Happy Hump Day Fellow Breeders

How can you tell if your horse is a racer and how do you utilize the traits for breeding fun?

When the version 3.5 Horse update came out on July 6, 2012, exciting new racing traits were hidden in new starters. You have a chance at the racing traits by breeding any horse with a starter horse or by breeding together two starter horses. Racing traits ARE passable. So, you can get racing traits, also, by breeding horses that already have them. When the Racing traits pass they can pass as the same class, one class higher, one class lower or two class’s lower. (This is based on the shown racing trait, not hidden traits.)

The racing traits consist of a Speed Class and a Stamina Class. Speed is the sprinting speed of a horse. Speed is ranked using the following Class system:

S = 3x ARS (Highest Possible Class) 50 minutes of training time
A = 2.5x ARS 45 minutes of training time
B = 2x ARS 40 minutes of training time
C = 1.5x ARS 35 minutes of training time
D = ARS (Lowest Possible Class) 30 minutes of training time
*ARS stands for Avatar Run Speed

Stamina is the amount of time a horse can sprint with recharging. Stamina is ranked by using the following Class system:

S = 50 seconds of sprinting and 50 minutes of training time
A = 45 seconds of sprinting and 45 minutes of training time
B = 40 seconds of sprinting and 40 minutes of training time
C = 35 seconds of sprinting and 35 minutes of training time
D = 30 seconds of sprinting and 30 minutes of training time

You can, also, train a horse and change/increase its speed and stamina class by training them. Experience or XP, is gained through training. To move from one class to the next you must train from 0% to 100% in the current Class of that field. XP gains as follows:

Class D gains XP @ .5% per minute of training
Class C gains XP @ .4% per minute of training
Class B Gains XP @ .3% per minute of training
Class A Gains XP @ .1% per minute of training

To race or train your horses, you need the racing HUD. To get the HUD, simply click on the horse for the Menu. Then click the Help button and select HUD to have an Amaretto Horse HUD sent to your Objects folder. Next, add the HUD to your avatar. For racing or riding, you will pick up your horse into your inventory and add it to your avatar as well. Click the connect button on the HUD to connect your horse.

Find detailed instructions on how to use the HUD for racing and training here: https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=HUD_/_Racing
*It is important to note that once a horse with racing traits is retired (pass the age of 120 days), it not only will it be unable to breed, but you will, also, not be able to train or race a retired horse.

Amaretto has a racetrack available for you to race anytime! Check it out here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Amaretto%20Ranch%20Haven/148/37/2489

HELP my bundle didnt drop!

So your breedable baby didn’t drop when it should but the mother is showing recovery? The first thing recommended is to check your prim allowance, then rerez the mother. If you dont have enough prims for the baby to drop you can temporarily pick up another object. Always make sure she is rezzed in the land group. She will try to rez again.
If nothing happens at first, try waiting an hour or so for another attempt. If all else fails, you can file a ticket with Amaretto by logging in to the support site http://support.amarettobreedables.com/index.php They will need the information on the mother including her UUID which you can get by editing her and copy/paste the info on the description line to the ticket. Remember to check back on the ticket itself in case of further instructions from your CSR.
Happy Breeding and Good Luck!

Happy Saturday everyone hope you are having a terrific day!

Happy Breeding!!

Hey everyone its MONDAY! I hope that its been a a great day for you! I wanted to show off something that I have had a few of you ask me about, its a chance to set the record straight.

So lets get to it! Have you seen a Gold Crystalline wing?

Well if you havent it looks like this!

Isnt this wing amazing! Well I think it is! So how do you get your hands on one?
Well this wing is available from any breeding combination of the Gacha Filigree horses!

It doesnt matter if you have common, rare, or even an ultra rare, any breeding gives you a shot at getting this wing! Once you get the Gold Crystalline wing it DOES have the ability to pass. AKA Show it to throw it!

I hope that you guys think this wing is as awesome as I do! I can already think of all the different projects that can be done!

If you didnt go get some Gacha Filigree horses you still can over at the main horse location! This is Ava over and out! Happy Breeding!

