General chat. Please do not use this forum for roleplaying

All welcoming posts, picture threads, contact threads, quizzes, etc. should be placed here. New members, please introduce yourselves! We'd love to meet you.

If you would like someone to make you a character picture, postscript, avatar, or signature, would like help with Photoshop or a similar graphic program, or just want to show off your artwork... posts go here.

Use this forum to track the existing relationships and histories between your characters and others on the site and to create new ones. All histories/background information created on this forum needs to be accepted by both parties involved. Please provide your own form for those wishing to apply for a history with any of your horses.

This board is to make general, out of character announcements about your characters on Hoofbeat. Things like announcements that your herd is looking for members, your horse is looking for a mate, plot planning, etc. should be placed here (if you wish to plan them out of character first), and then taken to an in-character forum.

The foster home for all of your forgotten - but still loved - horses. If you have a character you no longer wish to play, but which you don't want to be deleted, feel free to find him/her a new home here. Be sure to include a detailed description of the character's personality and history so that applicants will be better able to continue playing the character in the way you wanted him/her to be played. Keep in mind that once your character is adopted, however, he/she is NO LONGER yours, and (if roleplayed out reasonably) significant changes may be made to his or her personality.

If you're having trouble with something on the site, have a suggestion to improve the site, or would like to request an update relating to site content managed by the staff, post here to present your question or suggestion to a staff member.

If you're going to be away for an extended amount of time, be sure to post of your absence on here so we don't send out a search party. Unless they have been absent for over two months, herd leaders who have posted as away may not be challenged, or will be excused from replying to their challenge until after their return.

Links to other websites go here. Be sure to include a description of your site, an image if desired, the genre and level of roleplay (if it's an rp), and the link. If you are interested in becoming an affiliate with hoofbeat, please state so in your message title.
