Interesting Avatars Part 3

Happy spring, everybody! Here come some more interesting equine HI2 avatars!

Gypsy Vanner: some cool silver dapples with and without blagdon. 
These dark horses have pure white manes and tails 
silver dapple bay: wow, those are some extremely beige legs and hooves! 
They go nicely with the dapples, though.

silver dapple bay blagdon: brown and gold trimmed with snowy white

silver dapple black: it looks like this one has galloped through some mud

silver dapple black blagdon: this one is my personal favorite!
What a striking contrast of black and white!

Iberian Warmblood
perlino: a pale gray body with yellow-gold mane and tail

sooty buckskin manchado: this horse gets both a dark blanket and bright white dapples

Icelandic: mosaic chestnut
This one is probably my favorite of all the mosaic avatars on the game (even though I love them all!) because of the lighter (almost flaxen!) mane and tail.

Irish Cob: dapple grey roan
Check out the light blanket and dapples! 
This avatar looks way more like an appaloosa than a roan.

Irish Sport Horse: dapple rose grey
the mane is a lighter brown than the rest of this horse's points

Kaimanawa: amber champagne
cream body, gray-brown legs, and chocolate mane and tail

Kerry Bog Pony: golden dapple grey
this one's golden chestnut rump and tail refuse to grey... 
and even the gray areas look more cream than grey.

Lusitano: 2 unusual dark horses
smoky black: dark red mane and tail

steel grey: dark dapple grey body with the dark red mane and tail

Marwari: the whites
mottled white: white horse with a bright golden blanket

speckled white: white horse with a subtle pale blanket

Morab: bay gulastra plume
what a lovely flaxen tail!

Felicity will be bringing you the final interesting avatars soon. (Believe it or not, she can fit in the rest of the alphabet in just one post.)

And now for our latest HI2 news.

The mystery of our missing well-crafted English saddle has been solved! Wonderland was wearing it. Felicity put it on him before taking his screenshot for the British Appaloosa post and forgot to take it off afterwards.


Sorry you were stuck wearing a saddle for so long, buddy!

Our other news is about... well... this is going to sound familiar... a certain mare being sold at auction. I noticed her last Saturday morning while auctioning some wild horses.

(One of them was this Sardonyx look-alike, another red roan Belgian stallion) =)


Anyway, the mare was +83, fully trained, and was going to be sold to the foreign bidder in a little over half an hour.


Being pony-sized and having that negative endurance stat probably hurt her chances of being bid on a little, but I was still shocked when, 30 minutes later, Bethany reported that there were still no other bids.


I just couldn't stand by and let her leave the game, so I bid. A long minute later,


So, we're now the owners of Nebula, a pretty, blue-eyed, dun tobiano Icelandic. Since Quip has already asserted her claim on our March slot, we don't know yet if Nebula be staying permanently. We'll see what happens in April.


It's fun having her around now, whatever her future holds. Her avatar is a pretty close representation of her profile pic. She's such a dark shade of dun that she looks more like a bay tobiano than a dun tobiano. =)
