[li] Horses age one year on the 10th of every month.
[/li][li] Mares die at age 20.
[/li][li] Stallions die at age 19.
[/li][/ul]
[li] Any stallion can forcebreed you at anytime, as long as the next rule is not violated.
[/li][li] Mares must be at least 3 years old to breed.
[/li][li] Mares must be mated in order to claim lands. The King, her mate, will have slightly more power over her.
[/li][li] If you are claimed by a stallion, you must follow them.
[/li][li] Other stallions can steal you, unless their is an interference by your current leader.

[li] You can forcebreed a mare at anytime, so long as you're both of age.
[/li][li] Stallions must be 2 years old to breed.
[/li][li] You can claim lands at anytime, and do not need to have a mate. Be aware that if you take a mate, she will have almost as much power as you.
[/li][li] You can claim any mare.
[/li][li] You can steal a mare, unless their is interference by their current leader.
[/li][li] Stallions without a territory can only have up to 5 mares. Kings can have 7, including their mate.

[li] You are considered a foal until age 3 if you're a filly, and age 2 if you're a colt.
[/li][li] If the foal is born and not created, then it is played by the member who plays the mare.
[/li][li] You cannot participate in battles.
[/li][/ul]
[li] If the MOM (member of mare) chooses not to play the foal, the father has next priority. If neither parent wants to play the foal, the MOM can either kill off the foal or give it to someone else to play.
[/li][li] Breeding shouldn't be overly graphic.
[/li][li] Mares are pregnant until the next 'year,' so obviously you want to have her be pregnant closer to that time.
[/li][li] THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHEN BREEDING: Mods choose the gender of your foal. If there is ever a time when some power is getting too strong, meaning too many lights or too many darks, then mods will also choose which your foal is. Colts will be less likely to occur than fillies; this is too keep the balance in order.

[li] Kings have slightly more power than Queens.
[/li][li] Only the King can declare war.
[/li][li] Kings can have up to 7 mares in their herd/territory. (This may change as population increases.)
[/li][li] Kings can kill any unwanted foals in their territory, whether it is theirs or not.
[/li][li] If a King dies or retires, his eldest son takes over. If there are no sons, or are no children period, then the land goes back up for claim.
