I mean, I dont think there's a rule against someone using abbreviations someone else used in the past.
I know players like master stablesMS uses abbreviations like MSR for Master Stables Riding horses or MS4 for Master Stables 4th gen or MSH For Mast Stables Heavy. That's truthfully the only one I've ever seen use "MSR"

I agree - I had no idea. I think that what you're wanting to maintain is better done through the breed name that is available to upgraded members, there truly cannot be duplicated in that system.

I’m with the others, I’ve never seen that prefix before.

It also appears Madd04y is still an active player using that prefix, so I’m not sure why you are as well? There’s no rule against it, though. Usually it’s a breeder’s prefix so unless they personally bred the horse, I wouldn’t add that prefix... but that’s just me. Unless of course you know them personally and they’re totally cool with it! Even then, it’s not against the rules, just not something I’d do.

If someone who had *some* of my lines in their horse started using my “ss” prefix, it would bother me.. as trivial as that may be. Especially if the horse wasn’t up to my stable’s standards of even breeding, passing SBA, etc :)

I’m sure not everyone cares, it’s just a personal preference. Sorry if it came across blunt, I’ve had a heck of a week and my brain is off.

Like I said, there’s no rule against it. Many stables don’t even use a prefix and I’m sure there’s duplicates out there due to stable abbreviations being the same :)

No problem Sharaya, we all have our off days! You definitely have a point. I just Really like all of my horses that I've had out of Madd04y's horses, and I think all of those beautiful horses should a have a special name/indicator that they were from her stock.

I use the search feature exclusively for dealing with my horses and add prefixes to help sort my horses for breeding or showing. My barn name was always JOLO after our old farm name and I have been using JL (JOLO Ladies), JS (JOLO Studs) and Z (show horse) for years and years.

A few years ago I found out that another person uses JS for their horses. Other than the odd double check when one of their horses is listed in a post I don’t remember posting, it doesn’t bother me since I normally always put my player ID in the search so I don’t see the others when sorting breedings out. (Or it bothers me a whole lot less than the thought of having to go through and change the prefixes of all my Studs to not be using the same one)

I was prefixing all of my horses “Paradox” But that got old. lol Unfortunetly, my username as an acronym would be rather unfortunate as a prefix :))

The only other prefix I’ve used is “z” and “zz” to indicate that a mare has produced an intact offspring and one that papered over herself. I’ve kind of fallen away from it, but I think using it again will help me sort my 2G mares.

I ran into someone else using it. I’m not sure their reasoning, but I don’t care. Hopefully they don’t either. :p

Are you needing more names, @Paradox?

@bluchystals. Not really. I just got bored with “Paradox” names.

Yep I use KT, and KT2, KT3 etc for the generations. Someone on either this or the other server started using KT as a prefix too so i just make sure I put my ID in the search. Easier than changing my prefix LOL!
