Happy Cinco De Mayo Breeders!
Cinco De Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over Napoleon III’s French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is more popularly celebrated in the United States, than in Mexico, with Los Angeles hosting the World’s largest Cinco De Mayo celebration!
Amaretto Celebrates Cinco De Mayo!
In past years, Amaretto has celebrated Cinco De Mayo with some awesome traits and special editions. Let’s take a look!
On May 1, 2013, Amaretto surprised the breeding community with the 2013 Limited Edition Cinco De Mayo Donkeys! The coats or eyes on these Limited Edition Horses did NOT pass. But, they did have the ability to pass you some other hidden surprises!
By breeding these Limited Edition Donkeys you had a possibility to get one of 3 new eyes – Chevron, Pinata, and Poncho. These eyes CAN be passed on.
Also, by breeding any of these Limited Edition Cinco De Mayo Donkeys with any Amaretto breedable horse, you had a chance at a never-before-seen Black Mule. The Black Mule got its eye from the parents and did NOT pass its coat.
On May 5, 2015, Amaretto wanted to celebrate Cinco De Mayo by releasing random drop eyes in the horses, K-9s, and birds! These eyes were available for 24 hours and DO have the ability to pass.
On May 5, 2016, Amaretto wanted to celebrate Cinco De Mayo by releasing random drop eyes in the horses, K-9s, and birds! These eyes were available for 24 hours and DO have the ability to pass.
But that wasn’t all, in addition to the eyes, there were also random drop traits! Any bundle born on May 5, 2016, had the chance of having a Cinco De Mayo Ear Tip, any kennel had the chance of having a Cinco De Mayo Dipped Ear, and any nest had the chance of having a Cinco De Mayo Leg! All these random traits are passable!
On May 1, 2017, Amaretto released 2017 Cinco De Mayo editions. The Guitarra eyes DID pass on these editions!
By breeding 2017 Cinco De Mayo – El Primer Caballero with any other horse there was an opportunity to receive a White Mule. The White Mule got its eye from the parents and did NOT pass its coat.
By breeding the 2017 Cinco De Mayo – El Segundo Caballero with any other K-9 there was the opportunity to receive a Fiesta Chihuahua. The Fiesta Chihuahua Coat DOES have the ability to pass!
By breeding the 2017 Cinco De Mayo – El Tercer Caballero with any other bird there was the opportunity to receive a Fiesta bird. The Fiesta bird DOES have the ability to pass!
With so many Cinco De Mayo traits available, you have a great reason to celebrate Cinco De Mayo – Amaretto style!
