Breeding Communities

Post by Revenant »

So my main interest here is helping locate people who would be interested in four particular breeding communities: American Cream Draft, Exmoor Pony, Hispano Arabian, and Spanish Barb.

At the moment, the EP has two breeding communities which I'm pretty certain isn't allowed and needs to be fixed. There is also no active person maintaining either community pages, which means a new one likely needs to be made.

As for the ACD, HA, or SB? I've yet to see a breeding community.

I'm not particularly interested in creating and maintaining four breeding communities, so if anyone would like to help with these projects it would be much obliged. I would offer any help I could, as these are my main four breeds and I'd really like to get more involved with the community. Insofar I have mostly been working on my own except for studs and the occasional bought horse, but I haven't had much communication with other breeders and I'd love for this to change.

Whichever breed doesn't have a current representative (I am not sure anyone besides me is breeding for HA at the moment, as none exist in game), I will run the breeding community for at least for now.

I breed and specialise in Spanish Barbs and Andalusians. I don't really have the time to run a community, but I'll help out where I can.

Thanks, Merrimac! :) My first thought is whether or not you would like there to be a breed registry or studbook in the community. I think it would be a good idea, with perhaps the idea of a hierarchy added. This way all Spanish Barbs could be registered, but those who are exemplary examples of their breed would rank higher.

Since the Spanish Barb no longer exists except in the Colonial Spanish Strain Mustangs, it's a bit hard to really narrow down exact conformation besides that of a four star horse. I imagine creating a specialized breed standard for HWO might be an important step. The Spanish Barb Horse Association's standard would be a good first step, but considering the variance between Colonial Spanish Strains, we'll probably have to modify a bit.

As for Andalusian horses, if you ever have any for sale, let me know! I need a mare to help finish out my HA breeding triangle: Baladi x (Andalusian x Thoroughbred). ;)
