So ... I've decided to start a sort of odd little breeding project, my first real, codified project. Since we don't really have breeds in the game, I figured I'd "make" one with a breeding line, and I've chosen Kathiawaris:



For those who don't already know - a kathiawari is a breed from India (the Kathiawar peninsula, specifically) noted for their inward curling ears. They are related to arabians and marwaris and are known for their hardiness, athleticism, intelligence, and affection. They were used as cavalry horses for a long time, and are still used in various local sports and cultural traditions (like weddings), and they have a swift, lateral pace, called the revaal. I like them because they are small desert horses and they often have spotting like tobiano and splash. And their ears, their ears are neat :D

Anyway, the rules I've set for myself are thus:
- must be: a riding pony
- must not have: recessive bay (so they can never be black), mushroom, chinchilla, silver, roan, appaloosa, unnatural colors, or ice
- must only have: the white spotting of: tobiano, any splash, any sabino, and w20

And my goals are:
- breeding for lightest bone possible (IRL they are known for having light bone structure)
- breeding for highest PT possible.

I've made a "Kathiawari Registry" brand for them too, that fits inside my stable brand :D (it's on the lower right corner):

I was thinking ... if anyone else had an interest, that I could open a chat for them. And I'd be happy "brand" any horses that fit the criteria with the Kathiawari Registry flower, if anyone was interested in that :)
