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!

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!

Think before you bid!

Pinatas are gone. I am so sad. I cri evritim. I made it to 11th pinata and I was hoping I would get the divine...lol nah!

Twitter started off great, but it's been quiet...okay, I confess I am lazy! And I usually just roll over Howrse quickly and don't have any time for tweeting. I tought this place would be great for small announcements from now on.

I organised a small comp on my EC. Go and check it out in the forum!

Let's get to the main part now. I have started checking on some horses lately that I have sold. I was quite dissapointed to see the latest two failed Hannoverian unicorns were put to safe haven almost immediately. I don't understand...why bid on a horse you don't actually need? There are people out there who would want one, but you just dump them away. May be I am overreacting, but hey, I don't only care about the money, I always put them up for sale hoping they will have great new homes. To be honest, I almost never use SH. I use it only when there is nothing else left to do. I use it when I have tried to sell a horse I don't need for a long time and I just can't keep it.

People, please have more respect in them. I know it is just a game, but I think I am not the only user who sometimes loves to check if horses they bred have accomplished something. Please THINK before you bid or buy. I do that everytime I buy a horse. And those who I have bought, have always found a good home.

Thank you for reading!
