An Solas for lease by HeroHorse; asking 1,000c/week.

An Solas is a purebred Tennessee Walking horse whose name means 'The Light'. She is a foundation horse with a total of 120 stats (87 in physical traits, 33 in mental traits). She is a buckskin colour and is currently two years old, hopefully with a long and successful life ahead of her. I will allow the lesee to decide which discipline they would like her to specialise in, if they begin to lease her before she reaches the age of three. An Solas is registered with the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders Association, Gaited Horse Breeder Association and The Buckskin/Dun Association.

That's sad to hear. I sincerely hope that things get better for you, and there is no need to apologise. Life gets tough sometimes and nobody can do much about that. Hopefully we'll be seeing you again, you've contributed so much to this sim, what with the archives, associations and all sorts of things. I, for one, greatly appreciate you doing that. Anyway, that's all I'd like to say to you. I won't say goodbye or anything- just 'See you soon.'.

I'm so sorry, Oddly </3 Don't worry about it -- we'll be here whenever you're ready to come back ^^

Grr.. I hate going to my dads! I have no internet and missed the TWH event!

[SydneyandStorm]

Aww, I'm sorry, piaffes ^^' Don't worry -- there'll be one or two more, and then we'll have plenty of TWHs to come later!

If there are any breeds in particular you'd like to see made like this, just let me know on the suggestion <3 Existing breeds and giving only one request is ideal so that I can focus on them. c:

Trakehners. Do a Trakehner rescue event.

Sorry for submitting another suggestion, but I couldn't stay silent when faced with such a request. I found that the way that the Tennessee Walking horse rescues raised awareness on soring was very meaningful and certainly encouraged me to enlighten myself on that issue after adopting. My thoughts immediately wandered down this train of thought when you asked for suggestions for breed rescues. My mind immediately feel on the issue with Thoroughbred racehorses. Few racehorses are actually what would be referred to as successful; only about one in two horses ever win a race. Despite this, Thoroughbreds that retire due to an injury or poor performance can have the potential to excell in other competition disciplines. In real life, there is a great need for the rehabilitation and retraining of horses which end their racing careers without much success, but sadly there are more horses than there are good homes.

Thoroughbreds are often generalised as very sensitive and hot-headed horses. While this may be true for some individuals, as they are 'hot-blooded' horses, after time is taken to retrain them these horses can reveal themselves to have a wide range of personalities. I have had personal experience with two ex-racehorse thoroughbreds that were retrained and came into the hands of a local riding school. Both are gorgeous horses, both geldings (hmm, maybe some of the rescues could be geldings?) and I have had great experiences riding them. Therefore, a wide spectrum of attitudes would not be unrealistic, although sensitive and nervous attitudes may be more common than the rest.

Stat-wise, I'd just like to add that many Thoroughbreds, particularly those retired on account of injury and poor performance, suffer from problems with their legs and hooves. It would not make much sense to have a large number of horses with great stats in hooves and/or feet, although a handful of horses with good stats in this area wouldn't be unrealistic.

Thoroughbred horses do not go unloved on RVEC; the wonderful Thoroughbred Breeders Association is testimony to this fact. Ultimately, this is only a suggestion and I honestly not attempting to force you to take all this on board. Still, I hope that you consider organising a rescue such as this sometime in the future, as I believe that the need for good homes for retired Thoroughbreds is an issue which deserves awareness.

[SydneyandStorm]

Aha, don't you worry, HeroHorse -- I've got quite the plan for thoroughbreds <3 The breed is very near and dear to my heart, and I don't want to give out too much information -- but the event I've got planned is going to be a very big and hopefully exciting one c:

I'm totally not against doing a thoroughbred rescue event, either -- although I'd probably finish the standardbred one first, since that kind of got cut off ^^' Just don't want to leave a new breed with the only two horses available for breeding related to each other. I'd personally love to have more thoroughbreds in the game in general, but most people are still leaning towards warmbloods and drafts, so I've had to wait to release some.

Thanks so much for all the thought you've put into this request! I hope you won't be disappointed by this event, whenever I get time to run it <3
