Welcome! Please note I do try to keep things up to date or current, but understand that real life (cough...kids...cough) does interfere at times! All links go to Howrse sites, mostly affix pages that contain more information about my NIB projects. Last edit: March 2024
**While I am happy to buy ANY foundation, I am currently interested (and paying better!) in buying these types of foundations:
Any GP Holsteiner (let's be honest here, I am a sucker for ANY foundation Holstie...Like, a HUGE sucker!)
6500+ GP Newfoundland unicorns
350-351.2 GP Haflingers (I want this to be a 9 generation project, currently at 298 out of 512)
8,800+ GP Knabstrupper
NIB Projects
I have dabbled a bit into everything in this game, but NIBing has stuck. My main project, '
Elementus' is original Holsties. All the foundations are named after dragonflies from around the world. I have been collecting these guys and working them for awhile. Progress is slow, but I am gaining! I only breed these horses at 100 BLUP, and fully bolded and beached. I have successfully made it to a fourth generation, and then the gains significantly changed. My past fourth gen line was only held to 70 BLUP standards, so I will be redoing it! I am currently breeding some of my completed horses. I am also one of the few out there that actually WANTS affixes in this collection. While many are unaffixed, I do enjoy and am willing to pay a little more for an affixed horse. I especially love affixes where I am the only owner of a horse in it. I am currently proud to keep these affixes alive as the only person to own horses with the affix:
I have a few side projects that are gaining more attention. My growing passion at the moment is RG Newfoundland unicorns, the '
Master Gardeners'. There is also an RG Holstie project, '
No Boundary',
I am trying to finish that has gained new insight and will be a much longer project than first intended. The original project was to be a three generation project with the third generation on the ground. However, I am going to continue the line on using other GPs, just to see where I get. I am also working on a Knabstrupper NIB line breeding project as a test, called '
ƊƦΛƓʘƝֆǶΛƊʘѠ'. I do have a growing herd of OG Newfies I would eventually like to see completed as well. This one I have decided I will BLUP most horses only to 60 BLUP, in hopes that I can actually get a larger project complete sometime this century. I also have OG Marwari's that I am working on ever so slowly. Besides 100 BLUP and bold, all horses that I own must all be a Pegasus. I call this project '
Skybacks', from the movie 'Dinotopia'. This project is mostly using outside covers from the TESF project. And then there is the Chincoteage ponies, '
Sea Grass Aspirations'. These guys are actually gaining some ground, with over half the first generation already on the ground, with a second generation soon to follow. And because I don't have enough going on already, I am getting back into Standardbreds with an OG line. This will be an odd project with half the horses being raised to 60 BLUP with their partners at 100 BLUP. Calling it '
Half Step to the Beat'. And since I REALLY didn't have enough going on...I added Haflingers to the group with '
Bridging the Gap'. My goal here is to have a HUGE project, with nine generations at the end. I am a glutton for punishment and because they are kind of cute, I have added Misaki's to the crazyness with '
Sunrise in the East'. This one is progressing nicely, I must say. Because I am addicted to NIB projects and just can't get enough!
I am proud to have three completely finished projects. My OG NIB Canadian Horse unicorns, '
Mystical Dreams' was the first project to be completed. This is a two generation project. 'Mission Accomplished' is a second generation horse from 100 BLUP and bolded lines. He holds the current top Canadian Horse GP in the official NIB forum at 710.75 and completed his skills at 985.47 (pending any future lessons). I have since continued the line, but casually (only 100 BLUP) with RG unicorns. Just because. My second completed project is '
Color Me Special' for my Ban'ei horses. This was a collaboration project with Twinjodi. We each bred to second generations, and then paired those two to gain a third generation. Each horse in my line was breed with Tears to achieve the highest skill and GP possible. Sempervirens is my resulting third generation mare with a GP of 7638.35 and skills at 10,034.30, pending any lessons. The third completed project (ok, until I can find a mate to continue the line!) is my German Saddle Horse line, '
Fabled Lore'. Completed on February 11, 2024 with Hinkypunk, a fourth generation. This was possible thanks to outside breedings using horses from Vala and ⊰ Del ⊱.
