:bulletyellow: Some changes have been made to the point system. Please look over the system and adjust your horses points accordingly!

A lot of you will be glad to know Harlequines now have permission to be accepted!

Before, in the Stallion Society, we have not accepted fantasy horses that have their own group registry because they should be registered there. It still stands that first a horse should be registered in their breed registry group, but we are starting to compile a list of breeds that can be submitted to the Stallion Society. These breeds have the permission of their creators to be submitted to the group. Your horse does not necessarily need to be submitted into the 'Fantasy' folder, either. It depends if you want him to be recognised for his breed or his discipline.

Below is a list of accepted breeds. If you own a breed and you would like to grant permission for it to be submitted, please send a note to the group entitled 'Fantasy Breed Registration' and include the breedsheet and name of your breed. If you have a horse that's part of a breed you don't own, and you'd like the breed to be registered with TSS, you can always note the owner and ask them to consider registering.

I've decided that stallions that are gelded will be removed from the group.

The whole point of the group is to show case quality breeding stallions.

If you have a stallion in the group that has recently been gelded please let us know so we can remove him from the group.


Thanks, Karma
There has been some confusion on how we are accepting stallions into the directory. So I'm going to go through the process on how we want it done right now.

:bulletred: Submit your stallion's reference into the folder that is named after his discipline.

Like my stallion HS Cash And Cashmere dontkillthekarma.deviantart.co… is a Western Pleasure horse. So I go to the gallery section of the group and find the Western Pleasure folder. Folders are listed to the left of the screen in the gallery section, or the discipline folders are also listed below.

:bulletpurple: The criteria right now is the stallion must be of age, we wont accept anything under the age of 3, unless special permission is granted. Also, the stallion must be available for stud.

:new: We are accepting colts. They must be at least 1 year old.  Yearlings - 2 year olds MUST be placed in the COLTS FOLDER.

:bulletgreen: We also have 3 folders that are NOT discipline based. We did that to ensure all stallions had a chance to be registered, and so we didn't have 1,000,000,000 folders. These folders are Spanish, Sport Horses, and Gaited stallions. Bull fighters, Tennessee Walking Horses, Paso Finos, ect. should be placed in these folders.

**For example you own an Andalusian stallion that competes in Dressage. You can choose to register him in Spanish, or the Dressage folders. Or both if you like.

:bulletorange: We also have a Pleasure stallion folder. This is for stallions that are not showing anymore due to retirement, or injury. If they have past show experience and are up for stud, they are welcome to become part of the Stallion Society.

**We are in the process of making a list of stallions in their disciplines. If you want your stallion added to the list, along with his picture in the gallery, please send us a note.
