The Dance of the American Saddlebred   ----

In a realm where beauty graces the dawn, With the sunbeams twinkling like jewels on the lawn, 

Dances the Saddlebred, proud and free, A regal spirit, wild as the sea. 

With coat that glimmers like the finest art, 

Each muscle defined—nature’s beating heart; 

Hooves striking earth with a rhythm divine, An equestrian bard draped in grace’s design. 

Through fields of emerald and skies of blue, He gallops with confidence—a dream come true; 

His mane waves like banners in battles long past, A symbol of glory that shall ever last. 

Behold his step—elegance framed in air, Every movement scripted with tender care; 

As if Botticelli himself did compose, Each line a caress that doth sweetly impose. 

Oh beauty unmatched! What tales dost thou weave? 

Through you we catch whispers that past spirits leave; A tapestry woven with longing and pride, The world is his canvas; he sways side to side. 

With every stride fills our hearts with some song, The music of centuries gathered along; 

From nobles' embraces to celebration’s embrace, he thrives as an artist upon life’s great stage. 

His eyes like galaxies—vast worlds collide In depths profound where all dreams might abide; 

He carries history in his every stride— A living poem with strife and love tied. In twilight's glow when homes call the sheep, And soft winds murmur through willows asleep, 

There he stands still as a portrait aglow— An emblem of grace in a world stripped below. 

For art lives not just upon thine walls’ hue; It breathes and it gallops—a dance so true. 

With sunset painting horizons ablaze, he dances through shadows where love ever stays. 

Thus honor this creature whose spirit runs free— 

The American Saddlebred, our muse to be. He teaches us strength tangled deep within heart— In beauty we conquer; in art we impart.

1/29/25  Highest ranking  -- ever --- 128 ...  how did I do it?  Few horses, good quality -- and 100% BLUPPED all of them with good GP ...  =  good ranking

I dabble in Shagya Arabians, Curlys, Knabstruppers, Arabians, Selles, and Thoroughbreds at times -- no, none are for sale, I keep them all  ...  I have other breeds I like, and if in the mood, breed ... I also very occasionally, breed very, very specific crosses - which I 100% geld and keep ...

Please, please, please people --  LOOK at the IBS and GP of the horse you are buying -- high GP means a big zero if the IBS is 0  or very low -- these are poorly bred horses and not worth buying -- you can breed the same or better

on your own ...  and it's cheaper ... 

Big breeders are in it for the bucks and passes -- they don't care about you ...  

If you blanket comps -- it is not stomping --

but how do you expect anyone else to blup if you blanket?  

Soo, they can blanket too, just like you ...

Your horses will have other horses in comps that may beat them

- NO I don't  stomp -- I use auto comp, big difference ... and "filling" only works if you get the comps FILLED -- the comps will not run with fewer than 5 horses -- you may be sitting on that "fill" for hours ..  that doesn't help -- so, I enter ...

if I win, I win ... if you win, you win  --- it's called COMPETITION folks 

And word -- I can't  be bullied 

I LIKE this game --- it's some of the

BEHAVIORS of the players I'm not fond of; there is a difference .... 

READ all of the presentation, not just some of it; 

and use your reading comprehension skills to understand it 

--- I keep my stock, I never sell them;  my playstyle ....  

Notice:  If I reserve a horse for you in reserved sales , you have 3 days to get it before I put it 

back on the open market

 ---- if you don't  have access, I will expect you to get said access in a reasonable amount of time;

(that is a reasonable time to me, not you)  

Or I will put it on the open sales ...... I do not keep "other people's" horses

I also do not sell my horses -- Unless as I say, they are worthless to me; 

and YES I check to see if there is a promo on that makes you give a horse to Ow --- and NO I do not sell horses just to have people give them to Ow -- so don't even ask -- use your own or buy one you can afford -- 

if you want to complete the objective, do it yourself ...  

Do you honestly think I put this much time, effort, and expense into my horses, just to have someone throw them away? -- no, I do not

I will be glad to help with objectives --- just not that one,  or one that requires me to sell one of my horses  (and those I will help with that  "sell"  thing --- you already know who you are) 

We all know who you are, oh person force retiring coats  -- and WHY you are doing it ....  

just for the record - I will never buy any thing from you -- ever ...... 

so this is one person NOT buying your overpriced coats (especially for REAL US dollars; 

which is against the EULA , btw ); you can laugh about getting away with it all you want - but you know it is wrong;

and YES, we know how you are hiding the coats too 

I hope you can sleep well at night - because I couldn't 

And -- you can even change your name -- but we still know who you are, my friend ...

