I still have my main barn (SummertreeFarms) on Forest server, but it's always fun to try out a new twist and this is the perfect place to do it!

Oh so nice to be graced by your presence!

Hello, @Confluence! Nice to see you again.

ConfluenceStable · Apr 11, 2025 5:27 PM

Don't need a whole lot, the account has been running for the better part of 2 years, now, and reached the max 10 million! But thanks, everyone!

Forestshadow · Apr 15, 2025 8:31 AM

Oh my, good to see you again, I just came back myself.

Belated Welcome Back! If you need any show ponies or anything PLEASE let me know!

MasterStablesMS · Apr 16, 2025 1:04 AM

Hey welcome back! I recently came back too, good to see you around!

What new twist are you trying out here?

ConfluenceStable · Apr 16, 2025 12:00 PM

I've always just picked a base color and stuck with it. Back in the Shoco/Western Horse Game years it was palomino roan, and silver grullo roan. On the Forest server I did black liver chestnuts for ages, but when I wanted something new I altered all the livers, did a bunch of searches to see which were the LEAST popular colors/sizes and now I'm doing gulastra plume bay/brown sport ponies and switched from doing even generations to matching only the papers.

It feels REALLY strange to match papers, after decades of matching generations, and I haven't decided which way to go over here yet. I am going to do a GMT fandango! I have a nice dark silver bay stud, a liver boy, and I'm working on a champagne colt. I'm a huge fan of the darker shades.

ETA: I am also trying out a new naming protocol. Naming is my very FAVORITE thing! My breed name is Abara which is spirit in West African, and I'm using it as a last name for everything. So Suzy Abara, Billy Abara, Dominion Abara, etc. Just seeing if I like it.

ConfluenceStable · Apr 16, 2025 12:12 PM

Here's one of my best names from Forest: Unsolicited Richard

annismyrph · Apr 16, 2025 12:51 PM

Pretty boy! If he was here in Bluegrass I d be asking for straws lol

Fiddler · Apr 16, 2025 6:12 PM

Who are you on forest? Brown GP horses are my thing too

WhiteValley · Apr 17, 2025 5:26 AM

I'm with you on switching to matching paper levels. I'm a long term player who always matched generations before, but just two or three seasons ago I switched to paper levels, and like you, it seems very strange. I'm trying to cut down on breeding everything in sight to just having two lines on here. One is bay, with not too much white, as I just love how bay looks with all the changes Ammit has made. The other I have named my 'Danger Herd' and this has horses that carry white genes. I have enough hbs that I can take any losses caused by lethal genes. Again, I like the look of the updated white genes that Ammit has worked on. :)

ConfluenceStable · Apr 17, 2025 5:29 PM

@Fiddler I'm Summertree Farms (1998) on Forest. I also have a Confluence account over there.

@WhiteValley - I have limited myself to JUST pasture breeding on Forest. Large foal crops challenge my naming practice (name everything) and I verge on being overwhelmed. Over here on Bluegrass I am going to play around with all kinds of white! I've spent tons of time avoiding the potentially lethal whites now I'm going to go crazy!

@annismyrph, you get the liver boys name, right? Unsolicited Richard...pic?

annismyrph · Apr 17, 2025 6:05 PM

lol Yes!

WhiteValley · Apr 18, 2025 6:18 AM

You know we have a way to automatically rename horses don't you? I have always named my horses, even the spelded ones. Since the introduction of the name generator it has made it so much easier to name all my foals.

ConfluenceStable · Apr 18, 2025 3:17 PM

I've used the generator to add a suffix or prefix to a name, but I just have a blast coming up with @300 names every season!

amber · Apr 21, 2025 2:11 PM

Welcome back!
If I can help in any way to help you rebuild your stable I have some nice straws and eggs I can send you.

Forestshadow · Apr 21, 2025 2:22 PM

I have a thing for darker colors too. I love livers, I love dark bays and browns. I require all my breeding stock to have StySty.

ConfluenceStable · Apr 21, 2025 6:54 PM

Thanks @amber! @WhiteValley, I LOVE the Danger Herd! I think I'll call mine the Hazardous Herd

WhiteValley · Apr 22, 2025 5:07 AM

:D If the Danger Herd ever met the Hazardous Herd! >:)

ConfluenceStable · Apr 22, 2025 3:07 PM

We need to breed a Perfectly Awful Lethal White herd! (Yes, I used to be one of those people who would build killer roller coasters in Roller Coaster Tycoon!)

Fiddler · Apr 23, 2025 5:00 AM

If they’re dying how do you build a herd?

WhiteValley · Apr 23, 2025 5:31 AM

They don't all die. We're talking about horses that carry a heavy load of white and taking the risk that some of the foals will die, but others will survive. You need to be a big enough stable to take the risk of losing the hbs you spent on breeding.

paradoxphoenix · Apr 23, 2025 7:21 AM

Welcome back!

My original naming pattering on the game was Paradox [name] which is why my OH favorite mates were Paradox Superstitious and Paradox Pioneer
