For HF Members
Welcome to HF Mandatory Registry! All horses residing in HF with game members are required to have their registration posted in order to be considered a resident. Please read more about that processes here: horsesforever.proboards.com/board/132/mandatory-registry
Our current MR was designed in 2012 and acts similar to a database MR. It is fully searchable, horse ownership and details are contained in their own posts, and pedigrees can also be included. It is member driven, so members are responsible for maintaining their horse's posts - so no waiting for approvals, and everything is at the member's convenience.
It also works in conjunction with The Committee (our version of a Humane Society) and the convenience of having everything in one place makes it easily utilized. Plus it is all backed up by Proboards servers. As another note, we have disabled search engine indexing, so information posted in 2019 and beyond should not show up on internet searches.
Here is a tutorial to help you utilize our search function: horsesforever.proboards.com/thread/57249/use-sim-pedigree-database-search
To be active here, horses must be registered and "reside" in HF, though we do allow horses to show in All-Sim events. Just be sure to keep your show records clearly separate, as All-Sim records can be used as bragging rights in HF, but do not count towards actual HF points. Dual registration in other closed games is not allowed.
Note to Non-HF Members/Guests
In 2019, HF members discussed and collectively decided to open our our Mandatory Registry for guest viewing only (IE you cannot post). The reason for this is that we believe in transparency, and with our longevity there are a lot of horses in other places that are related to horses here. Outside simmers may benefit from the research and vast information our MR contains from 2003 and onward (when we registered this forum; HF was established in 1997), and efforts at history preservation. Additionally, our goal is to avoid duplicate horses, ownership disputes, accidents etc. by communicating openly with others. For example, a member imports a horse here, they disappear, and the officers aren't aware that the horse was bred by another that may have been reclaimed when managing the member's abandoned horses. We can communicate and remedy that.

If you see an issue that needs to be addressed, please PM one of our officers detailing what it is. We would love to help you research and get to the bottom of the issue. Please PM an officer with the following information filled out:

Please realize that we are trusting simmers with the honor system in our closed game and ask that you respect our members. There should be NO duplicating of horses that you find in our MR. There should be no harassment of our members. Everything can be handled cordially with maturity.
Would you like to add your own horses for historical information purposes?
Great! We do have a separate database for that, the Sim Horse Pedigree Database. We definitely welcome non-HF horses to be posted there, and they WILL NOT be considered residents of HF or subject to anything other than information sharing. Read more about that here:
