Horses

StarrFire — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 19:23:52 -0700

Some of my horses that were bred in the pasture last season are not visible and I can not see what color(s) they are. I have tried everything, but still can not view some horses to see if I want to keep them or not. How can I view them?

Before I post in bug section

stoweawayranch — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 09:34:48 -0700

Just wanted to make sure this wasn't something Ammit was already working on, before posting this as a bug. I got the silver black HH. Her portrait was a normal silver black until I switched it. The silver is now, not showing. Has anyone else had this issue and brought it up, or should I go post it in the bug section.

My pasture is full of foals!

OndowaStables — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 08:03:09 -0700

Now for the fun of checking them to see what lovelies my pasture breeding has produced this season. :D

SQUEE! My first homozygous Satin!

KerredansCorral — Fri, 06 Jun 2014 01:56:54 -0700

Thanks to the people who sold me some hetero satins, or allowed me to breed to one, (Looking Glass and Dark Star), I finally got my first intact homozygous Satin!

I love surprises!

PurpleSage — Fri, 30 May 2014 20:40:23 -0700

I have been uber derilict in my duties when it comes to entering my horses into the various breeders clubs. So, I have been playing catch up this evening. I was entering my silvers when I came across this girl! Woot!

Feature Request/Suggestion

Abbey Road — Fri, 30 May 2014 05:10:08 -0700

When your schedule permits, Ammit, a "Remove All Foals From The Pasture" button would be super handy. :)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

PurpleSage — Sat, 17 May 2014 18:42:05 -0700

I have been having major money issues this season and winning the 250K lotto just made my season! Thank you so much for letting us keep the lottery! :-*

Thanks, Ammit

"Congratulations you won 10000 hbs in the horse creation lottery!"

That was a wonderful surprise. It looks like I'm back in the breeding game.

Love the artwork!

I love how all the patterns are interacting on this little guy! His portrait is just stunning! Now I just hope he papers B and is superior. [-O<

Ever Have One of Those Days?

Frost River — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 01:29:28 -0700

You know, the ones where you look at your barns and decide, "Today's the day. Today, they shall cower in fear of being Yummed." Well, today was mine. I Yummed every single Inconsistent gelding/spay in that barn, plus a few breeders. Why? Because I realized I had a ton of horses that weren't making the cut--or cash--and I needed to trim it back to something more manageable.

From a full 15-stall Gelding/Spay barn, I am left with a lean 7 horses.
From my Primary Barn, which has 35 stalls but only 17 in use, I am left with 10, 2 Yummed and 5 spayed mares, having ruthlessly spayed any mare below a 9.8--and that's only because that 9.8 had a pretty color ^.^

This brought my Gelding/Spay count back up to 12, but what's a girl to do? *shrugs*

But this will free up tons of space for this year's crop of foals, plus I made a chunk of cash, having Yummed 10 horses.

So, anyone else having one of those days?

Brindle out of non brindle parents!

KerredansCorral — Sun, 27 Apr 2014 09:09:09 -0700

I was totally surprised by this one. Was looking to see who I haven't bred yet this year, and found a mare I liked, so bred her to one of my higher quality studs and boy am I happy with the results! :D

Hilighted horses?

PurpleSage — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 10:40:25 -0700

Are we doing the mass cull thing on HJ2 like we did on HJ1? I checked the announcements and didn't see anything.

Image in Log In Page

PaintsStables — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 10:47:36 -0700

The color of the horse on, "The guess what color this horse is?" on the log in image this morning, 04-07-2014 at 10:45am PDT, was way too cool! I have never seen that color before on the log in page. I was so amazed, that I had to post about it. I hope someone else besides me got to see the color, or have seen that color before.

End Of Year Awards

kintara — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 00:33:00 -0700

These didn't go out this year? Is HJ2 being phased out?

Mare Quality

Abbey Road — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 07:23:33 -0700

I have quite a few foundation mares who are patterned that I would cull because they're really not producing great foals.... BUT since the game hasn't produced any patterned foundations to speak of in three months/game years, I'm hesitant to do so. (I haven't seen many patterned foundies for sale in ages either, but I assume they're worth a fortune right now!)

I'm concerned my herd quality is going to suffer, but on the other hand 1. I don't have the money to GMT everything and 2. I don't want to make a bunch of chestnuts and bays. Blah.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Highest PT

Abbey Road — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 16:35:30 -0700

I'm curious, if horses are tied on highest PT on the breeder's club list, what causes one to be ranked above another?

Finally... 3 seasons later! :D

I have been trying for 3 full seasons to get a superior son from my Ice stallion. He finally gave me this gorgeous boy! I am trying to decide if I want to add the tobi or not, but I am not too concerned that he missed it. lol

Auto Show?

Double T Stables — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 09:51:31 -0800

I know that there was an issue with Auto Show previously not picking up horses. Has that been fixed? I just wanted to make sure before I start hand enetring everything. Plus I need more money since I spent a chunk today, but before that I am not certain my horses were getting picked up.

Training

Balmoral Aus — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 02:57:05 -0700

I was just thinking... on HJ1 I have auto-train, so it's never really occurred to me before.
But on HJ2 I train my horses by hand and plan to show by hand as well when I have some more time. (I hand-show on HJ1 too)...
But as I am training my horses myself, could I not 'cheat' so to speak and make it so my horses are trained to a certain score that will allow them to win? Then just stop training them and leave them at that point? Or would they automatically level up, forcing me to keep training them?

I'm not planning on testing out this theory, but I was merely curious.

Training, Leveling off and HJ2

dark star — Sat, 01 Mar 2014 10:07:00 -0800

Let me caveat this post by saying I never really had the time to figure out, or dedicate myself to, the showing side of the house. I have nothing but respect for those who have, it is time consuming to keep track of dozens of showers. I only say this so you understand that my knowledge of the show scene is pretty poor.

Anyways, I noticed that our HJ2 horses train about as quickly as the HJ1 horses, 3-4 points a week. Unlike HJ1 our horses age up every month. Do our horses still level off between 9-12ish, depending on their PT here on HJ2? If so does that mean we have half the time to train our horses, so they won't reach the higher levels of the show game easily? Have the show levels been adjusted to take the increased aging into account?

I don't really have a horse in this race, since I let autoshower do all of my showing, and usually end up losing money because I don't manage my herds for showing, but I know some folks do enjoy the showing side of things. This just sprang to mind this morning and I thought I would bring it up.

Showing

KerredansCorral — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 07:13:08 -0800

Don't know if this would be the right place to put this, but I was wondering if there is anyway possible for more shows to run on Level 2L of the showing, as I have over 25 horses to show in that level, but when I go to put them into shows, there is only one show coming up. I know you don't want us filling a show by ourselves, which is why I was asking.
