I am hosting this for HUSG this time. :) Love this game. :X

The Goal:
A contest that both "established" players, and new players can have fun with. Established players have a chance to show off, and newer players have a chance to refine search skills

The Premise:
Everyone has their own favorite "look" to their horses, that they breed towards. But some peoples "good" horse will be someone else's "Wow" horse. So in this contest, everyone does a switch, and will choose their favorite 5 of someone else's horses. (While practicing their search skills of course)

Entry Guidelines:

Entries must include a minimum of:
3 lined horses. (So up to 2 foundations permissible)
2 foals
2 adults
1 mare/filly
1 stallion/colt
2 altered
3 "home" bred/created horses (so only up to 2 can be bred/created by someone else)
3 completely open/unrestricted/non-fantasy genes. (So only up to 2 horses may have closed genes)

Timeline for this:-

From now until the 12th please add your name to this post if you wish to play, along with your ID number and roughly how many horses you own. I will assume everyone will be pickers and owners (like before) but if you only wish to be a picker/representer or an owner that is ok too (just tell me on this thread along with your ID number). Remember if you do both you have more chance of winning!

Between the 12th and 13th I'll partner you all up, so double check who YOU will be representing because it will probably be a different person to who will represent you!

From 12th until the 25th please place your partner's horses up as before so we can see all 5 pictures (not the links) and voting (ie the thanks button) can be pressed at any point after the horses have gone up. Please note, that there is a huge advantage to putting up your entry ASAP. Then when people scroll through, you will be one of the first entries to be seen and voted upon. If you procrastinate, then some voters might not even be online, and won't see your post.

Entries close on the 25th
Voting will close on 31st Oct and I will tally everything up.
Prizes will be sent 1st Nov

Remember the earlier your entries are up the more likely you are to get lots of thanks. If your partner has not put up your horses by 25th I will do it myself (or get a friend to) and the picker unfortunately will miss out on any winnings.
I will use a separate post for the horses pictures and voting
Please keep questions on this post.
Please enter only one of your accounts (otherwise it get's too complicated!).
Again I ask that you don't vote for yourself - I'll be looking and discounting it anyway

Don't know prize yet, but normally I am able to find 6 figure prizes for 1st-4th, and small five figure participation prizes.

Dinascar · Oct 1, 2019 9:24 AM

Pot for prize fund is 3.75 million at present.
Please post your ID below if you wish to play and a rough number of horses you own ....

Dinascar · Oct 11, 2019 2:14 PM

Going to give this one more day for entries - then they will close and I will put up everyone's partners. :)

Dinascar · Oct 11, 2019 2:18 PM

Oh and I won the 250k lottery yesterday so I now have a 4mil prize fund. :)

ApollosLegacy · Oct 11, 2019 2:49 PM

Oh I almost missed it!!!

WyldWood · Oct 11, 2019 3:43 PM

Gonna give it a try on this account.

ID# 48332

Just over 1800 horses! :O
This is supposed to be my "small" account, I did not expect to see that number. 8-}

WickedPonies · Oct 12, 2019 1:28 PM

Is it too late to enter? I forgot about this but it's an awesome contest!

Wicked Ponies - ID# 47741
I have around 5500 horses and a hoarding problem apparently.

If I am too late, I volunteer to be an emergency representor should the need arise.

Dinascar · Oct 12, 2019 1:51 PM

No - not too late to enter :)

Dinascar · Oct 12, 2019 1:53 PM

You still have about 5 hours or so to enter - then I'll do some pairing up this evening...

Dinascar · Oct 12, 2019 10:09 PM

Entries now closed. We have 31 entries - fantastic!
I will partner you all up tomorrow. Watch out for Part 2 of October's Trail of the Pretty ponies :)
Look closely at who you will represent (pick for) as it will be different to who represents you.

spotpixe · Oct 13, 2019 2:01 PM

I have a question - the stable I'm representing has zero owned foals currently. Should I just wait until there are foals (I'm assuming there will be before the end of the month!), or can I use their two-year-olds for the two required "foals"?
:)

ApollosLegacy · Oct 13, 2019 2:42 PM

Hey @Dinascar I didn't make it onto the list...

Dinascar · Oct 13, 2019 3:08 PM

@spotpixe - yes use the 2 year olds please. :)

Dinascar · Oct 13, 2019 3:13 PM

@ApollosLegacy Sorry - just missed you off - put you back in again now. :)

Dinascar · Oct 13, 2019 3:16 PM

I have triple checked now - I hope everyone is there.

DreamyMeadows · Oct 13, 2019 3:53 PM

Cannot see the pictures on my post - please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

First time posting horse links in forum so there is definitely something I am yet to learn.

Dinascar · Oct 13, 2019 4:01 PM

I have just sent you a PM - let me know how it goes.

DreamyMeadows · Oct 13, 2019 4:02 PM

Updated, thanks very much!

Dinascar · Oct 30, 2019 4:51 PM

We have a grand total of 6mil as our prize fund. Everyone who participated will have a share.

Dinascar · Nov 1, 2019 10:48 AM

OK everyone. Congrats :)
Winners time....

1st place is actually a tie between Wyldwood representing WickedPonies and Lionseal representing Looper (so all 4 of you will be getting an equal share of 2 million hbs!)

3rd place goes to Seaswell representing Bluevalley (you will both be getting 300k each)

4th place is another tie BlaxkDiamond representing AgainstTheOdds, horsey2 representing SilverAleki, HTRanch representing Dreamymeadows, srauch23 representing Harleysfarm and Lionseal (all of you will be receiving 100k each)

Everyone is a winner though and all who participated will be receiving a share of the pot that is left which works out at 85k each (this is on top of any other winnings you may have). :)

Well done to all the winners and thanks to everyone who voted as well.

Dinascar · Nov 1, 2019 10:49 AM

Money will be arriving sometime today.
