-Your horse can only have one elemental power unless another is bought with points and granted by Dallas.
-Some horse names could be reserved, or taken. Please don't create a horse with the same name. It can get crazy if there are 30 horses all with the same name, so avoid situations like that.
-You can have as many horses as you want. But only one can claim Terra. We don't was land hogs, and it is unfair for many members. It is imperative that you keep them all active! Although you may become a Deputy of a land if you have Terra claimed.
-All of your posts must be at least 250 words long. There is a word count. Please use it. If they are not that long, then an admin or mod will ask you to modify it, and you will get a warning if it keeps happening. If you need help with the length, please contact a mod or admin for some help. =)

[Please see the fighting rules in the War Ground for the example]
- Each horse has 150 hp.
- If you have more questions about this PM me.
- You cannot modify your post after you have posted it. It is not fair to others if you do this. Do not try and change the outcome.
- You must reply within five days to accept the fight. When the fight goes on, you must post within two days to make your hits, or the horse that made the last RP post wins.
- If the challenger wins, they get all of the male’s females and other members of his herd. The females cannot leave the new male, but the males can leave from the herd if they like.
-If you lose the fight in the dice rolls, there is still chance that you will win. If your posts are far better then your opponents, then you have a good chance of winning.
Claiming Rules
- Male horses can only claim male horses if they own a Terra. This is very important. Male horses owning Terra need good fighters that will protect and teach the young foals.
- Female horses can also get force bread, [more info at the breeding section] and that is an automatic claim as well.
- Male horses can chose to go with the other male. They can't be force claimed
- You cannot breed force claim in one post. Not fair at all. You must give the female time to try and get away.

- There must be some indication of knowing that it is a steal.
- It must be in a riddle or poem, with the horse's name. It cannot be too hard, but it should not be too easy either. The riddle or poem must say where the horse lives at the time of the steal, the name, and the color of the horse.
- If it is a female stealing a male, the One that is being challenged, has two guesses. Ect.
- You have two days for each guess. You must have your two guess in by the end of the two days, or the steal is successful.
- Is both the guesses are wrong, the steal is successful.
- If you don't reply in three days with your two guesses, then the steal is successful.
- If one of the guesses are right, the steal is unsuccessful ect.
