Horse Creation Guide

Creating your first horse is one of the most exciting steps in Celestial Equine! With 18 Origin Worlds, each themed and filled with unique breeds, you have endless possibilities when bringing a new horse into Celestia. Depending on your account type, you can use either the Standard Breed Creator or the more advanced Build-A-Horse Creator. All newly created horses begin with genetic stats randomly assigned between 0–50.

This guide will walk you through both creation systems and explain how public and private player genes function within the game.

PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE PLAYER GENES

Celestial Equine features an expansive gene system that includes both publicly available genetics and privately owned player genetics. Understanding the difference helps you plan, breed, and customize horses more effectively.

Public Genes

Public genes are available to all players through:

CE Original Breeds
Public User-Registered Breeds
Magic Shop rotations
Crossbreeding discoveries that have been made public

These genes can appear naturally in horse creation, breeding, and gene-modifying items. Any player can use, breed, or collect public genes freely.

Private Player Genes

Private genes are fully owned by individual players and are not accessible to the general player base. These genes can only appear through:

The private gene owner's personal creations
Breed lines directly linked to that owner
Player-controlled distribution (if the owner allows it through stud services, breed permissions, or selective sales)

Private genes:

Do not appear in standard creation for other players
Cannot be bred into horses unless one parent already carries the private gene
Do not rotate through shops
Remain locked unless the owner makes them public

Private player genes are a high-end customization option that allow players to create truly exclusive lineages.

HOW TO ORDER YOUR OWN PRIVATE GENES

Players may commission custom private genes to add exclusive colors, patterns, or traits to their personal breeding programs.

To order a private gene:

Visit the Art Depot (located via the Celestia Map).
Submit a commission request for a Private Gene Order.
Work with an official CE artist to define your:
- Gene type (color, pattern, marking, body modification, etc.)
- Appearance and style
- Rarity or intended usage
Once completed, the gene is added directly to your account as private, and only you may create horses carrying it.
If desired, you may later request that your private gene be converted to public, making it available for the entire game.

Private gene commissions are an excellent way to develop a distinctive breed, market premium offspring, or establish a signature style within Celestia.

STANDARD BREED CREATOR

The Standard Breed Creator is available to all players and offers a streamlined creation process perfect for beginners.

When using this creator, you will choose:

Origin World
Breed
Gender
Primary Competition Discipline
Horse Name

Once selections are finalized, the game generates:

Genetics and markings available within that breed
A randomly assigned stat profile (0–50 per genetic stat)

This option is great for players who want a quick, lore-friendly horse creation experience.

BUILD-A-HORSE (PREMIUM)

The Build-A-Horse Creator is an upgraded, highly detailed creation system available to Premium account holders. It includes everything offered in the Standard Creator plus full control over visual and genetic customization.

In Build-A-Horse, you can customize:

Decoration types
Wing color and style
Horn color and shape
Mane and tail style
Mane and tail color variations
Body color and pattern
Hoof color
Body type (Warmblood, Arabian, Draft, Pony, etc.)
Any unlocked public genes or your own private genes
Additional gene-specific details depending on breed

With Build-A-Horse, you are in total control of your horse’s genetics and appearance. This creator is ideal for players who enjoy personalization, color planning, and high-end breeding.
