Horse Socks!

Hi Everyone!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend, Today I want to take a look at the Sock traits available in the horses.

These are great to mix in with your projects!

The Sock trait was introduced with the Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses that were on sale from February 7, 2013 through February 22, 2013.

On February 7, 2013 a twist to the Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses was announced. If you breed a Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses with a Limited Edition 2013 Valentine Horses you will have the ability to get a new trait called Socks.

Please note that socks are an alternative to hoof traits so you may only have one or the other on a horse

From October 1, 2013 through October 9, 2013 the Limited Edition 2013 Fall Horses were on sale. By breeding these Limited Editions with any other horse you had the chance at getting 1 of 4 new Sock colors, Black, White, Green or Rainbow.

The Sock trait CAN be passed on. Wiki Link HERE

Until next time,

Hugs Marku

Did you hear…….

Hello everyone its THURSDAY \o/
In case you didn’t know thats the one before FRIYAY!

So I wanted to reach out to you guys because of something that I love that happens within any group of people and that is rumors and myths!

We all have heard them, ya know like white eyes pass easier than green, or if you birth your bundles 3 at a time it increases your chances of getting male!

The crazier the better have you heard about the one where I bit a head off a horse?

Ok maybe that didnt happen, or did it?

I want to hear from you guys whats the best myth or rumor you have heard about Amaretto?
Think about it put on a nc for me and send it on over next Thursday I want to address all the myths and rumor note cards that I get!

We may even have to put some new ponies myths down on the book and add them to our Myth Busters class!

I can’t wait to hear what you guys have to say! This is Ava over and out! Happy breeding everyone!

January Beauties!

Let’s talk AMOC!

Hey everyone hope your weekend is going great and that depending where you live you are staying warm or cool!!

Let’s talk about the Amaretto Market Owners Coalition aka AMOC. As some of you may know AMOC is a group consisting of market owners and breeders who work together to keep breeding fun and to promote stabilization in the secondary market.

 

 

AMOC has General Meetings every month on the 2nd Friday at 1 pm at the Amaretto University & Events Sim as well as a variety of events and hunts!
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Amaretto%20Ranch%20Haven/98/157/21

Speaking of hunts the 16th BunKenNestKetHunt will take place the weekend of March 30th-April 1st.  This hunt is open to group members only and includes bundles (Bun), kennels (Ken), Nests (Nest) and baskets (Ket)  as well as special prizes!!  Remember if you plan on participating in the hunt you must be a group member prior to the day of the hunt as group joins will not be given out once it begins. Joining this group is by invitation only so if you would like to take part please contact any AMOC officer and they will be happy to send you an invite.

So how do you keep up with events? How do you submit a designer breedable?  How does your sim participate as a hunt location? Read all about it right here https://amoc.discussion.community/
