Look I'm not the best writer but what I am good at is looking at some information about a topic. Lately with the 1.6 updates horses were added to Minecraft but minerealm has yet to see a single horse. Why? Theres far too many other animals crowding the server. Chickens the most common of them all.
Below I'm going to post some information I got about the server by using the command /serverhealth.

Lets face it were not going to get horses unless we the Minerealm community makes a sacrifice. Chickens are easy to replace, players have mounds of eggs. It's easy enough to say if all the chickens were despawned minerealm would have no problem replacing them.

As of about 2200 GMT-5 on 5 July, 2013 /serverhealth reported
465 villagers
114 pigs
260 cows
566 chickens
4 ocelots
364 sheep
63 squid
219 Iron Golems
19 other animals

Facts
Theres 1390 animals on the server
If you include Iron Golems and Villagers thats 2074 mobs.
out of the 1390 40.7% are chickens. Thats over one third!
out of the 2074 27.2% are chickens.

Killing the chickens
1390 to 824 animals
2074 to 1508 mobs

Killing all easy to replace (or animals/mobs you just cant farm; squids) (iron golems, squids, chickens)
1390 to 761 animals (chickens and squids only)
2074 to 1226 mobs (chickens, squids, iron golems)

Look before you all say I don't want my chickens killed like that. Think of the rewards... you get horses.
Myself and hopefully many others destroyed their animal farms to the basics 2-4 of each mob in hope to increase the chances of a horse. Horses wont come easy and I'm willing to make the sacrifice of killing the chickens. Are you?

mistake made I did /serverhealth on the 18th of July

[Skylord_Fox]

yes. Kill ALL teh chikunz.

Horses only spawn in 1.6 chunks so none will spawn even with the despawn sorry .

Also I rather like my chickens I would prefer my animals not to have another despawn.

They are however , doing something to the wild, I believe, for the horses to be implemented.

I support for 3 main reasons:
1. Chickens annoy me.
2. You're a friend.
3. I would like to have a horse.

You need 1.6 chunks loaded to spawn horses, de-spawning existing mobs will do nothing

[Skylord_Fox]

Let's keep to the main idea here: KILL CHIKUNZ.

Animals will spawn upon initial chunk generation, but all of the chunks already generated.

Mojang put in another spawning method just for this purpose, when all of your chunks are generated and you've killed all the animals in your world. Horses WILL spawn in 1.5 chunks. But with this method, they will do so at about 1 animal per 5 seconds. So they added a cap and it's about 11.3 animals per player. The number of animals loaded on the server at any time is likely always above the cap.

All we really need to do is move away from our animals all at once and all stand in plains biome. But I imagine killing chickens could help too.

It's ENTIRELY possible to spawn horses naturally, but it's a group effort.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for horses, I can tell you that the server as it is cannot have them. But what it does have are a very particular set of chickens; chickens I have acquired over a very long career. Chickens that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you stop trying to get them despawed, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill your horses.
