kassierae — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 06:01:05 -0700

So yesterday(4/20) was my birthday, and I managed to finally get my 5th gen *Star colt! He's not super fancy color wise, but he is super cute!

Paypal Issue

KerredansCorral — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 04:07:50 -0700

For some reason, Paypal did not take out my automatic payment yesterday (4/19/16), so my HJ2 account is back to a regular account, instead of an upgraded one. I have looked on my Paypal account, and it doesn't even show that it tried to take the payment. My card is still the same card and doesn't expire til 2018, so I don't know why it didn't take the payment. Hopefully it will re-try, but wanted to post about the situation to have a record of it.

I've never seen a white that looks like this before, I think he's cool!

Is transferring possible?

Performance Plus — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 17:46:51 -0700

I asked a question a while ago about changing my Login name as I wasn't sure I was going to stick around, picked a "generic" name for my barn. Anyways I read that we're allowed 3 free accounts so I created a new one with what I wish I would've used when I signed up. I read in rules no selling between the accounts is allowed and I for most part understand why. Is there any way for me to put the desired horses from one barn to the other without getting locked? I plan on letting the other account time back to free and upgrade this one as I would like this one to be my "main" barn.

Just wondering if it's possible

Matching babies

TStorm93 — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 22:15:48 -0700

Scrolling through the list of horses for sale , I stumble across a B papered colt. My interest peaked, my pockets suddenly began to felt heavy. As if I needed to spend money and lighten the load. So I preceded to click the link and check the little guy out.. He looks like this.

The colt was bred/owned by a hayes horses.

As I glanced over the foal , I began to think to myself , "Man , this guy looks awfully close to a colt I have!" So I run to my baby barn and click on Project Gorilla's name. Sure enough , upon VERY CLOSE inspection , I had found my horses twin. Only differences ( besides owners and lines ) is my guy is taller and 6 days older !

Not sure why , but I had gotten a little excited to see twins . ( sort of lol ) Out of AAALLLLL the color combos possible on the game. Anyway , to end this post and see if anyone else had found their horses twin. Has anyone else gotten this lucky before ?

Rank Specials Question

ConfluenceFarms — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 09:13:07 -0700

I was looking at A Hayes mare for sale, didn't recognize the rank, so I pulled up the list on the FB page to see what colors they were. It made me pull up some of the other Rank Special descriptions. Some of them say that they will be equivelant to Ex Perf horses and their PTs will be 10.4, but when I do a search for the tattoos (Bring Back the Sun for example) I see that many of these guys have a PT of 9.9.

The question: Is the 10.4 just a MAX PT they COULD have? or is there something else I don't know about?

Forum pictures

ConfluenceFarms — Sat, 16 Apr 2016 20:57:23 -0700

I just tried to change my little forum picture/avatar and it does not seem to be uploading right. I've noticed that some other folks have the image icon that isn't really a picture, like the same thing has happened to them. I've tried jpeg, png, tiff, bmp, bigger, smaller, etc. I'm trying to upload the exact same pic I used on Shoco/WHG for years but it doesn't want to play. Any suggestions?

Is it considered rude to remove a tattoo from a horse you've just bought? How would you feel?

The Favorite Pony

TStorm93 — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 21:41:51 -0700

Everyone has a barn full of horses , maybe even more than 1. So I know that everyone has that one pony/horse that is by far , the favorite . Whether it looks good , throws great foals , whatever . Post them here , would love to see them . Here is my little girl Ro which means 'Balance' in Dragon-tongue. Which , is very fitting for her.

Not only a cute little mare and one of my first, she is also my highest point earner out of my whole barn .

Is it just me?

ConfluenceFarms — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:40:02 -0700

Or does anyone else, when naming their horses, imagine a ring announcer calling out that name and "owned and trained" by your name and Farm? :D

Curious - Want Your Opinions

PaintsStables — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 09:34:36 -0700

Here's is a genetic puzzle too difficult for me to figure out. So I am going to let some of the member's, that understand genetics a little more than I do, come up with some ideas on how this guy got his white.

First off, I really like this guy, he is all white for now as a colt. He may show a little color when he turns two. With his parents, I couldn't figure out where he got all that white from. So, I color tested him. It says buckskin splash. I will post his link so you can look at his gene pool. Could it come from his SpsSps PAX3c7oy? He does have 1 copy of Ccr, and 1 copy of Ssty. The only thing I came up with is, he just got a lot of splash, and all of him looks like he was dipped in white, instead of part of him.

