Simply drawing your stable staff meeting up other attendants or RPS staff is also possible. (please ask!)
(keep in mind the world setting is fairly realistic and your OCs need to look human)
BREEDERS BRUNCH
A lovely brunch with other active Obertaurer owners and breeders. A long banquet table will be prepared
Day One:
BREEDERS BRUNCH
A lovely brunch with other active Obertaurer owners and breeders. A long banquet table will be prepared
on the terrace of the main building with great view on the mare's halter towards the end.
This might give some shy individuals a good occasion to talk about their horses and plot the
perfect offspring for the later breeding project "Love Me A Lineage"

LOVE ME A LINEAGE
Who doesn't love themselves a neat lineage full of legendary HARPG horses.

MARES HALTER CLASS
We are already in great company with all the fancy owners, now also some Oberladies join in,
being led between the flower carpets of the terrace. Conformation, Color and Height play a great role
in judging. Since it is hard to showcase the sure-footedness in halter, we gonna leave that up to our next winter show instead.

LOVE ME A LINEAGE
Who doesn't love themselves a neat lineage full of legendary HARPG horses.
We sure do. At Obertaurer a complete pedigree always played an important role.
This breeding project is for all those who like to collect awesome ancestors in their foal and
those who would like to offer their min. 3rd Generation Obertaurer for breeding.

CONVERSATION UPDATE
Or now by it's official name, Frosted. Further research was done in order to grasp more
about the gene, that causes those fancy "conversation dapples" in our breed. Historical research
also revealed that the coloration was earlier referred to as "Frosted", which also sounds more suitable
to the rest of the Obertaurer-colors such as melt snow and snowflake, don't you think?

(Of course Conversation, will never be counted as incorrect either!!)

OBERNAME AWARDS
Now that we have our shiny new registry, we realized there are a bunch of names that deserve a special award.

Day Two:
FOUNDATION CROSS KEURING
Well well the early birds of this conference can witness the keuring of some fine Obertaurer Foundations.
The rare occasion when suitable crosses can be registered as a Foundation to support the variety
of the genpool and improve Obertaurer build. Therefor these horses need to suit a strict standard
about their build, color and character. Check out the requirements here ----> Obertaurer Standards (Build-Color-Crossbreeding)

WFFS in OBERTAURERS
A short and compact lecture and statement about why WFFS is NOT PRESENT in purebred Obertaurers or Admiralskaya.
So far, and for line-breeding-reasons, this disease seems to appear only in thoroughbred-heavy Warmbloods or warmbloods
with a lot of line-breeding history. Obertaurers for the most part descend from Baroque breeds, light drafts, Iberian horses and
all sorts of brave mutts from the cavalry. They have little-to-no Thoroughbred blood and bred through natural selection in Obertauern
since many generations. We recommend however, to check the horses for WFFS that you plan on making a Warmblood OTX or Obertaurer Sporthorse with,
as it would be a shame to carry it into the Obertaurer genpool through that backdoor. Testing is never a bad thing,
however none of RPS' Obertaurers carry it nor do the Imports. (Please do not give your Obertaurer WFFS as it would be unrealistic or question the pureness of the horse)
OBERTAURER SPORTHORSES AND WARMBLOOD OTX
Lets promote the fancy, supported Obertaurer crosses, because they are sometimes more popularly seen at modern disciplines
with their kinda more sleek and athletic builds. The Founders also recently have been making arrangements with Zlesdin
to come to a fun possibility to register Zlesdin-Obertaurer crosses as Obertaurer Sporthorses if they don't display the typical "skeggas" gait,
while they can be registered as Zlesdin part bred if they do display it. Win-Win, we would say.
To celebrate this new possibility, say hello to the shiny new Premium sheet for Obertaurer Sporthorses and Warmblood OTX:
(Not to be used for the other breed types, for scoring and info, go here: Premium Obertaurer )
STALLIONS HALTER CLASS
Getting towards a sunny afternoon, we can see the mighty, impressive, proud stallions of the breed.
Held at the same terrace as the Mares, it is now the stage for the Stallions. Handlers are asked to keep
a good hold of their horses as we all know how temperamental these gents can be, especially if they smell some rivalry.

Day Three:
BEST OF THE WHITE DECEMBER
A presentation and brief introduction of the brave Obertaurers who entered the White December of this year.
Probably more horses to find there than one would expect. Both Wild caught ones and stable bred ones
proved their true nature out in the cold landscape of Norway. Applause to our gorgeous representatives <3

Most of these horses got their origin in a different, remote herd. Lets bring them to our part of the world x)
