【ℤA's Realistic Horse Breeder Registry】

【ℤA's】Realistic Horse Breeder Registry (or【RHBR】) is a collection of breeders on Horse World Online who aim to breed the most attractive and realistic purebred horses in the game! Registered Breeders must follow strict Breeding Standards for the breed they choose to work with. Only real-world modern horse breeds are allowed, as our Breeding Standards will be based off of real-world breeding standards!【RHBR】Breeders will also be given an overall Breeder Rating based off of the founder's rating of their current breeding population.
_____________________________________________________________________

【How do Ratings work?】

★/☆ is used to represent star ratings - ★★★☆☆ represents a 3-Star rating.
When a Breeder applies to join the【RHBR】they must submit their horses to be rated by myself (Ziel) according to the Breeding Standards I've put in place for each Breed, which are listed publicly at the top of each Breed's Registry Post. The horses will gain individual ratings based on how "correct" they are according to the Breeding Standards. Our Breeding Standards do NOT account for Stats / HGP, only appearance of the horse. The Breeder, however, will receive a Breeder Rating based off of the current overall quality of the horses in their【RHBR】Breeding Project - both their "correctness" AND Stats / HGP!

Part-Bred horses ARE allowed to be submitted towards consideration of a Breeder Registration, as long as they are considered over 80% blooded towards the breed being applied for. Outcrossing to different breeds is a valid and proven way of bringing in higher stats or other desired traits into a breed, especially in HWO.【RHBR】Breeders will not be penalized for using outcrossing in order to circumvent the game's limitations.

PLEASE NOTE: As the【RHBR】grows and changes, our standards and ratings will change, too! Please don't be alarmed or feel discouraged if your Breeder Rating drops due to higher overall Breeding Standards!

【RHBR Breeder Requirements】

• 【RHBR】Breeders must show that they have a breeding population of an existing【RHBR】Breed, with individuals of a minimum 2-Star rating as determined by the founder, Ziel.
• 【RHBR】Breeders must do their best to breed horses according to the Breeding Standards of the breeds they are registered to work with, and are encouraged to also aim for high Stats / HGP.
• 【RHBR】Breeders must be willing to make some of the horses they produce available to other【RHBR】Breeders via stud, trade, or sale - which should be held in the【RHBR】Discussion Thread. Public sale is optional, but encouraged in order to better the overall HWO horse population!
• 【RHBR】Breeders must conduct themselves in an honest and polite manner. We will not tolerate rudeness or dishonest practices such as horse-flipping. If you have a complaint regarding a【RHBR】Breeder, please ping Ziel with evidence on this thread so it may be dealt with.
• 【RHBR】Breeders must keep ALL【RHBR】-related discussion that is not submitting an application, asking a question, or reporting an issue with a【RHBR】Breeder within the【RHBR】Discussion Thread.
• 【RHBR】Breeders must not apply for a new Breeder Rating more than once per month. This is flexible, but frequent offenders will be given a warning, and may be removed from the Registry if they persist.
• 【RHBR】Breeders must understand that Breeder Requirements, Breeding Standards, and individual Breeder Ratings may change and evolve as the Registry grows. As they do,【RHBR】Breeders must aim to uphold the changes.

https://www.thesprucepets.com/meet-the- ... se-1886138 < the two studs, Easy Jet & Doc Bar, are more Thoroughbred than Quarter Horse
https://www.britannica.com/animal/Ameri ... rter-Horse
https://equestrianwriter.com/blog/2018/ ... ter-horse/
http://imh.org/exhibits/online/breeds-o ... ter-horse/ < Easy Jet, Doc Bar, Dash for Cash, Refrigerator, & Go Man Go are all more Thoroughbred than they are Quarter Horse.

I grew up in the west around Quarter Horses so I'll just add a bit of clarification, no offense to anyone. The dub 'quarter' isn't due to a quarter Thoroughbred lineage. The dub quarter originated due their success & explosive speeds at quarter mile racing.

There's technically three types of Quarter Horse.

Racing types are rangy/legged/taller and are sleek, lighter muscled & in a way look more Thoroughbred than Quarter Horse (Easy Jet & Doc Bar are racing QHs, both at least 3/4ths TB by pedigree). Halter types are sort of an intermediate, taller than stock but heavier than racing. They can still look TB in their sleekness, legginess, and longer backs.

Stock type are the original/foundation; they're the movie-famous/cattle-minding/old west horses. They're heavy boned, heavy muscular, well proportioned, broad bodied, short backed animals with angled croup and deep ribs ranging from 14.2 to 15.3hh (norm 14.2/14.3 to 15.1hh). Cutter Bill was a legendary hall of fame stock type QH & his grandsons are here http://myhorseforum.com/threads/cutter- ... 75.507618/


Thanks in advance for adding & apologize if too much info. Can assist in the breed standard creation if help is needed.

Hi there - thanks so much for your interest in my registry, and for all the info you've provided! You reminded me I needed to go through and update the Friesian information to include the three Friesian types! Means I'll have to re-evaluate my own horses and see where they land, too.

I'll go through this info and get to work making a breed profile for QHs!

I was just scrolling through; then I remembered something I had wondered a while ago about Gypsy Vanners in the game. Why do some Gypsy Vanners have mohawk-like manes and some long manes?

Przewalski Horse, which has mohawk-like manes, is in the lineage.

Dales > Fell > Exmoor Pony = Przewalski Horse x Tarpan
Clydesdale > Galloway > Exmoor Pony = Przewalski Horse x Tarpan
Friesian > Andalusian > Sorraia (also Carthusian) > Mongolian = Przewalski Horse/Tarpan x Tarpan
