If you could choose two of your favorite horses, who would you choose? Please tell us why chose these two horses. If they were a gift from a player, please tag the player. ;) It'll help keep this post going. :)

Here's my two favorite horses, and they couldn't be more different.

I got this girl from @JustaSaddletramp . :D
She's so beautiful, and I love having her for my pony herd. I haven't even changed her name that they gave her with part of my user in it.

Sprys Morning Pickmeup

This is the other. A lovely draft ice horse. She was a gift from @MariaChapinFarm3 . :D I love her, and do hope she does well in my ice herd, even though most of my ice horses are different generations from each other. Lol. In the future, I'll get my ice herd more even.

Freaky Surprise

DevilsParadise · Jul 7, 2018 3:56 PM

DP RS Knights Legend
My Kings Ransom stud is one. He's the first horse I ever created in this game and he was the first one I ever did GMT work on.

DP 4B MeteorsCrushDreams
This guy I bought from @4StarShowPonies. He caries almost everything that I breed for, plus he's het snowflake and het KP. I've only used him in this season, but I love the variety of babies he produces.

Ragtatter · Jul 7, 2018 4:01 PM

1 Rags Star Lord
Star Lord is my first GMT project ever, and I love him. I still want to put a copy or two of DP on him (I've got until the end of the month, fingers crossed), but I love his markings and the play of white and gold on him. He's also hom snowflake, though he doesn't show it because he's not appaloosa.

1 Rags Glorybringer
Glorybringer is my other fav. She reminds me of a really lovely skein of sock yarn, just waiting to be knit into something soft and wonderful. Hard to believe she started out life as a black horse!

ColorGoodStables · Jul 7, 2018 4:04 PM

Mt ultimate favorites...oh man I have to think for a second
It was a toss up between 3 but I managed to widdle it down

My first choice is this lovely mare. Shes one of my favorites because she is absolutely gorgeous but also because she is a milestone filly. She was one of the few fillies to pass. I GMTed her a little but she was lovely to begin with. I might actually shed a tear when she passes. I'd get premium just to pull eggs from her.
Her half brother (ArtSupplies) was the 3rd horse I almost picked

2e CG Bragging Rights
My second choice was one of my newer finds. He isn't the most loud looking horse but I'm really proud of how he looks. I hope to have him be a hard sire for me for a long time. This month was his first pasture breeding and it went pretty well. I think I need to collect some really flashy mates for him

Painted Dreams · Jul 7, 2018 6:35 PM

This is hard! I love all my ponies! But if I must choose it would have to be these two.

This first boy is my Milestone baby. He was also one of the first horses I did GMT work on. He himself doesn't look super flashy but his foals are amazing! With his combo of white 10, splash 3, and hom DP his foals are hard to beat!

MS 2Treasured Milestone

This girl has been one of my favorites since I bought her from @Wildland Acres quite a while ago. She is an old gal at 20 years old but I have been lucky for her to make it through rollover. She was my first horse with sooty+ and her foals have been top notch breeders and show ponies.

LV 3ThunderRolls

duelinghawks · Jul 7, 2018 6:42 PM

Dhawk PrimReaper SBA
This gorgeous boy was gifted to me by @RoseFlute and he is a second generation brindle, Sooty plus, and a pearl carrier. To me he is more special than my Hidden Gates stud who is the only other I can fairly compare him to.

Out of the Darkness
This boy is my all-time favorite so far. I purchased him as a mare from @NorthernStars when I had just started a liver line, having gotten caught up in the DP craze and I was enamored by the dark and black livers like the Freaky Fridays. I absolutely love the unique Sabino 2 effect on him as it seems to be pretty uncommon. I decided to turn him into a stallion so I could breed the tar out of him lol. I also gave him a 1% breeding boost (which confused me a bit because I was getting
alot of snipped babies at first breeding him to red mares). After some trial and error, I realized that he needed to be bred to high red/low blue mares to hit the sweet spot. He is also my inspiration to start a sabino line.

MariaChapinFarm3 · Jul 7, 2018 8:13 PM

Aww, spry! Im so glad to hear that freaky surprise is one of your favorite horses!

