Karabair Breeders’ Association

[Tenacious Equine]

Do not quote this message. I am subscribed to this topic.

Hello everyone!

My stock has kind of made it into other people’s breeding programs at this point, so I thought it would be a good idea to revamp this topic.

There will be special contests for this breed, as well as goals with both cash and horse-related prizes. Contests will be scheduled and announced periodically on a separate topic.

Contest topic will be linked here.
Studbook is linked here. The current studbook is specifically for movement-based studs; I will modify and/or add more studbooks as needed.

From theequinest.com:

Also called the Karabairskaya, the Karabair breed is one of the most ancient breeds originating in central Asia. (…) Today there are three different types of the Karabair breed, basic, heavy & saddle, although in recent years lack of demand for the heavy type has caused their numbers to decline drastically.

Commitment Levels:
Players may choose more than one commitment level. Commitment levels reflect the effort you want to put into your program.
Casual- just in it for the fun. Might do some breeding, training or competing here and there, but not very interested in establishing a program.
Competer- doesn’t want to breed, but is interested in buying and competing other players’ horses.
Trainer- is willing to train 3+ horses a week for the association.
Semi-casual- has a small breeding program (5-10 mares or pops a few foals every day they play) and periodically trains and competes their stock.
Competitive- has a large (11+ active mares) breeding program and trains and competes new horses on a weekly basis.
Color Breeder- forgoing the competitive side of the association, color breeders add whatever genes they want into their stock. They can be rewarded for making new genes available to the rest of the association.

Focus:
Focus is either discipline, stat or color-oriented. It’s what your goal is for your stock. Be specific (movement, dressage, mohawks and feathers, etc).

Need Funds/Stock:
If you are in a position where you either need money to pay for stud fees or buy horses to start off, an established member can help you with the money. Please don’t ask for money if you have enough but don’t want to spend it.
If you do not already have an established program but do have enough money for at least one breeding pair, put “yes” for need stock and I will hunt around for some horses that suit your needs (and budget).

Terms and Conditions:
May change at any time, but I will warn players if it does.

-Be courteous. Sore losers and drama instigators will not be tolerated.
-No begging or spam. Ask nicely if you need something.
-Do not lowball the horses of other members. This is more of a pet peeve than anything, but repeat offenses can get you kicked from the association.
-Stay on topic. Please don’t hijack the association’s topics to sell your other horses.
-Don’t flood the market. Please, please rehome horses that you’re not going to use, or give them to another member. Be strict about quality.
-On a related note, don’t underprice your horses. Karabairs are pretty rare and I can sell even my worst performing grinders for at least 400K each. Mares with green movement and stallions with gold movement should not be sold for less than 300K.

Rewards: TBA
