Briar Valley Sim Game was originally created by Impy, way back in 2011.
Codes & plugins used to build this forum are credited to their original owners at PB Support, Adoxography, Slightly Insane, and other PB resource sites.
Theme/skin was created by the staff of BVSG and is not to be recreated/used elsewhere (the DAY AND KNIGHT skin was created originally by Impy for her other site, but modified for BVSG).
Thank you!
1) Each member is entitled to twenty horses, while each staff member is entitled to twenty-five horses. This is so that there are not too many horses; and nobody competes with them, or pays them mind. THIS RULE HAS BEEN REVISED!: Members are entitled to ten horses, staff members are entitled to twelve horses.
2) One game year is a real-time month. In the game year, mares may breed twice and stallions may breed four times. Again, these breeding limits are in place to ensure that the horse population is controlled. THIS RULE HAS BEEN REVISED!: Stallions can breed an unlimited amout of times during breeding season. Mares may breed twice. 3) Every horse may be registered to an association. However, only purebred horses/ponies may be registered to a breed association, while cross-breeds can be registered with the stock association. 4) In order to register on BVSG, you must be available 2-5 times per week; or your application will be denied. This may seem harsh, but this is to keep inactive members from joining. 5) If you are inactive for a week or more, without notice, your account will go under inactivity watch. If after another week you have not provided any notice about your activity, or have not been active, your account will be deleted. You will not be able to rejoin the game (without special permissions/exceptions by a staff member). 6) HAVE FUN! If you don't, we won't, and then no-one's having fun & the game is boring. So just have some fun!....XD

1) All images used must be copyright free or have a written consent from the owner! If you use the second option, you'll have to send a copy of the e-mail/picture of the contract to a staff member, for safe-keeping and 'proof of terms'.
These are only a few. If you search "horse stock" on DeviantArt, you can find tons - just follow their rules (& these rules). If you have any others to share, feel free to post them in the 'General Chat'. We will also try to keep you on an updated list of who we have written consent for images from in the 'General Chat' board .

1) A horse cannot be pregnant and compete. The mare must be take at least one month (approx. 3-4 days gametime) after having the baby to compete. 2) Horses must be properly papered with their association in order to be able to compete. Any non-registered horses will be denied. 3) Only Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds are eligible for racing. 4) Horses must be trained to one level in their discipline, and can only compete in one discipline (basically meaning no English x Western cross horses). 5) Horses must be at least 3 game years old to compete in English, 4 game years to compete in Western, and 2 game years old to compete in racing.