:D

Here are my two (which are both very different from each other as Well!):

Although this girl is inconsistent, I absolutely LOVE her markings and color. She was also a gift from a kind friend :) @SpryOfJune (thank you again! Seriously, I'm so happy with her :3 )

2336138SatosFoalMCF3

Aaand this is my second boi that I'm in love with! I love absolutely everything about him, I'm sooooooo happy with how he came out. :p thank you ammit for putting the genes on sale, or else I wouldn't have been able to get this cutie! ♡

WhiteMountain · Jul 7, 2018 10:53 PM

My favorite horses were hard to choose, but here they are:
Meteoric Ripple came to be by way of @Dinascar, who generously sold him to me to help increase the size of my drafts. His sooty brown color is also where hope to go with my breeding program.

WM 4A Meteoric Ripple

Tiny Chantrelle was created just a few days ago with a straw from @Kintata's lovely sooty+ mushroom stallion Portabello. I love her sooty+ gene, her w8 gene, and her blue papers! Not bad for G2. (And thank you all for explaining how breeding boosts work so I could match the best mares to Portabello.)

WM 2Blue Chantrelle

HTRanch · Jul 8, 2018 1:29 AM

I was given this guy by @HunterUnderSaddleGirl. Right now, he is my highest pointed pony and my second highest point earner. Plus, those handsome green eyes...

Z brz The Afterthought

And my other favorite is definitely my new ice9 foundation. The ice pattern against his coat reminds me of a deep, dark forest in winter.

horsey2 · Jul 8, 2018 6:44 AM

My favourite 2 horses on the game would have to be

This boy cause he will hopefully be my first GMT project, and he is perfect for what I want in my lines.

1g PS Hidden Royal

And also this boy because he was my first rarish RS boy. He is kings ransom which is my favourite non one time RS

1g P Specialty

SilverAleki · Jul 8, 2018 10:27 AM

I love reading about other people’s favourite horses :D Mine was a hard choice as I have about 5 horses I consider to be my favourites but I’ve narrowed it down to 2 haha.

This boy was the very first who came to mind when I saw this question asked. He was the foal I got from my Mr Meteoric Milestone straw. At the time I’d just about finished my breeding fir the year, was a fairly new player and didn’t really know what I was doing. I created a blue roan foundation mare on a whim just to use the straw and this boy was the result. He passed testing but I very nearly gelded him for being inconsistent. Thank goodness I didn’t! He has completely revolutionised my breeding program. Everything changed because of him haha. He is a brilliant sire and appears in a lot of exceptional horses pedigrees. I’m very proud of him.

SA Millionaire 2G het snf

My second boy I own thanks to @Willoway who very, very kindly sold him to me when I approached them out if the blue and asked to buy him haha. I adore his colour and had always dreamed of owning something like him. I bred him to a few mares this season and his foals are the most striking, beautiful foals I own.

Wolfgang Pride · Jul 8, 2018 12:51 PM

I only decided to choose from my 1-2yr olds because I have so many it would take me forever.
I'd probably say this girl because she's a *Gold 5G full pasture filly 12.2 pt 17.2hh oof

5G Iced Spirit
And this boy for obvious reasons he's stunning he papered A and tested aga his sire he's not the best but its amazing he passed sadly he did get frame but I can take that off him

Well, upon creating this post--- this was not my intention. But I have a question for you all. If your horses are of age, not geldings, and you're willing---and depending on the price... Would you be willing to sell straws from the boys you pictured?

HTRanch · Jul 8, 2018 6:49 PM

Spry, the first horse I posted is a gelding. The second is a stud, but I checked your page and it does not appear you own ice9. Do you own it and it is not showing up?

If you don't own ice9, I can see what I have for snipped show horses when I get done breeding.

SpryOfJune · Jul 8, 2018 6:52 PM

@HTRanch
Oops! I knew the first was a gelding, and knew the second was an restricted Ice, but--- I totally forgot in the middle of posting... If you wanna find a snipped foal, you may, but you don't have to. :)

HTRanch · Jul 8, 2018 6:53 PM

I'll make a note :)

SpryOfJune · Jul 8, 2018 6:54 PM

@HTRanch
Thank you.

