SEASON 7 - APPALOOSA PLAINS

Building Allstar Horsery

I abandoned Six Gable Stable in favor of an empty lot that was 64x64, so my horses would have way more room to roam about! I built it all from the ground up, with a long building that has 2 stable wings and central living quarters. Both stable wings have a 2 story farm door, 4 horse stalls and a hay attic that can be reached from a spiral staircase. I am planning to leave both stalls unlocked so the horses can go inside and outside at their leasure. About 3/4th of the whole lot is horse free-roam area, with fences and horse crossable gates, and some training items for the horses!

In between is a small 3 story house that has 2 en suites on the top floor, a living room and a dining kitchen on the middle floor, and on the ground floor some toilets, a laundry room, a lot of space for future skill items, and doors to both stables. I have tried to make the whole build as much as possible with stuff from the pets pack, to avoid the pitfall of always choosing the same floors, wallpapers and furniture!

A Horse Is A Horse Of Course Of Course

.... And no one can talk to a horse of course! That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed.

For those of you who aren't old, or (like me) have seen reruns of this very old show at some point in their life: Mister Ed is a talking horse from a sixties comedy series. And I thought it was a very nice addition to my challenge to have my main horse for this season be a famous one! So I recreated him as best as I could, which is quite hard when 99% of all photos google digs up of him are in black and white! But there were a couple of full color photos of his head and here you can see how he turned out!

Mister Ed will be my Ultimate Horse in this season, beside which I am planning to adopt / raise a whole number of horses that will come and go as they are sold for the horseman career. But Mister Ed will stay by my side, learn all of the skills, get all of the traits, and be Amber's loyal companion for the rest of this season. Also per idea of @SemaviLady I am planning to breed him with a unicorn if I manage to adopt one! Because of course of course a Horse Star like this can't just foal around with any old mare....
