seasons
Like the real world, OB experiences four seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. These different times of the year effect the land greatly.
spring
The vegetation and greenery is quickly growing, foals enter the land beside their protective mothers and herd mates. The air is sweet and inviting. Light rains sprinkle the area, but no storms shake the picturesque scene. OB is painted green.
summer
Mares come into heat, tempting the stallions to take action. The sun slowly bakes the open fields and meadows, turning them green to brown. In the forests and valleys violent lightning storms pound the land, exposing the equines that live there to new danger. Electrical currents can kill almost anything in this delicate new place.
fall
The storms pass and the sun is blocked by a tint of gray clouds. The air is dried by winds that pick up and toss dirt and dust around. Unprotected areas are prone to tornadoes and wind damage. This time is another chance to have foals enter the world.
winter
The land lays thick with ice and snow, threatening the equines of starvation. Very few areas offer any forms of food. Small flakes of crystal fall endlessly from the light gray-blue sky. Mares come into heat for the last time that year.
breeding
Mares come into heat during summer and winter.
Mares may foal during spring and fall.
A mare must be in foal [pregnant] for two whole seasons.
Example - If a mare was bred to in the summer of year 001, her foal will be born in the spring of year 002.
Stallions and mares reach maturity at around 2.5-3.5 years.
If your character has bred, post a thread here:

If you fill out this form completely, a mod will declare the breeding a success. Form:
Sire's Name:
Sire's Coat:
Dam's Name:
Dam's Coat:
Date Bred: [season/year]
A mod will post the due date.
Keep in mind that birthings don't always go perfectly. When your foal is born, a mod will post it's current condition, sex, and coat color.
A mare can not have a foal every birthing period, it's not realistic. Mares may birth up to four foals in a life time.
Immortal mares may only birth four successful foals as well, so plan wisely.
Force breeding does happen, so be warned.
EACH ACCOUNT can control up to FOUR HORSES.
