Find them on the Upgrade page under "Upgrades" just below premium subscriptions.

What are they?
Breed Characteristics allow you to alter the appearance of your horses by applying the characteristic traits of real-life breeds. You can change the look of any horse you own, and modify your personal breeds to apply BCs automatically. Subscriptions unlock all the BCs currently in the game, even limited edition BCs. With approximately 6 new Breed Characteristics being added every year a BC subscription represents a significant discount.

Limited Edition BCs
Some BCs are limited edition like the Infernal that came out this year. Once that is removed from the unlock page on Dec. 1st the only way to get it (if you missed buying it) will be via a subscription.

What happens if it expires?
You are already allowed to own horses with BCs you do not own. If your subscription expires all the edits you made to horses will stay. However, your breeds will revert to the "National" BC. That means you will no longer be able to create new horses with those BCs, or breed foals with those BCs. It will not change all your horses to the National BC unless you go in and update your breed or horses yourself though. You get to keep the edits you made until such time as you change those horses' breed characteristics.


What about the BCs I already purchased?
Any BC you already own will behave exactly as before, and will still be owned by you if your subscription expires. It won't alter your breed settings either. Only BCs you don't own will get reset. So if you love the Polish Arabian and always want your breeds to STAY Polish Arabian but want to play around with some other BCs too then your best bet is to buy the BC you love and have a subscription for trying out other ones.

Can we buy them for other players or try it for a month?
BC subs will work like the new premium subscription system. If you want to buy it for another player or buy a few months at a time you can. That ability will be out probably tomorrow. We decided it was better to get this out today and get those out as a pair tomorrow since they share a lot of workload for us.
