Horses can compete in disciplines like Dressage, In-Hand, Show Jumping, Thoroughbred Racing, and many others.

All members are encouraged to enter and participate in shows, as well as host their own.

The main attraction of the forum is that it is the only place that showing and competing with Petz horses is allowed. Members can create their own stable with an exclusive prefix (or suffix), choose custom stable colors, even design some racing silks, and interact with other horse-lovers in the community by showing, hexing, breeding, selling, and adopting horses. Seeing Stars is a forum created for the Petz Community to show, breed, hex, race, and otherwise enjoy Petz horses. Modders, people who modify the base file into a certain breed or shape, have also been allowed to decide whether to release their mods to everyone, which is why many files by Haubing, Mak, Jewellz, and others are included in the breedfile downloads section. As the Petz Community diminished, Manda and Rafa released many breedfiles available to all. This is because, as far as the game knows, they ARE a dog.Īt first, none of the horse breedfiles were available to the public and they were more exclusive, for 'fileholders' only. They've been altered so they look like horses and they are silent - no barking! However, sometimes they do act more like dogs, very excited for frisbees and such. Dane's elusive Havoc Horse is the largest of the files, but also very rare as it was never released - most members who had one are inactive.Īll of the accepted horse files at Seeing Stars are Great Dane overwrites. Rafa's v2 and v3 files show great attention to detail and allow for quite a bit of customization. Her v2 base file looks much more realistic and has impressive movement in the game. Manda's v1 horse base was the first to take the community by storm. Several members of the community set out to make horses.

At first, you could only do this using hex editor programs, but Nicholas Sherlock, a software developer and Petz fan, created several helpful programs for the community, such as PetzA, Petz Workshop, and LNZ Pro, and put them up for download at Sherlock Software to make petz hexing much easier for everyone. pet file or a breedfile's code to be different from the original, often in a visual way, such as making white Great Danes with brown spots. It is a compilation of all the resources and guides, as well as breedfiles, toys, and other items that are useful to anyone who wants to play, hex, breed, or show Petz horses at Seeing Stars into one spot, as opposed to scattered threads throughout the forum.Īs the Petz Community grew, 'hexing' became one way to differentiate yourself and your pets form everyone else.

This companion site was put together to help new members just starting out at Seeing Stars, as well as more experienced members that just want to double-check or download something.
