Spring is near!!

Hey guys how is everyone today? I was looking everywhere on the Internet for poems about spring when I found this one I really liked:

You’re not really mad
Or angry or bad.

For April and May.

Spotlight on March Crazed

Happy Thursday!! In today’s Spotlight I have the exciting privilege of shining the spotlight on the March Crazed Coats!  Last month’s Crazed Walkers and Crazed Beagles were a BIG hit but this month’s Crazed are JUST as super cute!

 

The Crazed Appaloosa and Crazed Pug have arrived and I cannot wait for you all to see them!  Beginning on March 5, 2015 until April 5, 2015 you can breed any color Appaloosa horses together for the chance of getting one of the Crazed Coat Appaloosa.  The Crazed Coats all come with the End of the Rainbow eye which is gorgeous! The coats all have cute names too!

Blue Raspberry Crazed Coat Appaloosa

Green Apple Crazed Coat Appaloosa

Plum Crazed Coat Appaloosa

Rhubarb Crazed Coat Appaloosa

Tangerine Crazed Coat Appaloosa

Watermelon Crazed Coat Appaloosa

 

 

Also on this same time frame, March 5, 2015 until April 5, 2015 you can breed any color Pugs together for the chance of getting one of the Crazed Coat Pugs.  The Crazed Coat Pugs all come with the End of the Rainbow eye and the Rainbow Crazed Collar.  The coats on these also have cute names!

Blue Raspberry Crazed Coat Pug

Green Apple Crazed Coat Pug

Plum Crazed Coat Pug

Rhubarb Crazed Coat Pug

Tangerine Crazed Coat Pug

Watermelon Crazed Coat Pug

 

The best part about the Crazed Coats is that with the horses the coat and eye DOES have the ability to pass and with the Crazed Coats in the K9s the coat, eye and collar DOES have the ability to pass!

 

It’s not too late if you don’t have Appaloosa or Pugs breeding to try for these new coats get them birthed and get going!  Good luck!

Until next time Happy Breeding!!!

Fact or Fiction!

Hey guys its Ava! I wanted to talk about Amaretto Myths! I went in the group and asked for a few to talk about today.

The first myth I got was:

waking up horses affect what the bundles will be ?

This is absolutely not true! It doesn’t matter if you horse was asleep and woken or your horse was awake already, this has no bearing on what traits your bundle will get.

Second myth:
if the male is between 80 and 86 happiness when he breeds the bundle will be better

This is not true stats of a horse will not effect which traits the bundle will have its all in the back ground!
3rd Myth:
A ghost horn

If you have a horse with a untextured white horn on its head this is not a trait and will not pass. If it is not listed in the stats then it does not have the horn trait. This is a simple fix file a ticket and a Amaretto CSR will take care of this issue for you.
Don’t forget there is a Myth Busters class at ARU, and we have a graduation coming up its not to late to join the classes!

myth-busted

There is one more issue that I want to talk to everyone about, spam! There are a few Amaretto groups that you are allowed to advertise in.

It seems lately people are not noting the charter:
~Amaretto Advertising Network~
This is where you can advertise your AMARETTO RANCH BREEDABLES ONLY for sale. You can chat about your breedables here; post them for sale, for trade and or give-a-way! Feel free to advertise your stores/booths no matter their location.
The posting limit for this group is 1 group IM per hour and 1 notice per 2 hours.
THE MAXIMUM IS 4 ADS PER DAY!!!!
Some breeders have their bots spamming every hour this will get you ejected and banned from all Amaretto groups. Lets observe all the rules in the charter!

This is Ava over and out! Breed on breeders breed on!

Spotlight on the Beauty of Matching Traits!

Happy Thursday!  While preparing to write my Spotlight today I was looking back over my old Spotlights and decided it was time to bring it back around full circle.  I started off Spotlighting my different projects that I was working on and this morning I saw a couple of horses posted in group that inspired me to write this Spotlight!

Taking the traits available to you and combining them on one horse has been a project many have been working on for a long time.   I know I for one have had a hard time getting my horses to cooperate on the combinations I was going for so when I see you all post yours in the group I am beyond impressed!  The two horses posted today were extremely impressive and I just knew I had to share them with you.

I know many of you love to combine the matching traits so I encourage you to show them off in group!  Myself and the community love to share the successes of others and knowing how hard it is to accomplish some of the goals it makes it even more fun to see your amazing babies posted in group.

Remember that St. Patrick’s day is right around the corner and I am looking forward to see all the green traits you all can get on one horse!  Be sure to send me pictures if you have a baby you are extremely proud of you never know it might end up in the Spotlight!!

Now to the stars of this Spotlight!  MiaKodah Resident had this lovely horse today and I can’t tell you how pretty it is I just have to show you the stats and you can scroll down and see the beauty for yourself in the picture below!
