When we buy other people's horses, are we allowed to change their Disciplines
