School has officially begun which means you will see new blog posts less often. 11th grade is the hardest in our school and I fully have to concentrate on studying. But can I go a day without Howrse? No!
Our favorite online horse game Howrse is now 10 years old! Here I personally want to thank the game creators and the crew who is all behind it. No other game has kept me playing for so long! A big salute for you all! *pours out the champagne*
A birthday event was running yesterday which consisted of reading the clues and finding candles. The clues were quite simple and as a reward for finding them all I got the Vintage Apple. I used it on Attila and she is now a beautiful palomino Arabian of the old version! Nice one, Howrse. If only all events would be so easy! :P
I often have great ideas for blog posts, but they always tend to dissapear when I get here...so see you next time when I get some :D

Breeding farm updates
Good morning! Or good evening!
You are probably wondering how are my Haflingers, Shires and others. No? Well, I'll still inform you about it.
BLUPping is a slow thing. I am just basically training, training, training my Shires and Haflingers, checking the BLUP-o-meter or whatever it is and it goes. So. Slow. I think I just need patience :P I entered Sunshine in several comps but she came back with 2 bronze throphies and a bunch of 5th placings. So, not yet.
About Arabians: Seems like Blackbird's line is dying out. I have already begun selling mares whose at least 3 last offsprings I have been forced to sell because they are not good enough for me. These all happen to be from Balckbird's line. I haven't bred Blackbird herself anymore. Yes, her offsprings have very good inborn skills, but that is not enough for me. I need them also to have a high GP. But if you would like an Arabian foal from her, feel free to mail me. You may choose the stallion ;) Rest assured, I am not gonna sell her, cause she still brings home golden throphies from the competition tracks. Amarita's line, in the other hand, is doing really well. All her offsprings are mine and so are her offsprings' offsprings.
My Trakehners have suddeny soared to the 2000+ GP skies. Best ones have about 2200 GP right now. And that means I will be selling foals with a GP below it, which means get ready to buy these lovely folks c:
That's it for this time! See you!

In today's Yay or Nay...
The Great Challenge: Legendary horses.
Cons:
- Bonuses for the next festivities!
- If you feel bored, you can read a story about a Legendary horse.
- Missions are moderately easy. While doing your everyday stuff, you may automatically have completed them.
- If you are stuck with a mission, you may ask help from the community.
- You can help the community with missions and in turn you receive lottery tickets.
Pros:
- Getting the Divine means spending passes(real money).
- You have to pay a fair amount of equus if you want somebody to help you complete a mission.
- Only several missions have the help option.
- In order to get all the bonuses, you have to be online everyday and complete all the missions.
The verdict:
This event is quite easy and a great way to spend time. Though you may not get the Divine(unless you are a pass millionaire), you have a big chance to get other great items. This is a Win.That's it for this time! See you!

1000 days on Howrse!
Today I reached the thousand. It came faster than I expected. Unbelievable, I've been playing Howrse for so long! And today, in honor of this day, I dedicate my blog post to history! I will tell you all about how did I find this game and how and when did it all start. Sit back and enjoy c;
On my profile, the registration day is 2011-03-15, which means I've been playing for a little more than four years. I would make it 5, because I had one account before it...
I remember when I started horse riding, I wanted to play all kinds of virtual horse games online too. So I spent days searching for them, making accounts and playing. My first serious play was on A Virtual Horse. I still have an account there, I last visited it a year ago :P It just is a tad too time consuming game in my opinion. At that time, it was 2010(if I remember right), I also found Howrse. I wanted to give it a go and made an account, as I had done with all of the appealing horse games out there.
When I registered, the game looked like this:

I don't remember almost anything from this time, I did have a palomino foal, cause, well, I still adore yellow horses :D I played it like a few days and then quit. I just got tired, like with many other games at that time.
A year later I somehow came back to that game, I just wanted to play again. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the information of my first account and I created a new one. I have always struggled with usernames for my accounts and this time was no different. I did remember that a girl had a username HorseFreak on AVH and I decided to give it a go. It was taken, but it didn't take me long to come up with BigHorseFreak. And my account was born!
The site had gone through some major changes and horses had new looks too, remember these?