ColorGoodStables · Jul 8, 2018 7:18 PM

@SpryOfJune of course! The first horse I posted is a mare but I am currently collecting straws to sell publicly from the freakyfriday stud. How many would you like and what is your ID

Here is the mares half brother. If you'd like straws from him I can get you a few of those as well

2e CG ArtSupplies

friesianpaints · Jul 8, 2018 7:22 PM

I decided to pick one lined and one foundation but I honestly have several favorites so made it really hard to pick two lol

This one is my first evenly bred *star baby and carries some of my favorite genes

G6 MHF STAR whtm lvr prl

And this guy is black liver which I adore plus brindle making him even more gorgeous and has been a great sire for me

G1 MHF Heza Spicy Squash

SpryOfJune · Jul 8, 2018 7:28 PM

@ColorGoodStables
Depending on the price of them, maybe 2 per stud? I'd sure love some from both. But I'd need to know how much before I agree. Lol. I have no clue what I'm getting myself into.

@friesianpaints
How much for straws from the RS?

Painted Dreams · Jul 8, 2018 7:34 PM

My first horse is a stud and I would be happy to sell you a couple straws. I typically charge 10K per straw but I could send over a couple over at half price. How many would you like?

SpryOfJune · Jul 8, 2018 7:42 PM

@Painted Dreams
I'm certain it's not a bad price for his straws, but it's a lot more than I can dish out at the moment. I would have wanted two, but I'll get back to you at a later time, when I actually have the money, and can get some. Lol. Sorry if this didn't sound nice from me. It just shocked me, cuz I've never ended up paying much cuz I rarely buy straws, and some other stuff has been going on. So, you can always feel free to ignore me. Lol

MariaChapinFarm3 · Jul 8, 2018 7:47 PM

@SpryOfJune i sent you a little gift ;) check your PMs.

DevilsParadise · Jul 8, 2018 8:09 PM

@SpryOfJune, all of my studs are available for straws. Their prices are on each guy's page :)

SpryOfJune · Jul 8, 2018 8:58 PM

@MariaChapinFarm3
Thank you. ;;)

@DevilsParadise
At some point in my (or their) life, I'll be getting straws. Just not today. Lol. 8->

@Painted Dreams
I can now take one straw from your boy. Thanks to a lovely person. :D

Riverstone18 · Jul 8, 2018 9:22 PM

I picked 2 of my most cherished horses :3

This boy is lined all the way to my first (Or second...i was really new to it and dumbfounded) foundations i ever owned when i started HJ2. i owned his dam (Spotted Ellie) and his grand dam (Eva) and his great great grand dam which is my first RS named "Shes SO Fancy Pants" which was a Shades of Pale mare that i never knew was an RS til i acknowledged what RS's were :))

RST4g Liberty Spot

This is from my first SS gift from last year :) i cherish her because @ParadisePark basically helped me interact with alot of other players and i got to come out of my shell and actually do something and have fun for once.

RST3 MyChocolateParadise

SpryOfJune · Jul 8, 2018 9:33 PM

@Riverstone18
Would you mind if I got a straw from your boy? This so wasn't the intention of this post, but the lovely Stallions and me having basic upgrade make it so dang hard! =))

Riverstone18 · Jul 8, 2018 9:38 PM

=)) sure lol and yeah i know how you feel when i got my basic for the first time lol

duelinghawks · Jul 8, 2018 9:41 PM

@spryofjune yes I am always willing to sell straws from any of my stallions. It is one of the best ways to help other players along in the game!

SpryOfJune · Jul 8, 2018 9:45 PM

@Riverstone18
I forgot I had wanted 2. Can I get another?

@duelinghawks
How much per straw/Stallion are you asking?

