Okay, okay, I'll be the first to admit seeing the blue PPS
deer, pinto horse, and black horse get their rarities was
a bit surprising.

The fact the horses were both VUCs and the deer was a
mere COMMON was not what I was expecting. With how
much people were looking for them at the start, I figured
they'd be at least a very uncommon each. Now I feel silly
for not accepting certain trades LMAO

And the butterfly wolf (pictured below) being the most
uncommon out of the litter? that was a bit of a shock too!
I didn't realize any of them, let alone that one, would be
more uncommon than the rest. Oh well! Makes trading for
them for my wife's hoard a bit easier, since people will be
chucking them into their fodder folders.


butterfly wolf in question ^

On the topic of unexpected outcome rarities today (and technically this one's from April but I don't want to dredge that thread back up too), the alien pairs had one pair that was more common than the other three! I can't remember the last time I saw store pets with unequal rarities within the litter from the get-go, if I did at all (I don't remember if the sloths were the same back then), AND it's not the pair I would have expected!

for some reason players bought those to a lot so it changed there rarities so my guess it could of been someone who wanted to hord just those two a. lot 2018 horses CS store there's mix as well in rates it is weird how that is too I own the sloths and never notices

There is absolutely nothing surprising about the deer PPS. People had loads of them in their original adopts, someone even had half their litter be the PPS.

It was only "hard" to get in the beginning because it was still growing and then people put it on a pedestal for some reason. Didn't help it then turned PPS.

I think after April lots of people were holding on tighter to more “uncommon” outcomes in fear of it being rare, which made it seem like it was rarer than they actually are. Especially with the draft horses.

I know how late I am talking about it, but I just loved the cats from May! ❤

This one is so pretty. Happy I got them all with no missing outcomes! c:

Also, does anybody know the flower species and names of coat colors of the drafts?

Pink Lily-of-the-valley [Palomino Tobiano?] | [???] [Buckskin Roan?]

Lavender Grey | Forget-me-nots [Brown Seal Tobiano?]

Sunflower [Black Tobiano?]

I think the Palomino Tobiano is a Sorrel with Flaxen & Pangare like Schleswig Coldblood or Jutland Horse. No Tobiano for me there.
The Buckskin Roan is just a Bay Roan like an Ardennais.
The Lavender one is in fact a Gray and might be a Percheron.
The Seal Brown is also no tobiano. Maybe Minimal Sabino or just high socks like in Shire Horses or Clydesdales.
The Black Tobiano is right in my opinion but I have no specific draft breed in mind. Maybe a newer cross-breed with Gypsy Vanner…

Hope that helped. And I got no idea in the ?-flower

[hellevi]

Were the flower draft horse's flower species confirmed?

I could identify the others pretty easily and I know hellevi confirmed one of them as pinkish lily-of-the-valleys. But the brown horse with the white flowers could be a couple of different things.



My thoughts are maybe Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota), Cow Parsnip (Heracleum maximum), or maybe even Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum)?

another suggestion that was thrown out when i was asking around was Baby's Breath! but I would also love a confirmation on which flowers this draft has <3

woah my apologies for never having seen these!!! these flowers are indeed based off of baby's breath :3

i don't have a solid answer for their coat colorings BUT each one was loosely based off of a specific breed of draft !! in the order you listed them, the breeds i had in mind were belgian draft, jutland, percheron, shire, and gypsy vanner. how accurate they are to those breeds is another story but those are definitely where the inspiration came from! hope this clears some things up :,)

[cavallo]

Thank you for your answer <3
I think I guessed some of the breeds right and many of them are similar to each other. I thought of the gypsy vanner for the sunflower one but wasn't sure because not considered as a draft breed. But losely based they fit pretty well. All of them are wonderful <3
