Yes, it is that time of year when I need to renew my host and domain services -- so I'd love to raise the $50 I need through custom sales. I also could use all the help I can get covering my textbook costs, if I actually end of earning more than that.

Prices
Package A: $10 -2 semi-custom* horses
Package B: $15 - 2 horses
Package C: $15 - 2 semi-custom* horses plus 1 foaling paddock
Package D: $20 - 2 horses plus 1 foaling paddock
Package E: $15 - 2 semi-custom* horses , both fully equipped (please specify item colors)
Package F: $20 - 2 horses, both fully equipped (please specify item colors)
Package G: $10 - 2 foaling paddocks

*Note: Unless otherwise specified, these horses are full customs, so reference pictures and detailed descriptions are welcome. However, if ordering a package with "semi-custom" horses, you can not provide reference pictures or very detailed descriptions (ie: no specifying front right sock, hind right stocking, and a blaze).

Instructions
Please post here with the name of your package at the top of your post in bold and in red. Then fill out the following form, one per horse:

Name:
Owner:
Breed:
Gender:
Coat:
Reference Picture/s: (if any)

You can purchase as many packages as you want.

Send payment via PayPal to mcclammys @ aol . com (without the spaces, of course). Make sure that you put your username somewhere in your payment so I know who to credit! I ask that you do this before I start your order, unless you PM me to arrange something else. All orders should be completed in one week or less after being placed, unless you order a great number of packages. I will also be happy to change your customs if you are not happy with them.

Thanks so much, and happy ordering!

Survey
You'll be paired with a compatible horse, according to our equine experts. This event has unlimited slots (1 per person) and will run throughout the duration of the bonanza.

Please post your answers to the following six questions in purple:
1. Are you mellow or somewhat temperamental ?
2. Do you like tall or short horses?
3. Is your favorite class English , Western, or Showmanship?
4. Do you prefer milk chocolate or dark chocolate?
5. Do you set trends or go with the flow?
6. Would you rather wear blue jeans or a dress/suit?

CLOSED

[Ravvana]

Horse Search
I'll post a series of premade Stable horses. You must find real horse photos that looks as physically similar to the posted horses as possible (1 photo per horse). You may enter for just one horse, or for all four. Whoever has the most similar photo to the premade will take that premade home. The winner of each horse will be decided by a panel of judges at my RL house. Correct coloring/markings is most important, but bonus points will go to breed/pose/other. Please link to your photos.

CLOSED

[Ravvana]

Bath Day
I'll post a muddy-looking horse. You must guess the horse's true color. There is a 24 hour time limit, and then the winner (whoever guessed the horse's color most correctly) will be announced. A correct phenotype is +1, and an incorrect phenotype is -1. The prize is the freshly bathed horse. Random.org will break ties. You may guess for all four, just one, or somewhere in between.

CLOSED

[Ravvana]

Breeding Game
I'll post two parent horses. You must try to predict the offspring's phenotype, much like normal goal breeding. A right phenotype is +1, and a wrong phenotype is -1. Whoever has the most points for each pair after 24 hours wins the grown-up "foal." Random.org will break ties. You may guess for all six, or for just one, or however many you wish.

Note: The "foal" will not actually be related to the "parents" outside of the game.

CLOSED

Name Me!
Give this horse a name. After a 24 hour period, whoever gives the "best" name will take the horse home.

[red_uni387]

eeee bonanza!

[Lectral]

*peeks in* Hmmmmm, this looks a wee bit interesting >.>

[Ravvana]

First off, please keep "normal" requests (ie: tag customs, breedings, equips, etc) in the other current thread. I'd like to keep clutter down in here. You are welcome to chat in either place, though

$USD sales are now open.

I'd also love to get some ideas for the Bonanza events. The more unusual, the better Current thoughts...
-Survey: You'll be paired with a compatible horse, according to our equine experts
-Horse Search: I'll post a premade Stable horse, and you find a real horse photo that looks as physically similar as possible; 24 hour time limit, then winner of announced; repeat
-Muddy Horse: I'll post a muddy-looking horse, and you guess its true color; whoever is closest wins the bathed horse
-Breeding Game: I'll post two parents, and you try to predict the offspring's phenotype; whoever is closest wins the "foal"
-Horse Taming: I'll post a horse, and you RP your initial bonding with the horse; whoever the horse prefers will take said horse home

Please note that the vast majority of horses in these events will be premades, some guest colored -- so keep that in mind when suggesting events.

[red_uni387]

what about that game you did last time where the horse was covered in mud and we had to guess the coat?

[Ravvana]

Ooh, yes, that was fun *adds to list*

[red_uni387]

how about a scavenger hunt too? or something where we can try to lasso a horse, but it's completely random for gender/breed and it's not 100% guaranteed you'll snag a horse?

[Ryuukokoro]

I like the idea of the survey, it sounds fun! ^^


Maybe a guess-the-breeding type of game, where you show two parents and we try to guess the phenotypes of what the offspring be, and the one closest to the right answer gets to keep the offspring?

[springacres]

What about that one you did shortly after Warmbloods came out, where there were three arenas and entrants had to post the breed, color and pattern and what arena they were riding the horse in?

[springacres]

I like the idea of the survey, it sounds fun! ^^

YES.  This was wicked fun when you did it on the old Kennel forums.

[PonyMama]

I would maybe like a small RP event something between 100-200 words for a response to lure the horse to us

Scullisto: For the semi-custom packages, no reference pictures, please.

[Ravvana]

Pickups for Scullisto! Let me know if Flashmar isn't what you had in mind; you didn't specify the type of overo, so I used frame. Hopefully that is okay, but I will change it if not <3

[Pinkshadow]

WOW !!

I just when i typed Leopard appy i thought of a horse liek this;
http://www.crittercreek.com/crittercreeknew/Pianoman/IMAG016.JPG

..
But she is just far more beautiful, then my thoughts <3'
-Thanks alot ravv

[zarzamora]

[Scullisto]

-Thanks alot ravv

Oh yes, that's another variety of leopard appaloosa, a bit more unusual than the typical leopard spotting I did. Since your leopard girl was a full custom, I wouldn't mind redoing her based on the spotting in that photo. But if you like how she turned out, that's obviously fine too

[Pinkshadow]

Ow thanks ravv , but i like her , just the way she is <3

[springacres]

Zaz - that first ref picture looks to me like a red chestnut with flaxen.  And I think that's an extended blanket pattern ("near leopard" is just a term some people use to describe that kind of pattern, where the horse has a spotted blanket that extends to the shoulders) Beautiful color no matter what term you use though!

[Ravvana]

Pickups for zarzamora!

I coded the first girl as a chestnut flaxen blanket Also, do you want me to code Cara as roan, or just normal bay tobiano? Let me know if you want anything changed.

[Ryuukokoro]

*Ryuu jumps in, throws a random lolpic from her daily browse, and runs away*

[zarzamora]

ahhhh cara looks perfect!! i love them both thanks! cara is fine as a normal bay tobiano

[Ravvana]

ahhhh cara looks perfect!! i love them both thanks! cara is fine as a normal bay tobiano
