Question: Do starter horses have one or two hidden coats?

Each horse has a visible set of traits , and a hidden Sub set of traits. Lets take these for example

Male
Coat: Silver Palomino
Eye: Violet
Mane: Normal
Tail: Normal

Lets say his sub traits are
Coat: Black Andalusian
Eye: Yellow
Mane: Long
Tail: Normal
Coat Gleam High
Coat Luster Low
Hair Luster Low
Coat Gloom

Female
Coat: Black Buckskin
Eye: Midnight blue
Mane: Normal
Tail: Normal

Lets say her sub traits are
Coat: silver Pinto
Eye: Violet
Mane: Braided
Tail: upright
Coat Luster High
Hair Luster Low
Hair Chill

If you mate them you could have a possible of

Coat: Silver Palomino, Black Andalusian, Black Buckskin, or silver Pinto
Eye: Violet, Yellow, Midnight Blue
Mane: Normal, Long, Braided
Tail: Normal, Upright
Coat Gleam Nothing, High
Coat Luster Nothing, Low
Hair Gleam Nothing
Hair Luster Nothing, Low
Coat Nothing ,Gloom
Hair Nothing, Chill

I hope this helps you understand more on how your pair of White Walkers can have a Mustang, as the traits sometimes stay hidden for awhile.

Do Grandparents traits count toward genes ?

Grandparents traits will only count if they were passed to their offspring, and the offspring passes them to their off spring.

We wanted to let people know a few things about Amaretto bundles. With the new 2.21 update there have been some changes made to try and prevent Bad Bundles.  One of those changes is that  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.  As stated in the update notecard horses will no longer birth more then one viable bundle within a 3 day period.

There will be no more twins

Here is a break down of what your Bundles can say, and what it means

“NEVER_RECEIVED_MOTHER_COMMUNICATION”

Didn’t receive the message from the mother.  The mother will have a second bundle if this occurs, the current bundle is a dud.  Wait a few hours before filing a ticket with these, it might not be necessary.

“Connecting…”

Typically unseen, this is what happens when the horse receives a message from the mother in its description.”ATTEMPTING_RECONNECTION”

“DUPLICATED_UNBIRTHED”

Means that somehow two copies of the same bundle existed in world.  File a ticket and we can fix it.

“MOTHER_HAD_SECOND_BUNDLE_IN_THREE_DAYS”

If for any reason a mother horse already had a bundle in the past 3 days, this prevents it from occuring.  We log these issues server side with the parental information, if you can’t find the mother’s bundle, file a ticket and we can try to find it.

“ALREADY_BIRTHED”

Rare, horse already birthed from bundle

“DUPLICATED_BIRTHED”

Rare, horse already birthed from bundle

“SUCCESSFUL_BUNDLE”

We all know what this means LOL

We have heard many concerns over what will happen with any bundles that are not version 2.0  or later,after March 5th.  To clarify , we will provide support for issues related to bundles (birthing and rezzing), but we will not fix bad bundles, as that is a 1.3 issue, so you do NOT need to birth older bundles before this time, but they will need to be updated after birthing. We hope this clears things up for everyone.

Latest Happenings

We have been getting tickets on horses that can not be clicked on or even taken into  your inventory. Apparently this is another SL issue, please file a ticket and be aware that we will more than likely have to do a house call to fix them. Please state clearly in your ticket if you can not take them into your inventory. I call them Statue Horses LOL

Let’s talk about pregnancy and the horses.
First an foremost the horse has to be age 7 in order to start building fervor. In order to build fervor when the horse turns age 7 it has to have happiness of 75% or above. To get happiness to this level you can either ride your horses or place out salt licks for them.  The salt licks give a small boost to happiness over time where riding horses gives the instant boost. Once your horse has reached 100% fervor you can put it within range of another horse that is 100% fervor and as long as they are both awake pregnancy should occur fairly quickly. Some people like to use the pairing method in order to get horses pregnant and others just put certain horses within range of one another and let “nature” take its course.
Once the horse become pregnant it will take 3 days before the bundle drops.  No the last one percent does not last longer than any other percent it just seems that way because we are all excited to see the bundle drop.  Once the bundle drops from the mare be patient as depending on Second Life and other issues it may take some time for it to connect to the database. If the bundle does not drop right away  that does not mean it is not going to drop. Check to be sure you have enough prims to allow the bundle to drop and if you do then just be patient as it may take some time. You will see the mother has gone into recovery even if she has not dropped her bundle yet, this is normal and does not mean you will not receive the bundle, think of it as a difficult delivery but don’t give up the bundle will come.  Once the bundle drops and you see that it has connected you can move it out from under the mare and get ready to birth it.  DO NOT open the bundle you will break it!  All you need to do is click on the bundle and when the blue drop down menu appears on your screen choose the Birth option from that menu.  Congratulations you are now the proud owner of a brand new baby foal!
I have noticed there are a lot of people who are just getting into the horses and I would like to call on all of you experienced Breeders/Owners to welcome them into the Amaretto Community.  When you see a person asking questions in the Ranch group take a moment to remember what it was like when you got your first horse and all the questions you had then.  Hopefully a moment of reflection will inspire you to reach out and help and in doing so bring joy into another persons life.
