A bit about inbreeding

Hey!

It's been weeks again! It's just I don't really want to write here when I don't have "the pegasus" with me, otherwise the posts would have no spark in them :P So here we go...

Treasure Hunt began and yet again a big sigh when I saw the event. Again years of searching when I don't know the meaning of the word...why am I whining? Because actually I am enjoying that event. Somehow, one part of me finds this interesting. I would actually give this event 8/10, when Howrse releases the poll.

I have reached another big goal: my Trakehners reached 3000 GP! First one to be born with that number was Eiffel, he was followed by Enderman and Extraordinary, the latter already has 3300! Next goal is 4000 and I hope I will get there as fast as I reached 3000!

Now about a little mishap that happened to me...incest is kind of acceptable on Howrse, meaning that if you breed horses related to each other, it will not affect them in any different way than breeding non-related horses. I, however, still never breed closely related horses, so basically, none of my horses can't breed with each other because they descend from one mare.(E.g, all my Trakehners descend from Ebony, Tennessee Walkers from Garnet and so on. I won't breed e.g Trakehners with walkers, because they are of different breeds and I want to keep them pure. I hope you got it xD) But out of my own absent-mindedness I bred my uni Kismet to his own father Kiss Em and Leave Em and didn't notice until the very end of her pregnancy. Fortunately, the foal wasn't a uni, so I put him into SH. I don't really want to keep an inbred horse around, he wasn't a high skilled horse or anything special. RIP Kenny :c

I often see GP breeders inbreeding to get winners and it seems to work. Even my best horses that I haven't bred have been inbred, for example Amarita. Here I encourage you to comment your opinions about this topic, I am very intrigued to know them :)

My EC giveaway has been extended until the end of April, so feel free to enter! And don't forget to share the banner, posting it here once more, just in case :P

That's just about it! See you next time!

My finest horses!

Hello!

I can already smell the spring in the air here and I am eagerly waiting for summer...as we all do I hope! But let's get to the point...

The Championship. They brought it back. I shrugged out loud when I saw it. But actually, this time I am playing it. I like that they added many different mini games for getting bonuses and basically this keeps me going. I have done my choices visely and I have got much more 1st placings this time. I would give it a 5/10.

I extended my EC giveaway registration time! If you haven't already, go and register for your chance to win amazing prizes! You've got nothing to lose!

This time I decided to present you with *drum roll* BigHorseFreak's finest! Here, I will introduce you my best horses and their achievements! Here will be listed horses that I currently own, I don't count in horses who have passed. Hope you like it c:

 Best stud:

GreyAbstract

He was my first Shagya Arabian foal. I still love his GA coat and when it went retired, I made him immortal. He has been offering coverings throughout his life. He has had 132 coverings and counting! None of the stallions I've had have ever met so many mares lol :P

Best broodmare:

Blackbird

I bought this near purebred Arabian mare from another breeder. She had already produced a bunch of foals and was trained when I got her. She still continues to be an amazing competitior. She produced great foals, but since the skills have gone higher I have no longer bred her, because she can't give foals with high skills anymore. She has had 29 coverings, but has more offsprings, because of some twins she has given birth to.

Best competitor:

Blackbird

This title also goes out for Blackbird, based on 1st placings. I have several other great competitors, but since this mare is immortal and still wins, she has the most winnings so far and counting :) She has won 168 times.

Best Grand Prix horse:

Fusion

I have just recently started concentrating on GP, but so far the best has been this purebred KWPN stallion, not bred by me. He goes best in trot races and his best placing in GP is 700-something. He still is in a fair age and I hope he has what it takes to climb higher.

So this is it for this time! See you soon!
