What is your views on custom breeds? As in, breeds made by people that are fictional and doesn't exist in real life. Are they cliché, a waste of time, fun, creative or annoying?
I'm of the view that if the breed in question only has a name, no backstory and no set guidelines as a real life breed would have... it's a waste to make it. I've even seen some create a breed and not even name it! At the very least you should decide the common/uncommon coat colours, what discipline it's most suitable for and it's name.
As a creative outlet it's great if you want to write long and informative text, especially if you put it into practise and actually compete/breed/use horses of that breed in the future. Too often I see interesting breeds stop being used and it's a shame because had it grown more into itself and become more popular, I might've wanted to have one!
If it's just you being bored and throwing something together without rhyme or reason, it's cliché, annoying and while creative... not really creative xD
