At Last, WideAwakeInDreamLand reached a milestone. She is 4000 years old and for a mortal horse that's pretty good. Her journey started 2008. There are others that are older but she and I have worked with endless Aging Points and Black Orchids to reach this point, after several years.

Thank you, USAmom for a dream come true. I feel like my boy is back home with me. My first coat is here at last thanks to your thoughtful heart!
I'm on here every day, like the Ghost Riders, I'm chasing the devil's herd.

There's nothing like a horse.
About Me:
I'm an adult player. Don't forget to get permission, before chatting, if you're a minor.
I collect GA, RC, donkeys and divines. None of the GA and RC groups have been for sale in 15 years. It's a permanent collection.
I don't sell a lot of horses because I'm collecting Trophies and need the coats from each breed. I'll sell the duplicate coats.
Currently, I'm working with thoroughbreds.
Chief Powhatan.
Best buckskin this side of heaven and, now, beyond the stars. 1967 - 1995.
The Untamed Spirit
His stance is proud, his heart is pure, his loyalty unbound,
And when he runs, his hoof-beats echo thunder's noble sound.
His swiftness challenges the wind, in untamed majesty.
His spirit ever riderless. His soul forever free.

My game is centered on WideAwakeInDreamLand. There's no other quest or challenge that draws me here. Except the wonderful friends I've met over the years: it would be a lonely game without them.

When We Think of Magic |

What Happened to the Unicorns?
The magic powers attributed to unicorn horns were varied. According to some medieval recipes, "To make an ointment against leprosy, take some unicorn liver, grind it up and mash with egg yolk."
"To avert attack by plague or fever, take some unicorn pelt, make a belt from it, and tie it around the body."
"Shoes cut from unicorn leather assure healthy feet, thighs, and joints."
The magic of unicorn was considered protective and rulers would fashion cups, sword handles and clothing from unicorn material. Drinking from whole horns would ward off poison and it was treasured more than ten times its weight in gold.
"The shavings of a unicorn's horn, if given in a potion, are an antidote to poisonous drugs."
Queen Elizabeth I's unicorn horn was valued at 10,000 pounds, an exorbitant sum in the 16th century, equal to $80,000 to $100,000 today.
Maybe the reason there are no more unicorns is simply a matter of greed.
