Confused about this month's gift horses
  • When I went to make my 1000 point horse, I'm under the impression it said any horse created during this event would be 1000 points. But when I bred another horse, it was only a few points. I did get the first 1000 point horse, though.
  • It's not an event, it is just the first horse you create after activating it.

  • Ok, thanks.
  • Just one! it was weird, all the creates said "just 1 hb" but i knew I could only pick one. WHAT a dilemma

  • I wish I'd known, I'd have gone for an ex perf or something. Ah well, next time.

  • Personally, I always go grab some semi-fancy color HH to create my 1000 pt show horse. The 1000 pt show horse is always an Exceptional Show Horse (you can see the tattoo on their page), so there's no need to make a point of creating it with an exceptional HH (that also bumps the era down by two notches instead of one, if that's something you like to pay attention to). I usually pick a HH that I won't feel bad about spaying/gelding yet will make the show horse a little more interesting to look at than just the plain chestnut it's likely to come out as without using a HH. (Strategically, you could think about what color breeders clubs you want to be able to enter it in to compete as a show horse.) I used a buckskin roan dun tobiano this time. :)

  • I make a point of making my 1000 point create a yearling. This time around I made it with the special herd helper because I knew I would be keeping her, but usually I use the random create box just to see what I get and geld it right away no testing.

  • I usually use a lower level herd helper that I love the look of, but rarely use because I like my foundations to be red papered. I'll also use it as a chance to make a bone size I don't breed (so riding horse here, and draft on forest), just for variety.
