Notes

• Stalls and pastures must be kept free of poop, soiled shavings, and urine.

• Foaling stalls must be a minimum of 9x9.

• Horses must be untacked, and off lead when they not in use.

• SWEM horses may not be culled. They must be either sold to another player, or turned into the server rescue.

• Horses who are neglected of Food/Water must not be ridden. Make sure to take care of your horses or you will be disqualified from events, and face the risk of your horse(s) being removed from your care.

• Reminder, you must still follow all appropriate welfare laws regarding the permitted animals. Animals may not be in spaces they cannot comfortably live, and must always have access to fresh food.

• All SWEM horses must have access to AT LEAST access to hay and water. Grain and enrichment items are welcome but not required.

• Stalls must have internal dimensions of 7x7, or 6x8. SWEM horses need hay and water within 15 blocks of them for the AI to be able to find it. If your pastures are larger than 15 blocks ensure you’ve placed hay and water at appropriate intervals so your horses can eat and drink.