If you are interested in learning more about NIB, check out the Events forum, and also feel free to reach out! There is also an active Discord channel several of us hang out in and get some BLUP parties going. Always happy to fill competitions, offer coverings, breed out foals, etc. to help out fellow NIBers!
Rehomeward Bound
When I was a newer NIBer, I had several amazing players help me get my feet under me and start my horde...er...herd of Holsties and later a few other breeds. I am constantly searching sales for foundations, and tend to be successful in picking some up. I have a collection of various breeds of Foundation horses that I would be happy to assist others that are interested in a NIB project, both old and new alike. If you are looking for something in particular, please shoot me a PM and I can quickly search to save you from digging through pages. Not all the horses in this tab may be available (some hold special meaning and just needed a place to stay besides getting lost in the others tab), but most are. I consistently peruse the sales and auctions, so if you are looking for an extra set of eyes to help find good deals, let me know! I am on at odd times, so sometimes I see things that others don't.
I also have many extra generational breedings if you are interested in a breed that I am working on. Or I am happy to breed a horse or pony per your specifications! Happy to help in any way!
My Past Dabblings
As I mentioned above, I've done a little bit of everything. I'll highlight some of my personal favorites here.
-ɴᴏʀᴛʜ ᴅᴀᴋᴏᴛᴀ ʙᴀᴅʟᴀɴᴅꜱ- #2 Nokota team at the time I was active on the team. Amazing group of people. Real life crept up on me, otherwise I would still be there.
-ᔚᗴᘁᗱᘉ†ᖺ ᗩᘁᕭᑙᘈᕮ- High GP Vanners. Fun, easy going team. Real life came first, and I had to make cut backs. Otherwise I would still be there.
-Divina Proportione- Ratio bred Standardbred team.
-Portrait of Eternis- At one time, the #1 Paint team.
-ᘛ Ġʀαғғιτι ᘗ- At one time, the #1 Paint uni team.
-The Forgotten Dream- I was one of the first team members when the team first started, until work life took over.
-Unpopular Paragons- Crossbred champions. Horses were bred to ensure that at least one skill was at the top of a breed skill. These were typically less popular breeds. This was done as part of a breeding group.
-Standardbred cross project- This is one I pick up and drop. A lot. Standardbreds, in my opinion, make extremely fun crosses. Especially Staints (Standie x Paint).
-Various other teams and groups.
Sales
A majority of my horses that are not being used in a project are available for sale. Many reside in the 'Others' tab, but I do have a few scattered about in other tabs as well. If you are interested in something in particular, please let me know as it is much easier for me to sort and quickly see things than for you to trudge through pages upon pages. If you do decide to trudge and see something you are interested in, shoot me a PM, the worst I can say is "Sorry, it's not for sale". Everything is for sale for the right price, right? Just note that I may value things differently than the sales, and I can reserve that right as they are my horses. Typically, my value comes in lower than the sales, but sometimes it will be higher if the horse has value to me.
I am willing to change SOME affixes on horses I have bred, even after you buy them!
Covers and Foals
I am happy to send out covers to any mare or use my mares with a stallion of yours. I have many 100 BLUP, fully bolded and beached horses. Just shoot me a PM with what you are looking for and I can hook you up! Interested in NIB, but can't afford/ find the foundations? Just want to try NIB without the upfront cost to see if it is right for you? Just looking for lower GP horses for filling? I am happy to breed NIB foals for you! Currently, I have a large collection of Holsteiners, both OG (unicorns, too!) and RG, Canadian unicorns (or their rejects) (OG and RG), Chincoteague ponies (OG), Standardbreds (OG), Knabstruppers (OG and RG), Ban'ei, German Saddle Horse, Misaki, Newfoundland pony (OG) and unicorn (RG) and more! Just shoot me a message. Also happy to breed/offer covers from any of my horses that peak your interest.
Affix Collection
As mentioned in my Holsteiner NIB area, I have a few affixes that I am the only person to own horses in the affix from a Retired Breeder. I do collect other horses from this category, here is the rest of my list:
Competitions
I regularly use autocomp. If I happen to stomp you, please know that it is because of this. Shoot me a PM and I will gladly fill if I can!
