Lets Pair up!

Hello everyone its a lazy Sunday! Hope you all are having a great weekend and are ready to kick off an awesome week!

I thought I would take some time and talk about breeding and pairing!
Many use pairing when you want 2 special specific breedables to mate!

Let’s go over the basic requirements of pairing your Amaretto Breedable.

Both breedables have to be the same version!
Please make sure your breedables are of breeding age!

Here are the steps on how to pair your breedable:
Click on your breedable you want to pair.
Click on Breeding in the drop down Menu
Click on Form Pairing or Companion.
Then you will type the name of the horse/K-9/Barnyard Bird in local that you wish to pair with.

Then you get a drop down menu asking you to confirm or cancel the pairing you would choose confirm

(Example)
In local chat it will say

Mike is now paired with Katie
Now your breedables are paired and will breed with each other when the time is right.

Remember once they breed pairing is automatically broken so if you wish the same 2 to breed again be sure to re-pair them.

Just like the beautiful fall leaves dropping from the trees the Fall Limited Editions are dropping quite a bit of beauty themselves.  Today has been an exciting day in the Amaretto groups as the 2014 Fall LE’s began dropping their 1st round of bundles and it was discovered that they could be hiding one of the amazing new horn colors!  These new horn colors will fit perfectly into many of the projects the community is working on as they match perfectly with many of the other traits!

The new horns that have been discovered are the Prism (which is Rainbow), Royal (which is Purple), Envy (which is Green) and Sunset (which is Orange).

Remember you can have a chance at one of these new horns by breeding your 2014 Fall Limited Editions with any other horse.  The 2014 Fall Limited Editions were on sale from October 3 – October 10, 2014. If you haven’t had a chance to see the beautiful new horns I have included pictures of each of them below.

Until next time Happy Breeding!

Happy Friday Everyone!! Hope everyone is having a good breeding day!!!

I wanted to tell you about the Confection Horses that have come out. You can get a Confection Horse by breeding together any two horses that have the Confection Eyes

These Confection Horses cannot pass their Coats, but breeding a Confection Horse with another Confection Horse or with any other horse with Confection Eyes you have a slightly increase chance for another Confection Horse.

The Confection Eye that is on a Confection Horse does have the ability to pass on.

So get you some Confection Eyes horses breeding together and try for a Confection Horse!! Good Luck Everyone!!

Happy Thursday Everyone!  We’ve had a lot of excitement in the past few weeks with the new update, new starters, new Haven Horses and the new Fall Limited Editions.  Today I wanted to shine my spotlight on a couple of new things that I keep seeing people ask about in the main Amaretto group.  These things came directly from the creativity of the Amaretto Community!

Back in June we held the Amaretto Country Fair and at the Country Fair we had 12 different raffles that the community was able to enter for a chance to win a special prize while all the proceeds went directly to Relay for Life.  Well I keep seeing people wondering where a couple of really cool new traits came from and I am happy to tell you that they were won by lucky members of the community at these raffles.

On one of the raffle boards you had the chance to win this: **Create your own Horse Eye** This eye will be all the winners design and come on the horse of your choice. The winner of this was stefane Klaber and he created the beautiful Sun & Moon eye that you see in the picture below.  This is a gorgeous design and one of the “must have” eyes on my list of must haves! Congratulations again to stefane for supporting RFL and for creating such a marvelous eye to share with the community!  Way to go stefane the Sun and Moon eye is awesome!

On another of the raffle boards you had the chance to win this: **Create your own Horse Branding** This branding will be all the winners design and come on the horse of your choice. The winner of this raffle was JonSnow2012 Resident and he created the beautiful Rainbow Star Branding that you see in the picture below.  This beautiful branding is the first color branding and if you haven’t seen it yet check out the picture below as it is just a gorgeous as it sounds!  Congratulations again to JonSnow for supporting RFL and for creating such a beautiful branding to share with the community!  Way to go JonSnow the Rainbow Star Branding is awesome!

There were plenty of other winners at the Amaretto Country Fair and you can see the list of winners at this link:

So the next time you think you want to be able to create your own trait for the Amaretto Horses, K-9s or Birds remember you never know some day you may get the chance to do just that!

 

Until next time, Happy Breeding!

That’s it!! You did it! You just filed a support ticket for your issue!!
