Talk:Horses

I think the horse page is finally done! I've been working on it in sections over the last couple of weeks. I tried to make sure all the data was there, but not TOO verbose and still interesting to read. It's a very large and detailed topic. But please feel free to go through and hack it a bit. I probably missed a few links. Some information I simply couldn't get my hands on, like the verbiage when you're selling a horse at a broker (I remember when I tried to buy my horse, it took us 10 minutes or so to figure out the verbiage), so if anyone knows that, please add it to the buying horse section!

Appraising Horse

Wonder when this changed or is it one of those bugs that will never get fixed? Appraising horse doesn't show if its hungry or in need of grooming anymore. Instead it treats the horse as a monster. It works appraisal fairly well since you can appraise quick, normal and careful. But that's no longer the way to tell if the horse is hungry or dirty. Should this be updated on this page?

Behold: look at horse > The silver grey horse is sixteen hands high with a medium dark grey coat and white highlights. It has a light grey mane and tail. The gelding has a narrow white stripe running from below the left eye to just above the nostrils. The horse is wearing a chestnut brown raised snaffle bridle with polished edges and long laced reins. You recognize your brand on the horse's flank.

app horse > You are certain that the silver grey horse is healthy. You think it is likely that it is not quite as agile as you are. You estimate that it is about as quick to react as you are. You think it is likely that it is a great deal stronger than you are. Fighting with no weapon, you think it is likely that the silver grey horse is a difficult opponent.

So on a related note, does anyone know how to tell if the horse is in need of care now?

yep, STUDY horse. I'll put it in the article. BTW I think it's always been that way, at least it has for quite a few years. --Farman 12:06, 20 December 2007 (CST)
