So Spacious! So Purple!

To make room for potential new horses in 2019, it was time to upgrade. We replaced this platinum barn:

with this diamond barn:

All barns on HI2 may look the same size from the outside, but like something out of Harry Potter, each progressively more expensive model gets magically bigger on the inside. Yay, the herd instantly gained room to grow!

Our final horses of 2018 have names and tack at long last now too. Here they are!

Ianthe

Oriana

Altai

We recently fluted this silver bay Rocky Mountain Horse and were so hoping for great stats and/or a great personality.

Nope, not this one.

A few days later we fluted another one on the same island!

Not this one either. :(

Such a shame - she's so pretty!

*Sighs* Oh well, none of us are exactly suffering from a lack of mares with luxurious manes.

Bethany and I did some livery stalking this morning. We visited two +5/6 mares for longer than we probably should have. 

The first one was this smoky black Morab:

Her striped hooves and golden eyes are so cool! She's +75 too, which is quite respectable. Just because I was curious, here is the smoky black Morab avatar:

and here is the black Morab avatar:

Smoky blacks are black horses carrying one cream gene. Just like in real life, the smoky black avatar looks a bit faded in comparison to black. Well done, HI2!

The second horse we lingered over was this red dun Spanish Barb:

She's not as elegant as the Morab, but I think HI2's Spanish Barbs are still pretty cute in their own coarse, sinewy, happy way. 

(Love ya, Fort.)

Her avatar, while not at all obviously red dun (I'd have guessed a bright chestnut) is definitely more exciting than the smoky black's:
And she's +74, just one stat point shy of the Morab.

Since we already have Morabs and a very special Spanish Barb in the herd, we figured we'd better be good and resist their charms. When we checked back half an hour later, both were gone. I hope that means they are both now happily adopted! =) 

We'll just have to keep patiently waiting for our first horse of 2019! I sure wonder what he or she will be like!
