== How to check if Badge requirements are met ==
This part is pretty easy.
* For the '''advanced [[sNr Badges|Badges]]''' there are really strict and specific requirements to match, you just have to witness the pony or trainer match these requirements and then can award the badge. Do note that the Badge System also has a not function, so if its a more complicated Badge you can witness part of it and then note down that the person did this part for other trainers to rely upon.
* For '''white Badges''' its purely knowledge based. Just have a talk with the person about the Badge topic and see what they know. If there are things lacking in the knowledge, simply teach them these things in polite chat by pointing out these additional aspects before giving them the Badge. Generally people should not really fail to get white badges, as if they lack knowledge it is up to you as trainer to provide that for them.
* '''Black badges''' can be awarded through eithr knowledge of the topic or practical demonstration. These have no specific requirements as they are basic badges. In order to get a slalom badge a pony should be able to fluidly run a slalom, but it does not have to beat the scoreboard obviously. Similarly, a trainer should be able to explain a beginner pony a few tricks of how to improve, but does not need to be able to mprove a champion for the black Badge. The idea behind the black Badges is to have basic proficiency so one can improve in this aspect if desired.

== How to award Badges in the Badge System ==
This part is probably even easier as the system is made for easy handling. Lets have a look through the steps, yes? With Pictures!

'''Do note that you can use the arrows over the pictures in each subcategory to scroll throughthe different example pictures.'''

Similarly, a trainer should be able to explain a beginner pony a few tricks of how to improve, but does not need to be able to mprove a champion for the black Badge. The idea behind the black Badges is to have basic proficiency so one can improve in this aspect if desired.

== How to award Badges in the Badge System ==
This part is probably even easier as the system is made for easy handling. Lets have a look through the steps, yes? With Pictures!

=== Logging in ===

In order to log into the system with rights to hand out badges, you need to make sure to wear an active '''sNr Trainer''' grouptag and '''click on one of the Prims''' around the sim (the one in the picture is riht next to the chimney at the main stable). This will send you a '''private link''' message in open text. Just click the Link and you should be getting the page with trainer rights in your browser. Note that you will have two additional fields when logging in as sNr Trainer (see image, red highlights).

In order to award a Badge you have to be logged into the system as '''sNr Trainer''' (see above). This will allow you to use the Star button (see image) on any Profile within the system. Clicking it will open a new window with a selection of Badges, based on the Badge categories. Simply select the Badge you wish to award (one Badge at a time). The system will then change to focus on this Badge in particular and ask you to confirm... press confirm if you wish to award the badge. Do note that only Badges which have not yet been acquired by someone are available to be selected.

* Go to '''Resident search''' in the '''Badge database''' and paste the respective information
* Click the little spyglas button below the field you filled

* For the '''advanced [[sNr Badges|Badges]]''' there are really strict and specific requirements to match, you just have to witness the pony or trainer match these requirements and then can award the badge. Do note that the Badge System also has a not function, so if its a more complicated Badge you can witness part of it and then note down that the person did this part for other trainers to rely upon.
* For '''white Badges''' its purely knowledge based. Just have a talk with the person about the Badge topic and see what they know. If there are things lacking in the knowledge, simply teach them these things in polite chat by pointing out these additional aspects before giving them the Badge. Generally people should not really fail to get white badges, as if they lack knowledge it is up to you as trainer to provide that for them.

* Open their SL Profile and copy either their Agent Name or UUID
* Go to '''Resident search''' in the '''Badge database''' and paste the respective information
* Click the little spyglas button below the field you filled

Cali: /* How to award Badges in the Badge System */

== How to check if Badge requirements are met ==
This part is pretty easy.
* For the '''advanced [[sNr Badges|Badges]]''' there are really strict and specific requirements to match, you just have to witness the pony or trainer match these requirements and then can award the badge. Do note that the Badge System also has a not function, so if its a more complicated Badge you can witness part of it and then note down that the person did this part for other trainers to rely upon.
* For '''white Badges''' its purely knowledge based. Just have a talk with the person about the Badge topic and see what they know. If there are things lacking in the knowledge, simply teach them these things in polite chat by pointing out these additional aspects before giving them the Badge. Generally people should not really fail to get white badges, as if they lack knowledge it is up to you as trainer to provide that for them.
* '''Black badges''' can be awarded through eithr knowledge of the topic or practical demonstration. These have no specific requirements as they are basic badges. In order to get a slalom badge a pony should be able to fluidly run a slalom, but it does not have to beat the scoreboard obviously. Similarly, a trainer should be able to explain a beginner pony a few tricks of how to improve, but does not need to be able to mprove a champion for the black Badge. The idea behind the black Badges is to have basic proficiency so one can improve in this aspect if desired.

== How to award Badges in the Badge System ==
This part is probably even easier as the system is made for easy handling. Lets have a look through the steps, yes? With Pictures!

=== Logging in ===
In order to log into the system with rights to hand out badges, you need to make sure to wear an active '''sNr Trainer''' grouptag and '''click on one of the Prims''' around the sim (the one in the picture is riht next to the chimney at the main stable). This will send you a '''private link''' message in open text. Just click the Link and you should be getting the page with trainer rights in your browser. Note that you will have two additional fields when logging in as sNr Trainer (see image, red highlights).

SNr Staff Handbook

2025-10-28T08:27:58Z

Cali:

The '''sNr Staff Handbook''' is intended as a detailed guide for all sNr staff and contains everything from applying for a role, processing a new animal and how to use the various equipment. In addition, it covers how to conduct a number of pony events from a trainer perspective. It contains pictures and screenshots to help clarify the steps and is designed to be a one-stop shop. This guide will also evolve and develop over time to stay current.

This guide is not really designed to be read from cover to cover as there is a lot of detail covered and staff knowledge gaps will be different. It has a contents page so you can pick out a particular subject you want more information about.

== Sim rules and stable structure ==
Here we have just a quick link to the general guide if you are unsure about details within the sim rules and the meanings of the different roles within sNr. It also includes some helpful info for advising potential ponies if they are more suited to join the stable as sNr Pony or as sNr Livestock.

[[sNr Guides|sNr Guides]]

== Getting started and staff equipment guide ==
Here you find basic information about how to get specific roles within the stables, as well as hot to operate the sNr Staff Terminal. The staff terminal is useful for managing the access level of staff members and to get staff equipment, such as the all important staff hud. Furthermore, a brief overview over the different staff equipment and how to access the bridles of stabled ponies is provided.

[[Getting Started|Getting Started and Staff Equipment Guide]]

== Awarding Badges ==
Here you will find detailed steps on how to award a badge in the bade system database and some brief info as to how to check if a pony or handler has the requirements for the respective badge.

[[Awarding Badges]]

== Animals pre-processing guidance ==
In this section you will find all the useful information about what measures should be taken '''before a pony is processed'' to become a sNr Pony or sNr Livestock. Be aware this part is written as questions towards the pony as it is also part of the Pony Guide.

[[Animal Pre-Processing Guidance]]

== Processing animals ==
Here you will find all the information you need in order to properly process animals as members of the sNr stables. Please make sure to check up on the details if you are unsure as botching this process will greatly affect the enjoyment of the processed animal over the duration of its stay.

[[Processing Animals]]

== Stabled animals ==
sNr Ponies and sNr Livestock are both stabled within the main stalls and should be put back into their assigned stall after training. In order to find said stall please refer to the nameplates on the stall. Both ponies and livestock stabled at the main stalls are expected to be '''available for training by sNr Staff''', this means at least their reins should be available and they should either be lightly enough restricted to be able to train or their equipment should be set up so staff can temporarily remove the restrictions. If one is unwilling to have their personal animal unavailable for other staff members for a given time the pony should be '''transferred into the guest stalls''' for the duration.

Guest ponies are to be stabled in the guest stables in general.

== Training Guides ==
There is a small selection of guides for training the stabled animals in different disciplines. Feel free to have a look and refresh your knowledge at any time.

[[Training Guides]]

== Specialised sNr equipment ==
A list of all the specialized equipment available for both staff and stabled animals within sNr. Each piece of equipment if further linking to a detailed guide about how to operate it.

