Sad vs. happy

Good evening fellow Howrsers!

Today was a bit of a frustration day to me. Sometimes, we all have them, don't we? But I also had some positive stuff too, so no reason to get depressed here! Read on to find out c:

I was just randomly checking some crossbreds I had bred and sold on and discovered this...
(Click on the pictures for a bigger version)

 Nice to see that my pwetty Terra Cota is being taken care of nicely c:

Hang on...

See this? 312 wins in dressage! Oh my god! I've sold a complete champion! Oh why, BHF, WHYY?! Let's say I don't have the eye for the champions, but I am pretty sure that it is almost impossible for anyone to tell if a horse is going to be a great-ass competitor or not. At the end, I am actually over the moon that I have managed to breed such an amazing horse! I think I have not done it before, so wohooo! :D

Oh and Terra Cota is daughter of Spectra, my retired throphy horse!

Second thing that frustrated me today was the Titan's challenge. I paid 20 diamonds for this and failed at level 3 to only receive a Helios Ray. And I was there like... 

 Why did I even bother?

Now, off to the happier news :P Fusion set a new record in the Grand Prix! He finished 822th this Tuesday in trot race! I have lately taken him to rides only to get more skills and seems like it helps! Another step closer to 500! (Though I doubt he will ever reach that point, I may need a better horse)

Amarita's first offsprings have completed training and have drifted off to competitions world! I have to admit, they do really well, just like their mother! I am especially proud of Alexander, who has proved to be Amarita's best offspring so far! I hope they all will be as or even more amazing!

That's it for today! I planned to do a Yay or Nay on the Maze event but...next time, please? :D

Anyways, have a good day!

Throphy horse madness!

Hey there!

Phew, it's been quite a while! I've had great christmas and new years! How about you? I sure hope yours were great aswell! :) Anyways, let's get back to Howrse business...

I have developed a throphy horse madness, cause I have bred another potential throphy horse! I had Spectra, a crossbred mare, who is now retired, but was a good throphy horse once and I thought, why not get a horse of the same caliber out of her before she dies? To be honest, when I still bred crossbreds, she was one of my best mares and all her offsprings were great, but I sold them. Now, I bred her with a stud, who had the highest GP on the breeding list. The outcome is a KWPN cross mare Kept Secret with 4239.07 GP, over 100 inborn skills and 366 stars. She has just started training and my hopes are high!

A little update on my other throphy hunters: Fusion is either 912th or 911th on Grand Prix, no other placings really :P I think he doesn't really have the things needed to go higher, but still, he brings in throphies and now wears a vintage apple coat of the Howrse old version's dun Marwari c: Tanya has started competing. She excels in all disclipines, but is better in galloping and trotting races. To be honest, she catches first places better than Fusion. I still haven't worked out her "best of best" disclipine with what we could go to the Grand Prix, but she may also just participate in them all c:

Tree expedition ended a while ago, but let me tell you that I didn't get neither of the divines I had the chance of getting. That is quite frustrating, because I have never been so close to getting them before. But oh well, I'll keep trying! Today started The Maze and my first thought was: not again! x.x Although, they have made it a little easier this time. But I'll give my best to not spend passes and diamonds there :P Amarita is my companion on this journey, I hope we'll do well!

Tree Expedition news

Hello my fellow Howrsers!

I have one day left for school and then...holidays and christmas! Yay! I've got nearly 3 weeks of holidays ahead! What a bless! But let's see what's happening on Howrse...

Another uni foal! Woop woop! Promenade gave birth to filly Narcissa. She's in the other horses stable.

Tree expedition is going slow but it is moving. I was pretty surprised when Tanya and Fusion came back from a long trip with a tree that's prize is...the divine horse Balios. Erm...shouldn't I be getting them from very long trips? May be it's a surprise from Howrse, but I really don't care, cause right now I am just a plenty of ornaments away from getting my second ever divine. So close, yet so far. I am pretty sure I won't get him, but I will not lose hope and try my best without buying all these passes!

Also, I finally completed the first tree and got a Percheron mare. Well, why not start breeding them too! :D I renamed the Haflingers and Shires stable to From foundations, will keep and breed there horses who's foundations I own. I also happened to get another foundation Percheron mare from a friend who didn't need her. So now I have here two Percheron foundations, I gave them long snazzy names: Londonderry Beauty and Super Hot Pepper c:

Fusion finished in 800-something in the trot race Grand Prix this week! He is doing better! Thumbs up and let's hope for 500 soon! Tanya is still in training, but now has fancy GA coat, background and name c:

In today's Yay or Nay...

The Tree Expedition

Pros:

• Possible to get prizes.
• You can choose wheter you want bigger or smaller prizes(longer or shorter expeditions).
• You can find ornaments in the Advent Calendar(see my earlier posts for a Yay or Nay!). 
• Not very time consuming.

Cons:

• Rarer ornaments are hard to find.
• Yet again, pass buyers have advantages.
• Ornaments are found at random, you may not always get the ornaments you need.
• You can't take care of your horses while they are on the find a tree trip.

The verdict:
The game is quite fun and not very time confusing, but requires work if you are determined to get the rewards and/or divines. This is a Tie.

That's it for this time! See ya!

Skillers!

Hi there!

I have completed another goal I have set for myself: I bred my first 4000 GP horse! She is little Arabian filly Avalanche, who has 4016.34 GP. But that's not it, just a few minutes ago, a second 4000 was born: filly Aliena has 4157.92 GP! It took me more than half a year to reach the heights, but I did it! Weeeee! Next goal: 5000!

