Hello everyone Happy Sunday!!  I hope your weekend has been awesome so far!

Today I want to shine the spotlight on the Face Markings trait for our Ponie Pals!!

The Face Markings trait comes from breeding “Starter Style” together or one starter with any other Ponie.

From December 14, 2017 to Wednesday December 28, 2017 Amaretto celebrated with 2017 Christmas Edition ponies! These ponies were hiding Icicle & Winter Snowflake Face Markings!

Spring Editions were available from March 20th, 2018 to Tuesday April 3, 2018! Hiding inside these Spring Editions was the Daisy & Butterfly Face Marking!

Summer Editions were available from August 9, 2018 to Friday August 24, 2018! Hiding inside these Summer Editions was the Sol and Crescent Face Marking!!

On Thursday, November 22 any basket dropped could have the possibility to randomly get a new face marking Falling Leaves!

On March 9th 2019 Amaretto celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with 2019 Deluxe Edition Luck of the Irish animals that you could purchase until March 22nd, 2019. These Horses were hiding the Clover face marking!

On Sept 19th, 2019 Amaretto released 2019 International Day of Peace animals, hiding in the ponie was the Peace Face Marking!

Please note that these Face Markings CAN be passed on.

For more information and a closer look check them out on the wiki at https://ponie.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Ponie_Face_Markings

Until next time this is Snookie hoping you enjoy the rest of your weekend and have an amazing week ahead!

Happy Halloween and happy breeding!!

The Andalusian, also known as the Pure Spanish Horse, is a horse breed from the Iberian Peninsula, where its ancestors have lived for thousands of years. The Andalusian has been recognized as a distinct breed since the 15th century, and its conformation has changed very little over the centuries. Throughout its history, it has been known for its prowess as a war horse, and was prized by the nobility. The breed was used as a tool of diplomacy by the Spanish government, and kings across Europe rode and owned Spanish horses.
Strongly built, and compact yet elegant, Andalusians have long, thick manes and tails. Their most common coat color is gray, although they can be found in many other colors.

The horses were originally used for classical dressage, driving, bullfighting, and as stock horses. Modern Andalusians are used for many equestrian activities, including dressage, show jumping and driving. The breed is also used extensively in movies, especially historical pictures and fantasy epics.

In the past, most coat colors were found, including spotted patterns. Today most Andalusians are gray or bay; in the US, around 80 percent of all Andalusians are gray. Of the remaining horses, approximately 15 percent are bay and 5 percent are black, dun or palomino or chestnut. Other colors, such as buckskin, pearl, and cremello, are rare, but are recognized as allowed colors by registries for the breed.

One of the first four traited horses released by Amaretto was the Andalusian, which comes in six colors-black, grey, chestnut, copper, white, and red. You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter coated Andalusian by breeding any horse with a starter horse or by breeding together two starter horses. These coats CAN be passed on.

The Andalusian coat has also been used for the Showhorse, which came about in January 5, 2012 to February 4, 2012, when any bundle dropped from the breeding of any 2 Andalusian horses had the chance at being an Amaretto Show Andalusian Horse. Amaretto Show Andalusian Horses can NOT pass their coat, however, the Andalusian Gold Eye DOES have the ability to pass.

Amaretto also introduced the Twist horses, which came from breeding two different horse coats. From October 5, 2014 until November 5, 2014 you could breed any color Clydesdale and any color Andalusian together for the chance at one of these Clydalusian Coats. The Clydalusian Coat DOES have the ability to pass. The Autumn Wreath Eye DOES have the ability to pass. From August 1, 2019 until August 31, 2019, the Andalusian coat was part of the Craved Speckled horse breeding project, where if you bred any two of the following Horses: White Walker White Arabian White Andalusian White Icelandic White Piebald Ivory Dun together you could get a Craved Speckled Horse which COULD pass. You can see these lovely coats on the Amaretto Wiki pages here.

Well this is Ava over and out happy picture taking everyone!

Hello everyone its a terrific Tuesday here at Amaretto! Hope everyone is having a great day!

I have been in Secondlife for over 10 years, and its always good to learn how to do something new!

It occurred to me earlier today that we do have some community members that do not know how to make a slurl!

SLurls and landmarks serve the same purpose. The main difference is that a SLurl is simply a text link, while a landmark is an inventory item type which can only be used inside of SL.