SNr Badges

Cali: /* Animal Badges */

= sNr Badges =
The sNr Badge system is designed to allow everyone to easily show which kind of training they have or can offer and at what level of specific activity they are when it comes to ponyplay, both for grooms/trainers and animals. In addition staff members and sNr animals have to have some basic badges to show they are able to properly operate sim equipment and understand what said equipment entails. This is to ensure quality service and avoid panic when changes in RLV restrictions cause drastic effects.

In order to look at which badges you or ponies/handlers of your choice have, look here: '''https://badge.sl.vortex.wtf/home'''

There are 5 levels of badges available, but not all badges come in those 5 levels. For more info to each badge please see the following lists.

In case you are wondering '''which Badges you need for a specific role''' please have a look at the '''[[sNr Guides#sNr Stable Structure|sNr Stable Structure]]''', where each role has the required Badges listed.

==== How to get Badges? ====
All Badges are given out by '''certified sNr Trainers''', who have at least the basic version of the badge themselves. If you are in doubt how to find those feel free to poke in groupchat at any time or visit the monday classes as teachers tend to be certified in their topics.

*'''Basic Badges (level 0 and 1)''' can in general be gotten through participation in the respective '''sNr Monday Classes''' or via a private '''demonstration of the respective knowledge''' to a '''certified sNr Trainer'''.

*'''Advanced Badges (level 2-4)''' can be earned through performing badge-specific practical feats to show skill and dedication to the activity only. These badges are not required for any Roles, but give quite the bragging rights when one shows them off. In order to get an advanced Badge you need to find yourself a '''certified sNr Trainer''' and perform the required actifities under said Trainers supervision. This does not have to be done all at once, so more complicated Badges can be earned over multiple days. Some badges require additional people, but in general sNr Staff and Animals are happy to help out.

*'''sNr Monday Classes''' are each Monday at noon SLT, or are available at other times upon request towards Katinka or Cali. Knowledge demonstrations can be performed by certified trainers who have the required badge themselves, if in doubt poke '''Katinka (katinka.teardrop) or Cali (cali.nyn)'''.

== White Badges (level 0) ==
These are badges that represent the very basic knowledge to become an active member of sNr. They can be earned by visiting a '''sNr Monday Classes''' or just '''demonstrating the required knowledge'''.

==== Required for all staff and animals ====
*'''sNr rules, sim rules, wiki'''
*:Rough knowledge of the Stable/Sim rules and that there is a wiki which you can use to look those up in detail in case you are unsure about something. The ability to show guests on the sim one of the links so they can inform themselves in the wiki.
*'''Ponyplay etiquette''', (SL etiquette)
*:General knowledge of how to behave as a pony / handle a pony at sNr Stables, as well as being a functioning member of SL society.
*'''Mare Control, Mare Hearing'''
*:General knowledge of what MC/MH are and how to operate them to ensure you do not screw ponies over as staff and dont get a panic attack about suddenly getting harsh restrictions as pony.
*'''Whip signals'''
*:Knowing how to give/follow the commonly used whip signals for carting and directing a pony.

==== Required for staff only ====
*'''sNr Staff HUD and Staff Vendor'''
*:Being able to operare the Staff Hud and Staff Vendor... at least on a basic level ;)
*'''Pony intake / release'''
*:Knowing the procedures for taking ponies into the stable and how to release them properly upon request.

==== Required for Livestock only ====

Including the longterm bondage requirements, heavy rlv restrictions, complete dependency on others and the possibility of being used in the lapyard as the grooms and trainers please. This includes doing 50 practical rounds in the lapyard.

==== Optional for staff and animals ====
*'''Event Etiquette'''
*:Proper Etiquette for ponyplay events, such as polo championship, caravan events, etc.

== Black Badges (level 1) ==
These are the core proficiency badges. Each badge is available as '''handler''' or '''animal''' version for your convenience, but it is also possible to get both versions at once if you prefer to switch your role. They can be earned by visiting a '''sNr Monday Classes''' or '''demonstrating the required knowledge'''. Some of them may also require a practical display.

SNr Badges

Cali: /* Advanced Badges (Bronze / Silver / Gold) (level 2-4) */

= sNr Badges =
The sNr Badge system is designed to allow everyone to easily show which kind of training they have or can offer and at what level of specific activity they are when it comes to ponyplay, both for grooms/trainers and animals. In addition staff members and sNr animals have to have some basic badges to show they are able to properly operate sim equipment and understand what said equipment entails. This is to ensure quality service and avoid panic when changes in RLV restrictions cause drastic effects.

In order to look at which badges you or ponies/handlers of your choice have, look here: '''https://badge.sl.vortex.wtf/home'''

There are 5 levels of badges available, but not all badges come in those 5 levels. For more info to each badge please see the following lists.

In case you are wondering '''which Badges you need for a specific role''' please have a look at the '''[[sNr Guides#sNr Stable Structure|sNr Stable Structure]]''', where each role has the required Badges listed.

==== How to get Badges? ====
All Badges are given out by '''certified sNr Trainers''', who have at least the basic version of the badge themselves. If you are in doubt how to find those feel free to poke in groupchat at any time or visit the monday classes as teachers tend to be certified in their topics.

*'''Basic Badges (level 0 and 1)''' can in general be gotten through participation in the respective '''sNr Monday Classes''' or via a private '''demonstration of the respective knowledge''' to a '''certified sNr Trainer'''.

*'''Advanced Badges (level 2-4)''' can be earned through performing badge-specific practical feats to show skill and dedication to the activity only. These badges are not required for any Roles, but give quite the bragging rights when one shows them off. In order to get an advanced Badge you need to find yourself a '''certified sNr Trainer''' and perform the required actifities under said Trainers supervision. This does not have to be done all at once, so more complicated Badges can be earned over multiple days. Some badges require additional people, but in general sNr Staff and Animals are happy to help out.

*'''sNr Monday Classes''' are each Monday at noon SLT, or are available at other times upon request towards Katinka or Cali. Knowledge demonstrations can be performed by certified trainers who have the required badge themselves, if in doubt poke '''Katinka (katinka.teardrop) or Cali (cali.nyn)'''.

Cali: /* Animal Badges */

= sNr Badges =
The sNr Badge system is designed to allow everyone to easily show which kind of training they have or can offer and at what level of specific activity they are when it comes to ponyplay, both for grooms/trainers and animals. In addition staff members and sNr animals have to have some basic badges to show they are able to properly operate sim equipment and understand what said equipment entails. This is to ensure quality service and avoid panic when changes in RLV restrictions cause drastic effects.

In order to look at which badges you or ponies/handlers of your choice have, look here: '''https://badge.sl.vortex.wtf/home'''

There are 5 levels of badges available, but not all badges come in those 5 levels. For more info to each badge please see the following lists.

In case you are wondering '''which Badges you need for a specific role''' please have a look at the '''[[sNr Guides#sNr Stable Structure|sNr Stable Structure]]''', where each role has the required Badges listed.

==== How to get Badges? ====
All Badges are given out by '''certified sNr Trainers''', who have at least the basic version of the badge themselves. If you are in doubt how to find those feel free to poke in groupchat at any time or visit the monday classes as teachers tend to be certified in their topics.

*'''Basic Badges (level 0 and 1)''' can in general be gotten through participation in the respective '''sNr Monday Classes''' or via a private '''demonstration of the respective knowledge''' to a '''certified sNr Trainer'''.

*'''Advanced Badges (level 2-4)''' can be earned through performing badge-specific practical feats to show skill and dedication to the activity only. These badges are not required for any Roles, but give quite the bragging rights when one shows them off. In order to get an advanced Badge you need to find yourself a '''certified sNr Trainer''' and perform the required actifities under said Trainers supervision. This does not have to be done all at once, so more complicated Badges can be earned over multiple days. Some badges require additional people, but in general sNr Staff and Animals are happy to help out.

*'''sNr Monday Classes''' are each Monday at noon SLT, or are available at other times upon request towards Katinka or Cali. Knowledge demonstrations can be performed by certified trainers who have the required badge themselves, if in doubt poke '''Katinka (katinka.teardrop) or Cali (cali.nyn)'''.

