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...

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!

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!

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!

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!
