Oh, all breeds are fully eligible to compete! The problem is that people usually just don't want them to, like there's some stigma that driving is just for drafts ^^' Unfortunately I don't know about adding miniature horses and such -- as adorable as they are, we only have one lineart, and they'd look pretty weird on there!

So if we're keeping driving, would you all prefer to keep driving exactly as it is or introduce combined driving, with different stats and accessories and such for each of the three sports that make up combined driving?

True

Keep it as it is I think it's a little simpler for you right

[SydneyandStorm]

Hahaha, well, technically, but if it gets more people to compete and is more realistic, it wouldn't be that much more on me ^^

[Starwalker123]

OK

Actually, miniatures would work on this line art. They are just a shrunken version of a horse. From a distance, without anything to compare size with, they look like a fully grown horse.

See, if you pretend the person isn't there, the horse looks like a normal sized horse.

You know, I hear that often, and I'd love if it were true, but I really have yet to find miniatures that are consistently similar to horses in conformation except for Caspians and the rare few that are heavily influenced by the Arabian ^^' I'll be sure to think about it, though! The only thing is that they'd probably need a league of their own for competitions and such, and that might be a bit much to support since we're still pretty small and all... Definitely will think about it though <3

[Naeco]

Instead of making it a league all their own, just make every competition except driving become in-hand. And driving doesn't have to be a league all its own. Just make it so driving is compatible to all breeds including the miniature horse.

Well, the thing is, they'd have to be judged against only themselves -- it wouldn't be fair to judge them against other horses because those competitions deduct and award points based on the fact that they're ridden in competitions, and I just couldn't revamp the entire show system again ^^' But if it were only against themselves then what would happen would be that one person would get a lot of minis and then monopolize the competitions that were only for minis, so I don't know... Breeding would also get a bit interesting, hahaha. We'll see, but I do want to keep the focus of this game on regular sized horses so that I don't have too much on my plate and can keep the sim going <3

True true. Unless they were just set as companions to increase, let's say, mood in a barn. I don't know how that would be rated or shown but it would be kind of cool.

I'd like to suggest Selle Francais breed of horse. I'm a fan of them because they're so elegant. Here are some pics and it's just they would look super cute on the line art I think! Plus it's a French sport horse that does exceptional well at Showjumping, what its renowned for! Plus I think we need some diversity with countries and stuff so why not a French horse !