Cali: /* Animal Badges */

= sNr Badges =
The sNr Badge system is designed to allow everyone to easily show which kind of training they have or can offer and at what level of specific activity they are when it comes to ponyplay, both for grooms/trainers and animals. In addition staff members and sNr animals have to have some basic badges to show they are able to properly operate sim equipment and understand what said equipment entails. This is to ensure quality service and avoid panic when changes in RLV restrictions cause drastic effects.

In order to look at which badges you or ponies/handlers of your choice have, look here: '''https://badge.sl.vortex.wtf/home'''

There are 5 levels of badges available, but not all badges come in those 5 levels. For more info to each badge please see the following lists.

In case you are wondering '''which Badges you need for a specific role''' please have a look at the '''[[sNr Guides#sNr Stable Structure|sNr Stable Structure]]''', where each role has the required Badges listed.

==== How to get Badges? ====
All Badges are given out by '''certified sNr Trainers''', who have at least the basic version of the badge themselves. If you are in doubt how to find those feel free to poke in groupchat at any time or visit the monday classes as teachers tend to be certified in their topics.

*'''Basic Badges (level 0 and 1)''' can in general be gotten through participation in the respective '''sNr Monday Classes''' or via a private '''demonstration of the respective knowledge''' to a '''certified sNr Trainer'''.

*'''Advanced Badges (level 2-4)''' can be earned through performing badge-specific practical feats to show skill and dedication to the activity only. These badges are not required for any Roles, but give quite the bragging rights when one shows them off. In order to get an advanced Badge you need to find yourself a '''certified sNr Trainer''' and perform the required actifities under said Trainers supervision. This does not have to be done all at once, so more complicated Badges can be earned over multiple days. Some badges require additional people, but in general sNr Staff and Animals are happy to help out.

*'''sNr Monday Classes''' are each Monday at noon SLT, or are available at other times upon request towards Katinka or Cali. Knowledge demonstrations can be performed by certified trainers who have the required badge themselves, if in doubt poke '''Katinka (katinka.teardrop) or Cali (cali.nyn)'''.

== White Badges (level 0) ==
These are badges that represent the very basic knowledge to become an active member of sNr. They can be earned by visiting a '''sNr Monday Classes''' or just '''demonstrating the required knowledge'''.

Most of these badges are available as versions for '''animals''' and versions for '''handlers''', simply as being good at steering a cart and directing a pony that steers a cart are quite different activities.

==== Animal Badges ====
A note ahead of the specifics, while badges can are usually not awarded retro-actively for things achieved in the past; some things like lap count or GTFO levels can not be distinguished by time, in these cases the total amount stands, just augmented by a current show under the supervision of a qualified trainer.

*'''Whip Circle'''

*:Silver: 10 minutes of Whip Circle with good performance with an sNr trainer (performance is judged by the trainer) in basic difficulty with added running/walking transitions.
*:Gold: 20 minutes of Whip Circle while the trainer will actively try to trick the pony into patterns and provoke mistakes. The pony needs to be judged as doing exceptionally over the whole duration of the test.
*'''Lap Yard'''
*:Bronze: A total of 500 laps, 50 of those have to be done under trainer supervision after the implementation of the badge system.
*:Silver: A total of 2500 laps, 100 of those have to be done under trainer supervision after the implementation of the badge system.

Training Guides

2025-10-16T13:25:35Z

Cali: /* Lap Yard */

== Training Basics ==
{{:Training Basics}}

== Etiquette Training ==
For new pony’s, it's recommended that staff begin training with basic behavior. It is pretty easy to do: just keep a mare leashed and have her used to follow her handler. Walk, stop, turn, stop for a long time... in all cases the mare must keep her attention focused on the handler and react immediately when the handler moves. Any slips must be immediately pointed out. And the mare must be reminded that when going afk she must signal it using the kneel gesture.
This can usually be done in a one-hour session or maybe splitting it into two sessions. The key is to pay close attention to detail and point out any deficiency immediately. The mare must be aware that the trainer is really paying attention.
This phase is also good to make sure that the mare can use the gestures properly. Kneeling when going afk and yawning when it must logoff. It's very important because often mares won't have IM's enabled even with the trainer. So, they need the gestures to communicate.
At the point you leash a pony, it should move and stay close behind you, slightly to your right or left. The pony should greet you properly with a curtsy when you arrive, or to thank you for your training or time. The pony should be polite and respectfully, responding clearly in a timely manner, and indicate clearly when it needs to leave or is afk. As a trainer you will of course reward the pony for good behavior with an apple or a sugar cube, for instance.

=== Blindfolds and Patience ===
Although mainly used for punishment, blindfolds can be useful when parking ponies in different situations. For example, when hitching a pony in front of a store. The blindfold will keep them separated from the people around her and force her to be patient. As a training aid it's a good idea to check whether she is focused while blindfolded.
Going afk must always be signaled with a kneel. A blindfolded pony who is not kneeling must still be perfectly responsive.

== Carting ==

=== Carting at the sim or on LL public roads ===
When you feel confident, don’t just cart at sNr, take the ponies into the wild or other pony sims. If you go to FFF, you can rez one of their carts and head out onto LL Roads. Just make sure that the pony is dressed appropriately for the maturity level of the land you are going to.
When starting carting for the first time, it’s best just to take one pony out. You will need the [[sNr Staff HUD]] for the cart whip commands and you can use the cart out at the back of the stables, if it is not in use.
To seat the pony on the cart, it is best to use the force sit feature within Mare Control. See the section on the sNr Staff HUD on how to do this.
When the pony is seated, it should default to the cart AO without the pony having to disable the AO.
Now you can take a seat on the cart yourself. Press the left and right keyboard arrows at the same time to change your pose if required.
Using the sNr Staff HUD, press the blue whip icon.
[[File:SNr Staff HUD.png|thumb]]
<div style="clear: both"></div>
This will display the carting whip component of the HUD:
[[File:SNr Whip HUD.png|thumb]]
<div style="clear: both"></div>

==== Whip Commands for Carting ====
The HUD issues whip commands for carting to the pony as follows:
* Start (1 crack) means the pony should start moving forward and follow the road ahead. Remember to click the cart to remove the handbrake first, or the cart will not move.
* Stop (2 cracks) means the pony should stop as soon as possible. This may need the pony to press Page Down a few times to go down the gears.
* Left (3 cracks) the pony should turn left at the next available opportunity.
* Right (4 cracks) the pony should turn right at the next available opportunity.
* Up will tell the pony to speed up, and they need to tap Page Up or alternatively use the "E" key. Mac users: hold down the fn key and press the up arrow.
* Down will tell the pony to slow down, and they need to tap Page Down or alternatively use the "C" key. Mac users: hold down the fn key and press the down arrow.
* Home (5 cracks) will tell the pony to reverse. They will need to press the down arrow and perhaps work down the gears to a walking pace.
* The "N" indicator in the bottom left hand corner shows the current speed you have selected for the pony and ranges from N (neutral) to gear 1 (walk), 2 (trot) and 3 (gallop).
* If the pony is in mouselook, they need to look down at the bars of the cart, to ensure they are looking straight ahead in order to be properly aligned to steer correctly.
* The arrow in the top left-hand corner takes you back to the main sNr HUD icons for when you have finished carting.
* Always give the pony time a reasonable lead time for them to react, so issue your whip command well in advance of the next course direction.
* Be aware of lag, and both you and the pony need to stay calm when this happens, and not spam commands.
* In time it will become a natural and seamless harmony between pony and trainer.
* When the cart ride has finished, reward the pony as appropriate and return them to their stall.

'''IMPORTANT:''' If you seat a pony on a cart (or anything else) using the Mare Control forcesit feature, you most also use Mare Control to unseat it at the end, or it will try and grab the pony again later. So, think before unseating the pony using the cart menu at the end of the carting session.<br>

'''SIM CROSSINGS:''' Please try these [[Firestorm settings]] for smoother sim crossings when wild carting. 

=== Cart racing, Speed carting ===
Compete, record the times, learn and improve! There are some pony sims with racing carts with tracks in order to participate.

