Hi everyone,

After a long break, I have returned :) (It was the new drafts that lured me back...)

I've missed everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I apologize if I haven't answered a PM from you. I haven't checked them until just recently and saw that there are a few that have been sitting for a while.

There are a lot of new faces since I was last around. It's great to see HJ2 is a lot more bustling than I remember! For those of you that don't know me, I used to play Hajinc a longggggg time (~10 years) ago. I started back up about a year ago. I am a certified S+aholic (just ask Abbey Road), but I also do a lot of GP and a mixture of other things. In real life, I am a physics PhD student (which means I sometimes get madly busy and drop off the planet for a few days). I can't wait to meet all the "new" (for me) peeps!

Just before I took my break, I had a big breeding breakthrough which I don't think I shared with the community.

This boy has two copies of S+, two copies of GP, and (I'm 99% sure) has two copies of DP. I'm pretty thrilled with him :D Colorwise, he's basically endgame for his line. I'll have to think of a new color goal.

This second guy has a lot of sentimental value:

He has two copies of GP and got S+ as well. Both his sire and dam were sired by my prized Brego (my first S+ horse, may he RIP), and so he is very special to me.

Hope you guys are having a nice breeding season :D

welcome back! I'm also a sooty+ addict, so if I can contribute anything from my relatively new little herd to help you get going again, let me know! Abbey and a few of the other senior players have mentioned you with great affection.

Hello! Both boys are gorgeous. I'm a DP addict so I'm drooling over that top boy. Love the splashes of white as well.

MoonAcre Stables · Mar 8, 2016 7:09 PM

Hello! I'm with fj absolutely drooling over that first boy!

MoonAcre Stables · Mar 8, 2016 7:12 PM

I just took a quick look through your stud barn. Wow so many beautiful boys.

RoseFlute · Mar 8, 2016 7:14 PM

Whoa, they're pretty! 0.0
And we were just talking about this earlier, but a lot of studs are being named after LOTR horses. :P I've got a Brego, too. :D

Kaquel · Mar 8, 2016 7:19 PM

Thanks everyone!

RoseFlute, it's such an easy thing to turn to :P Plus, Brego is super awesome in the movies. Uraeus is actually the name of (one of) the horses that played Brego in the films.

Stary Pryzjaciel actually means "old friend" in Polish. Both of these boys were named in honor of my Brego.

fj1482 · Mar 8, 2016 7:24 PM

I've been noticing something, not just on your boys, do some of the horses look to have thicker necks and other little differences or is it just the colors playing with my eyes?

RoseFlute · Mar 8, 2016 7:24 PM

So cool!

Cheers · Mar 8, 2016 7:31 PM

Fj I think it is the roached mane that does it

fj1482 · Mar 8, 2016 7:33 PM

I'll have to pay attention now and see if I notice it with only the roached mane horses lol

Kaquel · Mar 8, 2016 7:35 PM

Yeah I used to give all of my studs roached manes because it made their necks look a little thicker and more stud-like. With the new art, the roached mane looks a little shorter and different than it did on the old model, so I may switch back. We'll see.

pinestables · Mar 8, 2016 10:29 PM

It should be Stary Przyjaciel, not Pryzjaciel.

Welcome back and greetings from Poland ;)

Abbey Road · Mar 8, 2016 10:39 PM

Pine, I'd never have guessed English wasn't your first language.

Kaquel.... yaaaaaayyy! You already know I'm excited that you're back because I pounced on you when you clicked on my herd helper. LOL. I'm not a crazy stalker, I SWEAR.

Man those are some seriously amazing dapples on Stary.

pinestables · Mar 8, 2016 10:50 PM

Abbey, really? I'm almost 15 years old, I learn English at school and I know only basics. Yes, Polish is my native language. But nice to hear (or rather read) that my English isn't bad :D

Okay, sorry for spamming.

*back to the topic* I like both of these horses. Sooty + is really nice. Congrats, Kaquel!

Ritsika · Mar 8, 2016 10:51 PM

Welcome back! You have some amazingly handsome studs. :)

Cheers · Mar 8, 2016 11:03 PM

I think I am very tired. I had to stare at those two spellings an inordinate amount of time to figure out which letters were transposed, Pine! And I agree with Abbey, your English is excellent.

K, your boys are stunning! I failed to say so in my first post but just wanted to say it now. Absolutely show stoppers!

MoonAcre Stables · Mar 9, 2016 6:08 AM

I agree with abbey I would have never guessed english wasnt your first language pines!

PaintsStables · Mar 9, 2016 6:30 AM

Yay, I thought you were back Kaquel, but hadn't been paying that much attention. I went to enter some foals in the breeders clubs, and noticed you had entered foals this season also. Love your guys, they are fantastic. I think I was one of those that PMed you at Secret Santa time. Abbey was my recipient, and I was looking for straws for her, since she was one of the people that first GMT'ed one of the rare lines with you and Maribo. Great to have you back!

pinestables · Mar 9, 2016 8:18 AM

Really, I love all your horses' Polish names. I have an idea to give some names taken from Polish language to my horses, but it's annoying that I can't add diacritics.

RoseFlute · Mar 9, 2016 8:40 AM

You can always use Google translate. :P maybe it won't always give you the best translations, but you can always check. It's a start, anyway. :)

pinestables · Mar 9, 2016 9:00 AM

@RoseFlute, I'm from Poland, I don't need Google Translate to check Polish names...I think that English or Persian names look more original and better for my pixel ponies :P
Anyway you even don't know how often do I use Google Translate to find words to my posts ;)

Okay then, we're using this topic to dicuss about horses' names. Sorry, Kaquel ;)

RoseFlute · Mar 9, 2016 9:09 AM

I know you're Polish. X) I've been reading through the thread. What I thought you meant was that you're not sure whether the words you want to use mean the words you think you do, and you want a person who can tell you. I suggested good translate to try to fill that space. :P

pinestables · Mar 9, 2016 9:20 AM

I try to use quite simply English on forums, I think.
Okay, could we stop spamming this topic? :D

RoseFlute · Mar 9, 2016 9:49 AM

Pththtttp, fine. :P

HI KAQUEL they're PRETTY

Kaquel · Mar 12, 2016 10:54 AM

I just realized I never responded!

Pine, thanks for the correction! I totally flipped those letters :) Also, can you come live in my barn and help me name all of my ponies from the line that I name after Polish words? Thanks :P

Kaquel · Mar 12, 2016 10:54 AM

(And don't worry about spamming my topic, I don't mind one bit :) )

pinestables · Mar 13, 2016 4:04 AM

Yeah, I can help if you need :)
