Friday 13th

It's Friday the 13th!! Superstitious? Many people are about the number 13.  Fear of the number 13 has been given a scientific name: "triskaidekaphobia". Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. Many hotels avoid the 13th floor, reserving it for storage and maintenance or skipping it entirely, due to many people’s morbid fear of the number 13. Some planes also may not have a row 13. An entire series of scary movies was based around that date.

Fortunately for the Amaretto breeders, we have a different reason to LOVE that date. Beginning in April Friday 13th 2012, Amaretto released a random drop of the Friday 13 branding, which can pass.

Then in July 2018 came the Friday the 13th Limited Edition Spirit Board.  The Spirit Board was hiding an Ebony Overo coat that has the ability to pass! The Supernatural eye also passed.

The Spirit Board K-9 was hiding the Ebony Splashed Great Dane. The eye and collar on the Special Edition passed.

The Spirit Board Ponie Pal was hiding the Painted Ebony style coat, which could pass. The eyes on the DE also could pass.

The Spirit Board chicken was hiding the Ebony Faverolles coat that had the ability to pass! The eyes on the Collectors Edition bird could also pass!

If you were one of the lucky breeders who got the random drop Friday 13th branding, or the hidden surprises from the Friday 13th special coats, then Friday 13th has truly become a lucky day!

To further add to the Friday 13th mystique, Amaretto recently announced something special, that could be gotten by breeding Friday 13th brands together. So far I haven't seen anything posted from this breeding. Maybe someone has it and is keeping mum.
