Todays blog is just to clarify some info that some have been asking about in the group the question and the answer are simple really

Are Buckskins Traits?

The answer is really simple they are not traits every Buckskin are starter horses  they are not traits….

Also again I will note this in my blog some people have been saying there food and salt licks are going alot faster but there is no issues with the food or salt licks I am going

to add some math in here to help people figure out how much food they should be using.

1 food will last 1 horse 1 month lets say you have 200 horses well in that case it would be 200 food a month

so lets see how many a day you should use

200 foods divided by 30 days 6.7 so add that up you will be using 7 foods a day

This week my comsumable is the Passion Pill .
This one time use pill will increase one of your horses fervor by 10%.
You can still give  a horse under 7 a passion pill and it will gain fervor which is 10%.
This stat booster can only be used on a horse once in a 24 hour period
1. Open boxed Passion Pills and rez next to the horse you wish to increase the energy.

2. Click the horse and go to the consumables option on the menu.

3. Find Passion Pills from the options on the menu and click it.

Once the horses stats have been updated the Passion Pills bottle will disappear
See you next week with another consumable .

This week I am going to talk about 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 !
I hope this helps you all out  until next week with another consumable !

       This week I am going to start the first in a series of blog posts about the different consumables. We will start things off talking about the most important one FOOD.  We have never said an exact number of horses to place around 1 food, but I am going to go out on a limb here and recommend you place no more than 10 horses around 1 food.

      We do a lot of house calls where we see many, many horses eating off of one food container and once the horses are moved and spaced out a little it seems to make a difference.  Feel free to make your own judgment on how many you feel comfortable with eating off of the same food, but if you notice any issues try reducing the number around a food and see if it helps. Your horses will eat once every hour. If food is not present their hunger and thirst will rise until it reaches 100% at which time they will get sick. This can take 3 days. A Healing Kit can be used to heal your horses or with the latest update they can eat themselves out of hunger, which takes approximately 3 days. Breeder Food is for horses you wish to breed once they reach 7 days old.
Pet Food is to be used when you do not not wish to breed your horses. If you decide to breed your horse after feeding it Pet Food, it will take 7 days on Breeder Food for the effects of the Pet Food to wear off.

1. Rez the food/water within your horses set range. (a horse’s default range is 5 meters)
2. Click the food/water to change options and see remaining %. Options include Owner only, Group only, and All.
Owner only: Will only be consumed by the owners horses.
Group only: Will only be consumed by horses in the same group as the food/water is set to.
All: Any horse within range of the food/water will be able to consume it.

Once the food/water has been completely consumed it will disappear.

One of the main topics of the tickets we receive is about horses not eating. If you are having issues with your horse not eating please try the following tricks before filing a ticket.
1. Re-rez fixes 99% of the issues.
2. If the land is set to a group, are the horses and food set to that group?
3. If the land isn’t set to a group, are the horse and food set to the same group as each other?
4. Check to see if the horse is set to the type of food out (more stats)
5. Re-set home position.
6. Sometimes giving them a Horsey Snack will help them start to eat so you may also want to try this. Remember your horses only eat once every 43 minutes so you may not notice a change immediately, be patient it takes 3 days for a horse to reach 100% hunger.

****REMEMBER TO RESET HOME POSITION IF YOU EDIT MOVE YOUR HORSE****
****IT IS BEST TO RE-REZ YOUR HORSE NEXT TO THE FOOD INSTEAD OF EDITING IT OVER****

Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to take the time to bring all the new people up to date on how the Amaretto Horses work. First of all I would love to say welcome to all the new people that have been joining the group and the ones that are new to the horses in general. The horses came out in Sept of last year and since then has become a big thing with the breedable community. I will be taking the time to talk about bundles, food, salt licks, and how the breeding works.

Bundles:
When your horse has a bundle or you just buy a bundle from the store some do not realize but you have to click the bundle and hit birth everyone thinks well most items we buy in sl we have to open if your new to breeding this is a very common mistake that can happen just remember if you do make this mistake and your a new breeder file a ticket and we will help you out. Always remember… click the bundle and hit birth and then yes to confirm the birth.

Food:
There are 2 different types of food depending on what your outlook for the horses is. You can have them as just a pet if you wish, if this is the case, you can use pet food for this. Pet food will keep the horse fed but at the same time it does take the breeding aspect away.  Don’t worry…  if you decide later on you want to breed the horse, you can just change the food type to breeder food and place out the breedable food. It will take 7 days once a horse is switched from pet food to breeder food to start gaining fervor if all other conditions are right 🙂  With breedable Food, this type of food is perfect for all those who want to breed horses. Breedable food will allow your horse to gain the fervor it needs to have bundles so you can get offspring from your horse 🙂

Salt Licks:
Salt Licks are used to help with Happiness they will help your horse gain the correct happiness it needs to start gaining fervor remember if your horse is on pet food you do not really need the salt licks unless you just want it to be happy. Salt licks do not make the horse gain fervor like some do believe, they just help them gain the happiness.

How Breeding Works:
All horses have a submissive  gene and a dominant gene, if you take two white walkers and put them together you may not get a white walker in return because they have a hidden gene that is called the sub this has a chance to pass to the offspring just as well as the dom does. Just because you might say my horse is pure well there is always that chance it does have a sub gene of a different coat that will pass.

I do also want to touch base on one more thing before I let you all go… I have had some people telling me “I am birthing all girls. Why am I not birthing any boys?” Since the beginning the males have always been more rare then the females hence they are harder to get. You can say “Well I have birthed 5 girls in a row. One should have been a male!”  This is not the case. You should remember it’s not just you birthing the bundles it’s every single breeder out there that is also birthing bundles so there is a very good chance you will birth more females then males.

Please note below is a list of starter coats and eyes. Starters are considered any horse that is birthed directly from a starter bundle which come from any of the starter packs sold at the Amaretto stores.
Please note, Appaloosas are now a retired coat. Which means they will no longer be available through the starter packs but can be bred through existing appaloosas or horses with this gene.
