-your character can bring one horse, max.
-this horse may be of any discipline but may not be under 6 years old or a stallion.
-don't make perfect horses, they will be denied.
-be realistic, if your character comes from a dirt poor family, and is here only by scholarship, etc. then don't have them bringing a horse!

the school
- you are not required to rp classes, but it would be nice if you did it every once in a while.
- students are not allowed out of their dorms after 11 pm on school nights.
- boys are not supposed to be in girls dorms, and visa versa. but what kid really follows rules?

the stables
- not all students are required to join the stable, but it is highly preferred since this site is mainly centered around horses.
- each horse [other than lesson horses] can only have one rider // care taker.
- it is preferred that you ride your assigned horse at least once a week, but it is not required.
- please do not overwork your horse. [ie. 3 times a day] if you do your permission to ride // take care of the horse will be taken away.
- students must go to Kayden Tristani [the trainer] to get a horse, request a school horse, or if they have money, etc. then they may bring ONE horse.
-lessons are offered by the schools trainer, kayden tristani. you must sign up for lessons and then he will accept you for them and you will roleplay them out.
-lessons are not required, just optional.
-you don't have to have a personal horse, you can just have a lesson every once in a while and ride a lesson horse
-if you get tired of your horse or kayden thinks you have outgrown it physically or in regards to talent he will take the horse and find you a new one.
-once you have your personal horse you can make a thread under "stalls" for him/her. you must have the required information - look under tristani horses for an example of the required information - but may have other information, we recommend all lesson threads, all showing threads, all show result threads, and all thread where you are just riding or playing with your horse.
-if you are bringing your own horse, wait for the horse to be accepted before you make their stall thread.
-make your riding realistic, their is no perfect horse or rider.

RPing
- each ic post must be 150 words minimum [there is a word counter at the bottom underneath the "post, preview, spellcheck, reset" buttons that updates automatically]
- this is an intermidiate roleplay, 150 words isn't that hard to do.
- please use some kind of indication when your character is talking. bold, italics, underlining, and colors are good for this.
- when joining please put 'super mario brothers' in the other section so that i know you read the rules.
- do not, do not, do not [!] post anywhere until your application is accepted. this means don't claim celebrities, don't sign up for classes or a horse or anything! i cannot stress this enough. this rule is broken so much and it gets tiring. wait to be accepted! the only other place besides the application board that you may post at is any board under the ooc category of the site.
- if you're going to rp out sex please put some kind of indication in the thread title.

ooc
