Donation Barns
-
A bunch of us had a coversation on the Facebook page about expediting donations for new members, or Secret Santa or anyone who could use some help. I've set up a tattoo with the name 'Available to Adopt' so that it is searchable. I plan to put information in the horses notes about that horse and where they might fit into a show barn (ex; This horse is a rank special Great Show Horses. That means they train and show to the maximum ability of their generation (foundation). S/he won't make you huge amounts of money, but s/he should bring in a steady flow and much needed points.)
I propose that anyone who wants to give horses to new folks, or anyone, for that matter, make a tattoo and name it "Available to Adopt". The shape/size/placement of the tattoo really won't matter, you can make it a lip tattoo if you want, but if all the barns who want to make donations use the same wording people will be able to search and select from a nice pool of show horses.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? -
I'm in, are we going to concentrate on showing horses?Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms

Whatever you want, Terri! Here is the first one I put up. You might want to check out the discussion on Facebook, too.

*Silly giggle* You like how it looks like its tied on her mane? Honestly, it's one of those things you don't want to shove in peoples faces, but you're REALLY proud of!
-
I'll make you one for the price of the slot if you want.....
Heck, I'll make anyone the mane ribbon for donation horses for the price of the slot. Just tell me what color you want!
Thanked by 1Abbey Road -
You can count me in, I will PM you about making a ribbon for me. I am not good at making tattoos.Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms

I love this idea! I will be setting up a barn full of these babies too. And Confluence, I desperately want one of those ribbon tattoos. Sending you a PMThanked by 1ConfluenceFarms

Could someone who plays on the HJ1 server copy and post the original message over there. I know most of them are on the FB page, but there might be one or two who might miss it.
Thanks!

I would also like a ribbon tattoo for this. It's a pretty cool idea! Let me think about the color.Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms

I have just posted a copy of your post on HaJ 1. I think this is a great program and will probably create my own tattoo for both games and sort through my first additions to this program tomorrow. Today, as was yesterday, will be very busy and I won't be home from about 9:30 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. and will spend at least 3 hours of that time driving.De gustibus non disputandum.

@SandyCreek - Your weekend does sound busy! Hope everything goes smoothly! Thanks for cross posting the notice.

It's an awesome idea! Count me in. :)Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms

@Confluence Farms I made an initial post in HaJ 1. It received enthusiastic responses. I was asked if we would have a pinned thread for adoption notices, and I asked Ammit if that was possible. She told me to make the thread and she would add it to the Important Links post she keeps in HaJ1. I see there isn't such a thing here, so you might ask her about it for HaJ2.
I have made a quick first post in the thread, carefully explaining the purpose of the adoption offers (to improve breeding and showing for a stable, NOT to make a quick profit by buying cheaply and yumming or auctioning the horse off. I also bought IVs for a 120 stall barn to put adoptable horses in, made myself a tattoo, and agreed to accept adoption horses from other players who were looking for a dealer to handle their offerings.De gustibus non disputandum.

Thank you so much, SC! I have mentioned to Ammit that it might be good to put a notice on her "free starter pack" announcement, but didn't think to ask for a pinned thread.
You go girl! -
Can you give more details on what happens with donated horses? Given to new members or a low adoption fee? I have facebook but have it temporarily deactivated at the moment or I'd go look.
-
I got my first two horses up for adoption. Thanks for the Adoption Ribbon Dena. It works perfectly even on horses with black manes! :D

I have these horses that I can put up for adoption so far. I pt'ed them and I think that their show records are good and make them good for adoption. I created a ladybug tat for my Available to Adopt horses. :)

This is AMAZING I've been trying to find horses to build build a show line and I think it just got 20 times easier----
Barn ID 4953Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms -
This is a great idea! I'd love some to help with building up my show points, but alas I'm out of room! LOL
-
Just thought about the fact hat we will need to take the tattoos OFF the horse before we send it to the new owner!
-
I was also thinking that, so the cost to take it off is not with the new owner.
-
Big Thank You to Golden Spur2 who GAVE me 10 horses to add to this. She is not playing HJ2 anymore...just sticking with HJ1....so I asked if she would donate and she said HECK yeah!. If you see her over on HJ1 tell her thanks again!
-
:-) I am willing to donate or sell for cheap some stud babies for someone in need:-)

I have a few that have decent PT scores that are otherwise getting yummed at rollover. I have no space for them all.

I know that I don't have room to warehouse horses until a new person expresses interest. I don't know if someone else might have room for them.
Remember, we are mostly looking for horses that can earn a new person points in showing. Preferably a horse that has shown for some time and has already earned a bundle of points...just off the top of my head I would think 50-75 all time points earned would be a good place to start (other suggestions are more than welcome, but I don't think there is going to be a definite number). These are going to be the ones that are tough(er) to give up because they are bringing in the points.
Personally I am still working to find myself some of those type of point earners. I NEED the few I have. That's why the donation horses I've put up are all 'low pointers' right now, but they will eventually be worth something as show horses, and someone might like them for breeding (several are Ice, and I think one of them is het KP). I have the room to keep them because, until they find a new home they will earn me a few points here and there.
If any of you senior players have input, please share it! While I've played Kinetocore games since 2008(?) I have never really focused on H&J, and could be way off base!!

I'm still breeding. Once the season is over I will set up a barn and will be happy to hold horses for adoption from other players but I need to focus on breeding for the rest of today! I'm thinking I will do a 120 horse barn for adoption and fill it with show ponies and foundation/gen 2 breeding stock. I will put it on autoshow and just let them sit until people inquire, then add more horses as they get adopted out! Breeding stock will likely be fairly young/low points (but with decent PTs) and show ponies will all have in the 100 point range when they go into the barn. But that's just me! Anyone who can donate anything would, I think, be appreciated!Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms

I'm currrently managing an Adoption Herd barn for HaJ 1. Several players are holding their own adoptable horses and others have sent them to me. It is a 120 stall barn, and currently has 36 horse in it. I haven't had much time on either game to sort through my own possible offerings. If needed, I can probably afford another 120 stall barn here for the purpose as well. Just let me know.De gustibus non disputandum. "There's no arguing about tastes."
