TheStable: $USD Sales & End-of-Summer Bonanza

[Ravvana]

(Smokey black)
(Blue dun)
(Palomino)
(Cremello)

[YourLoveOnly]

Yay, they are gorgeous! <3
Will likely order more at the end of the week (Wednesday or Thursday) ^^

Oh and Ravv, shouldn't English have run by now?

[Ravvana]

Yesss, it should have >.> *sneaks off*

[Keilin Alyr]

Whoa, I need to order a blue dun like Huri at some point. I can't believe I neglected that competition.

[Ravvana]

It's actually "Ituri," but that font mushes the "I" and "t" together XD

A little over 5 hours until the breeding/muddy events end. Next up: a second round of horse matching and some kind of RP event

I think after that I'll just give the remaining horses out in a pick-a-stall, as running these specialized events is turning out to be more time consuming than coloring/certing the prizes XD

[YourLoveOnly]

Butbut they are so much fuuun!

[Lectral]

I could go for a pick-a-stall; I seem to have better luck there XD

But we'll see, since we haven't got results for the bath and breed games yet.  Maybe I will get lucky afterall >.>

[Ryuukokoro]

I agree, these events are awesome. ^_^ I'm really looking forward to the writing one!


Bath Day

1. golden buckskin
2. chestnut frame overo
3. red dun tobiano
4. bay silver dapple



Nooow let's see if I can figure out anything breeding wise... *goes to do some research*

Yes Ituri, I almost thought you spelled it wrong untol i saw the slight gap

and you coudl always do shorter rounds of the specialized events.  Speed events that match.  One horse at a time

[Keilin Alyr]

*tilts head* Yeah, you're right. Really uncanny how those two squished letters look like an H.

But on the one hand, slower events means a higher likelihood of you having much more time to color random horses over time and have one amazing end of bonanza event or pre-mades for future events. On the other, blitz events are really fun, especially if there's any mention of sniping involved. XD

Guess we'll see what the next few hours bring and what interest is shown. =)

[YourLoveOnly]

I defenitely hope for at least one more round of the breeding game. I love all the games, but ever since I got into TheStable I've become a little genetic geek.

And now it's almost 1 AM so bedtime for YLO. I'll be back in the morning

[Goddesss]

Bath Day

1. blue roan tabino
2. flaxen chestnut blanket appy
3. blue dun
4. brown silver dapple

[Ryuukokoro]

Okay here are my guesses. Ugh I tried really hard to understand the genetic probabilities. I'm going to be so embarrassed if I put in something that isn't even possible with the parents. *hides face*


Breeding Game

1. silver dapple buckskin tobiano
2. buckskin sabino overo
3. yellow dun tovero
4. bay tobiano
5. palomino roan tovero frame
6. gray blue roan tobiano

[Lectral]

Congrats winners!

[springacres]

Wow, congrats to the winners...and once again I would give a kidney to know what Hehewuti is hiding under her white coat.  I guess I just have to keep breeding her to find out!

[CutieePiee]

Hehe, looks like I won the "foal" of my own stock mare. What a gorgeous girl!

[springacres]

Hehe, looks like I won the "foal" of my own stock mare. What a gorgeous girl!

so you did, and that tells me something about Gentle Lady's genetics as well.  Your girl's sire was a frame overo, right?

[Ravvana]

Round 2 of the matching game is now open, as is the writing event!

I really need to be quicker with these contests >.> First I got the one Spixy posted because of the pose, then found one that matched the exact shade better and saw Cutiee already posted it XD

I finally found this one:

I love her coloration, I think it matches the premade really well.. too bad I couldn't find it in a better pose.

4. My favorite spotted thing would be raindrops on a window. Both the way it looks and the sound of the rain are very calming to me. I also feel like it somehow fits this boy. I always name my horses after songs and he would be called November Rain. A very famous song for a very special boy.

[PonyMama]

Horse writing.
4. My favorite Spotted thing is my daughter.  Ok let me explain.  Every summer when it gets warm she ends up getting a heat rash, it is unavoidable.  She ends up looking all spotted and even then she is smily and generally happy to be around anyone and everyone.  With something like a heat rash that woudl make a grown adult squirm, she stay happy.  So yes my favorite spotted thing is my daughter.

Not too sure if I can edit in to the matching game

'Please daddy' the little girl begged, her eyes wide. 'Cant you sell one of the ponies instead?' Her father sighed and looked away. 'We have been over this' he said, his voice sad. 'The ponies just arent worth as much as we can get for a cart horse and we need the money. The other cart horse is too old to be worth anything. I know your attatched to him, but we will find you another horse when we are in a better position. Im sorry sweetheart, but I just have to part with him, or none of us are going to eat this month.' The girl burried her face in the big Silver dapple bay's mane and choked back another sob. She couldnt bear the thought of loosing her beloved horse. If only she could find a way to make some money. But she was only 8 and no-one trusted gypsy's enough to hire them anyhow. Maybe, just maybe if she hoped hard enough, tomorrow would never come...

M'dear, you simply must listen! I agree I haven't seen anything as beautiful as your spotted form, but I do know a close second! Have you ever been galloping through a field of wild flowers and suddenly you're surrounded by... bubbles? That's right, a giant cloud of beautiful rainbow bubbles! At my stable we blow bubbles for all our horses to enjoy. If this sounds good to you, come home with me! ^^

[Neocridders]

Oh my gosh. I won? Wow! And she's a draft! And now I can register a stable!
*squeeeee*

Name, name name name?

Oh ummm, today's my birthday, and she's blue. Like my birthstone. So, let's name her Sapphire

Torn between two pics for that one, but I think this one is a teensy bit better....

[springacres]

Heh, Lectral, I almost used that one myself xD

[Lectral]

The one you did choose was on my list of potentials, but I saw it had already been used, so I decided to find a different pic

And since I was out almost all day for my husband's birthday, I had to do some quick looking before I left this morning, and hope I would have time to finish looking and post when I got home.  Just barely did! XD

[springacres]

xD  Good luck to you, Lectral, and to everyone else who entered!  (Red_uni, that friesian cross was another one I almost used lol!)
