HorseOverhaul

This is a plugin which drastically changes the mechanics of horses in minecraft. It has four major aspects.

#1: Horse Genders

Horses are born as either stallions or mares. This changes how they act. Mares and stallions left together will make children of their colors and breeds. You can also turn stallions into geldings using the /gelding tool. You can check the gender of a horse using the /checker tool.

#2: Horse Training

Horses aren't immediately well behaved after the thirty seconds of taming. As you continue riding them, they become better behaved and will speed up as a result. New horses will buck often, whereas old horses will do this less often. Stallions will buck more often than mares or geldings.

#3: Advanced Riding

You can use the fishing rod in-game as as riding crop to speed up your horse and beat other riders in races.

#4: Hydration

Horses won't gallop as fast if they're not hydrated and advanced riding techniques will have less effect as their hydration level lowers. You can get your horses hydrated again by putting them near a water source so they can drink.

Technical notes

To disable auto update checking, please edit the Config.json file found in the HorseOverhaul directory. You need to change the update-check boolean to false.
