As this year slowly comes to an end, I thought it would be fun to take a look at a couple random drop eyes that came out, specifically in the Ponies. Amaretto has a way of surprising us in some amazing ways and the Happy New Years eyes that have come out as Random Drops on New Years Day are no exception.
Happy New Year 2018!
On the first of January 2018 Amaretto rang in the New Year by releasing a random drop eye! This eye was available for 24 hours on New Year Day. These eyes do pass so don’t worry, if you didn’t get one that day you still might be able to find them floating around out there.
Happy New Year 2019!
On the first of January 2019 Amaretto rang in the New Year by releasing a random drop eye! This eye was available for 24 hours on New Year Day. These great eyes do have the ability to pass.
You never know if a Random Drop will be released this year or not but whatever happens, stay safe out there while you welcome in 2022!!!
Merry Christmas to each and everyone of our wonderful breeders and families! I hope your Christmas is off to an amazing start!!
Today we are going to shine the spotlight on our Horses and the Sock trait. The Sock trait was introduced with the Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses that were on sale from February 7, 2013 through February 22, 2013.
On February 7, 2013 a twist to the Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses was announced. If you breed a Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses with a Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses you will have the ability to get a new trait called Socks.
From October 1, 2013 through October 9, 2013 the Limited Edition 2013 Fall Horses were on sale. By breeding these Limited Editions with any other horse you had the chance at getting 1 of 4 new Sock colors, Black, White, Green or Rainbow.
Spring Editions were available from March 20th, 2018 to Tuesday April 3, 2018! Hiding inside these Spring Editions was the Daisy & Plumeria Sock!
Please note that socks are an alternative to hoof traits so you may only have one or the other on a horse. A Null trait is an “Invisible trait”, a placeholder. These placeholders were implemented as a way to allow the breeder to have a maximum trait horse but still look the way they want it to look. The Sock trait CAN be passed on. For a closer look at socks check them out on the wiki at https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Socks
Until next time this is Snookie hoping you have a wonderful Christmas!
The reindeer , also known as the caribou in North America, is a species of deer native to Arctic, subarctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America. This includes both sedentary and migratory populations. Herd size varies greatly in different geographic regions. The Taimyr herd of migrating Siberian tundra reindeer in Russia is the largest wild reindeer herd in the world, varying between 400,000 and 1,000,000. What was once the second largest herd is the migratory boreal woodland caribou George River herd in Canada, with former variations between 28,000 and 385,000.
Male and female reindeer can grow antlers annually, although the proportion of females that grow antlers varies greatly between population and season. Antlers are typically larger on males. In late autumn or early winter after the rut, male reindeer lose their antlers, growing a new pair the next summer with a larger rack than the previous year. Female reindeer keep their antlers until they calve. In the Scandinavian and Arctic Circle populations, old males’ antlers fall off in late December, young males’ fall off in the early spring and females’ fall off in the summer. In traditional Christmas legend, Santa Claus’s reindeer pull a sleigh through the night sky to help Santa Claus deliver gifts to good children on Christmas Eve. So based on the timing of when the male antlers fall off, is it possible that ALL of Santa’s reindeer are actually female? What about Rudolph? A possible answer…while most male reindeer shed their antlers before Christmastime, the antlers of castrated male reindeer fall off at a different time. So, Santa’s reindeer could be female or castrated males. Watches as the guys cringe a little LOL.
In 2010. the very first year of Amaretto Horses, they released the first Christmas LEs, which included the Reindeer Horse. These horses could be born with any combination of traits from version 1.3 and below. The coats and eyes on these could NOT pass.
These LEs proved so popular that in 2013 Amaretto brought them back in the 2010 Retro Limited Editions. For 24 hours starting December 20th Amaretto Retro Edition 2010 & 2011 Throwback Packs were sold. The Reindeer eyes on these COULD pass. What made these even more special were the hidden surprises they held. By breeding any of that year’s holiday horses (2012, Retro 2011 or Retro 2010) to each other you could unlock these hidden surprises, red, green, pink, or blue bridles.
Then in 2016, we got an actual reindeer!.The 2016 Christmas LEs included Santa’s Reindeer, which had the Reindeer Games eye!. The coat on this LE did not pass, but the eye COULD pass. They were also hiding something surprising, the Overo Berry coat!
These LEs are so unique, I bet there are still long time breeders out there holding onto them. Maybe if you have been good, you can see them pulling Santa’s sleigh. Merry Christmas and Happy Breeding!

Hello everyone hope you are having an awesome Saturday and that your weekend is off to a great start! Today the spotlight is shining on the amazing Element Eyes & Elemental Horses!
First let’s take a look at these eyes! The Element Eyes are one set of many exciting possible Non-Starter eyes that can come from breeding Starter Coats.
Amaretto is great for occasionally tossing in a few twists and turns. It was definitely a twist when Amaretto added the Elemental Horses!
The Elemental Horses can be randomly birthed by breeding together any two horses that have Element Eyes.
Elemental Horses can NOT pass their coat. However breeding an Elemental Horse with another Elemental Horse or with any other horse with Element Eyes you will slightly increase your chance for another Elemental Horse.
“O Tannenbaum” is a German Christmas song. Based on a traditional folk song which was unrelated to Christmas, it became associated with the traditional Christmas tree by the middle of the 19th century and sung as a Christmas carol. The modern lyrics were written in 1824 by the Leipzig organist, teacher and composer Ernst Anschütz. A Tannenbaum is a fir tree. The lyrics do not actually refer to Christmas, or describe a decorated Christmas tree. Instead, they refer to the fir’s evergreen quality as a symbol of constancy and faithfulness.
Anschütz based his text on a 16th-century Silesian folk song by Melchior Franck, “Ach Tannenbaum”. August Zarnack in 1819 wrote a tragic love song inspired by this folk song, taking the evergreen, “faithful” fir tree as contrasting with a faithless lover. The folk song first became associated with Christmas with Anschütz, who added two verses of his own to the first, traditional verse. The custom of the Christmas tree developed in the course of the 19th century, and the song came to be seen as a Christmas carol. Anschütz’s version still had treu (true, faithful) as the adjective describing the fir’s leaves (needles), harking back to the contrast to the faithless maiden of the folk song. This was changed to grün (green) at some point in the 20th century, after the song had come to be associated with Christmas.
Last Christmas, on Dec 16, 2020 until January 1st, 2021 Amaretto released 2020 Holiday Edition Animals! You could purchase these at any Amaretto location!
You did not have to breed these animals together to get an awesome surprise! These surprises were two brand new coats the Yule Bay and the Cedar Shetland!
The Coats on the 2020 Holiday Edition Horses DO NOT pass.
The Eyes on the 2020 Holiday Edition Horses DO have the ability to pass! They were the Gift Wrap eye, and of course the O Tannenbaum
Maybe you put these eyes on some of your horses. Happy Breeding!
