Rules & Guidelines

Members

• No chain letters.
• No harassing other members.
• All members must be active. This doesn't mean you have to check the your email & the HC page every day & it doesn't mean you have to own a stable or hold shows or anything, but please don't join and then forget.
• No profanity or adult material.

Currency

• All members start the game with $300,000.
• Each member must have a bank account or at least keep track of his or her own money.
• To pay someone, send the money in this format: $$$AMOUNT$$$.

Horses & Stables

• All public stables must offer boarding.
• All horses must be registered.
• A mare must be in foal for two weeks before foaling (unless the foal is premature).
• If a member is found abusing or neglecting a horse, they will be immediately turned in to the HCSPCA. (Not that anyone here would break that rule.) For more information, see the SPCA rules.
• You may age your horse as you wish. There are no particular aging rules; your horse(s) won’t be killed off the game or anything (unless your horse develops a disease and your vet recommends putting him or her down).
• No mares or stallions may race once they have had a foal. (unless he/she jumps a paddock fence or something, you know what I mean.)
• If you buy a horse, email the registry and tell them. (Please don't fill out the registration form!)
• When a horse is awarded points for a show/race, etc., he gets a * for every hundred points. (i.e. If a horse named Star has 340 points, you could add *** after his name- Star***.)

After you join, you may buy horses or make them up and register them, and board at one of the public stables. The address of the message board, chat room, etc. will be emailed to you after you fill out the join form. Members need to check the message board to find out about HC updates, upcoming shows and races, horses for sale, and a lot of other imortant information.
