We need more shires XDXD

i'd say do apps, for the sole reason that thoroughbreds can at least be approved as most warmblood breeds, while appaloosas are only used for creating breeds like the stonewall sporthorse

by the way, i've elected to put out pure nokota foals for 1500c each! these are guaranteed foals, you don't have to pay breeding fees or anything besides that one-time fee. if you'd like i'm willing to take breedings in exchange for a reduced price, feel free to negotiate with me! just let me know here or via pm. unfortunately, due to the nature of breeding i can't guarantee anything except the coal itself.

apologies for the double post, but i have some announcements!
first off, the RVFHA has a new poll posted! please help us choose our brand and its placement!
additionally, the coding on the RVFHA front page has gone awry. if anybody can fix it for me i'll give you a nokota foal at half price (750c) since i've yet to find a way to get it done, aha.
lastly, American Gothic is now for lease for 109c/month or 27c/week, depending on your payment method. this is a full breeding/competing lease; you may breed and compete with this stallion to your heart's desire. you may keep 80% of competition winnings and 100% of stud fees. you may edit his stud fee and specialty; i only ask that you do not resell any of his tack or change his name. much of this is negotiable; please pm me if interested!

welcome to the sim!! if you're looking for a first horse we're in the middle of an Around The Wod event, so a lot of breeds are being made available for adoption! as well, a lot of players have horses for stud, lease and sale at the moment. best of luck!

[brindle.]

ah okay thank you !!
can someone link me to the for sale horses?

[caf.]

from just poking around, the only already-born horse i could find that hadn't had his ad taken down was this handsome fellow. i'm unsure if other barns are willing to conduct private sales. either way, i can list out what my barn has to offer and perhaps others will chime in.
CAVALLO CT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:
- nokota foals from this pairing for 1500c each - if you're any good at coding, fixing the coding on the front page of the RVFHA will get you a nokota foal at half price
- event prospect warmblood foals from this pairing for varying prices - much more expensive, but are known to be of high quality and of one of the sim's best eventing lines
- lease this mustang stallion for 109c per month or 27c per week - with this lease you can breed and compete with the stallion to your heart's desire
- breedings are available from this cream draft dressage stallion for a lower price than the higher-level warmblood, if you can't afford the pure KWPN foals
if you're interested in any of these services, please feel free to pm me! myself and other users are more than willing to help you find a dream horse!

Anyone have any purebred APH for breeding?

[SydneyandStorm]

So I've been thinking -- the problem with barrel racing, jumpers, and cross-country is that they essentially all share the same traits -- forelegs, shoulders, hind legs, and hindquarters. In effect, it naturally really makes good sense to breed a barrel racer to a jumper or XC horse to strengthen that horse's ability in one of those particular disciplines. Problem is, in real life, that would be a disastrous combination, and the foal would never do well in the top levels of any of those disciplines. Their body types are completely incompatible.

So! With that in mind, I'm considering adding a new factor to breeding so that if you breed two horses together that produce a foal that would be completely wonky in the real world, -2 stats are subtracted from each area or something... I don't know, I'm open for suggestions. What do you guys think? I know -2 sounds harsh, but it's tending now that the horses that are currently being bred to one another can get a boost that far surpasses that amount! I'll leave it open to discussion, and this definitely isn't set in stone, but I do want to encourage responsible breeding and unfortunately in some cases, especially with barrel racing, jumpers, and XC, it's only the general decision to not do that that keeps anything from happening -- the results are often great horses going by the standards on RVEC!

So please let me know if you have any thoughts on this -- I'd certainly love to hear them <3 (By the way, this is not directed at any particular user or breeding, I promise! I'm just having flashbacks to what started happening on the last RVEC with nonstop, unrealistic crossbreds and want to make sure I am equipped to better encourage responsible breeding this time! c:)

I agree with Syd. In real life you would want goals that won't have problems.


Also, I see we have registered names now. Lol how would I get one for my babies?
