I was wondering how you get currency?

I was wondering how you get currency?

So everyone starts out with 10,000c, so like if you win a competition then you look for how much you win and you add it to your account. You can get money by selling horses, showing, leasing. But you also have to subtract money at times. Like if you enter a show you have to subtract money. Or if you but a horse you subtract that much out of your account this is my bank. This should get you going somewhat. The red is what I subtract and the green is what won/earnings. And you actually keep track of Your money on that thread also! Pm me if I need to explain more c:

Ohhh, I didn't know we could get four free imports. That's actually good to know.

Are there any rules to this? I might look some info up on the old thread.

Ah, well, unfortunately that's a thing for members who already had horses in the old sim -- however, I'll allow new members to have one free import where they can decide the breed and general color of the horse to make it fair ^^

Thank you so much for your question, APH Siantia! Soul Of Winter is absolutely correct cx

Hi, all! Just wanted to give you guys a bit of an overview about the two sections I'm adding to the front of RVEC!

Gelding

When a horse is unlikely to produce excellent progeny or excel on his own in the show ring, it may be in your best interest to geld that horse. Gelding can only be done to male horses and prevents them from ever having foals, but they will receive a substantial boost in showing and in trainability and willingness. The exact increase in trainability and willingness depends on their age and whether or not they have been bred, as follows:

Yearling: +4 trainability (up to 10), +3 willingness
2-3 year old: +3 trainability, +2 willingness
4-6 year old: +2 trainability, +2 willingness
7 year old+: +1 trainability, +2 willingness

If the horse has been bred, they will receive one less trainability point than if they had not been bred. Having straws drawn does not count as being bred and will not change the amount of trainability a horse will receive after gelding. Additionally, complications can exist when gelding a horse, and the older the horse, the more likely they are to have complications. Gelding costs 500c.

Lifespans

Unfortunately, death is a part of life, and as such horses will eventually pass away on RVEC. Different types of horses have different lifespans, so make sure you're familiar with them so that the passing of your horse doesn't take you by surprise.

Ponies: 25% chance of death after 35; 45% chance of death after 40
Horses: 25% chance of death after 25; 45% chance of death after 30
Warmbloods: 25% chance of death after 23; 45% chance of death after 27
Drafts: 25% chance of death after 22; 45% chance of death after 25

You will be informed on your horse's page once your horse has passed away.

Now that everybody is of breeding maturity, imma just repost this bad boy (;

Love that idea Syd!

Quick question in reference to associations, do we make our bank post on the bank thread or right in the association thread?

Also, I couldn't find a breeding maturity age, so I hope this is okay, as he's only two and I'm just going off real life maturity c:
