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!

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!

Halloween fun!

Happy Halloween everyone! I have a lot to tell you today c: So while you are not carving your pumpkins, take a look at these...


I've been spending my passes. First I bought the seal of Apocalypse and put it on Amarita. I really wanted Pestilentia, but got Bellum instead. That sucks, I always get the smallest bonuses. Actually, since Amarita is a comp horse, that skill bonus won't do bad c: Right now the Magic Hat promotion is on and that's how I am left with one pass right now :D I put it on Amaretto and got evil witch! Watch out, when you join a competition with Amaretto, he'll give you three penalty points! Mwahahaha! lol :D

Trakehners have reached the 3000 GP line and some have already broken the 4000 line. Of course I breed my mares to the best ones, I really hope some 3000s come out there! Fingers crossed!

How's things with Fusion, the GP prospect? Not as I expected. He excels at trot races and truly, has brought me home many throphies, but he is always in top 2000 in Grand Prix...Gotta train him more! I know, that one day we will get that 500...

 In today's yay or nay...

Trick or Treat

Cons:

• Possible to win lots of prizes!
• You can read the story of Buchephalus, when you are bored.
• If you are out of treats, you can buy them from flash sales.
• Simple and fun, the latter for young audience mostly.

Pros:

• If you want to get more treats, you have to spend passes.
• Flash sales treats are expensive.
• Children may play a trick on you if you don't give them (right) treats.
• The progress is slow, if you don't use passes or spend equus, you will not get the divine.
• At one point, kids will start to pile up and you may not have enough treats.

 The verdict:
The game is really simple, but requires lots of money and passes if you want to aim for the divine and bigger prizes. This is a loss.


Yes, I was not so lazy this time and made a yay or nay, so please enjoy! :)

Happy trick or treating!

Grand Prix prospect

Heya! It's been a while again and I have quite a bunch of stuff to tell you about!

I have made a decision: If I want to get better results, I shall breed better horses and better horses don't come from mares that have a BLUP below 0. So I decided, that I won't breed my mares if their BLUP is negative. I'll wait if it turns positive. I will try that and see if I get better foals outta my mares.

I got my Arabian coats trophy! Hooray!

Pinatas are back! Yay! I am already on my third pinata, how about you? And as always, click my pinata please! c: I will try and click everyone's pinatas I happen to spot at the friends section. Fell free to friend me for pinata clicks! :)

And the fourth one is the most exciting news! Well, at least for me. I have been entering Amarita and Blackbird in Grand Prix comps for several weeks and I am pleased with them: both have managed to stay at the top 1000 and 2000. But we can always go better, right? c: So I looked at some of the winners' stats and decided to buy myself a future champion! And I found just the right one from the sales: Fusion, a pretty cherry bay KWPN gelding, 5000+ GP and 400+ stars! He was just 8000 equus(honestly, I expected them to cost more!). This is my first 5000+ GP horse! So I put all my bonus packs, Poseidon's packs and other stuff on him, if you want the best, you have to give him the best! With just half an hour he was fully trained and straight away won his first competition. That's my champ! :D I trained him another few days and today I entered him to the GP! Thumbs up and let's hope he will make it to top 500! That's my first goal! Will keep you updated on Twitter! :)

That's all for today! See you at the pinata party! :)

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:

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!

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
BHF

The Maze Runner

A new kind of event has started, the maze. The concept is actually really interesting and I enjoy it. Amarita is my trustworthy pal on this road c: So far I have got a bridle and a fertility wand. With Amarita the energy recovers 5% with every hour, enough for it to fully recover in 24 hours, so I don't have to check this place like every hour. This time Howrse has hit the spot!

I am happy to announce that today a Trakehner foal was born with 2000+ GP! Wohooo! I did it! It came faster than I expected! So from now on I will be selling all foals who are born with less than 2000 GP. Keep an eye out if you want one of them! I will sell them through direct sales. Oh and the foal is palomino, so darn cute c:

Wishing you a happy day and good luck in the maze!
