I watched the group discussion about “retired” coats this
morning and decided to try to clear up some
confusion about when Amaretto puts things
Out to Pasture (our version of retiring coats/eyes/traits).
Let’s start by listing what is Out to Pasture:
Out to Pasture Starter Coats
Appaloosa Black
Appaloosa Brown
Appalossa Tan
Appaloosa Grey
Out to Pasture Non-Starter Coats
Black Walker
Brown Walker
Red Walker
Silver Walker
Tan Walker
White Walker
Out to Pasture Charmed Horses
Charmed Demon – Demon Eyes (Blood)
Charmed Pegacorn - Pegacorn Eyes (Rainbow)
Out to Pasture Albino Eyes
Hazel Blue
Hazel Pink
Multi Green Blue
Multi Brown Blue
Rainbow
Now what does this mean exactly?
**On the Starter Coat that has been put Out to Pasture, it means you will
never buy a Starter/Breeder/Ranchers pack of horses from the Amaretto
stores that contains this coat. The only way of obtaining an Appaloosa
is if a horse you are breeding has the Appaloosa trait somewhere in
its lineage.
**On the Non-Starter Coat that has been put Out to Pasture, it means you
will never buy a Starter/Breeder/Ranchers pack of horses from the Amaretto
stores that contains the Walkers as a hidden coat. The only way of obtaining
a Walker is if a horse you are breeding has the Walker trait somewhere in its
lineage.
**Now the Out to Pasture Charmed are a little different. Since Charmed
horses are random and do not pass on their coats when we put Charmed horses
Out to Pasture it means there will never be another one of those Charmed
dropped on the grid. So there is no chance of getting the Charmed Demon
or the Charmed Pegacorn any longer because they are Out to Pasture.
**The Albino eyes originally come from Albino horses but can pass on to other
horses. So when Albino eyes are put Out to Pasture it means that when an
Albino is birthed on the grid it will never have any of the Out to Pasture
eyes. The only way of obtaining these eyes is if a horse you are breeding
has them somewhere in its lineage.
**You should also note that when things are put Out to Pasture it does not
automatically make them a trait.
If it wasn’t considered a trait to begin with, well it is still not
considered a trait.
The easy way to remember this is ….Once a starter ALWAYS a starter.
I hope this helps clear up some of the confusion about things that are
now Out to Pasture.
Happy Breeding everyone!!
