Information

Versali Stables specializes in all breeds and all colorations of ponies. Below is some information about these creatures.

Appearance
Ponies come in all different sizes and colorations. Most have the characteristic stocky body and large heads although it is not uncommon to find ponies with thinner builds and finer heads. Coloration and markings are more diverse and can lead to surprises when two ponies are bred. Common colors found in ponies are black, white, dark brown, medium brown, light brown, pale gold, medium gold, dark gold, red-brown, blue, light grey, medium grey, and dark grey. Sometimes interesting blends of colors can occur but there will never be a hot pink pony or some abnormal color. These colors can be seen in markings such as stars, socks, blazes, snips, spots, light stripes, solid coat, or lip marks. Most ponies have nondescript markings but if the right pair are bred, you may create a pony that has markings similar to a Fjord or even a Clydesdale draft horse. Manes and tails may be braided, wrapped, or left loose, depending on the breeder.

Living Conditions
Depending on the intended uses of the pony, living conditions may vary. Those who are interested in showing, racing, or breeding their ponies must keep their stock in a stable of some sort. Most stables will have separate stalls for each pony, enough food and water to sustain the stock, and a corral outside used for exercise and training. A well-run stable will also have at least one stablehand who can keep track of feedings, foalings, and trades of ponies.

If the ponies are being kept for other reasons such as companionship or light farm work, a simple pasture with a shelter, food rack, and water trough will suffice. Records do not need to be kept but if you ever consider breeding your ponies, a stable must be formed.

Naming
All ponies are named by its birthstable. All ponies coming out of Versali will have the prefix Versali's "something" "something". The "something""something" can be anything the stable owner wishes...as long as there is not one named that already. An example of naming would be Versali's Serenity Flight...Versali being the birthstable and Serenity Flight the name I came up with. Often times, owners do not want to always call their pony by such a long name so call names are often formed. These have no restrictions at all. The longer names are useful in distiguishing one pony from another if there are two ponies with the call name Black.

Mutations
Like real ponies, there are rare occasions where a pony will be born with a mutation. These mutations are NOT a trait you want to attempt to pass to offspring so breeding two mutated ponies often leads in death. Mutations are determined in the following manner:

I will take a pair of dice and roll them once. If doubles are rolled, the pony WILL have a mutation. To determine the type of mutation, a die will be rolled. Depending on the number rolled, a mutation will be determined. The following are mutation assignments for each number on a die:
1-Deafness
2-Blindess
3-Albino
4-Missing limb(s)
5-Sterile
6-Death of the foal

Mutations are completely random and if one horse with a mutation is bred with another horse without a mutation, the odds of the offspring receiving a mutation do not increase. Mutated horses can create wonderful breeding stock but may not participate in races or shows if the limbs are affected. Vision impared horses may not race but may participate in shows. Albino horses may participate in both shows and races.
