Of the Shadows .:من الظلال:.

[shadowheart2006]

Okay, I've never really done one of these before, so here goes...

Echoing Winter Burns
Farm owned by shadowheart2006
Brand - {乇山乃}
I put this brand on all horses that pass through my possession, unless I am holding them for another player, as well as giving them either a name from somewhere in their pedigree or a name that I think is cool if I can't find anything good in the pedigree. All names will have two words.

Current Goals:
Ranked from most to least pressing, or in other words the ones that will likely be completed soon at the top, the ones that will take longer to complete at the bottom.
Finish training all of the grinders for my business and then open my own training business or find a club to train for.
Breeding quests.
Grind enough PT to become premium.
Max out training stats (most are already at 20 but I would like to get as many as possible to 40).
Once I can train and when I have time and am bored, will use my other account's PT to get horses from the AC and train and champ one of each breed. Just because.

Breeding projects:
Leopard TB's
Pearl (Different dilutions) TB's

My current training stats:

10.00%Basic Training Bonus
-40.00%Training Intensity Reduction
20.00%Agility Training Bonus
7.50%Balance Training Bonus - Will be next to improve
4.50%Intelligence Training Bonus - Will be improved after tempo
20.00%Movement Training Bonus
20.00%Speed Training Bonus
20.00%Stamina Training Bonus
6.00%Strength Training Bonus - Currently improving to 20%
3.00%Tempo Training Bonus - Will be improved after balance

I am currently training this guy. He was started as a newborn so I can finally see exactly how long it takes me to fully train.

Well, that's all I can think of for now...I'll update this as I go along. Thanks for reading

My old logo (no longer relevant but I didn't want to just delete it). Thanks so much to Emlyn for making it for me!!

[shadowheart2006]

Well, I'm bored and out of turns and this thing is WAAAY out of date, so I think it's time to update it.

10.00%Basic Training Bonus
-40.00%Training Intensity Reduction
20.00%Agility Training Bonus
20.00%Balance Training Bonus

The fastest I've trained a horse, to this point, is 2 years 3 months, and about 10 minutes. I do not have a training forum, but I do train on request. Please do not request training on this forum, it will be ignored.

I have also changed my brand! This is my new brand .:من الظلال:., and it will be on all horses bred by me and all horses that I purchase. The only horses that will not get this brand are ones that I am holding, popping, champing, training etc. for someone else. من الظلال means Of the Shadows in Arabic, which is my farm name.

My side accounts:

Primary side: Frozen Shadows - Boarding/holding. Horses will not age on this account.

Secondary side: Racing Shadows - Competing, overflow holding. Horses will not age on this account.

Tertiary side: Casting Shadows - Was originally supposed to be a breeding account, but I usually just do this on my main account so it's become overflow holding as well. Horses do not currently age on this account. This account does not get used very often.

Current Project:

Crummy foal/Low HGP. ON HOLD.

I had purchased 2 stallions and 1 mare, each with a HGP of roughly 11.5k from the market (I'd been wanting to start on this project for a while but didn't feel like starting from scratch so was waiting until I could find a cheap breeding pair of Low Gp horses.

After about a day and a half of breeding, I have two mares just above 10k, and one stallion just above 11k. Throughout my breeding I've noticed that colts/stallions tend to be better overall than fillies/mares. I've already bred two mares under 11k Gp, but cannot seem to get a stallion that low.

My lowest Gp stud:
11024


My two mares:
10981

10793



Regardless of which pair I try, every foal I've gotten since these three popped have had higher Gp than their parents. Any tips or advice from someone who's successfully completed this project or is in the process of completing it and has helpful observations would be very welcome.

Upcoming projects:

Lusitano breeding project: Breeding a horse or horses to look like my RL horse, DaVinci. More information can be found on my farm page.

Next 12 breeding quests:
In order:
Kathiawari
Konik

Persian Arabian
Pindos Pony
Riwoche
West African Barb
Abyssinian
Akhal-Teke
Ardennias
Ob

[shadowheart2006]

I think I'll just start from the top with a Kathiawari. Doesn't look too hard (famous last words).
Kathiawari - BALADI (NABXARAB) X (ARABXTURK).

I think first step is to purchase books for all of the required breeds, as 5* evals will be a necessity.

Purchased books, now to find horses on the market with 5* evals

Arab mare that I can breed with both NAB and Turkmene stallions. I do not care about COI at this point.
ARAB


NAB stallion
NAB


Turkmene stallion
TURK

Edit*

I didn't realize that an arabian and a turkmene made and akhal teke, so there's another quest completed totally by accident .

Anyway... I have bred a baladi and an akhal teke (unfortunately they're both colts so I'll need to rehome the akhal and try again) although I'm not sure it's supposed to be an akhal teke, it may need to be an arabxturk for this to work... we'll see...

am I allowed to post here? But I saw it said you board horses. Is that public? I’m looking for a good boarder

I do not board horses for the public.
