Straws must be from stallions eras 0-8 or era 12 for foals to qualify.

There aren't very many stallions on the LB for eras 1, 2, 6, 7, and 12 - we have until June, but lets get some competition going! I will accept era 12 straws, but not eras 10 or 11 at this time. My own breeding is done, so I'll post my available stallions for breeding in the appropriate era chat rooms over the next few days.

Update: because I will be traveling for the next two weeks and because it might be fun to do this again later, I will be closing this offer on Sunday 19 Feb. Any straw offers that arrive after I log out of the game at bedtime on Sunday (about 10 PM game time) will not be accepted.

I have hundreds of eggs with short expiration dates. Send me straws from your futurity hopefuls! I will futurity lock all eligible foals.
All of my eggs are Era 6, 7, and 8 foundation mares, so straws must be from stallions eras 0-8 for foals to qualify.
(Edit: updated text to clarify available eras.)

I have some neat Futurity boys I’ll send straws for!

FollysFantasies · Feb 13, 2023 7:35 PM

@Rodeo4Life - send some over if you haven't already. Plenty of eggs left, and quite a few mares that haven't been bred yet too.

BoredCowgirl · Feb 13, 2023 8:27 PM

What licenses do you have (or not have)?

Can I send from a 2nd gen brindle? Era 7

@BoredCowgirl I have all licenses

FollysFantasies · Feb 14, 2023 5:29 PM

@Walywoohoo - send some over! Since the goal of futurities is for the sire to have lots of excellent showing offspring, they can pair with any era-appropriate mares. I admit that foundation mares won't net the super awesomest PT scores, but every foal helps because you just never know who will end up being a star.

FollysFantasies · Feb 14, 2023 7:09 PM

@Rodeo4Life - used Golden Hour's straws. This is my favorite one.

I'll send some more over soon ;)

BossScorpio · Feb 14, 2023 10:12 PM

I sent you 3 stallions id like to promote

FollysFantasies · Feb 15, 2023 8:56 AM

Hey all, just a reminder that my eggs are all era 9 or lower - I don't have any era 10/11/12 eggs and only a few mares from those eras. In order to qualify for futurities, offspring must be the same era as the stallion. Remember that foals always take the lowest era of their parents - if you breed an era 10 mare to an era 2 stallion, the foal will be era 2.
Also remember that your stallion must still be alive and intact for foals to qualify. A stallion that is 17yrs now has a very low chance of still being here in June when the prizes are awarded. :)

I sent a few your way, Follies!

whywishesarehorses · Feb 15, 2023 9:39 AM

@Rodeo4Life I love to see Golden Hour competing! I was going to. ask for straws from him for the Fut, but I realize I am his breeder so that doesn't work lol.

Fireflake · Feb 15, 2023 10:58 AM

If you still are open to doing this I'd like to send some from Cult Salmonberry

FollysFantasies · Feb 15, 2023 5:10 PM

Yes, this is still open. I'll mark the post "closed" when I'm out of eggs. Send some of Cult Salmonberry's straws over. :)

Gracie3B · Feb 16, 2023 4:36 AM

Sent a couple from a gen 6 boy, thanks!

Walywoohoo · Feb 16, 2023 5:12 AM

I sent 10 from my lil brindle, and a few from my high PT bootstrap as well; feel free to send back any if they're too many!

BossScorpio · Feb 16, 2023 9:40 AM

*Sent a few more thank you for having this open.

FeldingFields · Feb 16, 2023 2:02 PM

I sent you a few more straws, but since you've already done a bunch from me, feel free to save them for last or to chuck them (or to save them for a later month). But if you do use them, could you prioritize the Joachim ones? Trying to get some more Era 3 boys on the board.

FollysFantasies · Feb 16, 2023 5:36 PM

@FeldingFields I have some hom sooty Cherry Drop eggs that will make stunning foals!

FollysFantasies · Feb 16, 2023 6:09 PM

We still need 25 stallions on the LB for each era, is that correct? I have several era 3 studs who can contribute straws toward increasing the numbers.
In fact, I think I have everything except era 1 and 2, if we need to boost sheer numbers of stallions.

BoredCowgirl · Feb 16, 2023 11:25 PM

I have plenty of mares left and would be happy to lock in some foals for the eras that still need more qualified stallions.

StormwoodFarm · Feb 17, 2023 5:42 AM

I have a few stallions that are close to qualifying! I'll sort through later and see what I have. I don't have any era 1 or 2 studs, either, but can contribute at every other era!

FeldingFields · Feb 17, 2023 9:29 AM

Yes, Ammit has said a futurity needs 25 qualified stallions for awards. We do have some time, because it's open to stallions with foals age five and under, not just exactly five.

Fireflake · Feb 17, 2023 9:52 AM

I just sent some over! Thanks so much

FollysFantasies · Feb 17, 2023 10:23 AM

Looks like we need to get some era 1, 2, 6, 7, and 12 stallions going - those all have less than 15 on the LB right now. I just managed to breed a couple of era 1 and 2 horses, but it will be a couple of seasons before they are ready. I'll post my available stallions for breeding in the appropriate era rooms over the next few days.
Updated original post.

FeldingFields · Feb 17, 2023 12:39 PM

Yeah, I've been picking up some colts from underrepped eras at auction (or mares to breed them), but it will take time for them to be old enough to breed.

StormwoodFarm · Feb 17, 2023 3:52 PM

Here's what I have from era 6: https://hj2.huntandjump.com/adv_search.php?runsearch=go&jump=0&ageg=2&agel=13&erae=6&mare=0&gelding=0&spayedmare=0&owner=50888&56=0&57=0&58=0&59=0&60=0&61=0

Popped a new era 12 stallion up in the era 12 chat room.
Live covers via the chat and straws (2-yr expiration) are just 1hb during the remainder of his debut season.
