Rules

Please do not use any animals for stud or sale (animals not bred by you). Please note I will review pedigrees of all linked horses as want to have an increased gene pool available for each breed.

Please you can not have animals of the breed you choose already on your farm. Please note I will review your main (and side) farm before you start. This is to level the playing field.

Please bred at least 10, preferably more, animals of the breed. They can be sold or not please keep horse's links/numbers so can be reviewed.

Please try to aim for 5 star evaluations for animals. You can purchase books for evaluating animals here. Lower evaluations will also be considered

Please try to keep from "extreme" (absolutely no offense to anyone) looks - e.g. very stubby legs, croup that slope too much, etc. Very sloped croup example.

Please try to maintain a lower COI %. This maybe hard with some of the breeds but I believe a 80% COI as the "cut off" if you would is fair.



Notes:
If you get other players to help (e.g. cash, horses, etc.) note there will only be one prize for the top contestant. Note if other players help they can not sell/stud you a horse of the breed.


Evaluations
Each linked horse will be evaluated for points on a point system. The highest points earned earns the top prize. If there is a conflict between Player A & Player B on who scored better there'll be a public 'vote'.

Breed evaluation - 1 star = 2 points (e.g. a 3 star evaluated horse = 6 points)

Exceed COI "cut off" - 10% = minus 1 point (e.g. horse's COI is 90% = minus 1 point)
Below COI "cut off" - 10% = plus 1 point (e.g. horse's COI is 70% = plus 1 point)
Note if the COI is too imbalanced among breeds this evaluation will be scraped.

Use of animals for sale/stud (animals not bred by you) - minus 2 points each animal in pedigree

Horse "extreme" appearance - minus 1.5 points every aspect (e.g. stubby legs & very sloped croup = minus 3 points).

I have a question, if we have already bred a horse on this list, can we start over and do the breed again. Such as I already have three Indian Country Breds, but if I didn't use them and started again from sractch, would that count? I have none of the parents of the existing ICB's either. Just start more Indian Country Breds from scratch again. Because I really like them and would love more.

How the winners get the pony tokens? Are you a administrator?

One doesn't need to be an administrator to give tokens to others.

Wait, so are we allowed to use studs and sale horses? I hope I can win, i want to become premnium, and how are you going to give us pony tokens?

Unfortunately, no you are not allowed to use studs or animals for sale of the breed. I will check horses.

*How long do we have to do this?

I hope we have a longgggg time to do this.

I have 6 months in the back of my mind. Might be less, might be more. The contest won't technically close until everyone who partakes can supply the links to at least 10 pure breeds of their breed.

I have a question: How are you going to give us the pony tokens? Also, I am going to enter but does the foal have to be purebred? If not, can it be a mix of TWO RARE breeds, would that be good, or does it need to be purebred?
So here is my entry:
1. 778catsdogshorses33
2.none
3. Ban-ei
4. No one so far
Be aware, it is going to take me many many days to complete this

Yes the horses have to be pure bred.

To the ongoing questions of how you'll get the pony tokens

How it works is I'd purchase through real life cash the pony tokens but instead of putting my name down as the purchaser I would put the winners name in. This redirects the pony tokens to the proper accounts.

[SilverSaddle]

Can You buy or stud a horses that you creating the new breed from, or you have to use horses that already in your farm?
When the contest starts? After you giving your details, or you have a starting day? Thank you!

[SilverSaddle]