SilverAleki · Jul 8, 2018 9:50 PM

@SpryOfJune I sent you a straw from each of the boys I posted. Good luck with your breeding :D

Riverstone18 · Jul 8, 2018 9:54 PM

Yeah :3 hope you get a nice couple of foals from him :3

SpryOfJune · Jul 8, 2018 11:22 PM

@SilverAleki
@Riverstone18
Thank you!!

horsey2 · Jul 9, 2018 12:31 AM

@SpryOfJune my first boy (the HG stud) is still getting GMT work but I can sell you some from Specialty (the KR stud) I will halve the price from 3k to 1.5k if you would like ;)

ColorGoodStables · Jul 9, 2018 12:37 AM

@SpryOfJune
It seems like your are celebrating your first basic upgrade, right? I'll sell 2 from each stud for 500 each (that collection price) and give you an additional 2 each for free!
I remember years ago when I was brand and got my first upgrade ;)

SpryOfJune · Jul 9, 2018 12:51 AM

@horsey2
I assumed he was.
If you wanna do that for the other Stud, I certainly can't complain. I shouldn't, either. Lol

@ColorGoodStables
I had the basic before, but I just recently was able to make it for 1 year. And I'm very happy about it. I don't have to worry about needing it for an entire year! It's been a pleasant thing to have, given the past week I've had in real life. So, I'm making use of being pleased.

Xceptional · Jul 9, 2018 3:25 AM

I bought this guy from @RoseFlute. He is just beautiful and was just what I was looking for.

V Heimdall 5

And this because he started out with me on one of my other accounts. So he has been with me from almost the beginning.

X Prime Cowboy 2 Prl

Painted Dreams · Jul 9, 2018 3:34 AM

@SpryOfJune I sent you over two. One as a present from me. I'm glad you like him. Just be sure to breed him to red papered mares to get the most out of his straws. I hope he gives you fancy babies! I know he has given me some great ones!

SpryOfJune · Jul 9, 2018 3:56 AM

@Painted Dreams
Thank you... I'll be sure to remember that... Thanks... I need to paper all my mares that aren't yet papered... At least the ones that aren't foundations...

WhiteMountain · Jul 9, 2018 3:24 PM

@SpryOfJune
Of course! Just pm about any stallions I have that you feel could enhance your goals.

SpryOfJune · Jul 9, 2018 3:38 PM

@WhiteMountain
I will... For now, it's just the one(s) here, but yeah...

Lallyhop · Jul 9, 2018 7:25 PM

For one favorite, it has to be this boy - my very first serious GMT project. I still swell up with pride looking at him! @Bandit1119 kindly sold him as an untouched SPW to me when I was looking for something to put Macchiato on. He's what kickstarted my Pocket Watch addiction! =))

SPWM Coffee Time

My second pick (though I have more favorites, it's way too hard to choose!) has to be my Ren boy.

S Alagan Dhiren Rajaram

@RedDeeFarms very graciously agreed to sell him to me when I stumbled across him in my horse searching and fell in love. I was looking for a white-tiger-like horse to give the name Ren after the character in Tiger's Dream, a book series that is very near and dear to my heart. Out of the millions of horses in the game, this boy was the only one that looked like I was hoping for. (Bonus points: after I bought him, I realized he was bred by @Tigeria. Tiger! Out of all the coincidences.) This was even before I realized the value of a Nanotech Primer, and yet RedDee wonderfully still let me buy him. I'm still absolutely in love with him and I'm hoarding straws! It's going to break my heart when this beautiful boy passes on.

RideOutPro · Jul 9, 2018 7:56 PM

So hard to pick from .....
Top pick for stallion
Is my red myst boy i got him from
@ApollosLegacy and i absolutely adore him and his offspring, i love kit m horses or w8 horses honstly anything flashy i blame my A.D.D lol

RideOutPro · Jul 9, 2018 7:59 PM

And my fave mare would be miss. Pixie

PixieHollowPro

SpryOfJune · Jul 9, 2018 8:27 PM

@RideOutPro
How much for straws from your lovely KitM boy? :D

ShelteredShadows · Jul 10, 2018 2:30 AM

I have a lot of horses that I really like, and more than a few that I can't bring myself to ever get rid of, but only two are actually near and dear to my heart.

The first is this pretty little stud from @ParadisePark. I had been dreaming about a Nexus line since I started this game, and had finally gotten a few hets to start with, but I knew I wanted a hom stallion someday. When Paradise posted about this little man in the chat, I knew he was the one. Thank you so much, Paradise! He's still absolutely perfect.

SSN Shooting Star

And the second is this lovely boy. He was a random Cherry Drop create that I made on the anniversary of my leaving the Army, and he looks identical to two horses I knew in the service. He's also my promise to myself that I'm going to make it through the bad times. So there is no pixel pony that will ever mean more.
