Our Horse Welfare standards apply to all SWEM Horses, Vanilla Horses (RHG), Donkeys, Mules and Skeleton Horses. Heights and Breeds only apply to SWEM Horses!
</aside>
All registered horses can be resized once for free to their breed size. Before purchasing a horse, make sure you are aware of the size of your horse as certain sizes cannot be ridden and/or compete. It is your responsibility to do your research before purchasing any horses from a player. Only REGISTERED horses can be resized to be able to properly track their height along side their showing records and pedigree.
<aside> ℹ️ Our height system was heavily inspired by Just Peachy’s video and server and altered to fit our needs.

All registered horses must have a breed. All horses with unknown parents can have any breed assigned to them during registration. Any horses bred to two pre-existing horses must take the breed(s) of their parents and have an appropriate height based on those breeds. Any horses bred MUST be registered by their licensed breeder.

Horses age one in-game year every one IRL month. This process is automatic and can be tracked via the horse registry. Horses can live up to 32 years old. After they reach the age of 25, you may consult a veterinarian for a wellness check to assess their overall health and determine if euthanasia is the most compassionate option based on their condition. After a horse turns 32 years old, they will peacefully pass away.
