Breed Information
Below is a list of the current cross-breed names we're aware of and that will be used in the database from now on. It does not apply to every breed so don't try and do the same for Friesian Hybrid and Andalusian (Frielusian/Andasian/etc etc) as you would for Arabian Hybrid and Mustang (Abstang).
We're using registered crossbreeds only, if you are aware of some not here then you're more than welcome to tell us on the Question and Suggestion board. If you have any questions or are confused, then feel free to ask and we'll do our best to explain.

Difference between "Paint" and "Pinto":
Pinto - Tobiano/Overo/Tovero/etc of Any Breed
Paint - Tobiano/Overo/Tovero/etc limited to Paint, Quarter Horse, and Thoroughbreds
Skewbald - not a breed, also any color & white
Piebald - not a breed, black & white
Palomino/Buckskin/Cremello/etc - are recognized "color" breeds but are not acceptable breeds for the Members database because they are not in fact, breeds at all.
This way it'll provide variety instead of looking at a million "hybrids" and it gives people a better idea of what their character looks like. Or a better way to remember what breeds are in their character's bloodline if the same breeds are bred together over and over.
Oh and for say Pintabian Hybrid x Another Breed = Hybrid
This has been written by Kristin to help you judge what your horse is now called, and it also applies to those breeds not mentioned, in terms of if there are three or more breeds the horse will likely become a 'Hybrid', but it depends on the breeds involved, but if you are confused just look in the database to see what your horse is now (it will take us a while to get through them all so be patient)
NEW PLAYERS/JOINING HORSES: When joining a new horse, if the breed is one of those mentioned above please try and follow the new guidelines. If you do not understand it enough and don't want to make a mistake with the breeds, join the horse as you would and we will figure out what breed the horse will be. Check the database for when your horse is added and you will see what its breed will be called.
BREEDING SEASON: Try and look at the database come breeding season as to what your horse's breed is now called, but if it has not yet been updated or you enter it as it was (not as it now is) then the foal will either have it's new breed worked out when the stats are given, or it will have to be changed later on. So keep checking the database.
