The Birthday Trio!!

**PSA:  This article was written, and intended to be published, on March 7th, 2017.  Due to annoying internet issues, we were not able to upload it until the following day.  We're very sorry, and too lazy to change all the "yesterdays" and whatnot. :)

Yesterday sure was a special day!  All three of us, Gem, Sensa, and Jo, all share the same birthday, March 6, of varying years.  This was how we all came to be friends ;)  Since we all share the same birthday, we compiled everything onto one post, so enjoy! :)

Our birthday came the earliest for me, Sensa, and by that I mean I treated myself the earliest  ;P

Awh, sleepy pony <3 (Not really - she's blinking XD )

I have no idea what compelled me to visit the livery on February 19, but I sure am glad I did! :)  Gem and I are both fond of pearl horses, and I've always had a thing for SD's, so I'm glad two of my favorite things collided here :) She originally came with the name "Runaway Halsey," but since none of us listen to Halsey, and I already picked out that cute tack for her, I thought a cute name like Pixie would suit her better :) (I think I was right <3)

My, Gem's, birthday celebrations came at a slightly more reasonable time.  I started letting my buds know about it a week before our actual birthday, and one bud went out and fulfilled my whole birthday request that day!

Jasper, the Suffolk Punch Stallion (Money only bought the foal here)

Pendragon, the Andalusian stallion (Sorry, blinking foal ;P)

Varsity, the Spanish Mustang mare

Oswin, the Nez Perce Stallion

My wonderful bud, who I affectionately call "Money" (and who will remain anonymous because I forgot to ask her permission to use her name on here XD ) traveled all the way out to Crater Mountain Isle to buy the premies for me, and of course I was oblivious to it all XD  In total, she spend 7 million HI2 dollars just on my birthday present!  Thanks, Money! <3

And that’s not even all!  When I logged on the day of my actual birthday, I headed out to Twin Rivers Isle, to flute myself a birthday wild.  And wouldn’t you know it – it ended up being one of my favorite breeds!

This 5/6 ACD mare’s stats end up adding up to +32, which isn’t all that impressive, but I love this breed, and this (at the time) was the only color ACD I didn’t have!  I decided today that I’m going to keep her, and I’ve named her “Morton’s Girl,” after the Morton Salt Company’s girl in the yellow raincoat that’s on their salt containers XD I have no idea why this inspired me, but it did :)

And then last, but certainly not least, I got to take a very handsome stallion off my good friend, PepsiSummer’s, hands.  I’ve been wanting a Sugarbush Draft horse since before the breed was even introduced, and when Pepsi said she wasn’t going to keep him, I jumped on the chance and took him home with me :) Meet Twister!

Sorry, Pepsi, I definitely stole your screenshots XD

Pepsi was also great enough to give me some premies with the trade, and I put those lovely pets with my newly maxed Kinsky mare, Mafia.

Thanks, Pepsi! <3

And to top it all off, today I found two horses in the auction, and combined they had a full set of matching premies!  I bid on both, and they came home with me!  I took off the premies, and then surrendered the horses to the livery.  Overall I saved myself about 400k!  I then put the premies with Twister, because all the spots coordinate :)

Twister with his new premies <3 (I caught the falabella and the penguin at bad moments, evidently XD )
And thanks again to wonderful, wonderful Pepsi for Twister's awesome looking tack :)

To add to all this excitement, I was alerted to a new breed in the auction house.  I went to go investigate, and I found this breed-less, raven black stallion: 

I’m not even going to go into all the things wrong with this guy’s profile, but let me tell you:  it’s awesome to see a glitch of this magnitude XD  If I had an extra 10 million dollars, I’d take him home with me, but unfortunately, I don’t at the moment XD  I guess the story is that HI2 added this new breed, the Irish Cob, and then took it off, leaving this guy with all his lovable glitches.  I thought that this raven black guy was the only one of his kind, until later in the night, when I found another Irish Cob!  And this one was flashing!

Enjoy sneak peeks of my chats XD

Haha, this guy has even more glitches, and is even more awesome because of it!  Again, if I had an extra 55mil laying around, I’d snatch him right up!  Alas, I obviously don’t XD It was still so cool to see these guys!  I wonder when, or if, HI2 will actually release this breed.  We’ll see!

And of course, who could forget about me, good old Jo?  Well, in order to build suspense (aka I forgot to edit personal info out of my photos so they can’t be posted), I’m not going to share my story until tomorrow! >:D.  I would love to post tonight, but quality editing takes a while, and I promised myself I would enjoy a nice bath with my bath bomb :) Oh well, if anything, my post will be a nice break on a rough Wednesday :) Enjoy the rest of your morning, day, or evening! <3
