New personal heights!

Hello from the other side!

I must have called a thousand times...and I finally came! Another two months have passed as fast as a flying eagle! School has begun and life has gone busy, plus trainings, plus driving school...I have so much to do! In the other hand tho, I have many updates to tell you about! Ready? Set. Go!

My Arabians broke the 5000GP border! I already have 5 foals with 5000+GP! They are Amulet, Amazon, Nevada, Artaria, and, born today, Avada. It's a delight to see how long way my Arabians have come! If I remember right, I begun with Blackbird, whose GP is 1334 and it took me 3 years to get here! Well, it's a long time, but I've had many months off the game too, ya know. Anyways, I am already working towards 6000, which should be a good Grand Prix horse's GP ;)

Also, I've managed to complete my Arabian coats collection! I won't stop breeding them tho! I've come so far and I have already spent so much resources on them, I don't wanna stop here :)

After several years, at long last, Wandering horses event returned in September and of course I was eager to take part. I managed to have 8 of them to visit me. They all had very high skills, over 10 000GP. However, not all of them gave me tons of wins. The best one I had was Red Admiral, because she won me my first ever rosette! I was so delighted to see that a horse that I bred won a rosette! Here are some picture proofs, I am not bluffing :P

Thanks to Red Admiral I currently have two rosette trophies too, but unfortunately, they won't last long, unless I win another rosette.

Also, I bred my first 6000+GP horse! Capricorn gave me Cadillac, a future star! I do hope she'll serve me well!

That's all for this time! I hope I'll come back here soon :P

See you!

10 000 views!

Good evening, dear Howrsers!

Yes, we have 10 000 views! Thank you everyone who has contributed and takes time to read my blog! Ah yes, now we can cut the cake...

Hellboy has finished his first week at GP! No new records and nothing impressive, but here are the results:

Cross-country: 1651st
Trot race: 1070th
Show jumping: 963rd BEST!
Dressage: 1156th
Gallop race: 1345th

As you see, he was the best at show jumping and I decided to start sending him to SJ competitions from now on, instead cross-country. And he got several 1st placings already, so I think I made the right decision :)

My overall placing for this week's GP is 328th. I don't remember if I've had better placings or not, but this one is pretty good actually, isn't it?

Today, Kept Secret gave birth to her first offspring! It's a crossbred Lusitano colt, 5469.22 GP, with a fab name: The Whiskey Bandit c: Inborn skills 1104.78, this colt is pure joy! I hope he will serve well for me in the future! *fingers crossed*

That's it for this time, I hope to see you here next time also c:

Thrills and spills

Hello dear howrsers!

My summer has been a  jam packed one, I've even had a two week hiatus from Howrse, because my laptop broke down :( Now they are fixing it and I have a old PC for use that is almost as old as me lol, but works like clockwork! Talking about age, I celebrated my 18th birthday recently! So, bear in mind that when you want to message me, kids, you are talking with an (not-so)adult :P

Tanya has given me one more skiller: Ravensdale. He is her last foal, because Tanya's health is already decreasing and I don't want to risk losing foals. But Kept Secret is in foal for the first time! I bred her with best available horse(a purebred Lusitano) on Howrse and let's see what comes out! c:

Opal has turned out to be a superb trail class horse! He always comes back with golden throphies! I hope that one day, when I have skilled him enough, he will earn me a rosette or two c: #bhfdreams

A skiller that I once bought, Triton, has been standing in my stable doing nothing. I have tried to sell him, but my prices seem to be too high oops. Anyways, he is available, just mail me with an offer!

The maze event is back, but this time it's simpler: you can move more than ever before and instead of one maze there are many small mazes with prizes at the end of each. I am currently aiming for the new Drum horse c: I even found a vintage Apple and used it on Fine Design, who is now a flaxen chestnut Akhal-Teke of the old version c:

It's Hellboy's first week at the Grand Prix! Fingers crossed everyone! I hope he does well and manages to break my personal placing records! Current record is 720-something held by Fusion at trot race.

I have nothing else to write currently, but you can check out some horses with new coats I have managed to put on c: See them yourself ---> Fine Design, Taeyon, Attila(Ow's Helios' ray background).

See ya!
BHF

BHF is you ded??