Hello everyone! We all survived Monday and here we are Tuesday! I just wanted to share a little reminder of all the awesome things going on at Amaretto this month!

We have several Amaretto Events going on in the month of September! So if you haven’t attended one there is no time like the present!

We also have all this months ARU classes scheduled so be sure to check the calendar out and see what classes you might need!

Look for a new Amaretto ARU and Event Calendar at the start of each month! I hope to see you at pictionary on Thursday! This is Ava over and out!

Greetings Fellow Breeders!

Today, we remember a day that forever changed the United States. The greatest terrorist attack in American history took place on the morning of September 11, 2001, when four planes were hijacked. Two crashed into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one into a field in Pennsylvania, after passengers tried to stop the hijackers from using the plane as a weapon.

The attacks killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage.

Following this tragedy, the American people displayed a sense of patriotism and pride for their country and stood united to help their fellow citizens. As a result, a Congressional bill was passed unanimously to proclaim September 11 as Patriot Day.

AMARETTO REMEMBERS

On September 11, 2014, Amaretto released a random drop eye to remember September 11. Horse, K9 and Barnyard Bird breeders had a chance at one of these memorable eyes. These eyes DO have the ability to pass.

We can all observe this day by pausing for a moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attack.

Until next time…Happy Breeding!

Hello everyone! We have almost made it to FRIYAY! I know this week has flown by for me. Amaretto has still been busy with our nose to the grind! I wanted to take a few moments to show off a little Golden Glitter!

What am I talking about? Well did you know that if you breed any Filegree Gacha K-9s that you have a chance at getting a Golden Glitter Nose?!

I love this trait!

Remember ANY breeding of a Filigree will give you a chance at getting this shiny nose! You can read up on the Filigree Gachas here: https://amarettobreedables.com/blogs/5/178/new-filigree-gachas

Well until next time this is Ava over and out! Happy breeding everyone!

Ava why isn’t my horse gaining fervor?? I get this question at least once a day! So i wanted to go over a few reason why this may not be happening!

The number one culprit is that your horse is not at least 75% happy! If a horses happiness is under 75% it will not gain fervor.
So why might your horse not be over 75% happy?? Lets go through the check list.

Is there a salt lick out?
Is the salt lick a old salt lick?
Is the salt lick set to the proper group?
Is the horse within range of the salt lick?
Is the horse over 7 days old?
Are scripts turned on?
Is the horse asleep?
Is the horse latest version?
Does the horse say eaten pet food?

These are all the question I ask my self when someone says the horse is not over 75% happiness. If after checking all those things off the list you have some options. You can ride the horse to see if their happiness will rise, you can give it Sugar Cubes this will increase one of your horses happiness by 15%, or give your horse a cocktail this will increase energy, happiness and fervor by 5% and decrease hunger and thirst by 5%.

After all checks and trying these options your horse will still not get over 75% happiness its time to file a ticket and let the pros take a look and see if they can find the issue. A CSR may ask for a slurl to your horse in world so we can come check your settings
How do you get a slurl?
1. Go to where your horses are in world.
2. Open the world map.
3. Click the Copy SLurl button.
4. Use control+v to paste the SLurl in your ticket!
You can file a ticket here:

http://support.amarettobreedables.com/

Its important to know all of these trouble shooting tips if not for you then maybe your breeder friends or someone in the group!Well this is Ava over and out happy breeding everyone!

How do i play fetch with my Amaretto dog?

First select a dog to use, make sure its awake, then turn on movement. If you don’t already have a hud, click the dog menu/help/get HUD. After attaching the HUD, click dog menu/ HUD then connect on the hud. It should change to connected and the dog’s name will appear over the connected part

Click the Get Ball button – This will send a ball to your objects
Wear the Ball – it will attach to your hand
Click Ball to set range for the distance at which the ball will be thrown. You can chose from 20, 40, 60, or 100 meters. Make sure you dont throw it off your own land
Click the Fetch button on your HUD
You will see the mouse look button at the bottom of your screen click that to go into mouse look
Aim where you want to throw the ball and left click your mouse to throw the ball
Your K-9 will run and retrieve the ball and bring it back to you as you will see it back in your hand and you can throw it again and again while your K-9 retrieves it for you.