Have a nice day with your equus and passes; 

if you have to get your jollys by cheating and breaking rules - 

you have no real life

Check out my "favorites"  -- a lot (if not all) have limited coats .... grab the coats while you still can for your horses 

I now have enough donkeys to breed all the mules they can think of -- NO More Donkeys !!

Yea ! (Only want them for the GAs and the trophies)

I hate mules and I hate zebras -- sheesh -- give me REAL breeds -- and no more drafts or donkeys -- I hate them too ...  

Zebras aren't even in the same species as our domesticated horses (neither are donkeys); genus -- yes, species, no -- 

they have different numbers of chromosomes

----  Please, NO mules or zebras !!!!!   If I wanted to play a game about the zoo or farm animals, I'd be playing it 

You have NO control over who buys your horses in the auctions or direct sales; there is NOTHING you can do, or say, to change this -- you can not block them from buying them in auctions and direct sales; game can't do that 

Just chill and get over it ... 

(I keep all of mine for the most part, I don't sell any) -- because those things happen 

Look folks, people are going to buy horses if there is a daily for the passes that says "buy a horse.." Don't blame them for this, blame the GAME for putting up that objective - okay ? YOU wanted these passes, so here they are ... 

Sorry, I do not give freebies -- I don't care what your story is, I've heard them all ... and "once burned, twice shy" --- if someone ever burns you, you will feel the same 

I recently got the divine, (Hipparion), that gives me breeds and colors of horses I do not already have --- these horses will be collected, they are not for sale till I say so and YES -- 

they might disappear if sold -- the buyer's loss, not mine ( that is why they have no affix); I simply do not care ... 

All of my horses I wish to keep have either affixes on them, or are GAs ..

if I sell any horses, they are worthless to me, and they have no affixes (at least none of mine) ... I keep any and all of my horses if I deem them valuable (with or without my affix)  -- If I raised them or bred them, I keep them 

NO -- I do not want your cross breds -- I can breed my own better ones .. please, do not sell them to me;  I don't want them and I will resell or send to Safe Haven ... as I have said earlier, I am very picky about cross breds ...

I  100% blup all my horses -- and YES, it does make a difference ( I know a lot of people say it doesn't, but .. ) ; I have done research and have seen it on other folks' horses

When you put males up on public covers -- make sure they are 100% blupped -- no one wants to use a less than 100% male.

I never give out donkey or draft covers -- that includes draft unicorns, and Uni donkeys as well; 

(and no, none are for sale. If you ask. I will ignore and delete the pm)

I don't mind you reselling horses I've sold to you; -- but if I give a gift; -- I expect you to appreciate the gift -- and not sell it; --- I could have sold it for a profit and not been kind hearted  .... be careful how you treat people .... it may backfire on you .... 

I also do not sell horses cheap, unless I feel they should be sold cheap;

once you work for your horses as hard as I have and some others have, you will understand why we are like this ...

I (along with TRAVELING WIND 2) have become the top Shagya Arabian breeders on the server - for now anyway -- got tired of this breed being "the red headed stepchild " of the server ... 

NO I don not give Shagya covers -- to purebreds or crosses -- it took me a ton of work and money to get them  this high -- I am not going to help others beat our GP --- just  breed them ... or pick your own breed and breed them -- it's fun, try it ...

NO GA coats are for sale -- none--- paid too much for them to sell them 

NO drafts, Unis, or donkeys are for sale -- ever -- worked too hard to get them and some were gifts (see above about how I feel about gifts); 

some have GAs and they stay with me of course

If you haven't already --- go to EC ----> office---> Boarding; 

There is a menu for setting your INITIAL stay time limit --- set it to the lowest you can (which I believe is 3 days now); I also highly recommend setting your max stay at 3 days if you can too ---  and bump the skills up to the highest you can (mine are usually the highest I can get them, and I change then as as often as I am allowed) ---- 

Having very, very high skills for boarding keeps low skilled horses from getting your newly made boxes too --  so remember that .... also reserve all the boxes to you -- that way YOU control who gets in ( go look at the big breeders' Ecs, that's what they do )  

Go and look at my EC --  it's not the best -- there are lots better ----   but it will give you some very basic ideas of where to start and what to do to get your EC up and going well ...
