This is a one account per character site. When you sign up, sign up with the character's first name. If the first name is taken, do a first/last combo. Once you have completed the character application and it is completed, you must change your display name to the first, middle AND last name of your character. If your character has a title (such as Doctor), please put Dr. in front of the name change.

Like just about every roleplay out there these days this one is rated PG-13. That means there will be no sex, drugs, violence and all that fun stuff on page. HOWEVER, this can still happen behind the scenes. So please don't join if you don't think you can handle that. If you are planning on doing the dirty deed behind the scenes, please let us know.

Avatars must not exceed 150 pixels wide by 300 pixels tall. If you can not meet this size limit, please do not have an avatar or have someone have someone make one for you. Tables are permitted but if you are using a pre-made, the credit must stay on. Signatures must not be more than 550 Pixels in width and 300 pixels tall. All posted images must not be greater than 550 pixels in width.

This is a free-form, meaning we do not have minimum criteria for posting but do encourage at least 100 words per post. So that being said, you don't have to write a novel, but if we see one liners, we may have to work something out. People need to be able to work off your post ya know? Now here we role-play in third person. You may be thinking well duh, but I've seen some weird sites where people role-play in first person, never again I tell you! Now here is another obvious no god moding! I highly doubt you would be happy if you came across a post where someone controlled your character so don't do it to someone else. Now if you have permission to do so then by all means do it, but both parties must PM an admin account , which can be found on the side bar. You may also ask in the cbox if an admin is around and said party and then of course we will see it and know.

Please respect fellow players and the staff members. If you do not like someone keep it to yourself or go make an arch enemy for one of their characters. I don't care as long as it not OOC. We will not tolerate fighting in the Cbox and if we find out it's been happening in PM's, we aren't going to be happy. So just don't do it. Also no bashing anyone here or the site. It's not cool and it's not tasteful. How would you like it if someone just stared talking trash about a site you owned or liked? So please just try to keep the drama for the role-playing it's more fun that way anyway.

There is no limit on how many character you can have running around the site. We do however, somewhat limit you in a different way. While older riders are going to be more experienced, you can not just up and make an Olympian or champion titled horses. Showing is done in a very particular way, which we will go into detail in another post here in the Hall of books. Each character can have a max of 5 horses (this can be flexed for a driving team if needed). There will be an activity check each month. if you have not made at least 3 posts with a character for that month, they must be benched. A benched character goes back to stage 1 for any competing they have done that year. Sorry guys, just keep in mind what you can handle.

Please, don't register here and never do anything or register here, actually make a bio and never be active. I mean it's just wasting your time and our time. Now what defines being active? Posting at least two to three times a week with one of your characters not all but at least one of them. Now if you are going to be going away for more than five days, please please let us know. You don't know much it sucks to see a member has fell off the face of the planet. It is also really annoying when that happens and then two weeks later said person finally says they will be going away. It takes all but two minutes to post an away message. Now we understand if something crazy happens and you can't get to a computer but please don't lie to us by making things up. It's not cool to lie. If a person has not been active for four weeks and has not informed us then the account

No one under 18 years of age may own a stallion as they are usually much more dangerous than a gelding. No horse may exceed the height limits of it's breed. If you don't know what that happens to be for your breed, please look it up or ask another member for help if you can't find it. No rider can own more than 5 horses. Please keep in mind of what gender, discipline and age your horses are as that will effect where they are on the estate.
Only characters 18 years or older may rescue a horse on their own and train it. Characters ages 15 to 17 may rescue one with parental permission and the help of a trainer. If a horse is rescued but does not need to be re-trained, anyone may use it but we do recommend that the minimum age is 15.
