Let's get into your minds!

First off, a moment of silence for Emperor's last day with us...

I am getting a pass soon! Lol how evil :D


I have many Arabian foals I don't need up for auction. Go check them out at Arabian horses tab. Bid or mail me for reservations.

And today I'll share you some tips :)

This time it's something more pshychological. I am sure we all have been at that point in the game where you just want to give up because you will never get those GP wins, number one ranking or divines. I've had these points too. But you see, I have never given up. If I get that feel, I close Howrse and/or my laptop and go and do something else that gets my mind off this game for a while.

 It is really hard job to reach the top, nobody has ever gone there with just a snap. There is years of work behind it. And think it trough: do you really want to be on the top? Of course it feels good to be the best, but you will face full mail box with fanmails, questions and may be some insults(some can go very low) every time you log in. Answering and reading them takes all night! Also, going to the top means owning thousands of horses, taking care of them all is a task that needs a lot of time and patience. Needless to say, you also have to spend real money because of all the passes and stuff.

May be you realise, that going for the top at any cost isn't for you. You are happy as an average level user. Remember, what ever happens, please don't go and insult the best ones. I've seen and even used myself banners that criticise best users. I regret it. Please don't you do that, because if you'll one day may be reach the top, you don't want to be treated the same way, do you?

I gave my best, so don't be mad if (you think) I am talking bullshit :P

Thank you for your attention!

Titan's challenge

Sorry for not posting. I am always very busy in school time.

Today I tried the Titan's challenge for the first time ever. It is possible to win Dew from there right now. On my first try, the prizes(Haromy pack, 5th element...) got only sweeter with each level and I kept clicking the next level button. I ended up with Poseidon's pack and a bunch of basic items...I didn't want to give up so easy, so since I had a lot of diamonds I bought a second one. This time I stopped at level 5. Not so good prices as before, but at least I got the 5th element too this time. I used it on Spectra and she got water element, that Amarita already has *shrug*

One of my Uni's had a failed uni birth today and that little filly Dancer is up for auction, starting price 1000 equus. She is a purebred Hannoverian and has inborn skills. I also got an Arabian filly, who I don't need. She is also up for auction with the same price, the name is Belle. Go bid or mail me.

Sincerely,
BHF

*Insert a fab title*

It's been a very busy first week of school after the holidays. Haven't had time to post my progress on Howrse, my apoligies. But let's get to the thing now...

Last Arabian auctions were successful and I sold all three. This time I have one stallion named Biscuit and two mares Bellini and Andromeda up for auction! Go bid or mail me for a reservation!

Today Hestia's Gift unicorn was born! It is a chestnut filly(YAS!). I named her Serenade c:

Snowball fight has started! Friend me and I'll send you at least one snowball. You'll send me one too, right, right? c:

That's all for this time!

See you around!

Magic Ride luck

I haven't gotten very far in the magic ride, but today I got an Elven gift. And guess what was inside this? Hestia's gift! Yay! I gave it to Promenade, now I am going to get another uni :3

Another triple of Arabians went for auction today. Last time Best Boy and Blopping Rain didn't get any bids, so they are up again with lower starting prices. New one is Bonita, a 5% cherry bay coat mare. She is breedable right away. Her starting price is 1000 equus. Bid or mail me!

Sincerely your
BHF

New year with a few tips

First of all, I wanna wish you all out there happy new year and may it be better than ever!


I am sure everybody has faced that problem at least once in Howrse: what name to give a horse? When I started out, this was quite a problem for me and some horses got really weird names. (Remember the PSHs? Some of them had names that didn't make any sense at all!) But now I have gained knowledge and worked out some systems and I am glad to share them with you.

When I returned to Howrse last year(2014, cause it's 2015 now, remember? :P), I had learned about how they name horses in real life. This method differs in almost every breed. In Europe, most warmblood breeds' names start with their sire's name's first letter. One exception, that I know is with the Trakehner breed. Their names start with their dam's name's first letter. The same rule goes with Arabians. I use that system with my purebred Trakehners and Arabians in the game. This system doesn't count on crossbred horses. I don't know about other horse breeds, but in the game I use the European warmbloods rule with them.

This rule seems so simple and at first you may burst with many name ideas, but eventually there comes a point where you are out of ideas. That's when I use this site:

  http://www.horses-and-horse-information.com/horsenames/a.shtml

On this site are many horse names, you just pick the letter and you get a huge list of names. This place has always helped me out.

I may be wrong and I don't know much about naming Thoroughbreds, but I have noticed that there are almost no rules in naming them. For example, let's say that the sire's name is Black Racer and dam is Little Princess. Sometimes the offspring's name is a combination of it's parents'(like Black Princess or Little Racer), and sometimes the name is something completely different, that hasn't anything to do with it's parents' name. This is according to my researches and from what I have seen, please correct me if I am wrong.


I hope this helps you out a littlebit at least :)

And one more thing: I am willing to sell my GA horse Naughty One. He is a purebred Lusitano stallion. He has the kind of GA coat that can't be used with Helios' Ray, so I think it is rare. Mail me and make your offer! You can visit him in the Golden Apple Horses stable, he is the first there.
