- Please respect the Staff, we work hard to keep this site running.
foal statters
- Foal statters are not staff, they merely pass out the stats of foals.
- You can ask to be a foal statter, but do not be offended if you get declined.
- Each NORMAL member is allowed to do ONE foal stat PER SEASON, but either parents may not belong to you.
beta testers
- They are not staff, but joined before the official opening of the site to help with suggestions
- Feel free to ask them for help, they can help you just as much as a mod can!
horse's appearances
- Horses must be impure
[/li][li]Horse heights must be within breed characteristics. For example: There is no such thing as a 17hh Mustang! Also, you cannot have a 15.8hh horse! HH goes up to .3 therefor 15.8 would equal 17.2hh
[/li][li]Please, do not make your horses perfect! It's quite annoying to have the perfect horse. And being realistic, there is no such thing as a perfect horse.
[/li][li]Horses age every Autumn or Spring season, depending on when they were born.
[/li][li]Horses can be any color, pattern etc... There is no limit, the staff wanted to give members artistic expression, so use it!
[/li][li]You don't have to have a mutli-colored horse, normal horses are welcome as well, multi-colored horses are refereed to as the 'Equinox Horse'.
[/li][li]Wings, and unicorn horns, or spikes are allowed, but only to members who have been active 1 Month or Longer, but please ask permission!

- Stallions must be at least 3 to claim mares
- Territories can be claimed by only Stallions over the age of 3
- Only one terra for each stallion.
- When naming and making a description of your territory it must be named after a real place (city/town) or a big land mark (pyramids/egypt) Please be sure to read the wind description to figure out where the land should be based.
fighting
- Stallions fight for mares, lands, and rankings. Mares fight for rankings and foals, both can fight for fun.
- Fighting must be role played out, and must be posted at Honolulu, Hawaii. Challenges must be posted on your opponents lands with terms. You do not have to post at Honolulu, Hawaii until your opponent accepts the terms stated.
- You have 7 days to accept if you're fighting for a land, 5 for a ranking, 4 for a mare, 2 for a foal. The third part of the pass is do. If you do not reply in the time stated, you lose.
- You cannot challenge someone who is away.
- If you refuse a challenge, you lose.
- You cannot challenge someone until 2 weeks after their last battle.
- Royals however receive a 6 week rest before they can be challenged next.
- Queen challenges must be approved by the King first. Any lead mare and beta challenges must be approved by the lead stallion.
- Fights can be judged one of two ways, by a staff member, OR the fight is role played out until both character owners agree on a winner.
- NO power playing or god moding what so ever! An example of Power playing is : I looked the challenger in the eye, kicked him in the head, bit his ear off and he died.
- Speaking of dying.. a horse cannot die unless the character owner says it is okay. This should be settled BEFORE the fight.

- Foals age a year every week. After 3 weeks they age every Autumn or Spring (depending on when they were born).
- The parents must post their foaling thread, or they will not receive a foal.