== Lap Yard==
The Lapyard is to melt the ponies brain and shape it into a dumb beast of burden that performs no matter what^^

Test the animal’s commitment by patiently and diligently doing those laps! Perhaps a target number of laps has been set as a target?
* The lap circle is located in front of the stalls, below the bridge.
* If the bar across the gate is locked, press and hold your cursor against it for 3 seconds and it will be unlocked so you can open it.
* Leash the pony to the centre pole with a length of 30M and command it to start walking around the edge of the track, close to the outer walls.
* The number of laps the pony has done is indicated on the scoreboards. It will toggle between 24 hours and 1 week. The other scoreboard shows the all-time records, and they are very impressive.
* Make sure the animals are following it well and focus on their task.

== Whip circle ==
Mares live in a really small world. With no freedom they depend on grooms and trainers in order to do anything. Moreover, their activities are very limited. For a cart mare, for example, it may mean doing only whip circle training and pulling carts. It's not an intellectually stimulating activity and it can be pretty hard to stay like a mare in the long term. It's of capital importance to train the mares for routine activities so that they get used to it as soon as possible.

* Ideally whip circle sessions should last for at least an hour. As in any other training exercise, the trainer must be aware of any faults made by the mare and point them out immediately. A training in which mistakes are unnoticed is pointless. Be aware that some mares make mistakes on purpose and discipline breaks soon with trainers who don't notice.
* Unless mistakes are too many and too frequent for the experience of the mare, it's not necessary to punish them. Warning them is more than enough. For a punishment, some time in a blindfold usually sends a strong message.
* Apart from getting used to routine, the whip circle is valuable to teach obedience. Many mares, even with good intentions, often try to outsmart their trainers by guessing the next order. Generally, it's just eagerness to "obey quickly" but that is not really obedience.
* To discourage "guessing" it's good to be irregular with whip training. Alternate periods of very fast paced commands with periods in which the mare can complete several cycles between commands. Also, tricking the mare to make a fault and, of course, pointing it when it's made, will teach it to obey instead of guessing. An example on how to trick a mare to guessing follows. A quick succession of walk-stop-walk-stop-walk-stop (repeat the walk-stop pair of signals ten times or so) followed by a stop-turn signal will often trick the mare to walk. A well trained mare will always listen for the command instead of guessing. Another technique that can be used is to change a long-term pattern. If the trainer always signals a walk after a long stop, a guessing pony will probably walk when the trainer signals a turn. Again, always point out the fault.

Whip circle is not just a simple matter of walking in circles. A well-trained mare will walk along the circle as accurately as lag allows. When stopped waiting for commands the mare must stand still. Even if the trainer takes time between commands, the mare must stand still, not looking around to try to figure what's going on. Focus is the key. Also, movements must be determined and fluid. Turns must be quick and clean with no corrections.

=== Practical Steps ===
So here are the practical steps:
* Take one or more ponies (max four) to one of the two whip circle areas.
* Have them leashed to the center pole (30 m length) and spread evenly around the track, facing the same direction. Check they are all ready before you start.
* Use your whip (and whip HUD) to issue command:
** 1 crack is start moving in the direction they are facing.
** 2 cracks are to stop.
** 3 cracks are to turn left. If they are moving, this should be done as tightly as possible, keeping to the road. If they are stopped, then they turn on the spot without moving forward.
** 4 cracks are to turn right. If they are moving, this should be done as tightly as possible, keeping to the road. If they are stopped, then they turn on the spot without moving forward.
** 5 cracks mean ‘return to whip’. The pony should approach you from the front and then curtsy before awaiting further commands, or being leashed.
* It is fun to test the pony by trying to trick them. Such as pressing stop twice in a row and seeing if they start moving, or start twice in a row and see if they stop.
* In addition, if you stop a pony then they should stay completely still and await further commands. Ponies that turn to face you to see what is happening should be corrected.
* You expect the ponies to have your full attention, so you should give them yours. Pull back your view so you can see exactly how they are responding to your commands. If you spot a fault, call it out with the pony’s name. Some trainers blindfold experienced ponies for 30 minutes if they have committed three faults.
* When finished, leash the ponies and return them to their stall. 

== Slalom ==
A true skill sport… teach the animal to get the best time they can!
There are slalom training poles at sNr and other pony sims.
Some slaloms are walked, some run. This will be indicated at the track.
The idea is for the pony to weave around the poles to the end, do a tight turn and head back weaving as quickly as they can without hitting a pole.
The pony’s time is shown on the scoreboard. As a guide, 15 seconds is acceptable, 14 seconds is good, 13 seconds amazing and 12 seconds rare.
Encourage the pony and try to help them get a better time by carefully watching their movements.
Be aware that lag can affect a pony’s time, so a quiet sim is sometimes preferable. 

== Barrels ==
Teach the animals to master the direction and route to get a great time.
With this sport, the pony has to go around the barrels at speed in the correct order without touching them and get the quickest time they can.
The correct route is usually displayed alongside the barrels.
Some barrels are walked, some run. This will be indicated at the track.

== Steeples ==
Teach the animal to be the King or Queen of those jumps!
The idea of steeples is to get around the course as quickly as possible without hitting any of the fences or posts (where present).
It is a true skill event and requires a lot of patience and practice to master.
The pony needs to judge very carefully at which point to jump and what angle to take.
In preferences | Move & View | Movement, Disable waiting for pre-jump and landing animation should not be enabled. This is enforced at formal events.
In Avatar | Movement, Quickjump must not be enabled. Please don’t teach the pony bad habits, as they may not use this in formal events.
It is useful for the pony to know that they can turn mid-air using avi-steering and that if they keep their jump button held down the avatar will do continuous jumps without stopping.
Practice makes perfect. 

== Dressage ==
Show off the beauty and elegance of your silent bond with your animal with dressage. Knowledge of this subject is not required to pass the Trainer Exam. The main styles are Silent Dressage and Pony Flower (also known as Flower Dressage).<br>

** [[Silent Flower Dressage|Silent Flower Dressage Guide]]

== Polo ==
Represent sNr or come support your home stables! The teaching of polo is beyond the scope of this guide but there is a polo field at sNr for you to practice on or have ad-hoc matches. Any staff member can set up an impromptu game - and ponies usually find it fun. For those interested in going pro, SnR has a team in the Polo League where stables compete against each other in organised league. Send a message to the Group chat, or speak to a Senior Trainer or above for more information.

= Welcome to Stones N Rubber =
[[File:Stonesnrubberlogo withlogos 4x.png|center|Stones N Rubber Stables]]
Stones N Rubber is an adult sim dedicated to transformation roleplay and pet play. It is not a capture roleplay or free sex sim. What defines sNr has evolved over time and will continue to do in the future. Currently the '''Stones N Rubber Stables''' is the core component and these rules describe the stables and the roles people have within the stables. The focus of ponyplay at Stones N Rubber Stables is on Dominance, submission and ponyplay.
If you are curious about the other livestock in sNr, please see the section on the [[D-Zone Cows]].

== sNr Ethos ==

{{:sNr Ethos}}

== Sim Rules ==

Visitors are welcome to enjoy the stable and visit the ponies. The only thing we ask of visitors is to respect the theme of the sim and its regular residents.
*Feel free to ask staff to take a pony out and enjoy training it within the sim, just be aware that the animals are restricted to stay in the sim and cannot roam freely without staff supervision.
*Respect people’s choice to roleplay in a BDSM and bondage environment by limiting the use of OOC chat and SL functionalities to circumvent bondage gear to a minimum.
*Feel free to tease the animals a bit, but be aware it’s not a sex sim and no one is liable for animals kicking visitors in the groin.
*No one is forced to play with you, respect SSC (sane, safe, consensual) please
*No griefing or harassment.
*The LL community standards and Terms Of Service apply.

*If you would like to file a complaint about anything please document it via notecard and put it into the complaint box at the main stables - right next to coffee and popcorn - for investigation.
*If you would like to praise something you quite liked here feel free to drop it via notecard into the praise box at the main stables - right next to coffee and popcorn - so we can do more like that.

