I joined a team!

*wipes the dust off blog*
It's been a while...yet again! I've just finished main exams and now I am having a few weeks break before the last one. I've still been on Howrse and I have a lot to write about c:

My Trakehners have reached 5000 GP! This came fast! Mares with positive blup give better offsprings and I always choose stallions with 100 blup. My current best Trake is El Habana with 5184.07 GP. Keep an eye on my sales and you might catch 5000 GP Trakes ;)

Meanwhile, there's been a Wandering horses event and I was determined to get all that I could. I got all except two I wanted, but that's okay. Overall, I added 8 wanderers to my list. You'll find a Yay or Nay below.

I have joined a team. It came unexpectedly, littlepinkmouse messaged me about her new Haflinger breeding team. I was hesitant: I am not up to blupping dozens of horses every day, I have a life outside computer too ya know. But she assured that they are laid back and this breed is anyway dead. So I joined. Within few weeks Österreichische Schönheit has reaced 2nd place in Haflingers team rankings, way to go! I haven't done anything yet for the team lol. I haven't had the time yet, but I one day will for sure!

In today's Yay or Nay...

The Wandering Horses

Pros

• You'll get free items with the horses.
• Horses are all fully trained and high skilled, will get you trophies or even rosettes!
• Possible to get a Divine horse.
• Feed them gems to earn more points.

Cons

• Some tasks might be too hard to complete by the end of the event.
• Compared to previous Wanderers' events, horses have lower skills.

The verdict
Although this event might be hard to complete for newbie players, at least one Wanderer is guaranteed for everyone opening the event. This is a Win.

And last but not least, some eye candy ;) Click the names below to see new coats of these horses.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned! I am planning a commentary for the next post... ;)

A late Halloween update

Good evening!

Zomg, I am over the moon right now because I passed my driving exam several hours ago and I can now officially conquer roads cx But enough about this, it's been a while again just beacuse I have been lazy...Halloween was like ages ago, but I still haven't updated you guys about my this year's halloween catch on Howrse, what a shame! So here ya go!

Thanks to the events I obtained one of each customisation Halloween BM item(except Magic Hat) and also, I bought the new Double-Sided Medallion. If you wanna see which horses got which coats, I have the links here c:

I also got a Hestia's gift thanks to the Halloween event and thanks to this, uni filly Majesty was born. I also won one in the next event, the cards, and twin uni fillies were born, named Sweet Girl and Semilly. Three horned beauties in a short time, woop woop!

My Trakehners reached 4000 GP! The first one to be born was Eagle's Heart with 4246.04 GP! It seems as if it was just yesterday when I bragged about my Trakes reaching 3000...I hope 5000 will come fast!

I haven't done a Yay or Nay for ages, so have one of the recent cards event!

In today's Yay or Nay...

The Celtic Cards 

Pros:

• Really easy: just scratch the cards and receive a prize.

• To earn the cards you don't need to do much work.

• You can get great BM items.

• You can buy cards from flash sales.

 Cons:

• If you want to trade a duplicate card, you need to pay.

• Even if you gather all the cards of the same color, they won't stop coming.

•  Diamond and gold cards are rather rare.

• Flash sales cards are very expensive and so are cards bought with passes.

The verdict:

The event is really easy and doesn't require almost no work at all to gain prizes, bt it has it's own disadvantages. This is a Tie.

That's all folks, have a nice day!

A delightful post!

Howdy, howdy, my dear howrsers!

I don't know why, but I feel so delighted today, I really have no reason: temperature is pretty warm outside, but there's no sign of sun. I guess it's because I had a blast last weekend with my friends on a little road trip. My weekends tend to go Howrse-free, but I am happy to return there on Mondays c: So, here's some things going on at BHF's (bigger than) small stable...