My first horse was a palomino overo Paint mare, who I named Reptos. When she reached 25 years, her health started decreasing, but I didn't know why did it happen at that time and I tought she was sick :P So I just sent her to Safe Haven to "end her pains". I regret it now and would still like to own my first horse. But I still always stroke her in the Safe Haven when she shows up, a good thing Howrse made this possible :)
My second horse was a Paint stallion named Lucky Strike, who I was forced to sell, because when you start out, it is easy to get low on budget. Suprisingly, he is still alive, name Lightning Dreams and owned by hockeyborch00. It's a great thing you haven't sent him to SH!
Throughout these years I have bred Irish Hunters, Shagya Arabians, Nokotas, and PSHs. I've also made stupid decisions as a beginner: I remember selling some RCs with 2000 equus! Holy moly! If I would have known better, I would right now probably still have them, as I usually give Philosopher's Stone to all my RCs.
And so has time passed with several pauses. I started this blog out quite early too, if I read old posts, I was breeding Irish Hunters back then, and I remember they were the first breed I bred seriously.
Here I want to thank people who have helped me even a tiny little bit in all those years. I know I have rarely asked for help, but still, are replies are appreciated. There have been people who have mailed me just congratulating how far I've made in this game. Big thanks to you too!
And now a one last funny story:
I clearly remember getting Jade, my first and only Divine. It was a stormy winter evening and the promotion for Jade in Horns of Plenty was on, and as always, I wanted to give it a go! I bought one, opened it and there was...Jade! And boom! The electricity shut down at the very next moment. What a perfect timing! I was just getting excited! It was quite a hard snowstorm outside and the electricity was down for two hours. When I returned next day, Jade was already in my stable. I remember being very frustrated all that evening because I couldn't go and see her!
Thanks for reading! I hope I'll last for another 1000 days and more!
Sincerely yours,
BHF

Colorful text! Yay!
Hey there! More weeks have passed by and I am now a year older and have a summer job...oh no, I have not forgotten Howrse and am happy to tell you what has happened this month :)
About Haflingers and Shires...I decided to start BLUPping them, so far I haven't kept track of it on any of my horses. I read some articles on the internet about how to do it and started trying. I couldn't resist the temptation and bred LM Sunshine twice...and got two colts. Daffy remains "untouched". I won't breed them before they reach 90 BLUP at least.
I decided to start a new series called Yay or Nay? So basically, it is me judging events on Howrse. I will bring out the best and the worst in each event and then summarize it, is this event worth playing or not. These are mostly my personal opinions and may differ from yours, so please respect it :)
Yay, I love the colors! You can comment below what do you think of it :P
Anyways, see you around!

The Water Balloon Fight
Cons:
- Free gifts from your friends!
- Possible rewards!
- Even if you throw only a few balloons, you have almost a 100% chance of getting a small reward.
Pros:
- You can only throw a ball when you catch an UFO and that doesn't happen so often.
- Getting the best rewards and Divines is almost impossible and may require hours of time spent online.
- There is always a chance that your friends may not throw any balloons at you.
The verdict:
It is almost impossible to get any impressive prizes easily, but if you love to receive small gifts and give them to your friends, then this is your game :) This is a Tie.Yay, I love the colors! You can comment below what do you think of it :P
Anyways, see you around!

Shire horses
Yet again, a new breed on Howrse, the Shire this time. And guess what? I got one filly from the summer ride. Why not Shires too next to Haflingers? I can keep them in the same stable...
Some time ago I bought a 5th element from the promotion and Noble Courage is now amongst Dream Horses as an air element horse. Phew, luckily not water again this time :P
Also, last crossbreds are up for auctions! Go get them! I also have a bunch of Arabian foals on auctions. Bid or mail me!
Sorry for it being so short this time, of course I can write a romance about each of the topics, but my mom wants me to scrub the windows clean now...
See ya!

The Grand Prix
How has your summer gone so far? I've had ups and downs. I managed to fall ill for the first time ever in summer. I've never been ill in summers before. Blame the bad weathers of Estonia :/
The good old board game event is again on Howrse. I don't even want to try to get that divine. I'll just move towards the gifts. So far I have gathered only aging points and equus.
And now to the title theme. I rarely participate in the Grand Prix competitions, but lately I have started to enter my best horse Amarita in these and she is doing fairly good. For example, this Monday in the trot race she placed 1504 among 4325 contestants. We're quite at the top :3
Amarita has been my dear one since I bought her. She gives really good offsprings and I am willing to spend more money on her. She excels in every disclipine and has got dozens of trophies. I didn't breed her, but I raised her and I feel proud :3
The poll has ended and no one voted...it must mean that you either don't care or you like my blog the way it is. Well then, I'll just continue it the same way as I have done so far.
I am putting my last crossbreds up for auctions but you may still mail me with your offers and reservations.
Thanks for stopping by!
Sincerely your

Decisions have been made!
Yes, I made up my mind about Haflingers. I decided to start breeding them :) I am now selling all my crossbreds, only keeping pregnant mares. I will sell them after they have their foals just to be sure I won't be selling 4000 GP foals with them.
So they all are on direct sales and some for auctions. Mail me for reservations and offers!
As soon as I have sold them all, I will delete the "Dream Horses" stable and move the residents to "Other horses," so I can create a stable for Haflingers. Would love to have some breeding partners, mail me if interested :)