One of the benefits of playing fetch or even just attaching the dog to the HUD is that they receive an incremental boost in happiness. When you are done playing with that K9 just click disconnect, and remember to put the dog back by it’s food and reset home

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you are all having a terrific day! Today I want to shine the spotlight on the Amaretto Haven Horses.

Name Those Drops!

I’d just like to revisit an old post of mine about renaming your Amaretto drops. I know there is a limit on characters in each of Amaretto’s breedables, but you CAN work with that and still have the info you need when renaming. When renaming horse bundles you may get this message-Your name is longer than 36 characters or contains faulty characters. Try again and use abbreviations whenever possible and remember some characters aren’t allowed

The limits on characters when naming are
36 for horses
30 for K9s
36 for ponie pals
36 for barnyard birds

Some symbols not allowed when naming are ( ) and *. Ponie Pals also do not allow the slash symbols.

Remember when naming to try using a system that is easy for you to remember. It will be a great help when searching your hoard…er…inventory for items you need for a special project, and it can help if you need to file a ticket and don’t have the UUID. Not to mention it can be fun to come up with inventive names. OK, I mentioned it anyway. Have a good weekend and Happy Breeding

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I want to shine the spotlight on the Paradise Puppies!!

Did you know that Amaretto Breedables offers a reward system called Puppy Paradise. When you send your K-9 to Puppy Paradise you will receive a number of points based on the number of traits and age for a particular K-9. Once you have accumulated enough points, you can use these points to purchase an array of items from the Puppy Paradise Vendor such as Pet Food, Vaccinations and our unique K-9 Paradise Puppies. For more information on Puppy Paradise click here https://k9.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Puppy_Paradise

First let’s have a look at the K-9 Paradise Puppy Dalmatian. This puppy comes in random gender and these random coats: Black/White, Liver/White and Rainbow/White Dalmatians. Paradise Puppy Dalmatians are NOT able to pass their coats. However, these unique K-9s have the ability to pass their eyes (depending on the coat you receive).

Next let’s take a look at the Fu K-9’s

The Fu K-9 comes in random gender and these random coats: “Happiness”, “Friendship” and “Prosperity”. The Fu K-9s are NOT able to pass their coats. However, these unique K-9s have the ability to pass their eyes (depending on the coat you receive) Purple Jade, Green Jade and Blue Jade. The Fu K-9s are NOT able to pass their collars.

Next there is the K-9 Paradise Puppy – Hot Dog comes in random gender. Paradise Puppy – Hot Dog are NOT able to pass their coats. However, the Yellow & Mustard eye Does have the ability to pass and the Picnic Collar Does have the ability to pass.

When you breed a Paradise Puppy (whether it is with another Paradise Puppy or any other K-9) you DO have an increased chance at receiving a random Enchanted K-9.  The non-Enchanted offspring of Paradise Puppies do NOT have an increased chance of producing Enchanted K-9s.

For a closer look at any of these awesome pups you can check them out here:

Howdy fellow breeders!

The trees are turning rich colors of yellow, orange and red; the weather’s getting cooler; Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back—it’s Fall!

In the United States, Fall is the more commonly used term for Autumn, the season which marks the transition from Summer to Winter, because leaves fall from the trees at that time.

It is a time for the harvesting of crops, particularly those that have come to be associated with the season – pumpkins (which are integral parts of both Halloween and Thanksgiving) and apples.

It is, also, a great time to create some Fall-themed breedables. Here are just a few* of the horse and K9 traits available:

*not all-inclusive

Start your Fall projects today!

Until next time…HAPPY FALL Y’ALL and HAPPY BREEDING!

Hey everyone hows your day going? Well mine is going alright! I want to first shout out to everyone who attended the Community Meeting, and everyone who won a prize!
