Dazzling Darlings!

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday!! I hope your weekend is off to a fantabulos start!

Today I wanted to take a look at the amazing Dazzle Horses. These horses are absolutely gorgeous and very special.

On September 1, 2015 Amaretto released the Dazzle horses!





On October 7,2016 Amaretto released new starters in version 5.5 there were new hidden Dazzle Horses Ruby, Peridot, Opal, Turquoise, and Pearl Dazzle Horses.

Dazzle Horses can only come by breeding a male and female with Dazzle eyes together.

The Dazzle eyes can be viewed on the wiki at the following links:

https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Dazzle_HeartShine_Eyes

https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Dazzle_StarShine_Eyes

They do NOT have to be the same Dazzle Eyes to have a chance at getting one of these randomly dropped coats.The Saddles that come with each amazing Dazzle coat are specific to their coat and they do have the ability to pass. That’s right you heard it correct these beautiful new Saddles DO have the ability to pass!! Dazzle Horses can NOT pass their coat. However breeding a Dazzle Horse with another Dazzle Horse or with any other horse with Dazzle Eyes you will slightly increase your chance for another Dazzle Horse.

For a closer look at any of these gorgeous horses check them out on the wiki at https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Dazzle_Horses

So have fun and good luck in getting one of these amazingly gorgeous horses.

Until next week this is Snookie hoping your weekend is fantastic and your next week is even better!

HAPPY BREEDING!!

I’M SEEING SPOTS!

The Appaloosa is an American horse breed best known for its colorful spotted coat pattern. In North America, the Nez Perce people of what today is the United States Pacific Northwest developed the original American breed. Settlers once referred to these spotted horses as the “Palouse horse”, possibly after the Palouse River, which ran through the heart of Nez Perce country. Gradually, the name evolved into “Appaloosa”.

Today, the Appaloosa is one of the most popular breeds in the United States; it was named the official state horse of Idaho in 1975. Appaloosas have been used in many movies; an Appaloosa is the mascot for the Florida State Seminoles. Appaloosa bloodlines have influenced other horse breeds, including the Pony of the Americas, the Nez Perce Horse, and several gaited horse breeds.

One of the flashiest Appaloosa horses is the Leopard Appy., with dark spots on a white background coat.

Check out this Sorrel Peacock Leopard Appy!

When Amaretto began waaaay back in September of 2010, they released their first set of starter horses, which included the Appaloosa in four colors, black, brown, grey and tan. Like other starters, they each came with possible hidden coats and traits. The hidden coats/traits might or might not be Non-Starter. The Appaloosa coat can be passed on.

The Appaloosa starter coat has been put “Out to Pasture” which means none will come in any starter, breeder or rancher packs sold at the store, but there are still Appaloosas out there being bred from existing lines. Happy Breeding!

PEACH BUZZ ~RANDOM DROPS~

Dear Breeders,

Have you heard about random drops? Do they still exist? Are they like finding gold at the end of the rainbow or spotting a leprechaun? In years past, Amaretto would gift us with random drops on special occasions. The community would all be in a buzz as they lined up their pregnant horses, k-9, birds, and ponies in hopes that they would be lucky enough to get that special random drop celebrating a holiday. Oh, the excitement, the joy of finding that random drop.

As most of us know tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day and in years past we did receive some Random Drops! Check these out:

Random Drops:
HORSES:
LUCKY BRANDING: MARCH 17, 2013
SHAMROCK EYE: MARCH 17, 2014
HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY EYE: MARCH 17, 2015

BIRDS:

SHAMROCK COLLAR: MARCH 17, 2015

*All Random Drops listed above did have the ability to pass

As I whistle the tune of “When Irish Eyes are Smiling” I urge you, dear breeders, to create a notecard and respectively request more “random drops” and drop it in the mailbox at the main store. I think I can safely say we miss them. This concludes Peach Buzz which informs you of the hottest trends in Amaretto.

Amaretto Koi Fish!

Hey guys! How is my Amaretto family today? Well I have some exciting news!!
Its time for some excitement! I am sooooooo proud to release the Amaretto Ki Utsuri Koi and the Amaretto Showa Koi!!

Showa are beautiful koi, with colors of white, red, and black painted across their bodies. Showa are one of the Gosanke or “Big 3” koi fish along with Taisho Sanke and Kohaku koi!

Ki Utsuri, a member of the Utsurimono family, are koi with a black body and areas of yellow pattern overlaying the black. The gene responsible for Ki Utsuri is a recessive gene. This means that Ki Utsuri are a random “throw” from a Shiro Utsuri or Hi Utsuri spawn, and can never be produced in large quantities.

These are some beautiful animals! Starting today 3/16/2022 until 3/30/2022 you can pick these up at any Amaretto location!

Flower Eyes

You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter eyes by breeding any Bird with a starter bird or by breeding together two starter birds.

These eyes CAN be passed on.

Amaretto Breedables all begin with the “Starter breed” that are sold in packs at the Amaretto Barnyard Bird stores. The Mallard and The Pekin is considered “Starter breed”.

They each come with possible hidden coats and traits. The hidden breed/traits may or may not be Non-Starter. When breeding new starters together, it is important to remember that the hidden Breed/traits may or may not drop in the first Egg or even the last Egg . You just never know! Remember, once a starter always a starter.

Immortal Ponies!!

Don’t worry nothing scary at all. But do you want your ponies to stay with you forever and never get hungry or sick? Well Amaretto has you covered with the Everlasting Ponie!

On June 15, 2017, Ponies were set free into Second Life and they brought this very special little golden apple with them.

There is only one requirement for using the Everlasting Ponie Apple (other than it can only be used on a Ponie) but that Ponie must be Vintage, meaning they have no more descendants left.

Instructions:

1. Open boxed Everlasting Ponie and rez next to the Ponie you wish to become a pet.

2. Click the Ponie and go to the consumables option on the menu.

3. Find Everlasting from the options on the menu and click it.

Once the ponies stats have been updated the Everlasting Ponie consumable will disappear.

Once you have used it the text on your Ponie will change from Vintage to Pet. And now your Ponie will be able to go anywhere with you without being hungry or getting sick.

Amaretto Grulla Horses

Grilla…grullah….how do you say that again? The word “grullo” originates from the Spanish word for a gray horse and the word “grulla” in Spanish means crane. Because of the origin of the name, some people will refer to a mare as a grulla and a stallion or gelding as a grullo, pronounced GREW-yə and GREW-yoh.
Okay, what IS a Grulla horse? Basically, it’s a dun horse. A grulla has a dark stripe down it’s spine, shoulder stripes and leg barring. A grulla horse is fairly rare, as these things go, and is often the result of mating a black stallion with a red or dun mare.

In these pictures you can see the back striping and a hint of the leg stripes that some have.The colors of these two coats kind of look like the models for Amaretto’s Chrome and Tan Grulla coats.

When the version 5.5 Horse update came out on October 7, 2016 these exciting new coats were hidden in new starters. The Grulla horse is 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 Grulla by breeding any horse with a starter horse or by breeding together two starter horses. The Grulla coat CAN be passed on
