Well, I'm sorry to report that Bethany did not find any amazing wild horses on her birthday last Sunday. Instead, it was a long streak of unremarkable, low stat wilds. We've found a few fun wilds since then, though:
One of the most oddly-shaped Mediterranean wilds we've seen...
and there have been some doozies. XD
Wow, brindle, pearl, and pinto all on the same pony!
One of those perfectly-auto-named wilds
A cute, speckly cream pearl sabino pony
Ooh, amber champagne silver with sky blue eyes!
Flaxen brindle pearl tobiano. So fancy!
Yesterday was Friday the 13th! It would've been highly appropriate to find our 13th lucky find... but we didn't catch any wilds that day... just came on long enough to feed and water the horses and craft some (wrong type) saddle pads. Whoops, our bad.
I guess the game really wanted us to have that 13th lucky find anyway, though, because it gave us one today!
Thanks to random wonderland and jungle wilds, we were at our horse max at the time. Trondheim and I had just finished delivering a letter and were about to head back to Twixie Twills Village to unload when more sparkles appeared. We're so glad I decided to follow them, even if it did tick all our horses off to briefly go over our max.
This one stood out like a sore thumb from typical jungle wilds!
My guess was Noriker, but he's a Gypsy Vanner! I didn't even know Gypsy Vanners came in leopard appaloosa, but it's awesome that they do! <3 Appropriately, both of his eyes are indeed blue.
His performance metrics and personality aren't stellar, but he should be fine under saddle as long as we don't ask him to do anything scary!
We're all thrilled to finally have a leopard appaloosa in the herd, and a lucky find with tons of hair and feathers to boot! Felicity is the most thrilled, obviously, and called dibs on him immediately.
In case you are having trouble handling the excitement like Felicity is, before I go, enjoy these nice, calming summery photos from Mom's recent visits to the lakeshore:
Queen Anne's Lace closeup
This trail was scorching in the sun and swarming with mosquitoes in the shade... but pretty!
A much happier monarch than that windblown one on the beach
This friendly little guy spent a good 20 minutes crawling on Mom and her phone while she was watching the sunset from the pier.
The sunset: serene and pastel
Boats heading back in, including a cool replica of an early 1800's sailing ship
The afterglow, complete with Dreamworks moon
Nice work, whoever made this!
Until next time, Lake Michigan!
