A Post-Valentine Surprise

We've found our first +6/6 wild horse for 2019! It's only February, so we're already off to a more promising start than in 2018, when our only +6/6 wild came to us in August (Hugo the dark brown Percheron). Can you guess which one of these lovely mares it is?

Is it...

A. This red dun Missouri Fox Trotter with a surprisingly light mane?


B. This stealthy dapple gray Shire?


C. This piebald Argentine Polo Pony who dared approach a Dwobbit dwelling? (She really did choose to be there - she wasn't fluted.)


D. This ocean-loving light brown Irish Draught?











The










answer










is









D! Felicity and Vivaldi fluted her on Dumbbell Isle, our first +6/6er from that island. That makes two browns in a row!

She's the most common color of the bunch (of course), but she's about as pretty as browns get. Her points are such a deep chocolate that she almost looks like a bay. She has adorable markings, including a star, a snip that shouldn't be there according to her Gen Markings, and a short sock with a dark spot just like Palladium's!

She's also the same height as our first Irish Draught mare, Galena.

We've now captured 3 +6/6 Irish Draughts. That means we've captured more +6/6 Irish Draughts than any other breed! <3 This mare has the highest stats of the 3, an impressive +82! She's a keeper for sure!


Still curious about the other three mares we've recently caught? Here they are:

As gorgeous as she is, it's kind of a relief that her stats don't make the cut. Two dictators in the herd is plenty! Her profile also makes it more understandable why her avatar's mane is so light. I love the two-tone effect some dun horses' manes get!

Aw, aren't ginormous Shires great? Her avatar is pretty great too. Here's a better look at what that tree was hiding:


Since we don't have any Argentine Polo Ponies in the herd yet and since this one is a pinto besides, I was really hoping she'd have herd-worthy stats when she caught her. No such luck.

Really, though, one +6/6er is plenty for right now, especially since Bethany is so adamant about that definitely not +6/6 Florida Cracker mare she's already calling Coquina. *Sighs*
