Stallions OPEN For Breeding*5/31/23* I am in the process of updating this journal - this list is not final yet.
*HOWEVER: Horses with their genotype next to them are UTD on this list AND on their refs, so feel free to request breedings from them! :heart: 
~Rules~
Each horse has it's own requirements and breeding fees. However, all horses open for breeding have some rules in common that are not listed on the horses page/info. 
For example, I always get one free, unrestricted breeding slot to the foal (I may not use it, but I like to have it reserved in case I want it).
So, please be sure to read WBS Breeding Rules to read about the rules restricted to all of WBS's open horses, and to find the form you need to fill out to request a breeding.
Thank you, and happy breeding!

:bulletgreen: You may send in a breeding requests so long as you have an ARPG stable on dA. You do not have to be a part of the HARPG or HEARPG groups, I wont be checking. However, I will only allow breedings from my horses to people who already have established stables on their dA account. That means people who already have at least one horse for their stable with at least one show entry or training image in their gallery.

:bulletred: You are NOT aloud to use other peoples lineart for the breedpic, or re-use your own lines from previous breedings/images. Its okay if the artwork is simple, but try to make sure that the horses colors and markings are correct. The breeding image must be full body with a background (shading is optional) unless otherwise stated. 

:bulletgreen: You may request a breeding between two of my horses, though you will have to pay both of their breeding fees. However, only one breeding picture featuring both horses will be required.

:bulletred: Only ask for a breeding between horses you have permission to breed (your own horses or someone else's so long as you have their permission- you should be listed under their breeding slots in their ref info if you have permission).

:bulletred: In most cases, I will allow you to design the foal if you wish. However, if the foal is designed by me, it MUST permanently carry the WBS prefix in its registered name! I would also appreciate that the foals show name be a mixture of the parents show names, but this is not a requirement. Some horses may have name requirements for their foals so please double check their refs for such requirements.

:bulletred: You may NOT breed my horses just to get a foal that looks identical to my horse. The foals design must be visibly different than my horses design. If you're designing the foal, I must okay the design to ensure that it is realistic. If the design is too similar to my horses design, or if the design is not true to the genotype agreed upon, you will be required to change the design until it meets the criteria.

:bulletred: I reserve the right to one free, unrestricted breeding to the resulting foal for free- regardless if you sterilize, geld, sell, or decease the foal, this rule remains. I am free to use the breeding whenever I wish (including if the foal is underage, being as we don't necessarily have the same time lines).

:bulletred: When you request a breeding to our horses, your stallion or mare must be shipped to our property. If it is our mare who is pregnant, she will stay with us throughout the pregnancy, and the foal will remain with us until 6 months of age when it is weaned. Your staff is encouraged to visit at any time during the pregnancy, vet checks, birthing, and weaning process. Once the foal is weaned at 6 months of age, you take it home to your stable. If it is your mare who is pregnant, she will only stay with us for the live cover, and will return home with you after the pregnancy is confirmed by a veterinarian. 

:bulletblack: I may request that twins be born so that I can have a foal from the breeding, as well. Unless both horses in the breeding are mine, I will draw a breeding pic too, and will design my own foal. You will also be gifted an unrestricted breeding slot to the foal we keep. We will discuss this together, of course, and I will not surprise you with twins without consulting you first.

:star: To request a breeding and/or to use a breeding slot, please send me a note with the title: BREEDING: [my horses name]
Remember: the name of the horse is the name of my horse you want to use.

Please include the this breeding form in the note:

- Link to Stud:  [Link]
- Link to Brood:  [Link]
- Do you want to design the foal?:  Yes/No
- What color and genotype would you like the foal to have?:  Please list the color min. - I can help you with the genotype if needed!

:blowkiss: After the breeding is approved... :blowkiss: 
:pointr: Whenever you are ready, you draw a breeding pic of the two horses. If the breeding is between a horse of yours and several of mine, they may be in the same picture. Same with if the breeding is in between several of your horses and one of mine. (for example, three mares and one stallion). You are welcome to feature the horses out to pasture together, or in a more professional setting with handlers.

:pointr: Foal designs may NOT be posted until AFTER the breeding image is posted. 

:pointr: If I am designing the foal, I will upload and tag you in the finished design. You will then have 1 week to upload the foals reference. If you fail to meet the deadline, I will repossess the foal. If you are uninterested in taking the foal home after seeing their design, let us know ASAP! We will redesign it until you are happy with the outcome.

:pointr: If you are designing the foal, you are welcome to post the design any time after you've posted the breeding picture. Please send me a link to the foal so that I may approve the foals design. Foals not designed by us do NOT require our WBS prefix in their show name.

:bulletred::bulletred::bulletred: If you no longer want the foal for whatever reason (even if by that time it is grown up), we get first buy back option (you must notify me and give me the first option to purchase the horse back). You can only sell the foal for what you paid for it in breeding fees unless *YOU* have drawn art of it other than it's reference. 

Please respect our rules! If you disagree with any of them, then you don't have to choose our horses for breeding. There are many out there for you to pick from!

OUR METHOD FOR AGING ACTIVE HORSES

:bulletblack: For our active horses only: the horses become a year older every 4 months. One month in real life will equal one season for the horses. Every month, the season changes (Spring, Summer, Autumn/Fall, Winter).

Please feel free to use whatever aging method you prefer on the foal you obtain from us. You don't have to follow our aging system!
