Hey y’all! Time for a show pony give away. This is open to all players, regardless of how big your barn is, how long you’ve been playing or how many accounts you have. Second accounts welcome. You can also play along but not receive ponies if you wish.

I don’t know about y’all, but I am a voracious reader/listener as well as pixel pony player. I consume a lot of ebooks, audiobooks and podcasts while I drive, do chores, cook or just chill out while playing HAJ. I have previously run some give aways like this one that pointed me to new authors or podcasts that I have absolutely loved, in particular the suggestion someone gave of the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. I have now read EVERYTHING Kevin has written, mostly by listening to it narrated by the incomparable Luke Daniels, and am everlastingly grateful to whoever gave me that suggestion.

When you enter, I will send you 10 show ponies. About half of them will be around 10 years old with at least 500 points. The other half may be a mix of ages and will have some of the genes you suggest you would like in your show herd. Remember you can own any and all genes on snipped show ponies, so if you want a few with licenses you don’t own, this is how to grab them. I have all licenses, but don’t actively breed for mushroom anymore and am not actively breeding for minis. Ponies will be placed in a private buddy chat (Cheers Give Away) and marked with your name for easy pickup. Please feel free to change names and add cool tack! I’d love to see pics if you have a favourite!

So here is how it goes. Your entry should look like this, but you only need to make one recommendation:

ID#: (omit this if you don’t want to receive ponies)
Books/Podcasts and why: I love anything by Kevin Hearne (audiobooks), the Forging Hephaestus (heroes and villains told from the Villian side) and NPCs (table top gaming as told by NPCs who become heroes) series by Drew Hayes (audiobooks), the Old Kingdom series (can’t really describe it…kingdom where technology doesn’t work and Magic can be dangerous) by Garth Nix (read), and am currently listening to the second book in the Sunder City (post apocalyptic magical world where the humans shut off the source of magic) series by Luke Arnold. I also love both the Rita Mae Brown series, the Sister Jane and the Sneaky Pie Brown books, both light mysteries, one set almost exclusively against the backdrop of fox hunting if you’d like some ponies with your fiction. I am also listening to the new podcast by Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd (two of the hobbits in the LOTR movies) called The Friendship Onion and enjoying it, though the sound production is a bit spotty.
Genes/Body Types: Im really working on Rainbow Riot leopard appies if you have any! Any body type.

I will get ponies up as soon as possible after you enter, but give me a couple days grace! Some days are busier than others!

*give away done with the assumption you will give ponies a home for life. Please don’t auction the ponies for their lifetime payout.