Holy moly, it's been 2 months already! Phew! I am sorry for being away for so long, I had a though last period in school, but now it is officially over and the summer holidays are here! Weeheee! More time for blog! I've always had time for Howrse and I'll tell you what has happened c:

Tanya is retired and is currently "working" as a broodmare and besides Capricorn, she has given me 4 more future Grand Prix horses: mares Mrs. Dalloway and Fine Desing, and stallions Fair Play and Taeyon. They all look promising and I am in the middle of training them. Capricorn is doing nicely in comps and seems to exceed the most in cross country.

I wasted some money and bought a new skiller: Hellboy, a purebred KWPN stallion. I have already fully trained him and he has started competing. I also gave him a Golden Apple today that should soon retire c:

Btw, from now on, all my GP horses will have an Apollo's Lyre.

Currently, Pinata event is on and I am just playing and walking along, I won't get anything because I don't want to waste my passes c: Click onto my pinata and I'll click yours! In these two months a board game event has also been on, but I didn't earn anything special from there, so no news here...

But today, BHF made history...the Golden Fleece promotion is on and when I scratched it...*tears of happyness* I got Opal! It took me five years after Jade to get a divine! Yass, thank you lord of luck, I had already lost faith in you! But I have to admit he is kind of not so great, because I basically only have a bigger chance to get diamonds when I feed him carrots and that's just about it. At least I can add him skills using diamonds, this thing is pretty interesting, but it also means I will waste more diamonds and have less for promotions. Oh well, it's a two sided thing, like every good thing in this world. And a little picture proof for you too c:

This is it for this time, I hope I'll see you guys again soon :P

Great horses for 1000? Yes please!

Hiya, fellow Howrse breeders!

Last week has brought excellent warm and sunny weathers to my place and I can't help but just hang around outside. This is what real spring is like! Despite this I am still sitting with Howrse in the evenings, oh no, you can't get ride of me so easily... ;3

You know that button, where you can switch off the equestrian centers' letters? Well, I have never switched it off and now it finally paid off! One center's owner was quitting and she sent the boarders of her center an absolute best deal: she was selling off all her horses with 1000 equus, no matter their value. And as fast as a bolt I asked her to reserve two horses for me and here they are: Silver Cosette and Macbeth! Both have GA coats, Cosette's coat is retired! Both have also won rosettes and have a ton of BM items. I wouldn't say I reached the absolute gold mine, because they both don't have the skills needed to win rosettes today anymore, but this is something that a gold mine would look like if they had higher skills :P They are doing well and winning competitions and both are immortal. I think it was a great deal, because, honestly, when did you last get a immortal RC rosette winner for 1000??

Kept Secret has been bolded and is trying out the GP this week. She is far from a great potential, but at least I get a few bucks from this :P Will let you know how she did!

I started playing early this morning and when I left for five minutes and came back, a new event had started and it is...the cards! Yay! My fave event! Puzzles have very juicy rewards this time, but this also made me doubt: will they be hard to get? If I could at least have that Bonus pack, I would be a happy camper, so I hope that this time my work without passes is gonna pay off.

And to the final point, some pics of my new horses and their stats c:

Silver Cosette

She has a Nyx pack and coat has 316 copies left.
Macbeth. I caught the bolt animation lol :D

11 rosettes, but what surprises me is that he doesn't have Poseidon's pack.

 I hope you liked this post, see you soon!

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!

Short GP update

Hey hey!

Valentines day is approaching fast and what are you planning to do on this lovey-dovey day? Well, I am planning to eat pizza and play Howrse. Single life rules! But let's see what has happened on Howrse...

I entered Tanya into Grand Prix every day durning this week, here are the results. I will also add other horses' results:

Cross-country:
Tanya 889th

Trot race:
Fusion 773rd(New record!)
Tanya 1773rd

Show jumping:
Tanya 1507th

Dressage:
Tanya 1413rd

Gallop race:
Tanya 1634th

To summarize it up, she was best in cross country, which is actually quite surprising, because in non-GP competitions she is best at gallop and trot races. But I'll try again next week and may be enter Fusion too in all disclipines. Since I participated every day in GP this week, I also got placed in the overall board. I was 350th and I am pleased with the result c:

I am sorry, guys, but this is it for this time, I am so tired today that I just don't have any energy left to type...
See you next time!

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!
BHF 

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!
BHF

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!
BHF 

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! :)