You can post a slurl in spam, in note card, or even an private message! If a Amaretto CSR ever answers your ticket with the reply please send me a slurl, I want you guys to be ready!

How to use and make SLurls
To use an existing SLurl:

Click this example SLurl.https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Here
On the page it takes you to, click Visit this location to open it in Second Life.

To make a new SLurl:

Move your avatar to where you want to create the SLurl.
Click the place name in the location bar (near the top of the Viewer window) to convert it to a SLurl. It’ll look like http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Here/128/128/44.

Right-click and Copy the SLurl while it’s selected, or use Ctrl+V.

Paste the SLurl where you want it.

Alternatively, you can also use the WORLD MAP to get SLurls:

Select World menu > World Map.
Click Copy SLurl.

You can also enter another place on the map, then click Copy SLurl to get a remote SLurl.

Converting a landmark to a SLurl (and vice-versa)
To convert a landmark to a SLurl:

Select Me > Places.
Right-click a landmark and select Copy SLurl.
Paste the Slurl where you want it.
To convert a SLurl to a landmark:

Click or otherwise use the SLurl to get to its location.
Select World > Landmark This Place. The landmark is saved to your inventory.

So this is a great secondlife tip i use all the time! Hope this helps some of you guys that didnt know how to make a slurl. Happy breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!

Hey everyone its another manic Monday! I wanted to talk to you all about something that it seems a few of you may be experiencing. What am I talking about ? Well your breedables actually breeding!

I have gotten a few reports that someone peoples horses and ponies are not breeding. Lets talk about things you can do to make your animal breed.

A few things to try:
If they are paired, unpair them.
Try rerezzing them ?
Restart your sim. Has your sim been restarted lately?

Amaretto has not changed the way breeding works in our animals, so what some of you are experiencing is in world issues due to changes that Linden Labs is doing.

IF you try all of these things and it doesnt solve your issue you can file a ticket. Please try these fixes first.

This is Ava over and out, Happy breeding everyone!

Hello everyone I hope your weekend is off to a great start and you are enjoying your Saturday!

So do you think you are a trendsetter? Do you have an amazing breeding project that you want to show off to your fellow breeders? Well today that is just what we want to do!  We want to shine the spotlight on YOU and your creations!

So you are are wondering how do you do that? Did you know that you can submit that project/design that you have been working on to AMOC to be displayed in one of the many designer albums on the AMOC facebook page?  Well you can! So how do you go about doing that?

1st decide on your base (coat, breed or style) eyes, mane & tail
2nd decide on what you want to use for the designer traits, for example:
Coat/Hair Hues, Wings,Horns, Saddles,Bridles, Reins, Ear Tips, Brand, Socks, Hoofs, Looney Legs, Wild Hairs, Crowns, Headpieces, Beaks, Legs, Wings, Nose, Paw Warmers, Dipped ears,Wings, Horns, Style, etc.

Oh my so many to choose from but that is where the fun comes in right? Now you decide what you want your completed project to have trait wise!

Wow, you have done all that? Great!! Now what do you do next. You submit that to AMOC!

How to submit to AMOC:

Create a notecard and name it your creation name, avatar name & date then on the inside of the notecard list the information about your project/creation, for example:

My Creation by
My Avatar
06/15/19
Horse/K9/Bird/Ponie Stats
Parents Stats

Please list what stats you will want to see on the completed creation/project. It does NOT have to be completed to submit. You can resubmit an update when you have completed your project.  Please do not send updates to add wing, horn and/or saddle styles to the existing designs.  Styles will be included in your future submissions.

Parents full stats (including UUIDs) MUST be sent in with the designer.

Next take a picture of the breedable as it currently looks (you can always submit an updated picture at a later date). Make sure the picture is full perm and drag it into the notecard.

Now drop the notecard into the collection box just inside the AMOC Headquarters http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A.R.U.%20and%20Events/100/157/21

Do not send notecards to AMOC officers — all notecards/submissions must be put in the AMOC mailbox only.  Notecards that are put in any other mailbox will be deleted.

Your creation will be posted as soon as we verify that there has not already been a similar project previously submitted. If there is already a similar project we will verify the date the picture was taken and that will determine the creator (think of the picture as your copyright)!!

