Happy Hump Day Fellow Breeders!
Actually, I should say, “Happy Earth Day!” Fifty years ago today, the first Earth Day was marked in the United States as a call for environmental reform, following a massive oil spill off the coast of California. Half a century later, this call falls at a time when the health of people and nature has never been more urgent.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, improvements in pollution levels have been seen in countries with restricted movements of people and the shutdown of factories and businesses. After the lockdowns, we may see a greater appreciation for nature in many countries around the world. A window of opportunity is opening from this pandemic which, if seized, can integrate economic recovery with environmental change.

Celebrate the Day with Earth inspired traits!
For Amaretto Horses, the Earth Element eye is one of 5 Elemental Eyes that originally came from breeding starter coats. These eyes are passable and by breeding two horses with Element Eyes together you have the chance to randomly birth one of the Elemental Horses, like the Elemental Earth. Elemental Horses can not pass their coat, however, breeding an Elemental Horse with another Elemental Horse or with any other horse with Element Eyes you will slightly increase your chance for another Elemental Horse.

The Earth Galaxy eye is one of 12 Galaxy Eyes which originally came from breeding starter coats. These eyes are passable. The Galaxy Horses, like this Galaxy Earth, can be randomly birthed by breeding together any two horses that have Galaxy Eyes. The Galaxy Horse coats do not pass, however, breeding a Galaxy Horse with another Galaxy Horse or with any other horse with Galaxy Eyes you will slightly increase your chance for another Galaxy Horse.
For the Amaretto K9s, from June 1st to July 31st of 2018, if you bred any Great Dane with a Clover Splashed Great Dane you had the chance to get the first-ever Earth Elemental K-9! The Elemental Earth coat did not have the ability to pass, but, the Earth Elemental Eye and Collar do! So, create your own design using these traits!

With the 3.01 updates, Galaxy traits have begun to show up on the grid. These have not, yet, made their way to the wiki. Until they do, take a look at this Earth Galaxy Collar submitted by a fellow breeder.

It will be exciting to see what the future holds for these awesome new traits!
The diversity of Amaretto Breedables is amazing. There are always traits available to use in your celebratory breeding no matter the event or holiday!
Until next time…Stay Safe and Happy Breeding!
