Horses here, at Equorum, are as realistic as possible. This means no magic, no unnatural markings or sizes, and horses must be of realistic color. There are three types of bodies that will be accepted here: Hotbloods, Warmbloods, and Coldbloods.
Hotblood: Any horse that is fine-boned, generally adapted to be quicker on their feet, lithe in body and frame, and can have an agressive disposition, though not all cases are so. When thinking of hotbloods, think Arabians, Thoroughbreds, Saddlebreds, Akhal Tekes -- light and quick horses. These horses also generally have refined heads and frames, and their tail is set higher than a Warmblood or Coldblood's.
Warmblood: Any horse that is generally average-boned; not as refined as a Hotblood, yet not as bulky as a Coldblood. Warmbloods have dispositions that range, as they're the in-between of the Coldbloods and Hotbloods. Warmbloods make up the majority of horse body types, and when thinking of a Warmblood, horses you may consider are Quarter horses, Andalusians, Standardbreds -- well-balanced and muscled horses. Their tail is set lower than that of a Hotblood's.
Coldblood: Any horse that is generally heavy-boned; think drafts. These horses are sturdy, generally the tallest of the lot, and have generally calm dispositions, though ranges in this have been seen. When thinking of Coldbloods, think of Clydesdales, Belgians, Shires, Percherons -- heavy-boned and sturdy animals. Their tail is set lower than that of a Hotblood's, as well.
-----------------------------------------------
Horses here are allowed to breed at the age of three, for both genders, though it is not the most recommended. However, no one will stop you from breeding a three year old.
Geldings do not exist on Equorum, as this is a Wild Horse RPG, and (unless something happens, which is rare at best) the only two genders that exist in the wild are Stallions (males) and Mares (females).
