Hey Guys! 

By now you know I’m the “rich bish” according to a few players that won the custom breed auction. This is entirely what I wanted to do so that I could do exactly what I am about to do with it. I have had a really long, bad week (busy level wise and health wise) so please excuse any typos or anything in this post that doesn’t make sense. 

Why did I bid on BOTH auctions? Not to drive the price up or to be a greedy person. I wanted to win it so that I could in turn give everyone in the HP community the chance to put their input in on what new breeds we have added. If I bought it and made the horse a Concourser - who else, other than me, would want to breed that? So I snagged them both and I am super happy that I was able to do this. 

SOOOOO with that being said I do have a few ideas to pitch out about the custom breeds. BUT I want to hear your ideas too and I want everyone to pitch whatever idea they would have put into the game if they won. After people have their say - we will let everyone vote. I did run this by Blitz and all breeds must match the original contest rules and she has veto power if it does not. 

Here are my current ideas for the breeds at hand: 

~~ First; here are the in memorial breeds I was thinking of pitching: 

HORSE

Alimoose: A horse breed that is highly versatile and excels at a variety of things (dressage, jumping, trail riding, western, english, driving, and more). It’s beautiful and comes in a variety of colors, but are most likely to be: gray or bay. Other occurring colors include: minimal black, dun, chestnut, and palomino. Rare Colorations include: buckskin, or cremello. The thing that sets the Alimoose apart from other breeds is the set of horns that rest on it’s skull. Most have moose like antlers that adorn the skull and add charm to the breed. Some may have deer antlers, but this is extremely uncommon. - The week with May 28th in it every year for her birthday. 

DOG

Violet Setter: A setter-like breed that comes with a variety of colors, but they all include shades of purple. The dog is similar in looks, appearance, and temperament of the English Setter. [I am struggling here - I didn’t know Violet personally. This is her in memory dog: https://horsephenomena.com/dogs.php?id=62050 if you knew Violet and want to help fluff this out, by all means let’s do it!] - The week of her birthday, the 4th of December. 

~~ Second; here are the fun breeds I was thinking of pitching:

HORSE

Shorse - It’s a shark! It’s a horse! It’s a SHORSE! This animal is like a shark with horse legs (sometimes may include a mane and tail like a horse, sometimes it may have a shark tail, sometimes it may have both!). It can look like any species of shark and it doesn’t have to be underwater to be alive.  - SHARK WEEK BREED, DUH 

DOG

Olwini [ name may change] - Is a large, vulpine like breed that ranges in size from mini to xl (taller than a wolf). These vulpine like animals also come in a variety of colors and fur types. Their ears are tall, and some curl back at the tips. They are extremely intelligent and curious. They normally, but not always, have really thick fur around their neck and on their tails, and tufts of fur coming from their ears. They can be any color that exist and typically have markings that look like what would come from mixing a fox and a wolf together. - I’d like this to be in whatever week the 14th of July falls in for my birthday

Mine should still be fine!

Just bumping this so others will see and vote :D

Cast my vote! :)

I'm throwing my votes 100% into the Allimoose and Violet Setter ideas. What wonderful ways to pay tribute to a pair of amazing players.

So the winners are

Alimoose - featured on the week with May 28th every year.

and...

somehow the Olwini (Shark Dog got way more votes than I was anticipating too! lol) whose name has officially been decided since I had to decide. It will officially be the: Sionnach and be featured every July the week with the 14th in it. Sending these to Blitz now.

I am shocked that Shark Dog won! I thought Violet Setter had it in the bag! lol 
Super excited for the Allimoose though! 

Soo happy to have lost to the Alimoose! A wonderful tribute!
I'm still in shock that others actually voted for my Ale-Jay. Thank you to whoever you are! 😭 🤗 😻
