Christmas In July - everyone's invited!
  • Since this community has been so wonderfully amazing, I’d like to do something in return - and what better activity than Christmas gift-giving? :D

    I will be giving away five special straws. There are six studs you can get a straw from, and the winner can pick which one they want. Two winners can choose the same stud, there are just six options in order to have a little something for everyone. Two have closed genes, and four of them are all open genes, so everyone can play.
    Furthermore, in order to allow even free accounts to play, I can make a foal for you from the straw and sell you the foal.


    How to enter

    Give someone a gift! More specifically, find someone you've never talked to before, and look through their barn to see what they like. Try to thoughtfully choose a gift that would help them out or that they would really appreciate. Whether that's a show pony, straws, eggs, or hbs, anything goes! Extra points for creativity!

    For gifts that require some sort of action on their part, such as picking up a show pony for 1hb or using a 1hb breeding to a stud, if you don't have your own chatroom, send me a private message to let me know, and I will add you and them to a private chat I have set up for this purpose.

    To enter, please reply with this form.

    The winner will be chosen based on a random number generator, but I would like to see time and thoughtfulness put into your gift. Do it to make someone happy, and not just to get an entry! If your entry is especially thoughtful or creative, I'll assign a second number to you, giving you two entries and therefore twice the chance to win.

    The recipient's ID number: 11524 @Wildland Acres

    How you found them:
    I decided to look at the users online page to see if there was anyone I didn’t know/hadn’t done business with before. And out of the 40 users it turned out I didnt know 34 of them, so I randomly chose one and that lucky person turned out to be Wildland Acres.

    Gift given:
    A stallion

    Why you chose that gift:
    I chose that gift because I unfortunately have no use for my stallion as his genetics turned out to be too advanced for my current program, and I saw on their page that they had Splash M horses, which is what my stallion possess. And hopefully he’ll be able to fulfill his genetic potential with them.

    Which stud you want a straw from if you win:
    SPWN Coffee Time