== How to interact with sNr as a guest ==

When coming to sNr as a guest you might notice some oddities, such as that the beautiful ponygirls can usually be admired in their stables but are both leashed and locked inside such stables, preventing you to interact with them. Another thing to note is that they might seem to ignore what you are saying.

According to the sNr Ethos ponies are strictly controlled animals, which are kept locked in their stables until grooms, dominants or trainers of the sim take them out to put them to work and training. This includes many of them using a system called '''Mare Hearing (MH)''', which '''prevents them from understanding human speech in chat''', and their ability to speak directly is also removed through the bit. If you like to interact with one of the ponies you need to likely do it similar as you would with any domestic animal. The overwhelming majority of them loves pats and appleslices.

If you are a guest and would like to '''take out a pony''' for a ride around the sim or see how it performs in training the best way is to '''look around for one of the human stable roles''' (see also stable structure below), recognizable by group tags such as '''"sNr Groom/Dominant/Trainer"'''. If in a pinch the '''sNr Kitties''' can usually also open stables and help people interacting with the ponies.

For '''general questions about the sim''' it's best to flag down members with the '''"sNr Staff"''' tag, as these are currently working to help with administrative buisness or to help visitors. If no one is available, asking a human stable member gives good results as well.

There are also other animals arund sNr - such as '''puppies, kitties and cows''' - which are usually restricted based on the wishes of their owners without stable rules specifying the kind of restrictions. These should be easier approachable than ponies and most enjoy treats. Finally, you might see '''living statues''' and other objectified people in the sim. These usually have very limited means to interact due to their current role.

== sNr Stable Structure ==

There are several roles available at sNr, depending on the wishes and needs of the respective stable members. By showing the appropiate group tag for their current role, members of the stable can signal that they are available in the capacity of that role. May it be as sNr Staff to help visitors or do administrative work, sNr Pony to serve and be trained, or even sNr Trainer to make use of the sim submissives. Wearing the respective grouptag allows people to see what kind of interaction you are interested in and also how you currently stand in the stable hierarchy. Of course you are also free to wear such tags outside of the sim, you are welcome to spread the word about sNr gridwide as well.

The following tags are sorted depending on the different groups one can join at sNr. The sNr Staff group includes official sim staff and administrative roles, while the other two groups offer mostly tags for roleplaying purposes. Keep in mind that most of the information in the role descriptions is '''generalized and for RP purposes''', just because you should obey humans as a puppy doesnt mean you need to keep playing with someone whose behavior is unacceptable out of character.

In general new people who wish to join sNr will be getting the '''sNr Stable Guest''' role first. Once they have familiarized themselves with the Sim they might wish to persue other roles - dominant, submissive or both - in order to better interact with the other people. In order to ensure both animals and handlers have a minimum of competence when it comes to the roleplay aspect and (more importantly) the RLV restrictions in play other groups may require a certain amount of [[sNr Badges|Badges]] to be collected. The required Badges can be gotten rather easy, but there are some (optional) advanced ones to really show ones skill as well (see the [[sNr Badges|Badges]] Page on how to get them).

=== StonesNRubber Staff ===
*sNr Staff
*:This is the basic group tag available for all staff members. It is a mostly administrative tag that is not included in roleplay of the sim. If you see people with this tag they are either doing administrative work, hosting events or just making sure everything runs well on the sim. '''People with this tag are generally open to questions from guests and willing to help them with issues'''.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for staff.
*sNr Groom
*:Grooms are stable boys or stable maids, which take care of the different animals within the sim and help the sNr Dominants and sNr Trainers by obediently following their instructions. sNr Groom is a good role for submissives or switches who enjoy being in the middle of the stable hierarchy, but it comes with a lot of power over the sNr ponies and sNr livestock. In order to become a groom a minimal set of badges has to be acquired to show basic understanding of the Mare Control and Mare Hearing setup for animals and the ability to train ponygirls in at least one or two disciplines.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for staff; 2 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Trainer
*:Trainers are experienced dominants who have shown to be capable both in general ponyplay, as well as proficient in the specific procedures of the sNr Stables. They hold the highest standing in the stable hierarchy and are trusted to not abuse this privilege. In order to become a sNr Trainer one has to earn a significant amount of badges, showing they are fully capable to train ponygirls, can operate sim items, are able to set up new ponygirls as they are welcomed into the stable, help and train grooms.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for staff; Black Badges: Ponytack, Roleplay, Lapyard; 6 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Senior Trainer / sNr Sim Manager / Old but gold trainer
*:These are legacy roles, which are no longer in practical use. Functionally they are the same as the sNr Trainer role.
*Owner
*:If you catch Sinha with that role give her a few smacks on her ass and bind her up tighter ;)

=== StonesNRubber Stables ===
*sNr Stable Guest
*:This is the general tag for members of the stables. Our dear stable guests are always welcome to hang out, pet the animals and have a pleasant chat. It is also a basic role for everyone who wishes to dive deeper into the Stables but has not yet earned the minimum amount of badges for their desired roles.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' None, this is the entry role. Welcome to sNr :)
*sNr Pony
*:This tag indicates that the wearer is a Pony stabled at sNr and kept according to the sNr Ethos. sNr Ponies are interested in the sports and play aspect of ponyplay over high restrictions. The use and setup of Mare Control and Mare Hearing can be customized and sNr Ponies are not confined to their stall at all times when not in use. This allows them to train themselves into the more sports-oriented pony disciplines, such as slalom, steeple, or polo, at their own pace. It is also an excellent position for ponies who are not overly into the control and bondage aspect of ponyplay. A sNr Pony has to earn a base amount of badges before acquiring this role to show its proficiency with the different ponyplay activities and that it can be trusted to proudly represent the sim and follow training instructions properly.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for animals; 2 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Livestock
*:This tag is for ponies who are heavily focussed on the control and bondage aspect of ponyplay. Livestock is kept strictly in pony role with Mare Control and Mare Hearing generally in place, confined to their stalls unless they are in use by their betters. Due to these restrictions most livestock have significantly less chances to train the sporting ponyplay disciplines and are mostly used for carting, whip circle and trained to be dumb animals in the lap yard. sNr livestock need to acquire a basic amount of badges to show their understanding and capability in the basic pony disciplines, as well as understanding Mare Control and the restrictions that come with it. Do note that sNr Livestock has their IMs blocked at all times by default.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for animals; sNr Livestock introduction; 2 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Mare
*:This role is thematically the same as sNr Livestock and has similar requirements. The main difference is that sNr Mares have access to IMs, while Livestock has those blocked at all times.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for animals; sNr Livestock introduction; 2 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Puppy / sNr Pup
*:These puppies dash around at the Stables or the nearby petplay areas. There are no fixed rules for puppies and their exact treatment is up to their respective owners. In general it is expected that sNr puppies represent the sim well and are good, loyal and obedient boys and girls for the kind humans who make use of them. There are some badges available to earn for puppies and show what good dogs they are.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' White Badge: sNr rules, sim rules, wiki; Black Badge: Petplay.
*sNr Kitty
*:The adorable sNr kitties! According to their own opinions the true rulers of the stables. Most see them as adorable and playful pets, which are free to be petted and played with by staff and guests alike. Just as with the puppies there are no fixed rules for sNr Kitties, so what goes is up to them or their owners. Generally be prepared for the kitties being switchier, less strictly bound and happily domming the other animals or even grooms who fail to put their foot down. There are no specific badges for sNr kitties to be gotten as each kitty is obviously perfect, but they are some general Badges to collect for your amusement.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' White Badge: sNr rules, sim rules, wiki; Black Badge: Petplay.
*sNr Veterinary
*:Those poor souls who risk getting kicked in the groin with a hoofboot or scratched up every day to ensure the animals within the stable are healthy. sNr Veterinaries specialize in medical roleplay, such as checkups for the animals. In order to become a sNr Veterinary one has to gather some specific badges in order to show ones medical license isnt just a fake ;)
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for staff; Black Badges: Roleplay and Veterinary.
*sNr Dominant
*: Both for dominant guests and dominant staff which is not quite experienced enough to gain the sNr Trainer tag. This is predominantly a roleplaying tag to show others your preferences instead of using the visitor or staff tags. Generally one can expect the animals and grooms of the sim to be open to play and willing to submit if they have the time. sNr Dominants just have to earn the basic badges for sim rules and wiki. Staff members who use this role should also have the respective badges for basic understanding of MareControl and MareHearing.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' White Badge: sNr rules, sim rules, wiki.
*sNr Stable Owner
*:If Sinha is catched wearing this tag she needs to be tacked up fully as Stute and be put into the lapyard for at least 500 rounds ;)

== Pony or Mare - the livestock question ==

What should one be and what differentiates those roles? This question is briefly addressed within the respective role restrictions already but lets go a bit more into the details here.

