This has been a more eventful weekend on HI2 than the last one, though. I came dangerously close to impulse-adopting a great mare in the livery last night.
Check out those stats! Even with that cringe-worthy -24 in agility, the rest of her stats are so good that the combined total is still +82! She also reminded me of the Curly mare we still have hanging out in our herd that we intend to sell... eventually:
I thought to myself, Okay, Bethany, let's not be hasty here. She's not +6/6, and her personality leaves much to be desired. "Bashkir" is so early in the alphabet that somebody else is bound to notice her and adopt her. Ride over to city hall and write your letter to our buddy, and if she's still there afterwards, then maybe...
Well, she wasn't still there afterwards, so that settled that! I was kind of bummed out, because it means we still don't have a June horse, but I will try to be patient.
Wait a second, Bethany, you may be thinking. What about that Dartmoor that Julie won at auction back in May? Did Xanadu kick his little sorrel rear?
No, he and Xanadu have not been at odds so far after all, thank goodness. Not sure why. Maybe they are making plans to join forces and rule the herd together, who knows?
To recap on the horses we've decided to keep so far this year, we have:
January: Volante
February: Ghirardelli
March: Quip
April: Nebula
and yes, we did decide to keep Rhodium as our May horse.
That's 3 stallions and 2 mares, which means our June horse really should be a mare.
All the same, I've named the Dartmoor. He's now Yew, both because he's the color of yew wood and because there was a dictator of Singapore named Lee Kuan Yew, a better dictator than many. I've given little Yew some tack too, so here's hoping we'll be able to convince Lily to keep him as our July horse. Keep your fingers crossed!
Moving on, along with the Bashkir Curly mare, I also noticed two aptly-named stallions in the livery last night.
Sorry, guys, but I kind of like your capturer's sense of humor.
This morning, Felicity noticed two more quite nice horses in the livery.
Felicity and Caraway met up with a buddy we hadn't talked to in a long time today. The buddy asked her if she would pick up some premium companions for her new Gypsy Vanners from the pet shop way out in the eastern mountains. Felicity readily agreed - she had time and always likes visiting the mountains. Mission accomplished, she returned and gave our buddy the requested companions... only to realize she'd accidentally gotten 2 falcons instead of a falcon and a raven (the falcon is right above the raven on the pet list...) So, off they went again to pick up the raven, racing the clock to see how soon they could make the round trip. 9 minutes!
The raven was for this amazing stallion. He looks like a bigger, brown-eyed version of my Airbrush!
