Location: found in warmer climates, places closer the the equator, they tend to stay away from the mountains because their hooves are not built to climb over mountains and their coats are rather short and they don't grow for winter.

About:
Their eyes come in many color variations, but surprisingly, it is rare to find them with typical horse eye colors such as blue, brown and hazel(which is typically found on Champagnes)
They are found in horse colors, and sometimes but VERY rare, with almost a 1% chance, could be found with sable.
They can be albino or melanistic but it won't be able to be passed on to their offspring easily
They can be chimera but this is NOT a genetic trait so it can't be passed to their offspring, but there is a 1% chance that an offspring could be born chimera but this can happen to any breeding whether one or none of the parents are chimera, it would be rare if more than one in the litter was chimera this chance is so small it's close to impossible.
they are VERY smart and can get out of pretty much any situation, males have a bad temper that's hard to be controlled. Males can become really protective of offspring and their mate.
this is a wild species, very hard to tame and even if they are trained and kept in captivity they don't last very long and for unknown reason become ill and die. It is believed that the reasoning is due to lack of freedom.
Females are always 2+ hands shorter than males. The highest the males can reach is 16.1 hands, as females have never been found over 14.0 hands.
Females, like humans, are the ones with more colors often times prettier, though both genders come in lots of colors, females tend to have more markings, only females have the possibility of having the coloration of ticked/ticking, a dog color, but ticking is very rare.
Males tend to have two colors in one eye but both eyes will have the same two colors, so a male could have eyes that were half purple and half green. Only males can have stripes with the acceptation of leg baring on Buckskins and duns.

Breeding:
both horses MUST be 4 years of age or older to breed. A breeding MUST be between a male and a female, considering they mate for life. I have baby lines planned and will be posting a nursery line if I haven't already, the maker of the adult manes and tails will also design the baby manes and tails (the manes and tails of the babies might not be different depending on what the artist has drawn for the adults) a pair can breed 3 times so be wise with who you pair and when you breed.
They are born in litters normally of 1-2, three have never been known to survive and is a danger to the mother and the offspring.
Since they mate for life, you can't just walk in and ask to breed a random male and female together. You must own at least one of this species and have a partner, or you need permission from the owner(s) of the mated pair.
If you own a male, say he's the only you own if this species, you can find an unmated female and request the owners permission for them to be mates. If the owner says yes and you start breeding them, there's no going back, and since you don't own both, you and your partner in breeding for the pair must be okay and agree on who gets what breeding.
Once a pair has been set up, the owners will have to let the artist(s) who created the male and female to write on the first comment who the mate is so that other know they are not open for mating any longer.
The only time that you are able to determine the number of offspring and ensure that there is 2 in the litter, is if only one of the mates is owned by you. As said before you and your partner will have to agree to both wanting one from this breeding.
Babies may be placed up for adoption, you will know when they are for adoption because "Adopt me" will be placed above the baby. If there are two offspring from the litter then an arrow will point to which ever is the one being adopted out. From there the owner of the litter will have to decide who gets the offspring unless they pass it to the artist who made the litter.
Specific artists will or have been chosen to take breedings, we request that you are specific with who you want to take the breeding.
Before an artist starts drawing your breeding, they have I be able to put together the genetics they want the offspring to have, a mod who has been assigned specifically to verify genetics will verify if the coat color of the offspring is correct for the genetics the artist has laid out for the baby(s) or not, if not the mod will let them know what it would be so they don't have to take too much time with trying to figure it out.


Genetics list for breeding:

I really didn't plan for solids besides albino and melanism(which isn't always sold, just dark) a solid is really rare anyway in this species, and they don't come in a lot of the varieties that horses do. If you would like a gene added pm me and I'll see what I can do :3
They do not come in white(the color with pink around the eyes and nose, brown eyed in regular horse species) this is because they tend to be patterned and with solid whites, well the body is just all white.
They do not come in Fleabitten grey, (a light grey horse with red speckles, can also be expressed in Fleabitten bloody shoulder~light grey with red speckles closely by each other cascading down the neck and shoulder) they do however come in a bay bloody shoulder (dark bay with close together white speckles down the neck as shoulder)

Black base: AA
Grullo dun: (this gene doesn't have the DD or the ability to always be expressed) Dd(expressed) dd(carrier, not expressed)
Smokey black: (same gene as smokey cream only it's a one gene dilution where as smokey cream is a double dilution,but since smokey black and smokey cream are both black based this gene is represented by "k" and this Cannot be expressed as KK meaning it doesn't have the ability to always be expressed) Kk(expressed) kk(Carrier, not expressed)
Silver dilution:(silver dapple black) SiSi(expressed, always expressed in offspring) Sisi(expressed) sisi(carrier, not expressed)
Classic Champagne: (champagne does not have the ChCh or the ability to always be expressed) Chch (expressed) chch(carried, not expressed)
Grey(white-grey (light/regular/dark) dappled, ~on rare occasions steal~) (this gene doesn't have the GG or always expressed ability) Gg(expressed) gg(carried, not expressed)
Smokey cream: (double cream dilute; gives a Cremello color with a light/dusted sable look over the back, however, it is not sable and does not carry the sable gene) CC(expressed, offspring always express) Cc(Expressed)