[[Differences between the animal roles|Details in overview (table)]]

*sNr Pony
*:A pony is generally less severely restricted and has a relatively large amount of personal agency. This means while you are a beast of burden to serve and obey your betters, you still have the option to do things by yourself if those betters are busy. This allows ponies to spend a lot of their personal time on honing their skills as a pony, be that in sports, roleplay or carting. While the strictness of restrictions can always be adjusted to personal taste ponies are usually lightly restricted and able to roam freely most of the time. They also have greater freedom when it comes to engaging with roleplay as they are able to understand human speech. Being an sNr Pony is also an excellent choice if you are online when not many staffmembers are active or you like to frequently update your ponytack.

*sNr Mare
*:Mares are heavily restricted and always leashed animals. Everything said about livestock apply to mares as well, but they are able to hear and respond to IM.

*sNr Livestock
*:Livestock are heavily restricted beasts of burdens who are focussed on the D/s aspect of ponyplay, bondage, the experience of being an helpless animal with no rights and the like. Livestock are generally confined to their stalls if not used by staff, so please do understand that this means you will stand a LOT OF TIME in that stall. Expect dominant staff members to have busy schedules and not nearly as much SL time as you would like. On the plus side, as you are in your stall you might just get picked to be used by that dashing trainer while the sNr pony is busy shopping and misses out. However, your skill development in pony disciplines and roleplay will suffer as you can only do certain activities and you have no influence on which those are and how often they are performed. Also you will be unable to understand human language and have to cope with that. The ability to IM is completely restricted, see the difference to mares. Make sure you clarify your needs with the trainer who processes you as you won't be able to communicate afterwards.

All animals will have to spend quite some time waiting in hopes that dominants make use of them. This is the unfortunate reality of SL when long term bondage is involved as dominants are rare. Generally our staff is trying, but please don't expect or demand training as soon as you see a trainer. Being a good dominant is quite challenging and that trainer might just come from a RL 14 hour shift.

Cali:

= sNr Badges =
The sNr Badge system is designed to allow everyone to easily show which kind of training they have or can offer and at what level of specific activity they are when it comes to ponyplay, both for grooms/trainers and animals. In addition staff members and sNr animals have to have some basic badges to show they are able to properly operate sim equipment and understand what said equipment entails. This is to ensure quality service and avoid panic when changes in RLV restrictions cause drastic effects.

In order to look at which badges you or ponies/handlers of your choice have, look here: '''https://badge.sl.vortex.wtf/home'''

There are 5 levels of badges available, but not all badges come in those 5 levels. For more info to each badge please see the following lists.

In case you are wondering '''which Badges you need for a specific role''' please have a look at the '''[[sNr Guides#sNr Stable Structure|sNr Stable Structure]]''', where each role has the required Badges listed.

==== How to get Badges? ====
All Badges are given out by '''certified sNr Trainers''', who have at least the basic version of the badge themselves. If you are in doubt how to find those feel free to poke in groupchat at any time or visit the monday classes as teachers tend to be certified in their topics.

*'''Basic Badges (level 0 and 1)''' can in general be gotten through participation in the respective '''sNr Monday Classes''' or via a private '''demonstration of the respective knowledge''' to a '''certified sNr Trainer'''.

*'''Advanced Badges (level 2-4)''' can be earned through performing badge-specific practical feats to show skill and dedication to the activity only. These badges are not required for any Roles, but give quite the bragging rights when one shows them off. In order to get an advanced Badge you need to find yourself a '''certified sNr Trainer''' and perform the required actifities under said Trainers supervision. This does not have to be done all at once, so more complicated Badges can be earned over multiple days. Some badges require additional people, but in general sNr Staff and Animals are happy to help out.

*'''sNr Monday Classes''' are each Monday at noon SLT, or are available at other times upon request towards Katinka or Cali. Knowledge demonstrations can be performed by certified trainers who have the required badge themselves, if in doubt poke '''Katinka (katinka.teardrop) or Cali (cali.nyn)'''.

== White Badges (level 0) ==
These are badges that represent the very basic knowledge to become an active member of sNr. They can be earned by visiting a '''sNr Monday Classes''' or just '''demonstrating the required knowledge'''.

==== Required for all staff and animals ====
*'''sNr rules, sim rules, wiki'''
*:Rough knowledge of the Stable/Sim rules and that there is a wiki which you can use to look those up in detail in case you are unsure about something. The ability to show guests on the sim one of the links so they can inform themselves in the wiki.
*'''Ponyplay etiquette''', (SL etiquette)
*:General knowledge of how to behave as a pony / handle a pony at sNr Stables, as well as being a functioning member of SL society.
*'''Mare Control, Mare Hearing'''
*:General knowledge of what MC/MH are and how to operate them to ensure you do not screw ponies over as staff and dont get a panic attack about suddenly getting harsh restrictions as pony.
*'''Whip signals'''
*:Knowing how to give/follow the commonly used whip signals for carting and directing a pony.

==== Required for staff only ====
*'''sNr Staff HUD and Staff Vendor'''

SNr Badges

Cali: /* Animal Badges */

= sNr Badges =
The sNr Badge system is designed to allow everyone to easily show which kind of training they have or can offer and at what level of specific activity they are when it comes to ponyplay, both for grooms/trainers and animals. In addition staff members and sNr animals have to have some basic badges to show they are able to properly operate sim equipment and understand what said equipment entails. This is to ensure quality service and avoid panic when changes in RLV restrictions cause drastic effects.

In order to look at which badges you or ponies/handlers of your choice have, look here: '''https://badge.sl.vortex.wtf/home'''

There are 5 levels of badges available, but not all badges come in those 5 levels. For more info to each badge please see the following lists.

In case you are wondering '''which Badges you need for a specific role''' please have a look at the '''[[sNr Guides#sNr Stable Structure|sNr Stable Structure]]''', where each role has the required Badges listed.

==== How to get Badges? ====
All Badges are given out by '''certified sNr Trainers''', who have at least the basic version of the badge themselves. If you are in doubt how to find those feel free to poke in groupchat at any time or visit the monday classes as teachers tend to be certified in their topics.

*'''Basic Badges (level 0 and 1)''' can in general be gotten through participation in the respective '''sNr Monday Classes''' or via a private '''demonstration of the respective knowledge''' to a '''certified sNr Trainer'''.

*'''Advanced Badges (level 2-4)''' can be earned through performing badge-specific practical feats to show skill and dedication to the activity only. These badges are not required for any Roles, but give quite the bragging rights when one shows them off. In order to get an advanced Badge you need to find yourself a '''certified sNr Trainer''' and perform the required actifities under said Trainers supervision. This does not have to be done all at once, so more complicated Badges can be earned over multiple days. Some badges require additional people, but in general sNr Staff and Animals are happy to help out.

*'''sNr Monday Classes''' are each Monday at noon SLT, or are available at other times upon request towards Katinka or Cali. Knowledge demonstrations can be performed by certified trainers who have the required badge themselves, if in doubt poke '''Katinka (katinka.teardrop) or Cali (cali.nyn)'''.

Cali: /* Handler Badges */

= sNr Badges =
The sNr Badge system is designed to allow everyone to easily show which kind of training they have or can offer and at what level of specific activity they are when it comes to ponyplay, both for grooms/trainers and animals. In addition staff members and sNr animals have to have some basic badges to show they are able to properly operate sim equipment and understand what said equipment entails. This is to ensure quality service and avoid panic when changes in RLV restrictions cause drastic effects.

In order to look at which badges you or ponies/handlers of your choice have, look here: '''https://badge.sl.vortex.wtf/home'''

There are 5 levels of badges available, but not all badges come in those 5 levels. For more info to each badge please see the following lists.

