Howrse Army V.2

[horsefreak4ever]

I love this game!
I remember when i first joined i didn't know how to do anything and didn't know how 'servers' worked (im on global and the default for me is US so i was confused on when it didn't log me on under the US server lol). But ya, i can try to help! Ive been on for 300 days as today!

[P0CKETKNIFE]

It's been six years and I'm still tending to my virtual ponies...

Name on Howrse: P0CKETKNIFE + profile link
Number of Howrses: I believe I'm at 22 right now? The number fluctuates a lot because I tend to buy and sell fairly often
Favorite Howrse breed: I recently discovered them on the site, but the Kerry Bog has to be my current favorite!! I usually stick to breeding Gypsies though, since they tend to have higher skill amounts.
Seniority: 259 days
Which Howrse Server do you use? International
Karma: 10 points
Are you accepting friend requests? Sure!!
Other: I'm not too serious about the game, but I like breeding high GP horses for a sense of accomplishment!!

I figured I'd show off my favorite horse too since I'm new to posting here? Her name is Royalty Loyalty, and you can find her page here if you want to see her!!
Breed: Gypsy Vanner
Age: ~39 years (she's an oldie!!)
Species: Pegasus
Height: 15.2 hands
Gender: Female
Coat: Palomino Tobiano
Date of Birth: 8/25/18
Producer: Ruffian
Black Market Items: Apollo's Lyre, Medusa's Blood, Golden Apple, Water of Youth, Phillosopher's Stone, Chronos' Timer, Ploutos' Parchment, Philotes' Stroke, Helios' Ray, Achilles' Heel, Croesus' Fortune, Poseidon's Pack, Nyx Pack (she's really decked out pffft)
Bonus items: In addition to the BM item bonuses, she currently has: hoof pick, whip, comb, tub of grease, bell boots, spurs, lunge, and horseshoe studs.
Genetic potential: 11983.55 GP
Pet: N/A (man I regret selling all my horses with pets!!)
Blup: 100.00
Skills: 15835.83 total
___

That all being said, it's kinda funny how I've been on Howrse for so long but still objectively suck at the game. I mean, I've barely even figured out how BLUP works--and I only recently realized that overworking your regular horses can kill them. At least I'm having a good time with my immortal ones pFft

If anyone has helpful tips to be more successful on the site though, I'd love to hear them!! I guess I'm mostly interested in breeding tips, since I'd like to expand my Gypsy project, but anything else is welcome too!! Obviously I know the basics for breeding: 100 BLUP + high GP on both sides = better foals, ect...but if there's anything more I should know about hmu!!

And one final thing, if anyone else is interested in gypsy breeding, I have a fairly high GP stallion I can offer for free stud? I actually don't know if private breedings force you to charge the minimum 500, but I'll make it as cheap as I can!! The reason I'm doing this is because I only have one eligible mare to pair him with, and I figured it would be nice to see some talented offspring from him!! His profile is here, and you can message me on CS or Howrse if you're interested. Feel free to ask about other stallions as well <33

[P0CKETKNIFE]

@Tainted~Wings, Okay cool!! What's your username and which horse should I reserve the covering for? Also as a sidenote, I may not be able to do the covering until tomorrow because I'm out of aging points and my horse has no energy pfftt

You could try PMing a mod to see if they can help, but unfortunately there's not a lot you can do now. I'm not sure if it's the same on Int, but on the UK server, we have various posts pinned at the top of forums warning us about this kinda thing, which may be worth a read for future reference.

Number of Howrses:
10 currently, though I'm definitely getting more when I can.

Favorite Howrse breed:
Well, I don't really have a favorite as I love all horses, ponies and unis. Though I do really like Arabians, Friesians, Gypsy Vanners, Lusitanos, Shires, Hanoverians, and Holsteiners.

Seniority:
35 days - Would've been over 3,000 days from my very 1st original account from 2008. Welp, it got deleted a long while back..

Which Howrse Server do you use?
International

Karma:
10 points - never lost any that I can remember.

Are you accepting friend requests?
Yes, defiantly! I accept all friend requests!

Other:
I can't remember what my name was on my very 1st account before it got deleted (14horselovers, maybe?). Then I came back. All I remember was I had a username of Destinyhorselover15, and then my last account before this one was Eternal Nightmare (EN). Of course all of these accounts were made at different times from 2008 til now, with each one being deleted before the next "new" account. - Ughh, I wish Owlient would stop deleting accounts after 60 days.. I lost internet for over a year and that's why I lost my EN account that I wanted to keep so bad. All that hard work wasted..

This time, I'm wanting to kinda do my gameplay a bit different than what I've done in the past. If anyone has any tips on getting high in General Ranking, getting lots of equus and passes, and getting a bunch of high grade skillers to win lots of comps, feel free to let me know your gameplay tactics. I'm open to new ways to make it well in this game. :3

I can help a bit with random tips. For making equus, the easiest way is to raise longhorn cows - they take a while but I made 500k+ a month from this, also sell almost all BM items in the exchanges. I used to buy and bold horses and sell on to make my passes mostly, but that's harder now - though still possible.
Make sure you're taking care of as many horses as you can a day. Up to 1000 - I don't have time for that many, but have around 100 which just about keeps me in AP, for team BLUPs at least. You'll also after a while easily have the 10 pass horses a month, and you can sell the extra for some equus.
For BLUPping, the new change means wins are even harder to get, but the best chance is to enter comps where your horse has high secondary skills and the lowest possible primary skill. Use a filler from your own account, and then if you have access to another account through co, or some friends, get them to fill for you. I'm on a top pony team, and even then the GP gap is big enough that I really struggle to get wins without fillers. You're welcome to use my account/I can fill (this goes for anyone reading this).
