Swamped with Stories!

Oh my goodness, it's been over a month since anyone posted anything!

Sorry, we've all been busy with individual things.  We're obviously all about to share.

I, Gem, will go first, since mine is the shortest.  I decided to try and take on 3 maxing contracts!  This did not end up so well.  I didn't end up finishing them XD I got really close, and since the contract has been up, I've been spending some time with all my ponies, especially my new ones, who I will introduce soon enough, once I have names for them all ;)

To break up the horse-y-ness, I'll go next.  My reason is simple:  I've been busy with tennis, school, and homecoming! :D 

My tennis racket, a tool I use for practice (no one really will play with me lol), and one of my slides XD
I actually took this photo on the day of homecoming. I was supposed to have a tournament that day, but it was cancelled due to rain.  So I played in the street for an hour in the early morning by myself XD
My super-awesome school supplies! (I decorated them myself :D)
And of course the most anticipated...

My homecoming outfit! :D It's hard to tell in this photo, but the skirt is higher in the front and lower in the back.  I did my makeup exceedingly well that day! I had lot of fun with my date and all my friends that night <3

And last but certainly the most, Sensa has been up to the most trouble.  Of course it's me XD I have bought not one, not two, but four new horses! XD  And I bred Flora and Fauna as well :) The two of them are due on the 24th, hours apart from each other :)

With the new horses, well... Jo got us all into cremellos.  She follows a girl on social media who had (he was recently sold) a gorgeous cremello gelding, and now we're all obsessed.  I'm the only one who has actually acted on this though.  Please note I was too lazy to take more than one screenshot of each horse, lol.  First I bought Tierra, my Hanoverian filly:
6/6, +144, and $7,000.  Tierra means land in Spanish :) I was going to go with Tiara, but I thought Tierra sounded more unique.
Next up came Crash the Kinsky colt:
6/6, +146, and $14,000
Those are all the cremellos I found, although my horse buying spree didn't stop there.  After Crash came Cayenne:
6/6, +146, and $40,000.  She came with the name "Hot Smoking Chili", but I wanted something a little more feminine (and shorter ;))
And the newest addition to the herd, my currently unnamed Anglo Arabian colt!
6/6, +147, $30,000
Totally open to name suggestions for this guy ;) I was really looking for a filly, but I was so stricken by his coat color I couldn't resist :) (10/22 Update: I have named him Rico :) )

If you didn't already notice, I picked each horse to specialize in different arenas.  Draft is already covered by Flora, Fauna, and their future colts or fillies, Tierra will be my jumper (and possibly cross country), Crash is my racehorse, Cayenne will be in reining, cutting, and barrel racing, and the Anglo will be involved in endurance and cross country, most likely.  I can't wait to see how they all do in arenas once they're all trained! <3