In case you are wondering '''which Badges you need for a specific role''' please have a look at the '''[[sNr Guides#sNr Stable Structure|sNr Stable Structure]]''', where each role has the required Badges listed.

==== How to get Badges? ====
All Badges are given out by '''certified sNr Trainers''', who have at least the basic version of the badge themselves. If you are in doubt how to find those feel free to poke in groupchat at any time or visit the monday classes as teachers tend to be certified in their topics.

*'''Basic Badges (level 0 and 1)''' can in general be gotten through participation in the respective '''sNr Monday Classes''' or via a private '''demonstration of the respective knowledge''' to a '''certified sNr Trainer'''.

*'''Advanced Badges (level 2-4)''' can be earned through performing badge-specific practical feats to show skill and dedication to the activity only. These badges are not required for any Roles, but give quite the bragging rights when one shows them off. In order to get an advanced Badge you need to find yourself a '''certified sNr Trainer''' and perform the required actifities under said Trainers supervision. This does not have to be done all at once, so more complicated Badges can be earned over multiple days. Some badges require additional people, but in general sNr Staff and Animals are happy to help out.

*'''sNr Monday Classes''' are each Monday at noon SLT, or are available at other times upon request towards Katinka or Cali. Knowledge demonstrations can be performed by certified trainers who have the required badge themselves, if in doubt poke '''Katinka (katinka.teardrop) or Cali (cali.nyn)'''.

Most of these badges are available as versions for '''animals''' and versions for '''handlers''', simply as being good at steering a cart and directing a pony that steers a cart are quite different activities.

==== Animal Badges ====
A note ahead of the specifics, while badges can are usually not awarded retro-actively for things achieved in the past; some things like lap count or GTFO levels can not be distinguished by time, in these cases the total amount stands, just augmented by a current show under the supervision of a qualified trainer.

*'''Lap Yard'''
*:Bronze: A total of 500 laps, 50 of those have to be done under trainer supervision after the implementation of the badge system.

Cali: /* How to get specific roles within sNr? */

== sNr Ethos ==

{{:sNr Ethos}}

== Sim Rules ==

Visitors are welcome to enjoy the stable and visit the ponies. The only thing we ask of visitors is to respect the theme of the sim and its regular residents.
*Feel free to ask staff to take a pony out and enjoy training it within the sim, just be aware that the animals are restricted to stay in the sim and cannot roam freely without staff supervision.
*Respect people’s choice to roleplay in a BDSM and bondage environment by limiting the use of OOC chat and SL functionalities to circumvent bondage gear to a minimum.
*Feel free to tease the animals a bit, but be aware it’s not a sex sim and no one is liable for animals kicking visitors in the groin.
*No one is forced to play with you, respect SSC (sane, safe, consensual) please
*No griefing or harassment.
*The LL community standards and Terms Of Service apply.

*If you would like to file a complaint about anything please document it via notecard and put it into the complaint box at the main stables - right next to coffee and popcorn - for investigation.
*If you would like to praise something you quite liked here feel free to drop it via notecard into the praise box at the main stables - right next to coffee and popcorn - so we can do more like that.

== How to interact with sNr as a guest ==

When coming to sNr as a guest you might notice some oddities, such as that the beautiful ponygirls can usually be admired in their stables but are both leashed and locked inside such stables, preventing you to interact with them. Another thing to note is that they might seem to ignore what you are saying.

According to the sNr Ethos ponies are strictly controlled animals, which are kept locked in their stables until grooms, dominants or trainers of the sim take them out to put them to work and training. This includes many of them using a system called '''Mare Hearing (MH)''', which '''prevents them from understanding human speech in chat''', and their ability to speak directly is also removed through the bit. If you like to interact with one of the ponies you need to likely do it similar as you would with any domestic animal. The overwhelming majority of them loves pats and appleslices.

If you are a guest and would like to '''take out a pony''' for a ride around the sim or see how it performs in training the best way is to '''look around for one of the human stable roles''' (see also stable structure below), recognizable by group tags such as '''"sNr Groom/Dominant/Trainer"'''. If in a pinch the '''sNr Kitties''' can usually also open stables and help people interacting with the ponies.

For '''general questions about the sim''' it's best to flag down members with the '''"sNr Staff"''' tag, as these are currently working to help with administrative buisness or to help visitors. If no one is available, asking a human stable member gives good results as well.

There are also other animals arund sNr - such as '''puppies, kitties and cows''' - which are usually restricted based on the wishes of their owners without stable rules specifying the kind of restrictions. These should be easier approachable than ponies and most enjoy treats. Finally, you might see '''living statues''' and other objectified people in the sim. These usually have very limited means to interact due to their current role.

== sNr Stable Structure ==

There are several roles available at sNr, depending on the wishes and needs of the respective stable members. By showing the appropiate group tag for their current role, members of the stable can signal that they are available in the capacity of that role. May it be as sNr Staff to help visitors or do administrative work, sNr Pony to serve and be trained, or even sNr Trainer to make use of the sim submissives. Wearing the respective grouptag allows people to see what kind of interaction you are interested in and also how you currently stand in the stable hierarchy. Of course you are also free to wear such tags outside of the sim, you are welcome to spread the word about sNr gridwide as well.

The following tags are sorted depending on the different groups one can join at sNr. The sNr Staff group includes official sim staff and administrative roles, while the other two groups offer mostly tags for roleplaying purposes. Keep in mind that most of the information in the role descriptions is '''generalized and for RP purposes''', just because you should obey humans as a puppy doesnt mean you need to keep playing with someone whose behavior is unacceptable out of character.

In general new people who wish to join sNr will be getting the '''sNr Stable Guest''' role first. Once they have familiarized themselves with the Sim they might wish to persue other roles - dominant, submissive or both - in order to better interact with the other people. In order to ensure both animals and handlers have a minimum of competence when it comes to the roleplay aspect and (more importantly) the RLV restrictions in play other groups may require a certain amount of [[sNr Badges|Badges]] to be collected. The required Badges can be gotten rather easy, but there are some (optional) advanced ones to really show ones skill as well (see the [[sNr Badges|Badges]] Page on how to get them).

=== StonesNRubber Staff ===
*sNr Staff
*:This is the basic group tag available for all staff members. It is a mostly administrative tag that is not included in roleplay of the sim. If you see people with this tag they are either doing administrative work, hosting events or just making sure everything runs well on the sim. '''People with this tag are generally open to questions from guests and willing to help them with issues'''.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for staff.
*sNr Groom
*:Grooms are stable boys or stable maids, which take care of the different animals within the sim and help the sNr Dominants and sNr Trainers by obediently following their instructions. sNr Groom is a good role for submissives or switches who enjoy being in the middle of the stable hierarchy, but it comes with a lot of power over the sNr ponies and sNr livestock. In order to become a groom a minimal set of badges has to be acquired to show basic understanding of the Mare Control and Mare Hearing setup for animals and the ability to train ponygirls in at least one or two disciplines.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for staff; 2 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Trainer
*:Trainers are experienced dominants who have shown to be capable both in general ponyplay, as well as proficient in the specific procedures of the sNr Stables. They hold the highest standing in the stable hierarchy and are trusted to not abuse this privilege. In order to become a sNr Trainer one has to earn a significant amount of badges, showing they are fully capable to train ponygirls, can operate sim items, are able to set up new ponygirls as they are welcomed into the stable, help and train grooms.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for staff; Black Badges: Ponytack, Roleplay, Lapyard; 6 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Senior Trainer / sNr Sim Manager / Old but gold trainer
*:These are legacy roles, which are no longer in practical use. Functionally they are the same as the sNr Trainer role.
*Owner
*:If you catch Sinha with that role give her a few smacks on her ass and bind her up tighter ;)