You will only be notified in-world if there is a question about your design. Otherwise, you should be able to find your submission, within a week, on the AMOC facebook page.

You can also see these directions on the website at https://www.themysticalamarettofamily.com/forums/topic/11-amoc-designer-submission-procedure/

You can take a look at some of the many AMOC certified designers that have been submitted in the past from Festive Traits, Coloring Book, Sweet Treats, Reds Reds & more Reds and so many more right here https://www.facebook.com/pg/AMOCoalition/photos/?tab=albums

Remember you can submit your design for any Amaretto animal that you are breeding. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to get those horses, k-9s, chickens, ducks & ponies all dressed up and ready to show off today! We can’t wait to see what you have come up with!

Until next time this is Snookie hoping you have a fun weekend and a creative week ahead!

Happy Breeding!

The Cairn Terrier is one of the oldest terrier breeds, originating in the Scottish Highlands and recognized as one of Scotland’s earliest working dogs. The breed was given the name Cairn because the breed’s function was to hunt and chase quarry between the cairns in the Scottish highlands.

Seven facts you probably didn’t know about Cairn Terriers

1. Nothing’s refined about them and that is a point of pride among Cairn people. “I call them scruffy little Toto dogs,” notes a longtime fancier. One 1937 book put it this way: “The Cairn is a cave-dog—an innate barbarian, truculent, fearless.”
2. They are named after a pile of rocks. The word cairn refers to a stack of stones, formed either naturally or by human hands, that are used as road markers and memorials. These are prime real estate for mice, rats, and other small vermin, and the dogs were developed to go in and flush them out.
3. Cairn Terriers are tiny. Ideally they should weigh no more than 13 or 14 pounds. This was essential for their original purpose, which was to wriggle into burrows and rocky passages after critters.
4. They have unusual feet. They tend to be southpaws, but that’s not the only odd Cairn foot fact. Their front paws are well-padded and larger than their rear ones, traits that gave them an advantage when digging in their pursuit of rodents. For the average pet owner today that means that you’d better protect, or give up on, your garden. Cairns just gotta dig.
5. The Cairn’s stick-to-itiveness is legendary. They do not give up. There is a story of a working Cairn in Britain whose job was to help clear otters from seaside rock formations. The terrier grabbed the otter and held tight even after the animal plunged into the sea. His owner had to dive underwater to rescue his dog and found the little terrier, with his teeth still in the otter.
6. … As is their assertiveness. Cairn people have a saying, “If you give a Cairn an inch, he won’t take a mile, he’ll take 100 miles.” They have the potential to be unbelievably sweet, loving, fun companions, but they require solid training and well-established boundaries.
7. The movie star who played Toto was dumped by her first owner. She was a Cairn puppy named Terry who had been purchased as a pet. When her owners could not potty train her, they dropped the pup off at a trainer and never returned. He happened to be Carl Spitz, of the Hollywood Dog Training School, who prepared canine actors for movies, wrote Willard Carroll in his book on the life of the four-legged icon, I, Toto. The rest is history.

In 2012, Amaretto introduced the Cairn Terrier coat to breeders. Cairn Terrier are one set of many exciting possible Non-Starter coats that can come from breeding Starter Coats.
You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter coated Cairn Terrier by breeding any K-9 with a starter K-9 or by breeding together two starter K-9s. These coats CAN be passed on.

You can also get a Blanco Cairn Terrier by breeding two Cairns of the same color coat together. The Blanco coat does not pass, but the collar CAN be passed on.

Beginning August 5, 2013 to September 4, 2013 any kennel dropped from the breeding of any 2 Cairn Terrier K-9s had the chance at being a Best in Show Cairn Terrier. Best in Show Cairn Terriers could NOT pass their coat.
The Peace and Love Eye DOES have the ability to pass.
The Flower Power Collar DOES have the ability to pass.

You can find out about Cairns and many other breeds on the Amaretto K-9 Wiki.

Hey everyone Happy Thursday!

Second Life is not without it’s unpredictable behavior. Sometimes the re-starts, rollbacks and crashes can wreck havoc on your inventory items. These issues are most often related to asset server problems. You may have noticed that when Linden Lab posts grid status problems, they will often warn not to rez no-copy items during that period of time. This is because doing so can cause the servers to drop your inventory items. Nevertheless, there are a few things you can try to find your missing item(s).

