Heartwarming Letter from Autism Facility

Filed Under : All,Amaretto Announcements,Fund Raisers by Josie

Jun.16,2011

Hi everyone! We received a letter from the facility that Richie, Tm & maleficent visited in New York to present the Autism Awareness Check too with a very heart warming story and I just had to share it with you the community! It made all of us staff feel very good knowing that YOU, the Amaretto Community made such a big impact on the lives of so many children! Grab the tissues and read the email below…

Hello Amaretto Community,
I just wanted to say hi and that I am thinking about what you and your friends at Amaretto Ranch Breedables have done to help so many STAT families!
I just recently sent out our 708th voucher! (and we haven’t even hit the Summer session yet…) I think this is when you say “Whoa!” 🙂
Thank you again and again!
Here’s a story about Johnny. He rides at Country Meadows Equine Park in Walton.
Johnny is 9 and has Autism. He is non verbal. Doctors have told his Mom that he will never speak and that she should just start teaching him American Sign Language.
Johnny has severe behavior issues – if you can imagine having no voice and just having to throw tantrums to get anyone’s attention…
Johnny rides every week and behaves very well when on the horse. so after every riding session, Laura, the riding instructor, gives Johnny an ice cream sandwich as a nice treat (and Johnny loves ice cream)
After several weeks of riding, two weeks ago, Johnny dismounts his horse, looks at Laura, and says to Laura “ice cream sandwich!”
……..and that’s all I have to say about that!
last week he says “Hi Mom!”, “Go!” and his horse’s name (whose name I forgot…. 🙁 —— so much for Johnny never speaking huh
I figured that would make your day. It made my month!
I would like to forward you some thank you letters from parents, would you like that?
Forever in your debt,
Cat

About The CHARMED Demon Horses

Filed Under : All,Horse Limited Editions by Josie

Jun.14,2011

This notice is to address the recent issues with the Charmed Demon Horse. This horse IS a charmed horse. It was not intended to pass it’s coat as a normal horse would. There was a glitch that occurred in the server when we switched from our old server to our new one. This glitch was brought to our attention and has been corrected. As with any glitch, when they are discovered they will be fixed. The Demon horse is now as any other charmed horse in regards to its possibility of passing it’s coat.

There are currently 6 different types of charmed horses:

Pegacorn
Pegasus
Unicorn
Robo Unicorn
Demon Horse
Nightmare Clydes

How charming are they exactly? Well the first myth is that charmed horses can pass their coats this is not true, they will not pass their coats, their eyes, or any other specific traits for any one particular charmed.

Charmed horses do have a slight increased chance of giving birth to another charmed however, this increase is not in the normal coat charmed offspring babies, but only the actual charmed babies from a charmed horse have a greater chance to get another charmed.
If you have a charmed horse that is missing a horn or a wing you need to file a ticket for this horse it is not any more special than other charmed that has these things, but it was a glitch in the older bundles but will be fixed in the next update.

I hope that everyone has a great week! I wish you all long, longs with many traits!! Happy Breeding everyone!!

If a charmed horse is bred with another horse of any type, or with another charmed, will yield a greater chance of having a charmed, however, when their descedents breed (if they aren’t charmed) will not garner the increased chance.

Charmed + Charmed= higher chance
Charmed + Non Charmed = higher chance
Offspring of Charmed (non charmed) + Offspring of Charmed (non charmed) = no higher chance than a normal non charmed horse

THANKS!!!!

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk about the Q & A section on the website.
As some have noticed there is a Questions and Answers section on the site that everyone can use to ask a question and get answers from one another in the community and then You the community can vote on the best answer.
The system works on points as some people will have more points than others this means that they are posting many answers to questions!
Points Table is as follows:
5 Points for your answer being chosen as best answer
1 point for asking a question
1 point for posting an answer
1 point for giving an answer a thumbs up
and if your answer was given a thumbs down you will lose a point 🙁

On a side note the points on the Q & A are aesthetic only and do not translate into anything yet but we will correct anyone trying to ‘game’ points or attacking anyone with the thumbs down feature.
Now the fun part posting a question!
First if you have a question you would like feedback from the comunity on click on the Q&A button on the top bar and you will be taken to the questions page ( you can also search questions if your want to be sure no one else has posted the same question! )
Now click on the ask a question button to be taken to the page to type your question. Give it a title and type out your question the category is always questions and you can upload a photo to help if needed.
Once you hit submit your question will be posted to the question pool ( back where you pushed Ask a Question ) where people can post answers and later on you can give someone the honor of having the best answer ( comes with 5 points to them ).
If you don’t see your question after a while on the front list just hit My Questions and it will show you every question ever asked.
I hope this helps everyone and I cant wait to see some of the questions asked.
Until next Sunday this is Tmzasz ( going back to working on the website! )
P.S. The CSS for custom profiles will be ready soon be sure to watch the announcements for it!

How To Get Elemental Horses

Filed Under : All,Horse Information,Horse Limited Editions by maleficent Farshore

Jun.11,2011

Elemental Horses can only come by breeding a male and female with Element eyes. The Element eyes are Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Heart. They do not have to be the same Elements.

The Elemental horses that can be birthed will not have the particles like the ones given away at the Amaretto Social Gala, those Elemental horses were One of a Kind! The coats on the Elemental Horses that will be born will look just like the One of a Kind Gala horses just without the particles.

The Elemental Horses are not Limited Edition Horses. They are best compared to the Albinos, you just need to breed 2 Element eyes together for the Elemental Horses and you need to breed 2 Full Siblings together for the Albinos. I will include the text of the notecard that was sent out on the Elemental Horses yesterday below. Good luck to everyone in breeding for the new edition to the Amaretto Horses …the Elemental Horses !!

What are the Elemental Horses?
• Elemental Earth
• Elemental Fire
• Elemental Heart
• Elemental Water
• Elemental Wind

How do you get the Elemental Horses?
To have a chance at getting one of the Elemental Horses, you must breed two horses that have the Element Eyes. They do not have to be the same Element eye, they just need to both be Element Eyes. They DO NOT need to be siblings or anything else, they need ONLY have Element eyes.

Do the Elemental Horses pass their coats?
The Elementals are like the Albinos in that they do not pass their coats. However, breeding an Elemental horse to another Elemental Horse or even breeding an Elemental Horse to another horse with Element eyes increases your chances of getting another Elemental horse. The Elemental coat you receive will be chosen at random.

The 5 Elemental Horses given away as prizes at the Amaretto Social Gala are ONE OF A KIND!
The Elemental Horses that you will be able to breed for will NOT have the particle option that the ones given away have. This makes these 5 Elemental Horses the ONLY Horses of this kind on the grid! Congratulations to the Winners of these special horses.

remember you only need to put in the last word do not put in this also http://amarettobreedables.com/profile/ as it will give you an error!