=== StonesNRubber Stables ===
*sNr Stable Guest
*:This is the general tag for members of the stables. Our dear stable guests are always welcome to hang out, pet the animals and have a pleasant chat. It is also a basic role for everyone who wishes to dive deeper into the Stables but has not yet earned the minimum amount of badges for their desired roles.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' None, this is the entry role. Welcome to sNr :)
*sNr Pony
*:This tag indicates that the wearer is a Pony stabled at sNr and kept according to the sNr Ethos. sNr Ponies are interested in the sports and play aspect of ponyplay over high restrictions. The use and setup of Mare Control and Mare Hearing can be customized and sNr Ponies are not confined to their stall at all times when not in use. This allows them to train themselves into the more sports-oriented pony disciplines, such as slalom, steeple, or polo, at their own pace. It is also an excellent position for ponies who are not overly into the control and bondage aspect of ponyplay. A sNr Pony has to earn a base amount of badges before acquiring this role to show its proficiency with the different ponyplay activities and that it can be trusted to proudly represent the sim and follow training instructions properly.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for animals; 2 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Livestock
*:This tag is for ponies who are heavily focussed on the control and bondage aspect of ponyplay. Livestock is kept strictly in pony role with Mare Control and Mare Hearing generally in place, confined to their stalls unless they are in use by their betters. Due to these restrictions most livestock have significantly less chances to train the sporting ponyplay disciplines and are mostly used for carting, whip circle and trained to be dumb animals in the lap yard. sNr livestock need to acquire a basic amount of badges to show their understanding and capability in the basic pony disciplines, as well as understanding Mare Control and the restrictions that come with it.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for animals; sNr Livestock introduction; 2 Black Badges of ones choice.
*sNr Puppy / sNr Pup
*:These puppies dash around at the Stables or the nearby petplay areas. There are no fixed rules for puppies and their exact treatment is up to their respective owners. In general it is expected that sNr puppies represent the sim well and are good, loyal and obedient boys and girls for the kind humans who make use of them. There are some badges available to earn for puppies and show what good dogs they are.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' White Badge: sNr rules, sim rules, wiki; Black Badge: Petplay.
*sNr Kitty
*:The adorable sNr kitties! According to their own opinions the true rulers of the stables. Most see them as adorable and playful pets, which are free to be petted and played with by staff and guests alike. Just as with the puppies there are no fixed rules for sNr Kitties, so what goes is up to them or their owners. Generally be prepared for the kitties being switchier, less strictly bound and happily domming the other animals or even grooms who fail to put their foot down. There are no specific badges for sNr kitties to be gotten as each kitty is obviously perfect, but they are some general Badges to collect for your amusement.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' White Badge: sNr rules, sim rules, wiki; Black Badge: Petplay.
*sNr Veterinary
*:Those poor souls who risk getting kicked in the groin with a hoofboot or scratched up every day to ensure the animals within the stable are healthy. sNr Veterinaries specialize in medical roleplay, such as checkups for the animals. In order to become a sNr Veterinary one has to gather some specific badges in order to show ones medical license isnt just a fake ;)
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' Standard White Badges for staff; Black Badges: Roleplay and Veterinary.
*sNr Dominant
*: Both for dominant guests and dominant staff which is not quite experienced enough to gain the sNr Trainer tag. This is predominantly a roleplaying tag to show others your preferences instead of using the visitor or staff tags. Generally one can expect the animals and grooms of the sim to be open to play and willing to submit if they have the time. sNr Dominants just have to earn the basic badges for sim rules and wiki. Staff members who use this role should also have the respective badges for basic understanding of MareControl and MareHearing.
*:'''Required [[sNr Badges|Badges]]:''' White Badge: sNr rules, sim rules, wiki.
*sNr Stable Owner
*:If Sinha is catched wearing this tag she needs to be tacked up fully as Stute and be put into the lapyard for at least 500 rounds ;)

== Pony or Mare - the livestock question ==

What should one be and what differentiates those roles? This question is briefly addressed within the respective role restrictions already but lets go a bit more into the details here.

*sNr Pony
*:A pony is generally less severely restricted and has a relatively large amount of personal agency. This means while you are a beast of burden to serve and obey your betters, you still have the option to do things by yourself if those betters are busy. This allows ponies to spend a lot of their personal time on honing their skills as a pony, be that in sports, roleplay or carting. While the strictness of restrictions can always be adjusted to personal taste ponies are usually lightly restricted and able to roam freely most of the time. They also have greater freedom when it comes to engaging with roleplay as they are able to understand human speech. Being an sNr Pony is also an excellent choice if you are online when not many staffmembers are active or you like to frequently update your ponytack.

*sNr Mare
*:Mares are heavily restricted and always leashed animals. Everything said about livestock apply to mares as well, but they are able to hear and respond to IM.

*sNr Livestock
*:Livestock are heavily restricted beasts of burdens who are focussed on the D/s aspect of ponyplay, bondage, the experience of being an helpless animal with no rights and the like. Livestock are generally confined to their stalls if not used by staff, so please do understand that this means you will stand a LOT OF TIME in that stall. Expect dominant staff members to have busy schedules and not nearly as much SL time as you would like. On the plus side, as you are in your stall you might just get picked to be used by that dashing trainer while the sNr pony is busy shopping and misses out. However, your skill development in pony disciplines and roleplay will suffer as you can only do certain activities and you have no influence on which those are and how often they are performed. Also you will be unable to understand human language and have to cope with that. The ability to IM is completely restricted, see the difference to mares. Make sure you clarify your needs with the trainer who processes you as you won't be able to communicate afterwards.

All animals will have to spend quite some time waiting in hopes that dominants make use of them. This is the unfortunate reality of SL when long term bondage is involved as dominants are rare. Generally our staff is trying, but please don't expect or demand training as soon as you see a trainer. Being a good dominant is quite challenging and that trainer might just come from a RL 14 hour shift.

[[File:Stonesnrubberlogo withlogos 4x.png|center|Stones N Rubber Stables]]
Stones N Rubber is an adult sim dedicated to transformation roleplay and pet play. It is not a capture roleplay or free sex sim. What defines sNr has evolved over time and will continue to do in the future. Currently the '''Stones N Rubber Stables''' is the core component and these rules describe the stables and the roles people have within the stables. The focus of ponyplay at Stones N Rubber Stables is on Dominance, submission and ponyplay.
If you are curious about the other livestock in sNr, please see the section on the [[D-Zone Cows]].

Cali:

= sNr Badges =
The sNr Badge system is designed to allow everyone to easily show which kind of training they have or can offer and at what level of specific activity they are when it comes to ponyplay, both for grooms/trainers and animals. In addition staff members and sNr animals have to have some basic badges to show they are able to properly operate sim equipment and understand what said equipment entails. This is to ensure quality service and avoid panic when changes in RLV restrictions cause drastic effects.

In order to look at which badges you or ponies/handlers of your choice have, look here: '''https://badge.sl.vortex.wtf/home'''

There are 5 levels of badges available, but not all badges come in those 5 levels. For more info to each badge please see the following lists.

In case you are wondering '''which Badges you need for a specific role''' please have a look at the '''[[sNr Guides#sNr Stable Structure|sNr Stable Structure]]''', where each role has the required Badges listed.

==== How to get Badges? ====
All Badges are given out by '''certified sNr Trainers''', who have at least the basic version of the badge themselves. If you are in doubt how to find those feel free to poke in groupchat at any time or visit the monday classes as teachers tend to be certified in their topics.

*'''Basic Badges (level 0 and 1)''' can in general be gotten through participation in the respective '''sNr Monday Classes''' or via a private '''demonstration of the respective knowledge''' to a '''certified sNr Trainer'''.

*'''Advanced Badges (level 2-4)''' can be earned through performing badge-specific practical feats to show skill and dedication to the activity only. These badges are not required for any Roles, but give quite the bragging rights when one shows them off. In order to get an advanced Badge you need to find yourself a '''certified sNr Trainer''' and perform the required actifities under said Trainers supervision. This does not have to be done all at once, so more complicated Badges can be earned over multiple days. Some badges require additional people, but in general sNr Staff and Animals are happy to help out.

*'''sNr Monday Classes''' are each Monday at noon SLT, or are available at other times upon request towards Katinka or Cali. Knowledge demonstrations can be performed by certified trainers who have the required badge themselves, if in doubt poke '''Katinka (katinka.teardrop) or Cali (cali.nyn)'''.
