Amaretto Breedables Customer Connection

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

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Thong Paine. He has Amaretto Barnyards & in The Amaretto Barnyard Bird Group, so when you see him give him a big hello . Thank you Throng for a great interview !

Please tell the community a little about yourself. Where you are from and what brought you to Second Life?
Well I have been in SL for about 9 years. Took a few months off because I had a stroke in RL but can’t keep a good man down. I am from the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I was introduced to SL by a Gammer Radio Station I worked at as a DJ called Split Infinity. I have been here ever sense.

Which Amaretto Breedables do you own?
I own Chickens now but had horses. I guess it is the love of eggs in RL that interest me in the Baryard Birds. Loved the Horses but when I came back I just chose to do the Chickens.

How did you get started in breedables?
I was here for the sion Chickens and never looked Back. To me it is like scratching a Lottery ticket… Never know what you will get.

Do you own other breedables besides Amaretto?
Not yet, I have pre-ordered the Fawns.
What special projects are you working on right now with your Amaretto Barnyard Birds?
I am trying to get a good bunch of BOTL birds. I am also trying to get the last Crazed Coat and what makes it kind of special is that they start on May 5th and that is my RL birthday so, maybe that will give me some luck.

What is your favorite Amaretto Breedable ? I love the Barnyard Birds.

What are some other things that you enjoy doing in Second Life when you’re not taking care of your breedables?
I am a DJ although after my Stroke, I have yet to get back into it here in SL. I like going to Clubs every now and again.

There you go ! I am including some pictures of Thongs special Amaretto Barnyard Birds !

Until next week Happy Breeding !

Happy Thursday Everyone!! Well it’s been a couple weeks since last we were on our journey through the Amaretto Alphabet and here we all are waiting anxiously to see what surprises the Mother’s Day Editions are hiding!  Always so much fun seeing everyone discover the hidden surprises!  Well fun for me anyway!  Remember the Mother’s Day Editions are only on sale until May 13th so you better get them while you can!

So this week let’s move on to the next letter in the Amaretto Alphabet!

P is for ……………………………… Puppy Paradise!!!

Puppy Paradise is a great way to send those unwanted or unneeded K-9’s off to a special place and in return you can earn Kennel Cash that you can use to purchase items from Puppy Paradise!! You can find a Puppy Paradise vendor at any Amaretto Ranch K-9 store location with the exception of the main K-9 location because we have the Amaretto Haven sim located right next door!

The Puppy Paradise Kennel Cash Reward system will reward you for your K-9’s in the following way:

• In addition to the above Kennel Cash you will also be rewarded the following for the traits on each K-9 sent to Puppy Paradise :

Here we have the costs in Kennel Cash for the items Currently Available from the vendor (all items are subject to change without notice including prices and availability)

How to Use your Kennel Cash: Simply go to the any of our store locations and find the Puppy Paradise Vendor, Click the start button on the bottom right of the vendor. Your current amount of Kennel Cash will be displayed in local chat. After clicking the Start button and reviewing your Kennel Cash balance you have 60 seconds of reserved time to make a selection from the vendor. Once you have made your selection you will need to agree to spending that many points on that item. If you agree you will then receive your item from the vendor and the Kennel Cash will be deducted from your Puppy Paradise account. To make another purchase simply do it again.

REMEMBER:  ONCE A K-9 IS SENT TO PUPPY PARADISE IT IS UNRECOVERABLE

Until next time, Happy Breeding!!!

Until Next Time………..

Hey everyone and happy Saturday!I Hope you are all having a great weekend! Today I wanted to take this time to cover the racing traits!!These 2 little traits can add so much fun and enjoyment to your horses!

So if you have not got you a horse with the racing traits I suggest you “race” right out and find you one and get to training!! The remainder of my blog will explain exactly what the racing traits will do for you horse and how you can train them to be the best racers they can be!!

The HUD

You can find the HUD by touching the horse then Help then Get Hud

The HUD can only connect to one horse at a time.
Your Avatar can wear only one HUD at a time.

Connecting Your Horse
Attach HUD
Attach Horse
Connect Horse to HUD by pressing Connect Button in the Main Menu of the HUD

Disconnecting Your Horse
Press Disconnect button in the Main Menu of the HUD

How to Train
Enter Training Mode by clicking Training in the Racing Menu

Select Speed or Stamina from the drop menu

Move using the arrow keys or w a s d keys
You are now Training your horse (XP gain only occurs while you are moving with the horse)

Click Training in the Racing Menu again to Exit Training (Training will also end automatically when the horse has reached its daily limit based on its stamina class)

You can only train your horse ONCE daily for the amount of time allotted by the Horses Class and only in one category (speed or stamina)per day.

Ex. I trained my Class D horse for 30 minutes on speed today so I will have to wait for 24 hours before I can train it again for stamina.

Speed means the sprinting speed of a horse.

Speed is ranked using the following Class system:
S = 3x Avie Run Speed (ARS) {Highest Possible Class} 50 minutes of training time
A = 2.5x ARS 45 minutes of training time
B = 2x ARS 40 minutes of training time
C = 1.5x ARS 35 minutes of training time
D = ARS {Lowest Possible Class}30 minutes of training time
STAMINA
Stamina = The amount of time a horse can sprint without recharging . Stamina is ranked using the following Class system:
S = 50s of sprinting and 50 minutes of training time
A = 45s of sprinting and 45 minutes of training time
B = 40s of sprinting and 40 minutes of training time
C = 35s of sprinting and 35 minutes of training time
D = 30s of sprinting and 30 minutes of training time
Class D is where horses start
Classes S,A,B,C, and D are trainable and passable

XP
XP is gained through training your horse in a given field (speed or stamina) to move from one class to the next you must train from 0% to 100% in the current Class of that field.
XP Gains as follows:
Class D gains XP @ .5% per minute of training
Class C gains XP @ .4% per minute of training
Class B Gains XP @ .3% per minute of training
Class A Gains XP @ .1% per minute of training
Class D is where horses start
Classes S,A,B,C, and D are trainable and passable.

**It is important to note that once a horse with racing traits is retired (past the age of 120 days) not only will it be unable to breed, but you will also not be able to train or race a retired horse. **

Until next week Happy Breeding!

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Troyj Klaar he is in the Amaretto Groups so when you see him give him a big hello .

Please tell the community a little about yourself. Where you are from and what brought you to Second Life?
I am originally from the DC area but migrated north to the panhandle of WV about 10 years ago.

Which Amaretto Breedables do you own?
I mainly breed the Amaretto Horses, I have a couple of K9’s but really just getting started on them.

How did you get started in breedables?
I started breeding with my SL daughter Jayd (rl friend for about 15 years now) and my partner Dela a little more than a month and a half ago. Jayd had bred in the past and introduced me to the Amaretto community and the amazing horses.

Do you own other breedables besides Amaretto?
I do own a BioBreed Husky, and a BattleBeast Dragon (who guards my horses!)

What special projects are you working on right now with your Amaretto Horses?
Currently we have a few projects in the works, but my current favorite is the Disney Princesses we are working on. Those should be very nice once completed.
What is your favorite Amaretto Breedable ?
I would have to say of all the Breedables, the Amaretto horses are my favorite. The amazing color combinations I have seen others create, as well as the amazing trend ponies that I have seen always give me ideas for future projects.

What are some other things that you enjoy doing in Second Life when you’re not taking care of your breedables?
I enjoy exploring and making new friends. I am a very sociable person, as well as a psychology major, so I love talking to interesting people.

My favorite horses are my first haven horse Kaila, and my haven horse Darkness.
