Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to take the time to bring all the new people up to date on how the Amaretto Horses work. First of all I would love to say welcome to all the new people that have been joining the group and the ones that are new to the horses in general. The horses came out in Sept of last year and since then has become a big thing with the breedable community. I will be taking the time to talk about bundles, food, salt licks, and how the breeding works.

Bundles:
When your horse has a bundle or you just buy a bundle from the store some do not realize but you have to click the bundle and hit birth everyone thinks well most items we buy in sl we have to open if your new to breeding this is a very common mistake that can happen just remember if you do make this mistake and your a new breeder file a ticket and we will help you out. Always remember… click the bundle and hit birth and then yes to confirm the birth.

Food:
There are 2 different types of food depending on what your outlook for the horses is. You can have them as just a pet if you wish, if this is the case, you can use pet food for this. Pet food will keep the horse fed but at the same time it does take the breeding aspect away.  Don’t worry…  if you decide later on you want to breed the horse, you can just change the food type to breeder food and place out the breedable food. It will take 7 days once a horse is switched from pet food to breeder food to start gaining fervor if all other conditions are right 🙂  With breedable Food, this type of food is perfect for all those who want to breed horses. Breedable food will allow your horse to gain the fervor it needs to have bundles so you can get offspring from your horse 🙂

Salt Licks:
Salt Licks are used to help with Happiness they will help your horse gain the correct happiness it needs to start gaining fervor remember if your horse is on pet food you do not really need the salt licks unless you just want it to be happy. Salt licks do not make the horse gain fervor like some do believe, they just help them gain the happiness.

How Breeding Works:
All horses have a submissive  gene and a dominant gene, if you take two white walkers and put them together you may not get a white walker in return because they have a hidden gene that is called the sub this has a chance to pass to the offspring just as well as the dom does. Just because you might say my horse is pure well there is always that chance it does have a sub gene of a different coat that will pass.

I do also want to touch base on one more thing before I let you all go… I have had some people telling me “I am birthing all girls. Why am I not birthing any boys?” Since the beginning the males have always been more rare then the females hence they are harder to get. You can say “Well I have birthed 5 girls in a row. One should have been a male!”  This is not the case. You should remember it’s not just you birthing the bundles it’s every single breeder out there that is also birthing bundles so there is a very good chance you will birth more females then males.

Please note below is a list of starter coats and eyes. Starters are considered any horse that is birthed directly from a starter bundle which come from any of the starter packs sold at the Amaretto stores.
Please note, Appaloosas are now a retired coat. Which means they will no longer be available through the starter packs but can be bred through existing appaloosas or horses with this gene.
