Ponie Bandana!

Hey guys! Its Tuesday and it just happens to be the last day of June! We are officially in the summer swing! I know its warm around here!

Since the release of the new Ponie update lots of really cool Ponie traits have been coming out and i just wanted to share one with everyone today and that is the Bandana trait!

Red Paisley

Rainbow

Leopard

How do you get your hands on one of these? Well hopefully you bought some new Ponie starters when they were released! But if you didn’t the good news is that you can still go get some!

These awesome Bandanas DO have the ability to pass! I think that these are really cute so keep your eyes out for Bandanas!

This is Ava over and out happy breeding everyone!

Albino Miniature!

Hello everyone! Its another Magnificent Monday! How is everyone today? I hope that you guys are safe and healthy.

I wanted to share something pretty awesome with you guys in case you have not seen it yet. Lets take a look at the Albino Miniature!

Amaretto Albinos have become somewhat famous in the Amaretto Community. To have such a prized horse born is very exciting. Plus they come with a very special eye that will be sought after by many.

The Albino Miniature comes randomly from full siblings.

In order for a chance at an Albino Miniature one of these full siblings MUST BE a Miniature.

Full siblings are siblings that come from the exact same mother and father. Siblings do not have to have the same traits they only need to be full sibling.

So get to breeding those Miniature siblings and remember you could get a regular albino! This is Ava over and out Happy breeding everyone!

Steer Horns!

Hello everyone hope your weekend is going well and you are enjoying your Saturday!

Today the spotlight is shining on the Steer Horns!

When the version 6.01 Horse update came out on Apr.27,2019 these exciting new horns were hidden in new starters. The Steer Horn are one of many exciting possible Non-Starter traits that can come from breeding “Starter Horses”.

You can have a chance at one of these exciting new Steer Horns by breeding any horse with a starter horse or by breeding any 6.01 starter horses.

On July 12, 2019 Amaretto held the Amaretto Country Fair and and unveiled the fifth Horse in the line of Seven Heavenly Virtues and Seven Deadly Sins Horses! Hiding in these OOAK was the Indolence and Intensity Horns!

For a closer look at any of these horns you can check them out on the wiki https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Steer_Horn

Until next time this is Snookie hoping you have a great weekend!

Happy Breeding!!

Take Your Dog to Work Day

Today is National Take Your Dog to Work Day! If you work from home it’s no problem, but if you work in a business, your boss might take some convincing. Here are some suggestions to help you convince your boss to allow dogs in the office:
Ask your co-workers.
Focus on the benefits for the company.
Offer to dog-proof the office.
Set up rules and regulations.
Ask for a test week.

Each year on the Friday following Father’s Day, social-media platforms are flooded with posts bearing the #TakeYourDogToWorkDay hashtag and businesses across the U.S. and beyond open their doors to employees’ four-legged pals—all for a good cause. But where did this loveable holiday originate? Take Your Dog To Work Day was created by Pet Sitters International to celebrate the great companions dogs make and promote their adoptions. TYDTWDay was first celebrated in 1999, and June 26, 2020, marks the 22nd annual event.
Always celebrated on the Friday following Father’s Day, this annual event encourages employers to experience the joys of pets in the workplace for one fun summer Friday to support their local pet communities. Through the event, non-pet owners are able to witness the special bond their co-workers have with their pets firsthand and be encouraged to adopt a new best friend of their own.

Maybe you can post some pics in chat of taking YOUR dog to work?

Pottok Ponies

The Pottok or Pottoka, is an endangered, semi-feral breed of pony native to the Pyrenees of the Basque Country in France and Spain. It is considered an ancient breed of horse, particularly well adapted to the harsh mountain areas it traditionally inhabits.
Once common, it is endangered through habitat loss, mechanization and crossbreeding but efforts are increasingly made to safeguard the future of this breed. It is considered iconic by the Basque people.
Their adaptation to mountain life and coloration made them ideal for use by smugglers in former times. From the 16th Century onwards, they became popular as circus horses but also as pit ponies in France and Britain. Today, they are in demand as children’s ponies because they adapt well to domestication.
Traditionally they were solid color coats, but piebalds were bred for circus use.

When the version 5.5 Horse update came out on October 7,2016 these exciting new coats were hidden in new starters. The Pottok Ponys are one set of many exciting possible Non-Starter coats that can come from breeding “Starter Horses”.
You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter Pottok Pony by breeding any horse with a starter horse or by breeding together two starter horses.
These coats CAN be passed on.

Starting on April 1, 2017 Amaretto announced the release of all new Birthstone Flower Horses. From October 1st 2017 until October 31st, 2017 when you bred any horse with a Marigold Opal Eye to any color Pottok Pony you had the chance at a Marigold Opal Pottok Pony! This beautiful coat DID NOT have the ability to pass, but the all new eye DID. So much like the show horses of the past, these beauties were fun to breed for!

When Amaretto brought the Showhorses back in 2018, From January 1st to January 31st if you bred any 2 Pottok Pony together you had a chance at getting a Showcase Pottok Pony! The Showcase Pottok Pony could be randomly birthed by breeding together any two horses that had Pottok Pony coats of any color. The Showcase Pottok Pony can NOT pass their coat. However, the Charming Eye and the Charming Saddle DO have the ability to pass.

Hope you enjoy your Pottok Ponies, along with a little of the history of this old breed.

If you read this entire post, be sure and wish Avalon Crystal a Happy Birthday!
