Behaviour & Manners
Respect
This is easy, have respect for ALL players especially newer players than yourself who will still be learning the ropes. Treat everyone as you would wish to be treated yourself and you can't go too far wrong.

Language
Never swear or use any rude, abusive language either on your page, talk or in any other way that it is viewable by horseland players. It is also advised that you don't link to any outside site than contains content not suitable for children of all ages. If you are found to be breaking these rules in anyway the content will be if necessary removed and you will most likely be banned from the game so be warned.

GeneralBehaviour
Manners what more can I say but a lot of people lack them on HL! I go into a lot more detail below but heres the basics.

Before you start sending messages asking questions READ THE PLAYER'S PAGE the amount of times I get sent messages saying "I love your page can you make me one" when it very clearly says on my page that I am not making pages its untrue! 95% of the time all the answers to your questions can be found within the text of a page. If its not there then feel free to ask politely!

If you make a request/bid and the other player says no that means no DO NOT BEG and the majority of the time the reasons for why they say no are very valid. It may be beneficial to you to say "thats fine could i just ask why you said no so i know for next time. Thanks" most players will be more that happy to tell you as long as you ask nicely.

Dont ask something of someone that you wouldn't honestly say yes to yourself!

Say please/thankyou etc etc.

Remember messages are of limited length so if another player is brief in their reply consider that this might be why.

Remember the more experienced players will be receiving tens of messages a day so may reply with a very brief answer if at all. This is not them being rude this is just they are short of time!

Do not when sending messages use only capital letters eg CAN I BUY YOUR HORSE FOR $100 THATS ALL I CAN AFFORD PLSSSSSS this means you are SHOUTING and is not polite and personally I normally ignore all messages like this!

Try not to use 'Text' talk eg. "Can I ave ur orse 4 $100 cos thats all i got? tk u" the occasional abbreviation is fine IF being used to get under the message length limit but going to the extreme as above, its far better to write in proper english and spread it over two messages.

When sending a message saying for example that you have bid on a horse or that you would like to breed to a horse or similar be sure to put the HORSES NAME in the message as its very rare that a player will have only one horse for sale or only one for stud!

Charity
Don't go asking people for things for nothing or for very little. If their page says 'Personal pics cost fixed price $40k' don't ask them if you can have one for only $100 as you are poor it wont wash! They were poor once as well but they made the money and so can you. PEOPLE DONT LIKE BEGGARS and if you ask and they have said no once don't keep going back as you will only annoy them which is not what you want!
