HAJ is 15 years old this year and we are celebrating with a trip to the seaside. We hope you are enjoying the beachy-themed art all around the game. Here is what is going on:

Gift Exchange
The Gift Exchange has begun and all assignments have gone out. Need some help? Every server has a dedicated chat room called "The Official Gift Exchange". You can join this group to get help delivering gifts, asking for advice, shopping, etc.

Tack Pack
There is a special new PonPon goes to the sea tack pack.

In addition for the month of June, you can access the back catalog of every tack pack we have ever put out! It is a great chance to grab the ones you have missed.

Galloping Sales
Items in the store will be 25% off but only for a very short direction at a time. The sales change every few hours. Grab them if you see what you need!

Roving Gene Sales
Each day 3 new limited genes will be on sale. They cycle every 24 hours and are never guaranteed to show up again this month.

Phantom Genes
Our entire catalog of Phantom Genes is available for the month of June. These are not normally part of our sales cycle and it may be months before you see these again.

Herd Helpers
We have special herd helpers all month long including a whole bunch of new ones. Log in every day for a new share.

New gene
Yes, there is a brand new gene coming for this month. It will be nonfantasy and nonlicensed so available to everyone. Look for that very soon.

Gone Fishing Contest

It's June and that means sea pony collecting. For every horse you create (herd helper or normal) there is a chance it will have been hit by the sea witch's curse. Curses horses will have hippocamp tails and fins. You can turn these in for GMT tokens.

The account (no transfers) who creates the most sea ponies by the end of the month will win a 1000 stall barn!

We give out lots of sea ponies, that way everyone has a chance to try out GMTs. The trade-off is that Sea ponies can never be sold. Please don't feel like you need to hold onto them for hbs.

The game auto tracks the number of sea ponies you create. You do not need to hang onto them. Go a head and turn them in. The game remembers how many you have created for you.

GOOD LUCK FISHING!

It's egg hunting season and this time you get to dye your own. Satin, all Rainbow Riot, and all Nexus genes are available until the 15th of the month. Toner and Ink Spot are available until the end of the month. Make an amazing colored "egg"? Post it below and let's see what folks make. I will send a 500k hb prize to whoever makes the one myself, Haystack, and our artist Jenx deem to be the prettiest.

In addition to the prior rainbow releases, I have also created a new gene:

Rainbow Riot 2

The prior rainbow riot gene was getting too crowded so this second one will allow you to stack up to 4 RR mutations onto a single horse. The new alleles are Toner, a subtle undertone shifter, and Ink Spot, a pigment-density dependent splash of color.

Toner adjusts the undertones of a horse's color. It only shows on diluted pigment. Creams, duns, pangare, champagne, and other colors that show diluted pigment will have a wash of random color in the dilute area. This two-tone wash from legs to the spine can even create subtle gradients of color. Keep in mind Tonner is often subtle. When it shifts warm shades like red, yellow and orange you may not see much change. Cool shades like green and purple are more obvious. Non dilute colors like black and dark chestnuts will NOT show toner at all. Double creams will show full pastel colors.

Here is a liver chestnut P+ showing how the liver chestnut area has no color shift and the diluted area shows a rosy pink.

This bay horse has purple shifting on it's legs and some orange shifting on the belly but it is mostly hidden by the dark color.

This dark brown shows a subtle shift on the belly to purple.

Yellow shifting on brown is more dramatic.

This sable champagne shows a lot of tone shift.

Same horse as above with purple legs and teal shifted upper.

On a blue (black) onyx the dark areas stay dark but the light areas show color.

No tone shift is obvious on this black. Remember dilution is REQUIRED.

This sooty plus bay dun is orange-shifted and looks like a supersaturated bay.

The same horse blue-shifted looks more grullo than bay.

While normally you will see nothing on black P+ blacks can show toning.

Toner works spectacularly on chinchilla horses resulting in beautiful ultra-vivid gradient colors like on this bay.

A note on watercolor! Toner can be combined with watercolor for some beautiful effects but watercolor is very strong and can completely hide toner. Add it with watercolor carefully and stick to horses with dark darks and light lights for the best results. Here it is with a dilute onyx.

