Description I figured it was about time I held an auction, so here you have it, 7 fine foals up for sale!

The auction ends December 30th.
Because there were so few bids, I'm going to keep the auction open until February 29th.

To bid:
1) Draw a full body picture of the foal

-It can be up to three years old in your image.
-This can be a ref sheet, a picture of the foal arriving at your stable, running in a pasture, etc. As long as the horse is clearly visible, you're good — but effort will be rewarded!
-Using linearts, yours or someone else's, is acceptable but not preferred
-Include in the comments why you want this foal, and tell me about their personality.

2) Send me a NOTE with a link to the image
-Make sure the note has a recognizable title, such as "auction entry" or "foal bid"

That's it!

-This is not first come first serve; the auction ends December 30th, and I will be choosing based on how well I think the horse will do at that stable, how much effort is in the entry, etc.

-You can include a point bid with your image if you wish. It will raise your chances of winning, BUT you can't win with points alone. At least half of the profit (maybe all of it) will be donated straight to the #HARPG-URAssociation to give out as race prizes.

Excellent! And as far as his eyes go, it's up to you. In reality, yes, it's most likely that he would lose the blue eyes. However, since this is fantasy after all, you have several options if you want him to keep the blue eyes.

1. You could keep them without a distinct genetic explanation, because it is possible for epigenetic factors to cause it (in which case it would not pass on to foals).

2. You could change his genotype to include any of the alleles that cause blue eyes normally and occur in purebred Marwaris. Either splash or frame would work for this, and you can easily say that he has a single copy and happens not to express the pattern very much phenotypically.

Well by all means, go for it! There is one other bidder for him already, whereas there are none for #7, but of course whichever one you think would do best inyour stables is the one you should bid for. :]

Great, thanks! As for name ideas, anything starting with 'Dh' would link the foal to Dhesperado, or you could name him something related to gold/treasure...I'm not great with names, sorry.

I assume that since the auction ended in December, the Marwari colt is unavailable (even though it doesn't have any bids)? I just discovered this now and wish I had seen it sooner!

xKhamsinStables In reply to Cross-Fox-Stables [2012-01-11 07:21:49 +0000 UTC]

You can definitely still bid, I am probably going to extend the deadline a bit since not all of them have been bid for. :sigh:

Cross-Fox-Stables In reply to xKhamsinStables [2012-01-12 18:05:33 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! I'm going to bid on the tobiano Marwari colt and palomino sabino Akhal-Teke colt, since I want to have a representation for each breed in my stable. I'm going to do a piece of them together as colts, and then will do additional pieces of them older for their references. Because I'm back in university, I think I'm going to have to use line art for temporary refs until I find the time to draw/color. If I was to win either or both, I would make an original reference when I have a school break.

Getting started on the foal sketch now!

Nileiris [2011-11-09 19:37:45 +0000 UTC]

I'm interested in #4 but I was wondering a bit about Zefa's parents... Is she half Friesian? I looked in Magic Winds Stables gallery and I found a Friesian who was mentioned as NightWind in two pictures but named KnightWind in her reference.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

xKhamsinStables In reply to Nileiris [2011-11-10 00:23:46 +0000 UTC]

She is not half Friesian; after looking into it a bit I think that what happened is that she was listed as having a sire and dam, but those were maybe not actually created? Some of the other horses in that batch of adoptables were listed as having the same sire or dam as Zefa, though, so I don't know.

She was one of my first horses when I was really new to HARPG, so it's not clear in my memory. I honestly didn't know enough when I adopted her to check out (and keep links for) her parents as they were listed on the adoption page.

In conclusion, I guess that it makes the most sense to treat her as a foundation horse unless proven otherwise?