Bay base:Aa
Dun: (this gene doesn't carry DD or the ability to always express) dd (carried, not expressed) Dd(expressed)
Silver dilution: (silver dapple dun/silver dapple bay) (if dun gene also present it will create the silver dapple dun if not it will create the silver dapple bay) SiSi(expressed, always expressed in offspring) Sisi(expressed) sisi(carrier, not expressed)
Amber champagne: (this gene cannot be ChCh, or the ability to be expressed in all offspring) Chch(expressed) chch(carried, not expressed)
Bright bay/cherry bay: Rr (red dilution)
Grey: (Bloody shoulder: bay body and white speck markings trailing from neck to shoulder, this gene doesn't have the GG or always expressed ability)Gg(expressed) gg(carrier, not expressed)
Buckskin:(this gene is a pearl gene that modifies only if the dun gene is expressed, making the body color almost the same as palomino, the mane and tail are black though, they tend to show a dorsal stripe and sometimes they show leg barring, if the pearl carries the double dilute it will cause the color Buttermilk Buckskin, the body will be expressed in almost a washed out Pearl color close to Isabella palo, the mane and tail will remain black) Pp (expressed) PP(expressed, all offspring will carry/express) Ppp(this causes the buttermilk buckskin) pp(carries not expressed)
Seal/Mealy Bay: (this gene cannot be expressed as SeSe, or the ability to always be expressed) Sese(expressed) sese(carried, not expressed)

Red base: aa
Red dun: (this gene doesn't carry DD or the ability to always express) dd(carrier, not expressed) Dd(expressed)
Cremello: ( carried from the same dilution as smokey cream, but unlike smokey cream, it is found in red bases and is only one dilution as smokey is two) CC(expressed, offspring always express) Cc(expressed) cc(carrier not expressed)
Perlino: PP(expressed, offspring always express) Pp(Expressed) pp (carrier, not expressed)
Gold Champagne: (this gene cannot be ChCh, or ability To be expressed in all offspring) Chch(expressed) chch(Carried, not expressed)
Grey: (dapple rose) (this gene doesn't have the GG or always expressed ability) Gg(expressed) gg(carrier)
Palomino:(and addition gene, often associated with more of a Pearl, if this gene has a Double addition it causes Isabella palomino which is close to Pearlino, the mane and tail remain white but the body is more of an off white cream) PoPo(expressed, all offspring express) Popo (expressed) popo(carried, not expressed) Popopo(causes Isabella palo, expressed)
Seal/Mealy Brown: (can come in dark seal brown if closer to bay then red base) (this gene cannot be expressed SeSe or the ability to always express in offspring) Sese(expressed) sese(carrier, not expressed)
Flaxen: (this gene is an addition gene, causes flaxen chestnut, if it's Expressed in a double addition it makes flaxen liver chestnut) (cannot e presented as FlFl or the ability to always be expressed in offspring) Flfl(expressed) Flflfl(double addition expressed) flfl(carried on expressed)

Patterns:
maximums and/or extensive will always produce litters with whatever pattern(s) they have maximum and/or extensive gene in
Cannot come in varnish roan

Tobiano: Tototo(minimal) Toto(regular) or ToTo (maximum)
Overo: Oo (regular) OO(maximum)
Sabino: Sasa(Regular) SaSa(maximum/extensive)
Stripes: (males only) Ststst (minimal) StSt(maximum) or Stst(regular)(females may carry the stripe gene (stst) but it won't be expressed)
Ticked/ticking: (this is only expressed on females with either sabino or tobiano, it will be speckles on the white of the coat, often mistaken as Fleabitten, males may carry this gene (tt) but it won't be expressed) TT(expressed, offspring always express) Tt(expressed) tt(carrier not expressed)
Roan: (blue, strawberry/red, bay) Rr(regular) RR(extensive)
Muchando: MM(extensive) Mm(regular) Mmm (minimal, also called spotted blanket)
Sable: BB(extensive) Bb(regular)
Few spots/leopard: FF( expressed, always expressed in offspring) Ff (expressed)
Brindle: BrBr(thick brindling, brindle expressed on offspring) Brbr(expressed) Brbrbr(very mild, thin brindling expressed) brbr(carried, not expressed)
Sooty: (this is caused when the grey gene is expressed with another gene such as palomino, dun, and buckskin

Example:

This female has the gene expression of:
AA/Cc/Sasa/TT/gg
The order is base/dilutions/patterns
Her color would be Smokey cream ticked sabino.
She is black based, so I her mate is bay, their offspring have more of a chance to be black base than bay, if her mate is red based, her offspring are most likely to be bay based. she carries the grey gene but it is not expressed, her offspring will carry it but only have a possibility to express this gene if their father carries Gg. all her daughters will express ticked as Tt, even if they don't have sabino or tobiano they still carry the gene.

Artists who are assigned to be allowed to take breedings better prepare to use the Punnett square often.

I will also be assigning mods to be able to check over the genes for any artist who might be either unsure of the coloration the litter will have or would like to double check to make sure the coat color is correct.

This horse like species is under way! I have much of the information set up and ready for the opening in August!
But I need your help! I can't do this on my own :3

[Firedancer77]

Lion-Tailed Ponies? Just a suggestion. ^^

[Fuscontidox]

Well they also have regular tails too, I jut can't decide which I want showin currently :3

I have to edit the about information, and do a whole hunk of other crud

[Firedancer77]

Ah, interesting. ^^ Well, good luck! These look great!

Tailings is another suggestion.

[Kiwilady]

I love these

[Fuscontidox]

Thanks ^^ they still have quite a bit of work, including the nursery lines which I had drawn out, but they got ripped and ruined so I have to do it over, I'll prob draw it on the screen using expo markers ^^

[Kiwilady]

Cool!!

[Fuscontidox]

I will probably fix the shadowing

If anyone sees anything that can be done better let me know, this species is still in the process of being fixed before I add kkspecial4 (who won the contest for these guys) and any other artists I later hire.
