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 .... 

you know, when you tell someone that you can't buy passes,  (to get them to feel sorry for you), and then turn around and buy passes; well, people are going to notice it 

One thing you will notice about my game play -- I have very few foals at one time -- nearly all my horses are 1 and 1/2 years old or older -- and if I have foals, they will be foal gamed (or in the process) --

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 ... 

I do not keep unwanted horses "just to have lots of horses" (it never made sense to me to have lots of horses you never intend to bother with just for the sake of numbers)

And I do not like having a lot of foals I will never use.  No, I will never be a top ranked player or breeder, but I do not care.

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

Promos -- NOT doing them -- I have reached my saturation point with objectives .... as a friend of mine likes to say "if it's free, it's for me"  -- bless you Steve, you are right ... stop the madness, get rid of promos  ..... 

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 am not really a competitive player; semi-competitive, maybe;  I am here to relax and have fun 

I tried to be competitive with Hanos, Knabstruppers, and TBs --- too much work and it took up all my time -- wasn't for me ---- 

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 ...
