Salt Licks

What are Salt licks for ?
Salts licks increase your horses happiness 1% over time.
Salt licks are used as a buffer to help with breeding.
The horses don’t need it before they are of breeding age,
 so you may want to save the salt lick till then.
The Salt Lick helps to increase the happiness of the horse.
It only needs to be used when you are trying to increase
the Fervor of the horse for breeding
and do not have the time to ride them to increase their happiness.

How long does Salt  Licks last ?
One Salt Lick last two horses two weeks .
We do NOT recommend having out more than one Salt Lick
the boosts will not stack.

Where do I put my Salt lick  ? Set your salt licks in range
with horses near  food and water .

How do I setup my Salt licks ?
Click salt lick choose  either Owner Only ,Group Only, or All.
Owner Only – Horses that only the owner owns
Group Only – Horses within the same group
All – All  horses that are around  salt licks.

Remember when the salt licks are all consumed it  will disapprear
 like POOF !

Horse Haven Vendor

This week I want to use my time on the Customer Connection to talk to you about the Horse Haven Vendor.  It is very important that you wait for the vendor to rez completely for you before making your purchase as ALL purchases are Final.  We will not exchange the items for you if you purchase in error.  All the items on the vendor have their own button and it is very important that you make sure the item you click is the one you mean to purchase.

We would also like to remind everyone that it is critical for you to re-rez any horse you purchase before trying to send it to Horse Haven.  This is to ensure that the horse registers the correct owner allowing the Haven points to be credited to the correct person.

You can check your Horse Haven points at any of these vendors just by clicking the vendor.  You can also check your points by going to the Haven sim and clicking the giant chess piece.

 

New Haven Horse Eagle Spirit

Haven Horse Eagle Spirit has soared into the Haven Vendors!  We have added this new Haven Horse to all the Horse Haven vendors for purchase with your Horse Haven points. The Haven Horse Eagle Spirit is different from the Memorable Haven Horse not only in appearance but also in that they may possibly have the different mane and tail traits (Normal, Long, Upright, Upright Long & Braided). These also have the ability to pass the mane and tail traits! The coats and eyes will NOT pass. Like the Memorable Haven Horse, the Haven Horse Eagle Spirit can also slightly increase your odds of getting a Charmed Horse!  This new Haven Horse is in addition to the Memorable Haven Horse and we will not be removing either from the vendor anytime soon!!

Available at the Amaretto Store Locations & the Horse Haven Sim!!

 

Bundles !!!

If there is any interference (with Second Life , the Amaretto Server, lag etc.) when the mare goes to drop her bundle she will go into recovery but the bundle will not automatically drop. The mare will try to contact the server again and if all the conditions are favorable the bundle will then drop. Depending on the issues stated this may take some time so just be patient.

Let the mother horse stay where she is until it drops. If for some reason a good bundle does not drop, file a ticket and include the mothers UUID.

If you get a bundle that says Mother had second bundle in three days, and the mother has also had a good bundle, you can just delete the bad one without filing a ticket. If the mother didn’t have a good bundle then again, file a ticket with the mothers UUID number listed on it.

Hope this helps a little, and may all your bundles be good ones !

As you all know we launched new starters last week and that time is nearing when the first bundles will begin to drop and new traits will begin to appear. Today you got the news about just one of the many surprizes in store! A Red Painted Clydesdale was born on the grid today!
Tonight we want to give some helpful tips about getting to those traits just a bit more quickly while saving your L doing it! When you send you beloved horses to Haven although parting is sweet sorrow it can also bring Happiness and Fervor!
When you birth a bundle you can begin to add consumables right away…so by the time the baby is 7 and ready to start breeding it can be at 100% fervor! This saves time!

Once a horse  is pregnant you can also give the consumables so when it has come out of recovery it can be at 100% fervor and ready to mate once again.
How can you accomplish this without spending too much L? Haven Points! By trading in your not so great  bundles and horses that you are not so pleased with you gain Haven Points that can be traded in at the Haven vendors for many things including consumables.
One Amaretto Cocktail and One Amaretto Passion Pill can add a total of 15% fervor per day! That can add up quick!
So when you want to get to that bundle quickly get to the Haven Vendor and use those points for a lot of Happiness and Fervor!
Happy Breeding Everyone! May the Charmed and Traits be with you 🙂

Albino Clydesdale


Well there was another Amaretto surprise today!! The Albino Clydesdale!!! Getting the Albino Clydesdale is basically just like getting the regular Albinos …except at least one of the full siblings has to be a Clydesdale.

How do you get an Albino?
Albinos come from full siblings. This means it has to be the same mother and same father not half father or half mother. It is NOT true that the Siblings  have to have the same traits to give you an Albino, that is not true at all.
How do you get an Albino Clydesdale?
Albinos come from full siblings and to get an Albino Clydesdale atleast one of the full siblings has to be a Clydesdale.
Can Albinos pass their coat?
No. They cannot pass their coat but they can produce another Albino if you put them with their sibling. Remember, there is no other way to get an Albino except from siblings.
Can Albinos pass their eyes?
YES, the eyes on the Albinos can pass.
Although I cannot give you what the odds are of getting an Albino from a sibling pair I can tell you that not every bundle from siblings will be an Albino.

Are there more surprises from Amaretto to come ………..always 😛

Tuesdays With Richie!!

I have watched the chat in the main Amaretto Group for hours on end since the update was released last night and I would like to talk tonight about Warmth and Chill.  I have seen so many of you saying that we should have asked the community, well in all honesty it was the community that told us they wanted this changed.  When we first released the warmth and chill into the horses we received so many complaints about them, the community was truly upset about the fact that chill was purple and warmth was pink. So we listened and made arrangements to fix this at the first opportunity…which would be the next update.  Now the new update is out and the changes have been made and once again there is a large portion of the community that is unhappy. The staff is saddened that so many of you are upset by this change and we hope that you can give them a chance as we think once they’ve been out for awhile you will come to love the change as much as we do!

Now to clear up about the Charmed’s that were retired.  There will no longer be any Charmed Demon or Charmed Pegacorns born on the grid.  However, the Demons and Pegacorns like any other Charmed will have a slightly higher chance at producing another random Charmed.  The Albino eyes that were retired just means that no Albino will be born with those eyes any longer but the ones on the grid already still have the ability to pass.  I hope this clears up some of the confusion about the update and the entire team thanks you for your continued support of Amaretto Breedables.