Fusion has done a great job, but lately has dropped in Grand Prix results. And out of nowhere, I wanted another skiller. I found Tanya the Gypsy Vanner mare, who has 5209.71 GP, that is higher than Fusion's. I will start training her and we'll see what comes out, will keep you updated ;) Since she is a mare, I also have the chance to breed her for more skillers.

The Tree Expedition is a new event that has appeared next to Advent Calendar. You basically have to decorate christmas trees, you can find ornaments when winning comps with your horses etc. This event is still a little messy for me, especially the find a tree part, so I need to play it more before I can do a Yay or Nay :P

Also, I have changed the blog's look a little. Now it's more Howrsey, what do you think about it? c:

That's it for today! Thanks for reading!

Great news from every side!

Hello there Howrsers!

Squeeee it's December and it means christmas! Are you guys already opening the windows of your advent calendars? Well, I am :D Love to get the little surprises from behind them, mine is modelhorse themed cx

Over the last few days we have reached 8000 visits! Thank you everyone! So you want a cake or something? Nah, this stuff comes at 10 000, so keep visiting :P

Remember, I was excited when I produced a 2300 GP Trakehner? Well, that's past now, cause the new boss in the Trakehners' court is Erebor, a colt with 2800 GP! My Trakehners love to surprise me and instead of slowly increasing the upper GP limit, they skip a few hundred at a time. Oh these little cuties *cuddle* c:

Also, a new event is on Howrse, but this Yay or Nay should summarise my opinion about it c:

Also, I found out that actually pros are supposed to be green and cons red...oh silly me! Still need to learn English :P

In today's Yay or Nay...

The Advent Calendar

Pros:

• Finally, an event without the head starts for pass millionaires!
• The simplest game ever made: you just have to click a window once a day.
• Free items guaranteed once every day!
• No need to hussle around with always something to do, you can calmly concentrate on your usual Howrsing.

Cons:

• If you miss a day and still wish to receive the prize, you have to pay 10 000 equus.

The verdict:
This is ironically the best event Howrse has ever made! Really simple and doesn't suck up your time plus no work needed to get free items! This is a yay!

Thanks for reading!
See you!

Double the unicorns!

Hey guys! I have some great news! After months of unicorn drought, I managed to get 2 unicorn babies at once! These cuties are colt Kontador and filly Kismet. Kontador came first and I at first changed his gender cause I wanted a mare and I was pretty sure that the other foal was going to be a uni fail, but Serenade's foal turned out to be a filly and I reversed Kontador's gender again :P So happy for my uni foals c: All my unicorns are now in color collections stable, except Tranquil, because I already have a chestnut Hanoverian there.

How are things with World Championship? Let's say, I've never been so lazy with a Howrse event before in my life :D At first I always made sure all horses who enter have both bonuses but now I just throw them in :P And Fusion is only one who brings me wins. I really feel I could use a little break from events, but I need the items tho. I guess I just have to do something. In my opinion the best events are the lottery and cards, cause they are the easiest and require less work. Oh, BHF, why you so lazy suddenly? x.x

Anyways, thanks for reading!
See you in the game!

Hunting throphies!

Another blog post! Well, I've had more spare time cause teachers have not been so crazy with homeworks or I am just not so lazy anymore :P Anyways, I have some great stuff to tell ya about...

The World Championship! The game's concept is quite good, but...there are always "buts". Read more about them below from the Yay or Nay ;) Fusion, Shockwave and Euphoria(the latter two are my TWHs btw) are the only ones who have brought home first places so far. Amarita's best is a second place. There is no way I am spending passes for this shit(pardon for that, but really, Howrse has gone pass crazy over time with the events) so please encourage my horses! I will encourage all I happen to spot at the Help a friend section. Thanks! :)

I decided to breed Blackbird in hopes of getting a throphy horse. I bred her to the best available purebred Arabian stallion and the outcome is a beautiful black filly Basimah. 943.65 are her inborn skills, 3105.13 GP and 255 stars. I really hope she will be a good competitor one day! I used a Hera's pack so her identical twin sister Baseema is up for sale in the direct sales! Go get her, it's possible she may bring in many throphies in the future!

When I logged in today, I had a message from doglover21704 stating I was her 200th congratulator and had won a horse with 3* tack! The horse is a liver chestnut TB stallion named Apollo, 2345.32 GP. Of course I am keeping him, I love presents :3 He is in color collections stable as my first TB coat. Big thanks to doglover21704! I really appreciate this!

Winter is currently in Horns of plenty and I had two HOPs to spend! And of course, no Divine, the best prize I got was a bonus for the Grand Prix. Not so bad tho!

In today's Yay or Nay...

The World Championship

Cons:

• Competitions! They are always nerve wracking yet fun!
• Possible to win lots of prizes and a Divine horse!
• Preparation, that gives your horse bonuses, is really easy to acquire. Even if you fail, you can always try again.
• You can receive extra bonus when asking your friends.
•  You can help friends receive bonuses by encouraging their horses.
• You can buy tickets to receive bonuses immedealtly.
• The competitions won't affect your horses in any way: they won't gain skills and won't lose energy, health or morale.

 Pros:

• You have to pay if you want to ask bonuses from friends.
• Tickets have many benefits, but they cost passes.
• The progress is slow: you have to spend passes to have a chance of getting the Divine.
•  You can only enter six horses a day for the competitions for free.

The verdict:
The concept is quite interesting and will keep you entertained for a while, though the chance of getting the Divine and bigger prizes is really small. This is Yay.

That's all for this time! See you around!
