Unicorns - yay or nay?

You already know that lack of time(and ideas!) is the main problem I rarely post here. But enjoy this little post that I had time to write now.


Soooh...unicorns, yay or nay? I'd say they are somewhere in the middle because of what happened with me a week ago.

So all my three uni mares were ready to be covered at the exact same time and I had 3 windows open and was ready to click. When I was choosing the stallions, I was surprised to see only 3 stallions offering coverings with prices that would cost me 6000 equus as total for each! Yeah, it gave me eye twitches, but since I had missed the right covering time for ages and was there now in the right time, I decided to take the risk. These were uni stallions with quite good skills and I hoped I would at least get one unicorn.

And guess what happened? None of them were unicorns! I was so dissapointed! But to be sure I get 100% all my money back, I put the foals up for direct sales with their covering prices, luckily they went fast. I have my money *dollar eyes*

So unicorns may not always be so "cool", "awesome", "cute". They may eat all your money.


See you around!

Equestrian centers update

Last update to equestrian centers was a big one. Lots of things have changed and I am gonna give my opinion on them now. Feel free to comment yours below :)


Few months ago, the employment feature was erased and we can't receive salaries with jobs anymore. Now we are getting money automatically every day when we log on. I think this is a good solution, because everyone are now quaranteed a 1000 equus "salary". The new employment system however, doesn't really make me a happy camper. I hate that I have to buy employees for passes and they last only for several weeks! I would understand more if they would last a year or forever, but few weeks for a pass? No. Not all of us can buy passes for real money. However, I do like the fact that they can be won trough UFOs and competitions, I already have got 2 :P


I personally like the workshops addition. I no more have to spend my money in shops to get stuff I need for my center, I just collect enough material from UFOs and missions with horses and voila! I can craft items without any fees! Only minus is, that showers and all those more imortant stuff take a lot of resources to make, so if you have many boxes and meadows, it takes time to fulfill all their needs.


So this is all for now and I hope you liked it :)

Secret to my success!

So today I am gonna reveal how I train horses to the top c: This here is my way, you may use it, I am not jelly :)

It all starts with a little foal. Already in their foalhood I play with them as much as their energy allows me. Do not worry, if you feed, drink, stroke and give a carrot, the energy will get back to over 20%.

When the foal grows into a youngster, I take it to rides. Again, I use as much energy as possible. I have my own order on rides too: Forest, moutain, forest and so on. Better horses will get quite a handful of skills from this.

When the training starts, I will start training each skill one by one and starting with the best inborn skill and going lower. And I still use max energy to progress faster. I use Chronors' Timer on best horses only who have potential for a good competitive career in the future.

I won't start competing before all the skills are fully trained. Then I start looking at which discipline the horse is good at. I start with every day taking part of all the competitions once. The discipline(s) the horse wins at the most will be the disciplines it will tackle for the rest of it's life.

When the horse reaches 20, it's skills will start decreasing, which usually means less throphies from competitions. If it's a stallion, then he will offer one covering every day and rest of the energy goes for competitions. Mares will usualy continue full time competing. If the horse reaches 25, it's health starts decreasing and this is the place where I usually abandon competing cause health is the biggest factor in competing. Stallions will then every day participate in a lesson and rest of the energy will go for covering offers. Mares then also abandon competing and will do lessons also. This routine will last until the end of their life.



So this is how I do it! If you have any tips for me then feel free to share them in the comments section.

Thanks for reading!

Save the Trakehners!

Today, when I was going to breed my Trakehner mare Emery I came to huge surprise when I searched for purebred Trakehner stallions. There were less than 10 covering offers! Usually there are 3 pages but under 10!? Are people losing interest in Trakehners?

Anyways, I am not losing interest in them. I wanna keep this lovely breed alive in Howrse! So today, all my mature Trakehner stallions offer 1 covering each for 500 equus! Of course, you may any time mail me, when you want a reservation. This applies on all of my stallions.

So please, lets keep this breed alive and start breeding Trakehners today!

Thanks!

Let's get into your minds!

First off, a moment of silence for Emperor's last day with us...

I am getting a pass soon! Lol how evil :D


I have many Arabian foals I don't need up for auction. Go check them out at Arabian horses tab. Bid or mail me for reservations.

And today I'll share you some tips :)

This time it's something more pshychological. I am sure we all have been at that point in the game where you just want to give up because you will never get those GP wins, number one ranking or divines. I've had these points too. But you see, I have never given up. If I get that feel, I close Howrse and/or my laptop and go and do something else that gets my mind off this game for a while.

 It is really hard job to reach the top, nobody has ever gone there with just a snap. There is years of work behind it. And think it trough: do you really want to be on the top? Of course it feels good to be the best, but you will face full mail box with fanmails, questions and may be some insults(some can go very low) every time you log in. Answering and reading them takes all night! Also, going to the top means owning thousands of horses, taking care of them all is a task that needs a lot of time and patience. Needless to say, you also have to spend real money because of all the passes and stuff.

May be you realise, that going for the top at any cost isn't for you. You are happy as an average level user. Remember, what ever happens, please don't go and insult the best ones. I've seen and even used myself banners that criticise best users. I regret it. Please don't you do that, because if you'll one day may be reach the top, you don't want to be treated the same way, do you?

I gave my best, so don't be mad if (you think) I am talking bullshit :P

Thank you for your attention!
