I went back and forth on posting, since I did benefit from two give-aways recently (as a matter of fact, if you said you'd rather not give me anything because of that I'd be perfectly fine with it)... but I really could use barn space. I'm trying to save up for a level 3 upgrade and I was thinking I might have to spend IVs on another barn first.

1. I think I have a handle on playing the game now. Right now my number one goal is to buy an upgrade so I can do the rest of the testing on my horses to make them more valuable to the game. Second goal is to breed a few silver blacks, liver chestnuts, and homozygous tobi/appys to start my lines with.

2. The thing I like best about Hunt and Jump is the slow pace and the powerful game play offered when it comes to long term planning. Making goals and seeing them come to fruition is one of my favorite things, and its nice to have something a little faster than real life and not so serious when things go wrong. Plus I love the real genetics!

3. Wow... not sure about just one favorite, but I have a new colt I really love the color of, and also two of my first gray mares. I really love what the gray is doing on them.

I hope its alright I posted three, I just wanted to show them off! Let me say too, I am just blow away by how friendly people are here. I jumped on the first give-away because I thought it must be a once in a lifetime thing. Now I realize that people here are just that eager to help each other out. I can't wait until I can afford to do the same and pay it forward. I love this game more and more everyday!

Thanks!

Thanks so much! I bought a new barn, now I'll be able to keep all of my favorite foals this season!

Just trying to keep this offer from being lost on the back pages.

Thank you, Margot. I'm truly glad to be in the position that I can do this, and it's all thanks to Ammit's reworking of the showing system.

Since I'm a pixel pony hoarder, I have lots of horses showing and my showing bonus is such that I can now afford to add barns with IVs whenever necessary here. (This frees up my real-life money to purchase other great stuff in the upgrade menu.) But I played for years when running out of stalls was a frequent event (like every breeding season *G*) and finding the real life cash to purchase another barn was a definite concern. It's still that way on my HAJ2 account. (This frees up my real-life money to purchase other great stuff in the upgrade menu.) My experience of those times was a major factor in my decision to make this offer to new players.

I like your favorite horse. She reminds me of the horses I started out with. I decided to focus on roans when I began playing for myself, instead of just watching over my daughter's shoulder while she played, which is one reason I named my stable SandyCreek, so most of my horses were roan for quite a long time. Since then, I've branched out into almost every color and pattern available, but I still really like roans. A good place to get solid foundation horses that will do well in the show ring for quite some time is the Foundation Rescue (owner 13). All the horses available will be the best breeding and showing quality that ordinary foundations can be. They are also 100% consistent in their showing, so they gain 3 points with every training and have the same score both times they show in a week.

This is a truly amazing and addictive game. Welcome to the ranks of the fascinated. :D I hope that having the room for 30 more horses allows you to keep your favorite horse. The more horses you can gather and show, the bigger your showing bonus will become. It does take a long time to get to the break-even point, but with patience you can get there.

Those are three very nice horses. I love what you have done with their tack. It sounds like you're making a good start in the game. I hope that having more room will make your experience even more enjoyable.

I'm so glad that I was able to help you out. That's good news about Sigurd. It makes me very happy that you can keep her now. You can still show her, you know. I've always shown all my breeding horses, unless they are in pastures or the primary barn (and that last's because I seldom have time in my busy schedule to show that barn by hand). Some of my top money winners have been intact horses.

There's no harm in using outside lines, either. Many players will seek outside blood on purpose so that their lines don't become too inbred, although there is no harm to the horses in doing that in the game, thank goodness.

Please don't hesitate to ask me for answers to questions or advice at any time.

SandyCreek Acres,

Look at this horse I created last week. When I first saw him I had great hopes for him as a stallion, but sadly he got gelded and he's inconsistent. I think I'll keep him for a while and enjoy the color.



Oops, I probably shouldn't put this here. I don't know how to send you a message otherwise. Is that possible?

Returning this to page 1, since I was just able to help out another new member via a different thread. This offer is still open to two more new players.

This offer is certainly still open. Thank you for taking advantage of it. I like the looks of Watch A Whizzin Gun. I hope he makes it safely through Gelding Advice. He's really beautiful.

I sent you a PM, and you should be seeing the added hajibucks in your balance.

Yes, you qualify. The two months mentioned is based on the fact that the game rules state that I can only send money to players who have been playing for more than 2 months. Since the other cut off was to have joined since January, you fit the profile perfectly. I'll be happy to help you expand your barn space.

You linked to three gorgeous horses. Perhaps Unbelievable Hairdo (love that name!) would be my favorite, since I have a thing for Rabicanos (among other colors and patterns), but I can certainly see why your goal is Ice Appaloosas. Vanilla Tree Star looks like she will grow up to be a stunning horse.
