As it says I came back to game and trying rebuild my herd with 7 fillies. I was wondering if my lines still went on in other herds still, I remember a couple real life years ago they were popular, and if any nares are for sale I might be interested

Oh my goodness, found some river meadows fillies that traced back to some of my favorite studs (one of my faves as well that I used straws from for some of my 7 current fillies. Abd I added them to the gold. You did so well ricer meadows. They are gorgeous and I'm so happy to grab them because they traced back to Requiem who I unfortunately did not have straws from. Oh my goodness!

There is a feature now where you can get straws from archived horses if you were the last owner. Check the breeding tab.

Wildland Acres · Sep 21, 2025 11:32 PM

Ooo. There are so many things I'm behind on!

Wildland Acres · Sep 21, 2025 11:36 PM

... It's telling me "Error, a horse must be older than 2 and you get than 20 in order to pull a straw"... I'm so out of how to do things. I'm still clueless. I'm at least finding descendants where they are just barely showing ok n the extended pedigrees. XD

Wildland Acres · Sep 21, 2025 11:37 PM

At least I know my lines had staying power

Wildland Acres · Sep 21, 2025 11:39 PM

Also what are the fantasy licence things so far? I bought some, can I try to buy horses with those genes again even though I currently don't have any thunderstruck horses? I know I have a ice 1 and ice 8 horse. But I know I had thunder. Are there going to be issues if I try to buy horses with those genes again?

Ammit · Sep 21, 2025 11:52 PM

Link to the horse with the error please :)

Ammit · Sep 21, 2025 11:54 PM

On your home page scroll down and it will show you all the genes you have license for. You can buy any horse with those genes.

Can't remember. There are a lot of old fun bootstrap studs, but it shows up with others. Wonder if that one got sold. Keep seeing gold tokens everywhere. What are they and can I get them hfor ivs anywhere? I've been told the breeding boosts I'm used to are still available for 10 ivs as I remember but I'm only seeing for gold tokens I'm only seeing for cash

Wildland Acres · Sep 22, 2025 3:07 AM

Honestly even though I love way too many of my oldies I think my best bet right now is work on this guy, see if I can figure out the boosting thing to get him ready and an trying to get a mare band for him. Have a hand full from my 18 year old mates and a handful I've tracked down and bought so far. The stallion futurity thing is new too. Are stallion a with closed genes eligible? But yeah, ideally looking for descendants from my old lines but could be interested in other that could pair well with him. All my thunderstruck stock has passed, if any of those are around I'd be very interested in a gold papered preferably black based solid mare

Hi! Welcome back! I have straws to a few stallions that you might be interested in... and I almost certainly have some bootstrap mares that relate back to these guys as well. I'd be happy to help!

They all relate back to Knight of Night, who was gifted to me one gift exchange as one of my very first *Star papered stallions! I still have a few of his straws around:

BS Knight of Night DPsa

His son:

BS Knight Walk DPsa

And grandson:

BS Floatin Down

I would be happy to share straws or go digging for mares that come from this line, as well. Let me know if that's of interest. :)

BlueValley · Sep 22, 2025 4:09 PM

Welcome back! I don't believe I have any descendants from your lines, but I'm more than happy to help rebuild your herd if you find anything you'd like in my barns (including show ponies!) Just let me know. :)

Wildland Acres · Sep 25, 2025 8:32 AM

Ooo stormwood. If you ever sell fillies I'd definitely be interested. And thanks for the offer blue valley. I don't want to be stingy though. Show ponies seem even harder to get than before now. Now with people having to pay their lifetime earnings to get them how is this supposed to work? Any tips to do this honestly?

Kismet · Sep 25, 2025 3:44 PM

My life hack for show horses is to breed, breed, breed! I currently have a 539k daily showing bonus, all from horses I bred through my Bootstrap program. I never buy show horses anymore. Even if they're bred via straws/AI they will still be highly profitable over their lifetimes if they are trained and shown every week. It will take a couple months to gain momentum, but you'll see pretty significant bonus growth if you start with around 150 13+ PT speldings and try to add about that many each month.

Pasture breeding exceptional producer foundation mares to a high PT Bootstrap stallion is another low cost, high volume way to breed show horses.

Wildland Acres · Sep 26, 2025 4:42 AM

Yeah. I went from I want to say about 160khbs to.... 129. XD thankfully my coffees are maxed out .. but will be breeding my little fillies when they age up and thankfully being so small scale now (12 mares...) will help me from getting overwhelmed again as I build up again and I shouldn't drain my funds before I get established again but .... Seeing that daily bonus hurt. XD I'll just make sure everyone shows as they age up and work on building my mare band again.

If you take the space out of your user name, people can send you messages..
All studs are eligible for futurity, even with closed genes.

ImagineThat1 · Oct 27, 2025 7:31 PM

i think i have a bunch.. i cloned a couple i would be happy to send you a couple … i always loved your lines

Wildland Acres · Oct 28, 2025 10:38 PM

Ooo. That would be cool. And if you need straws or I'll have a *** boy coming to breeding age next month so if you want to use them let me know! I'm a couple months I should be well on my way to getting them going again

stardustgirl · Oct 29, 2025 12:28 PM

I have no horses bred by you (or descendants that I'm aware of, at least), but if straws from any of my boys would help you build things back up just let me know and I'll be happy to send some over :)

stardustgirl · Oct 29, 2025 1:09 PM

Update to correct—I do have some horses who have varying percentages of horses with the Jorren breed, happy to pull straws from any if they're of interest? Will warn they're mostly bootstraps, not sure if you're as interested in those. Definitely willing to part with some of the stallions too :)

I also have a couple straws from The Midnight Sun and Future Investment if you'd want those.

Stars Satin Beauties 6G

(lines to AGA W Konick, unsure if you want any tracing to him?)