Here is that same vivid bay chinchilla from before with watercolor.

Link to all Toner horses on this server.

----

Ink Spot adds pigment-density dependent splashes of a random color onto a horse. It is NOT a marking, it is a shift in the color of a horse's pigment. That means pale/diluted horses will have less intense color spots than darker horses.

Here is Ink Spot on a cream champagne showing the dilution.

On a double dilute it vanishes completely.

On a full-color horse like this liver chestnut the color explodes and is super vivid and can even have multiple brightnesses as it interacts with different pigment layers.

and here on a bay.

Notice how the black pigment is being interacted on separately from the red pigment. That is what creates the multiple shades.

Toner can interact with watercolor but it is often hidden. Notice how the yellow inkspots on this bay water color are largely hidden on this blue shifting.

Depending on the color mix it might be subtle...

Or even totaly hidden

The more dilute the base the more other things like watercolor and toner will hide ink spot.

With vivids like this black, it can be pretty bold even with watercolor.

Link to all Toner horses on this server.

So can you combine toner and ink spot together? YES! And they were created to do so but like with watercolor and toner you need a horse with dark darks and diluted dilute on the same horse for the best effect. In general, though be prepared to do a good deal of rerolling. Onyx and P+ are probably solid bets to combine with this. Brown and sable champ also seem to work well. Black-based Chinchilla seems to show it well.

Bay Chincilla.

Bay onyx

Because of the intense interaction complexity of these genes, I am willing to do a limited number of requests for examples of specific base colors. Please posts those requests on the example request post when I make it. Not here.

If you create or breed any horses with these genes please post your favorites before for a chance to enter for the cash prize!

I have noticed some INCREDIBLY long signatures on some posts. You do not need to list every license you own. ANYONE can go to your Member Home page and open the link titled "xx/xx Owned Closed Gene Licenses" and see which ones you have. If you really must do so; it IS possible to list a few of your gene licenses in one or two lines.

Same thing goes for what you breed for. You do not have to list every detail, or every variation. A basic description works just fine. Body type, main color and one or two different markings is enough to get the idea across.

You are welcome to post a saying, or idea that you feel is important, or that you want to share, but again...keep it short.

Do NOT put more than one space between the lines of your signatures.

Artwork is great, but keep it reasonable as well, it does not need to take up more than 3 or 4 lines

Do NOT put in lines of *****'s, or @~'s, or :)'s all they do is take up space and they are not necessary.

A good rule of thumb is, if your signature takes up more than twice the space your message takes up, it is probably too long!

You SHOULD put your stable ID# in there, so people can look you up easily.

Do I smell flowers?

PonPon! What are you DOING?
Where are you going with all those… are those EGGS?

PonPon is up to mischief again!
He has hidden THOUSANDS of eggs.
He got REALLY sneaky, though, and only hid them in the Archives!
We need your help to find them all!

Green eggs are worth 1 point.

Yellow eggs are worth 3 points.

Red eggs are worth 5 points.

The person with the most points on April 15th will win fabulous prizes!

How it works:
1. Go to the Search page.
2. Set the owner ID to 8.
3. Click on the box that says Archived
4. Click Search.

Open the horse's page to see if they are in cahoots with PonPon, and are hiding eggs for him.
When you find an egg, you will need to copy the link for that horse and post it on this thread.
(If you want to be really helpful you could keep a running total of eggs found on each new post!)

ONLY the first person to post a specific horse will earn the points.

You have to post the picture link to the horse.
If you need help posting the picture check out the thread

Pangare Plus

The first is the new Pangare Plus. Like Sooty Plus, Pangere Plus is a variant form of the normal pangare allele. It causes the lightening of red pigment on the horse's muzzle and underbelly. It shows on horses with bay or chestnut base colors. It only requires one copy to show but shows better with two copies.

It can be purchased through the end of the month via the RGS and has joined the normal RGS rotation.

Examples in search

Phantom Shamrock

Shamrock is our latest phantom gene. It requires pinto markings to show and can be hidden by appaloosa markings. It is a mix of three leaf clovers and rare four-leaf clovers to hunt for.

It can be purchased through the end of the month via the RGS.
