Icelandic names are collected from Flying C Ranch. Horses which have been exported from Iceland always have a name that looks this way: [name] frá [ranch name] (frá = from). Almost all stallion (and gelding) names ends with ur or i while almost all mares names ends with a. Most icelandic names have a meaning to it, its more than just a name. Feykir for instans means Stormwind, Kára means curly hair. Many names are mythological, like Mimir which is the giant of wisdom, Embla is the mother of all mankind, and so on.
Iceland is a part of Scandinavia, where also the countrys Sweden, Denmark, Norway (and Finland). Even if so, many in the other countries doesnt understand a thing of what for instans the Icelandic people are saying - their language were isolated for a thousend years on iceland and the rest of the world have pretty much forgotten about the elder languges. Icelanders have their own extra letters to the alphabetic, 8 more than the usual ones. Unfortunately the extra letters can't be used on ponybox for the names (even if its possible on horse's pictures).

You can vote once per day for each member. This means your vote will count for as many members as you vote for each day; however, you can't vote
twice for the same member in one day.

What does the up and down arrow mean in the Mayor vote:
Clicking the up arrow will give the member 1 vote. Clicking the down arrow will take away 1 vote from the member in most case.