4 Walla Walla Back: http://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=414834

I rerolled him twice, and he now has blue eyes, Yay! I also took Abbey and Cheers idea on naming him. So he is now 4 Oh My Splashhhhhh.

Big Babies

TStorm93 — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 17:49:08 -0700

does anyone else get excited when their horses produce big babies ? and i'm talking 16.3 + , or is it just me ? here are my biggest babies <3

Project Gorilla

Prototype

Um...what?

ConfluenceFarms — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 16:08:41 -0700

I just posted this girl on another thread and noticed some odd things!

http://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=399384&refresh=y

First thing I noticed was that the tattoo shows a C and an S on the other thread (the one about The Favorite Pony). I refreshed the image and that was corrected.

But then I scrolled down and noticed that she was GMT'd. I don't recall ever having purchased any GMTs on HJ2. And certainly not using one on this mare! And, since I'm not a fan of splash, I don't know that I would ever add it to one of my herd...again, especially not to this mare!

I double checked all my KD games receipts, and couldn't find any that listed a GMT.

Please help me to understand that I am not losing my mind!!

this little guy is bright

Numbering Generations?

Bourbon — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 02:39:39 -0700

I've noticed that there are quite a few ways that people number which generation their horses are? What methods do you prefer?

I personally prefer to use Roman numerals before the name since I can sort quickly. It also makes it easy for me to breed to outside studs since it's broken up in a-z order there too :)

What is a Gulastra Plume?

Kashi — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 13:20:55 -0700

I have not seen one of these could someone please show me what this kind of horse looks like. Thank you

Starting to get a feeling.....

ConfluenceFarms — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 14:51:50 -0700

That y'all don't much care for roans over here! I like me some shiney roan ponies, so I may have to start a line of roans that can't be beat, and show you ALL! :P :))

Liver Chestnut/Chocolate Palominos.

DonkeyGirl — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 08:20:56 -0700

I was told last month to put a Liver Chestnut Frame colt up for 30,000 because he was 'too low.' So this month I put his full sibling, a Chocolate Palomino Splash Appaloosa Frame, for the amount I was told to put his full sibling up for and now can't sell him for that because too many players voted he was too high. Why is this?

Fleabitten Gray

KerredansCorral — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 08:44:03 -0700

Was going though my show horses to see how they are doing, and refreshing their pictures, when I found this fleabitten gray mare. Love the way the tiny flecks of color are showing up! Any favorite ones you have?

Beautiful filly today.

Kashi — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 20:24:58 -0700

Just found this guy in my barn!

HeroduneStables — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 13:38:04 -0700

I hadn't looked at all my foals from a couple game years ago in my other account and I just found this 18 hand stallion! I never got one so big before and couldn't resist showing him off. :)

EDIT: New Two Year Olds

Ritsika — Mon, 28 Mar 2016 14:23:56 -0700

Alas the end of breeding season is here. This means that our young foals will become two year olds in a few days and I'm pretty excited for a few.

Bella Guardia will be a lovely riding horse mare.

This handsome show gelding will be my first spotted draft.

I am so so so excited for this filly. My first homozygous Kit Promoter filly to pass free testing, yay!

Who are you excited to see grownup?

EDIT:
Whoa, look at this hefty boy! What a big cutie pie.

This beauty surprised me. I really like her dark forehead and very expressive body.

I am in love with Bella Guardia. I am going to try for another appy tobiano riding horse combination.

She kept her misty bum markings. I love her even more!

Help? Auction run times

ConfluenceFarms — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 09:13:20 -0700

I am probably missing something pretty obvious, here, but; Is there a reason I can't bid on horses in the public auction? I've tried for the past 3 days and it just sits there. :-/

Lost all my awards

Kashi — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 07:42:13 -0700

Lost all my awards except for 1 second. I guess hj2 was cleaning house too. LOL

Sounds like a stupid question, but:

ConfluenceFarms — Sun, 03 Apr 2016 20:12:31 -0700

On the Horse search, what is the Bred this Year box supposed to show? Because I get 18 year old geldings showing up on the list when I select that box and put in my stable ID.

17+ Year Olds

RoseFlute — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 08:17:08 -0700

I usually start these by saying I don't have anyone old enough, but this month I realized that an SS present is now 17. Is is ChasinTheCash, a Homozygous brown stud with champagne:

http://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=166641

I'll really miss him if he's gone next month. :( I've got at least 20 straws in my freezer, just in case. :P

Who might you lose?
