        Welcome to the


        Origins
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Somewhere in the small corner of the planet that is Australia, stockmen for centuries have been breeding a specific breed of horse. The Dingo Creek Horses were found only recently on a working property in Queensland, Australia, on the outskirts of Dingo Creek, thus the origin's of this breeds name. They have otherwise been kept secluded from the rest of the country by the greedy workmen. These horses have been bred to show specific traits and have proved very useful on the farms such as plowing fields and pulling heavy weights around the large properties. A couple of these horses got loose when a very clumsy workman forgot to tie them up overnight during a cattle drive, and have since been selectively bred to enhance their traits and released to the rest of the world.
The driving motivation behind these guys is genetics - but don't let that turn you off! Seriously, you don't even have to know a single thing about genetics to be a part of this species community!

        General Rules
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

    It's gotta be said.
    • No rudeness, complaining, arguing, spamming, etc.
    • No art theft at all - This species is (C) Me and sasstiel
    • If you decide to leave CS, you can take these guys with you.
    • My signature is never to be removed from the image, and if taken offsite a link must be provided back to this thread.
    • A design will not be changed after it is made so only enter if you want it! Gifting and re-adoptions may be approved, but they must first go through me.
    • There is no limit to the number of DCH's you own, however there is a 7 day cool-down period from the time you won our last adopt. So if you won a DCH on the 10th, you may not win another until the 17th at least.

        Traits Possessed
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
A variety of different traits have been purposefully bred to create a sturdy, enduring and hard working horse.

Size
The Dingo Creek Horses are generally much taller than your average horse. On average, these horses have been measured to stand between 16hh (64 inches, 163 cm) and 19hh (76 inches, 193 cm) when measured at the withers or highest part of their back. Their size and added muscle lets them easily pull plows and heavy loads around working properties, and consequently aren't the best for racing. They are however seen in endurance competitions, and some are able to jump smaller scale jumps depending on their height. Some DCH's have been measured to stand taller than average (although rare) and as short as 14hh (uncommon).

Coat
These horses can have any range of different colours and markings seen in real-world horse breeds. There is however one certain coat "pattern" that have been unintentionally bred into them; birdcatcher spots. It is not known why these horses always possess this trait, and each horse is seen with at least one small random white spot on his coat, and it is very rare to see a DCH horse without one.

Dorsal Stripe
Now, with these stripes they possess a very peculiar trait. Somewhere along the lines these horses have genetic coding to make these stripes of any random colour - including bright flurescent pinks and blues. These stripes have their own set of genetic coding meaning the outcome of the foal may also show some surprises. The dorsal stripe ends just before the base of the mane and tail. It is extremely rare to see, but one may have two or more colours in the dorsal stripe.
While this trait is always seen in DCH's, they may not always be bright and glowing. In the case of a horse with a dun gene, this will sometimes overwrite the ability for a bright colour and instead will be the default colour of the dun stripe of a regular horse. The stripe may glow brown in this case, or not at all.

Eye
The eyes are slightly larger and built for seeing a wider field of view than regular horses. The colour of their eyes often reflects the colour of their dorsal stripe. Heterochomia eyes (two different coloured eyes) may also be seen in these horses.
The eyes are often a way to distinguish what colour dorsal stripe a horse with the dun gene might have had.

Feathers
As with most other draft horse builds, the DCH's possess feathers on their legs. Their fur is much thicker and longer than that seen in modern day horses, and doesn't serve much of a purpose. The feathering of females starts just under the knees and hocks before continuing around the hoof while males tend to possess longer hair. They also have a small amount of fuzzy fur under their chin. It is common for working horses to be clipped throughout the year so that not as much dirt and mud gets caked into them.

        A Guide to Genes

Like I said, you do not need to know anything about genes to take part in the species. However if you are interested or are an artist wanting to know a bit about the genes and how they work, visit the post here!

Currently, you have a chance at getting yourself a custom/semi-custom by attending one of our Dingo Creek Artist Streams!
These are held pretty randomly every now and then to give everyone a chance, they will most likely be hosted using Join.Me, in which case we can only give out a unique url each time a stream is started. Keep an eye on the fan club and this thread for these links!