I got the Drum horse from the maze event, but it turned out to be a stallion...I still decided to keep him and buy a mare once their prices drop, so I could complete the color collection. This little nugget's name is Blake c:

I wasted some money on a skiller - again! But this time I bought a higher skilled Trakehner stallion for the days when there are no 5000+ GP coverings for my Trakehner mares, he could give me some great foals. The stallion's name is Gabriel and he is already fully trained and I gave him a Poseidon's pack(tbh it looks cool on him lol, I don't have any other non-GA horses with Poseidon's gear). I am guessing he is not much of a talent, because when I finished training he had about 3000 skills. I've managed to raise it to 4000 with competitions and rides, I am still halfway, but I hope he will reach 5000.

I decided that I will keep non-immortal GA horses only if their coats and backgrounds 'rock'. It means I will stop caring for them one day, but I won't sell them nor give them a Philospher's stone. This'll help me get the Golden Apple collection throphy and give lots of pretty horses to my stable c: Today, I sorted some out and safe from certain death are: Fiery Kid, Illusions, Midir, Blue Mamba, The City Back and Tanya. I also moved some old elementals and Bewitched Pumpkin horses there. I have many others I could move there, but they are still at a young age and can contribute to my breeding farm.

The Magic Potions event is currently on. Nothing impressive, nothing boring, it's kind of in-the-middle event imo. I'll just keep playing and see if I can get something exciting...

A little reminder for all of you there reading this! If you want to know right away when I have posted something new here, follow me on Twitter @myhowrse. Sometimes I may even bring up a few discussions there, so don't hesitate to reply and tell me about your opinions.

And last, but not least, a little eye candy for you c: I added some fancy backgrounds to some GA horses today, go and see them yourself --->Evana(Trakehners), Narcissa(From foundations)(This coat is my all time favorite!!)

See you next time!

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!

Great news from every side!

Hello there Howrsers!

Squeeee it's December and it means christmas! Are you guys already opening the windows of your advent calendars? Well, I am :D Love to get the little surprises from behind them, mine is modelhorse themed cx

Over the last few days we have reached 8000 visits! Thank you everyone! So you want a cake or something? Nah, this stuff comes at 10 000, so keep visiting :P

Remember, I was excited when I produced a 2300 GP Trakehner? Well, that's past now, cause the new boss in the Trakehners' court is Erebor, a colt with 2800 GP! My Trakehners love to surprise me and instead of slowly increasing the upper GP limit, they skip a few hundred at a time. Oh these little cuties *cuddle* c:

Also, a new event is on Howrse, but this Yay or Nay should summarise my opinion about it c:

Also, I found out that actually pros are supposed to be green and cons red...oh silly me! Still need to learn English :P

In today's Yay or Nay...

The Advent Calendar

Pros:

• Finally, an event without the head starts for pass millionaires!
• The simplest game ever made: you just have to click a window once a day.
• Free items guaranteed once every day!
• No need to hussle around with always something to do, you can calmly concentrate on your usual Howrsing.

Cons:

• If you miss a day and still wish to receive the prize, you have to pay 10 000 equus.

The verdict:
This is ironically the best event Howrse has ever made! Really simple and doesn't suck up your time plus no work needed to get free items! This is a yay!

Thanks for reading!
See you!

A little pause from studies...

I am having the busiest time of the school year and have not had time to play every day, but I always try when I have some spare moments. Just. Two. More. Weeks x.x Feels like eternity.

Have you guys sometimes tripped over horses you've bred and then sold them? I just did and I was delighted to see a Trakehner with my affix on a competition list when I was entering my horse into comps. It just feels great that some horses do have a future after you sell them. May be I am just being pessimistic, but I think that 90% of horses that I sell are still a few hours old a year later. So it feels quite good to see that 10% around.

About the maze...so many blind corners! I keep picking the wrong roads x.x But oh well, at least it's fun lol. No sign of the new Percheron yet, but I won't cry if I won't find it.

Setting up a poll, cause I want to know what would you like to read about the most in my blog. Every kind of feedback is welcome!

And back to studies...wish me luck for that one final exam!

Sincerely yours,
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!
