Work seems to be forcing me into hiatus...if I'm on your team and you need to make room for a recruit...take me off. If you are trying to reach me and I take days to answer, work is why. 

If you are trying to use an item, and horwse takes forever to load....check right away to make sure the item loaded to your horse, and dispute it if it didn't. I've been cheated out of my last Hera pack because my BMI history shows the item was used, and it never applied to the horse. I only realised after the single foal was born. Howrse won't give me back my item. If your item doesn't load on your horse....make sure you have proof of it because Contact us won't take you on your word
I believe that every person should be able to meet new people without having to face pre-formed
opinions of who they are.
With that in mind, I give every player a chance. Sometimes I get fed up, and
 block someone.
Sometimes I find a new friend. But everyone gets their fair shot with me.
HOWEVER-if I have enough, and block a player, I will also block any player who
comes asking for things on that player's behalf. It takes a lot for me to put
 my foot down and block someone


My profile picture is my cat, Matt. In this particular photo, he'd decided that we'd played for long enough, and laid down across our board. Matt doesn't appreciate being ignored lol! He was 3 then, and is 11 now. Still as emphatic in his demands for attention :)


With COVID, colds and flus going around, I want to share this, my go-to response to sore throats and congestion. It doesn't taste great, but it saves turning to medications...and not all of us have the option to dose up when feeling crummy
Drink for sore throats and chest/nasal congestion
You will need:
1 inch ginger root
1 clove garlic
1 lemon
2-3 cups water in a medium pot of water
Honey to taste
Here's how:
Chop/mash the ginger finely
chop/mash garlic
Lemon--remove all of the juice, and grate half of the rind(or throw in some slices if you can't figure out how to grate rind lol)
Add these ingredients to water, and boil for 20-30 minutes until tea-like
Strain, and pour into cup/thermos.
Add honey to taste


 I will not be around a whole lot, but when I am, I'm either AP farming or helping my teams. My focuses are my Vanners and Lippizans. Followed by the Canadian Quarters. sell Lippizan non-unis right up to our top GP for up to 200 passes or equivalent. GP release on the team horses is 100,000 for Crystal Dancers. !20,000 for Vanners. No release of Quarters 

Ever wonder which divines are worth the effort to get? Here are a couple that have made a big impact on my game: Hrimfaxi-when his bar fills up, he will give you up to 100AP if you have tended 100 horses that day. Shenma- randomly triggers to give you a 1.5 multiplyer on AP found. Balios-Nyx pack on 17th of the month. 

Currently running low on Helios Ray and Water of Youth. If you have either that you don't want, please contact me for trade, or set up a reserved exchange for the price listed lower on my page. Thanks!

Personal update:

I have a new puppy, so I won't have much time to play. When I do, chances are I'll use the Autocomp feature. I apologize ahead of time if I run you over. I do try to look before I leap into a competition. 



Things to do: Stroke Xanthos for a chance to win a Horn Of Plenty :)

I do buy BMI regularly. Please be aware that my offered purchase price may be higher or lower than those in public exchanges. I offer based on the value that I place on each item, and the amount that I routinely pay myself when I buy the item in public exchange. I will not offer less than I have paid for an item in public exchanges, and I am willing to negotiate to a certain extent. If you have items to sell, feel free to message me. For those of you already selling me items, please check my lists again- some items that we have agreed upon have gone up, meaning that I will pay more than we originally agreed upon .

A Little History

I first joined Howrse on the International version, in 2013, and was part of the 2nd top TW team until they disbanded. When my daughter decided to make Friesian Fury here in May,2015, I came over with her, to help out with the team, and in only 2 months we ranked 2nd for our breed. By August we were so close to the top team, Black Shadows, that we two teams decided to pool resources and work together, rather than competing. Thus was born Shadow Knights Fury, breeding the best horses on the sever for about 2 years. As all leaders rise and fall, so did we- but we had a good run, and made good friends. I value that experience. 
I see a lot of people coming over from International lately...with the same comments I made upon my departure. I'm glad that those who want to play for the fun of the game have a server to come to. I hope that CA server does not become competition driven to such an extent that normal players can't make anything of their games, but that it stays the welcoming environment that I experienced, and that I am happy to hear new players experiencing still.. 
 I am happy to help newer players in any way that I can. If you have questions, need tips to make your game successful, how to set up an equestrian center, blup a specific horse or breed, need fillers...feel free to message me. I am an adult player, but I don't bite. 

 What do I need to know to BLUP?
Bolding:
~complete both forest and mountain rides,
~train your three dominant skills(they have an arrow beside them)
~gain skills from competitions that use your dominant skills
Once you BOLD your horse, the only thing left to do to BLUP, is to gain 20wins and reach age 10
