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!

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!

All those fancy pictures!

Good afternoon!

I don't have any ideas for a good intro so let's just begin :D

I changed my avatar! Just added BigHorseFreak in a fancy font onto a palomino horse picture and there it is c: Cute, isn't it? ;D I won't change my blogger profile pic tho, you can still look at Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana cover here :P

 

Fancy af

 

I am holding a Grand Giveaway in my equestrian center's forum! In the past I've had small prizes usually, but this time I took a deep breath and agreed with myself to make a few sacrifices...tho I have more of these items in store lol, trying to be generous here or what :P Entrances are open for everyone, so be sure to enter and have a go! And if you can, please spread the word with this banner, I haven't got any participators(nor visits) so far, largely due to Howrse's new rule, that advertising trough messages to boarders is prohibited. Thank you!

More fancyness...

Lottery, my favorite event, has begun again! I have been lucky to have gathered tons of tickets and the biggest price so far has been a Golden Apple c: Narcissa got that one, she has a super cute palomino uni coat now! Also, I got another Golden Apple when I finished the Great Challenge, but as I went to use it, I accidentally forgot to tick the box that I use a GA from my inventory and I lost a precious pass x.x But I think it was not so bad at all, cause the coat I got went retired today and it has less than 200 copies, woop! So I got altogether 3 new coats in one day, not bad at all! Here, have pics of them :3 I am really sorry, I couldn't find better pics, so avoid enlarging them if you don't want to get your eyes burned by all those pixels...


Capricorn wearing her retired pass coat...
 
Evana's coat.
 
I love Narcissa's pwetty palomino ass *w*

I just counted them up...I have exactly 30 GA horses, 4 of them are RCs and a handful of others are soon-to-be-RC. Quite a lot already, eh?

This time I got a lot of pictures here, woops...Anyways, thank you for stopping by and see you in the next post!

Sincerely,
BHF

SH confessions

Hello!

It's been a while! I've had the thoughest cycle in school and very demanding finals, but I have always found spare minutes(and hours, woops) for Howrsing around, so here is a little summary.

Last week I entered both Tanya and Fusion in GP every day. To summarize it up, Fusion is doing better than Tanya, the latter only gets better placings in cross country. This week I have only entered Fusion for GP, will tell you about the results next time :) Last week I managed to hop to 264th place in the general GP ranking. I hope Fusion takes me higher!

I am the kind of breeder who very rarely uses Safe Haven. I try to sell any unwanted horses and when they won't go with even the lowest price, then the very last option is SH. But today I had to make an ugly exception to pass a guest in the Great Challenge, where I had to put a horse into SH. I didn't have any I could send there, so I bought a cheap crossbred foal from the market and put it into SH. Of course I feel guilty, but this is just game, BHF...just a game...

I noticed that I haven't talked about any tips or had discussions lately, I promise I will try to do them more often from now on! I tried to do one today, but I ended up deleting it, because it didn't come up so good. When I happen to get great ideas, I will come and make a new post!

Sorry for yet another short post! I always have great ideas, but once I get here, they are all gone...I should try writing them down...

See you!
BHF

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!