First, remain calm!

Second, relog. Sometimes, this is all that is necessary for missing items to show up in your inventory again.

Third, check your Lost & Found folder in your inventory for the item. The object may have been returned to you without your knowing. Also, Check your Objects folder and don’t forget to look at any unknown “coalesced object” boxes. You may well find your missing items in there!

Fourth, try searching for the item using Area Search:
Go to top menu, World → Area Search.
Click on the “Find” tab and type part of the name of the item into the “Name” field. Click “Search.”
You will be taken to the “List” tab. If you see the name of the object, double-click it in the list and follow the red beacon to the object. Moving your avatar or camera around can help the Area Search detect items that are not detected initially

Fifth, go to point 0,0,0 in the region or, if you don’t have access to it because it is part of someone else’s private property, ask that parcel or region owner to look. Sometimes, rezzed items will be deposited there.
To get to point 0,0,0:
Either type “gtp 0 0 0” into local chat (without the quotes) and hit Enter;
Or open your mini-map (top menu, World → Mini-Map, or Ctrl-Shift-M) and fly or walk to the far southwest corner of the region. Try to pan below the ground.

Sixth, teleport to a low lag or viewer support parcel, such as Hippo Hollow http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hippo%20Hollow/43/167/51 or an empty water region, such as Cyclops http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cyclops/128/128/6 . Drop your draw distance low (for example, to 32 or lower) to minimize the work the viewer is trying to do outside of loading your inventory. Relog from there. If you are using the Firestorm viewer, try using their instruction for recovering missing inventory. http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_missing_inventory (This has worked on numerous occasions for me.)

Seventh, if the item missing is an Amaretto product, you can always file a ticket with Amaretto. The ticket system is located at http://support.amarettobreedables.com/index.php
There is a helpful video on the page to help guide you through the process.

I would like to point out a couple of things to keep in mind when using the Amaretto Help Desk
•PLEASE put both your full SL First name and Last name (if you do not have a last name put resident) in the ticket do NOT use display names
•All communication MUST be in the ticket. CSRs will not respond to in world IMs or Notecards! To ensure your ticket is resolved as quick as possible, Please keep ALL responses/communications in your ticket.
•Tickets may take 48-72 hours to get a response from the support team, please have patience.
•Do not respond to the emails, we do not get those, you must respond inside the ticket itself for us to see the response.
•No response to tickets from the user in 3 days and the ticket will be closed.
•Do not wait to be contacted inworld regarding your ticket. Please log in and check for responses to your tickets.
•Please do not file multiple tickets for the same issue, it only slows things down and the duplicate tickets will be closed. Refrain from refreshing your page on the ticket system, it will duplicate your tickets.
•You must be the owner of the Horse/Bundle, K-9/Kennel, Bird/Nest or Ponie/Basket to file a ticket. Please do not file tickets for others.
•Please include as much pertinent information as possible regarding your ticket/issue this will help expedite your ticket. Make sure to include the transaction history, from your dashboard, for recently purchased items.

We are always here to help! Happy breeding this is Ava over and out!

Hey everyone its a Terrific Tuesday, I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about something Super! I have noticed that there have been a few tickets recently about confusion between a Super Mix Pack and a Jumbo Mix Pack. Let me take a moment to explain the difference between the two.

A Super Mix Pack is 5 Breedable Food & 5 Salt Licks with 5x the servings as a regular Breedable Food & Salt. The cost of a Super Mix Pack is 5,850 LS.

Do not confuse a Super Mix Pack with the Jumbo Mix pack which is the same price but has 25 Breedable Food & 25 Salt Licks.

What is the advantage of a Super Mix Pack vs a Jumbo Mix pack?
Well its the same amount of food just in less prims. Remember one food out of the Super Mix pack will last 5 xs longer than a food from a Jumbo Mix Pack.

We have clearly marked the Super Mix Pack food to look different than any other food it has a 5xs stamp on the food as well as the salt.

If you have questions about any of the Amaretto Horse products you can check out the Product Price List:
http://wiki.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Product_Price_List

So when you are buying mix packs please be sure you buy the one you want because there are no refunds or exchanges on no transfer items!!!

So be sure to confirm you are buying the correct pack! Happy breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!
