So my show barns are getting pretty crowded again since I bred all 2000 of my pasture mares this season! This means it’s time for another show pony give away.

I will give away 5 homebred show ponies age 10 or younger to everyone who enters this give away. For most of you, at least 4 of the ponies will have 500+ points. You have the option to request a pony that expresses a particular gene and that pony may still be quite young and not have many points yet.

I breed for almost everything in game that has been sold recently (except snowflake, so please don’t ask) so have show ponies with most genes to give away. Remember anyone can own closed gene altered ponies. I don’t have the ice genes that haven’t come up on roving sale yet like Ice 13.

This contest is open to anyone in the game, regardless of how long you’ve been playing or how big your show bonus is. It is also open to extra accounts, but if you choose to enter multiple accounts you need to do a full extra entry for each account.

If you enter, please pick up show ponies promptly. Ponies will be posted in my buddy chat, Show Pony Give Away, as I process entries. Please remember I’m in Australia and therefore not on an American daily schedule like most players...

*It is a condition of entry that you give your show ponies a home for life*

To enter: please fill out the form below

My little sister and I used to sneak watch Hercules: the legendary journeys and Xena Warrior Princess and making popcorn when my parents would go out in the evenings back when we were growing up. I always burned the popcorn (always! It remains the only thing I’m not good at cooking today). Yes, we were very wild children.... anyway, I found the box sets of the two tv shows and am giving them to my sister along with a box of microwave popcorn so she can initiate her own daughter into this ritual! I’m super excited to hear what her reaction is...miss her like crazy!
Optional: I’d love Ice 13 ponies. Really hoping it goes on sale before Christmas!

I am most excited about giving my 5yo (soon to be) stepdaughter her first big powerwheels ride on. We will be customizing it with a light bar, a radio, and a horn in the steering wheel. I can’t wait to see her face on Christmas when we take her to her grandparents to “open” it.

We used to play a lot of Star Wars computer games during university, great memories...

What is the holiday gift you’re most excited about giving this year and why? Real life or in game works:
I absolutely love gifting people but spontaneous gifting tends to be my favourite, obligated gifting like during the holidays is not as much fun as seeing/reading/hearing something and being randomly inspired to gift someone.
For real life, Christmas is not alway my cup of tea due to how commercial and obligatory it has become and how up in the air my life is at the moment. I am working during the holidays so it will be a very quiet one this year.
Next year I am really hoping to be able to go "home" and suprise my mum and sister for Christmas since I have not had a Christmas off or been able to be home for the holidays in over 10 years.
Even so I am looking forward to Christmas here to have my first crack at Secret Santa.
Optional: what special gene would you like?
I am not picky at all. I am happy with the most basic of show ponies but any in closed genes that I do not own would be nice.
Closed genes I DO own are Ice 6, Macchiato, Mushroom, and Chinchilla.

I've been crocheting my daddy a huge blanket and I'm so hoping I can finish it in time to give it to him for Christmas. It's shades of blue the same colors as his eyes lol. But somehow last week I managed to pinch a nerve in my neck and it's really got my arm messed up, so I haven't been able to work on it at all and it's driving me crazy.
Optional: what special gene would you like?
I really love the way ice 9 looks on any color. Watercolor is gorgeous as well, but I'm all good with plain Jane show ponies cause they show just as well as the shiney ones.

Cheers · Nov 12, 2018 1:30 AM

@Windigo—I started making my baby niece a baby blanket as soon as I found out my sister was pregnant. The baby is three and a half now. She might get it before she goes to college.

I’m excited to spoil my dog this December! Pip came into my life on 28/12/17 so this will be our first Christmas together. I’m actually throwing her a party on her adoption anniversary so I’m a little bit scared/nervous to see if any of her canine friends or any of my human ones turn up. She deserves it though, I’m looking forward to making dog-safe pupcakes and other treats xD

Im super excited to shop for my munchkins (niece and nephews) Im crossing my fingers to actually stay with two of them christmas eve until christmas morning.

Also recently acquired (didnt buy...but didnt really "rescue" either lol) an almost 1 year old (his birthday is in a few days!) English Shepherd and hes my first personal dog and Im excited to get him presents as well :))

I'm terrible about saving gifts for the actual day they're supposed to be given - I've already given most of the ones I've been too excited about to wait! My best friend got a super cool harry potter pop up book for her birthday... which is December 18th. Whoops :))
I think the thing I'm most excited about that hasn't been given yet is probably the horses I'm hoarding in my specially designated "gift barn"! I've got so many plans! Shhhh ;)

This is probably going to sound pretty scrooge (because it is) but I don't have any good associations with Christmas and I've grown to hate it. I've actually had Christmas on my own with various animals for the last 6 years, and that's been pretty much it. This year, since it'll be my last in the UK I'm going over my mothers and we've agreed to do gift givings on the condition that it's something small and needed. So this year I'll be stocking up her bathroom and luxuries. I think the thing she'll appreciate the most is the mini spa kit for her for when she's off night shift duties as a care worker so she can actually relax at home.

What is the holiday gift you’re most excited about giving this year and why? Real life or in game works:

About a week before Christmas my older brother is coming back home to Australia for Xmas as he goes to Uni in the UK (we haven't seen him for close to 2 years). So for his Xmas gift from me I have ordered him a custom-made jar of Vegemite with his name on the label. We were practically raised on Vegemite - like every other Australian - so we both absolutely love it, in fact we love it so much we can both be seen eating it straight out of the jar with a spoon. And since he constantly complains how the UK doesn't really sell it over there I thought I would add a nice touch to it, as they only have the inferior substitute; Marmite :-& .

What is the holiday gift you’re most excited about giving this year and why? Real life or in game works.

My uncle gave my mom a black and white print off of one of his favourite pictures North Shore, Lake Superior by Lawren Harris and asked if she would quilt it as a wall hanging (because he loved my appliqué orca wall hanging I gave him several years ago). She’s had it about 2 years now and had no idea where to start because when you break it down there’s like a bajillion pieces to appliqué and that isn’t something we really enjoy doing (the orcas were definitely a one off lol)

While we were at the Royal Winter Horse Show in Toronto last week there was a few people working on needle felting pictures and I was like that could be a way of doing the pic instead because he’d be happy with any medium.

So the next day we stopped and got some supplies and this weekend I photpcopied the pic and cut it into pieces and traced it onto a piece of felt and started needle felting it. I’ve finished the stump and bottom rocks and most of the clouds on the right half. It’s not taking as long as I figured it would so he will probably get it this Christmas

Actually, I forgot Christmas was coming up. Oops. X_X :))
But I would really love to go see my grandmother, and I know seeing her (her seeing me) would be an amazing gift to her. But I also am planning (since I'm broke) coloring my bf some "paint (color) by number" coloring pages from an app on my phone, that let's you save them, so I can send them to him via message, and he can print/hang the ones he wants. Since his birthday is December 11th, I plan to start sending them the from the first, until Christmas, or his birthday until Christmas. Depending on how many I have done by then. I just really hope he likes them. Some of them aren't too easy.

Optional: what special gene would you like?
It really doesn't matter a lot, but I'd love some pointed creates, or if that's not doable, I'd loooove some with any of the closed genes. They're so nice. I don't think I have a mushroom show pony? Ahhh. I'm imagining. 8->
