Shared stables for ranches, sans asset transfer worries

I see this was suggested here a year ago, but want to reiterate as it would really elevate horse training, ranching, and now upcoming veterinary work in the server! I’ve suggested this in quick suggestions as well, but the worry of asset transfer came up - so I have thought of a couple of different ideas to safeguard abusing the system.

1. The shared stable would require faction membership to the ranch of employment, similar to access to horse training scripts.
2. The shared stable mechanic would be used for enhancing RP only - showing, training, and treating horses housed on the ranch.
3. ONLY the owner of the horse can transfer permanent ownership to another player - in other words, no transfer mechanic within shared stables. The horse would need to be ‘sent back’ to the owner’s stable for transfer to be an option.
4. Potentially, a radius could be introduced so that the horse cannot be taken on a joyride off ranch. Shared stables should only be used for working with the horse and showing potential buyers within the property borders.

This mechanic would be HUGE for ranches and veterinarians, and a great avenue for RP across the server! It’s always frustrating trying to explain to visitors that only one person has ‘keys’ to a certain horse’s stable, and can break down RP quality and QoL for visitors and trainers alike.

I also feel like this same mechanic could also transfer well to other applications - like shared wagons for a variety of businesses and groups! I know a big script change is a hard ask for a small group of players - but I also know with the new ranching update coming up that you do value ranchers in the server. I feel like this would be a huge boon to all ranches that sell horses and to the future of veterinary RP in the server!

Thank you for reading <3
