Possibly Win Up to 2 Million Prize Pot Contest
  • I'm not doing much in the game and I want to give out some hbs.

    I have been "competitive" in the past for "tack off battles" lol and I want to see if we can get some creativity going.

    I'm running this competition to really challenge creativity because the prize pot is 2 million hbs! It could be split three ways, or it could be split 20. It's going to be up to you. Based on how creative everyone gets.

    This will be open until September 30th. Getting creative in the ALPHA tack editor takes time. I'm eager to see what you come up with!

    Rules:
    Must enter two horses, and two horses only.

    Once a horse is entered it cannot be edited/changed.

    First horse entered can be basically anything. Must have a theme (not fantasy theme), a background (not the default background), and tack (three items or more).

    Second horse entered must have a fantasy theme. As well as a background (not the default background), and tack (three items or more). Fantasy here can be unicorns, can be whimsical, can be imaginative, silly even.

    If you don't have a ton of tack packs, please enter and use what you've got! Part of why the prize pot is high is to encourage you to enter, not discourage you.

    I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with! Have fun!

    Also for fun you can look at ambassadors and see examples of players creativity in the past.
  • Ooohh This sounds like a lot of fun! What kind of “themes” were you thinking of. Could you maybe give an example or two ? Thanks for doing this!
  • Themes are open to your interpretation. Could be a western pleasure, english show, what happy looks like, meditation space, perfect picture, the possibilities are endless.

    Example of meditation space could be goat yoga, or could be laying under the stars. It's up to you how you interpret your theme.

    *Please lable your theme. If you want to elaborate on your theme and/or thoughts feel free to do so.
  • Can I post my first horse and edit this post later to add the second half of my entry?

    Wars Advantage

    - I really wanted to do this war theme to recognize the horses used in combat but I didn’t want to just settle for medieval tack, so I tried my best to create a horse tacked for archers in ancient times. Not sure exactly where it first appeared (not clear answer) but anyways here’s my references photo; https://ibb.co/KqhQ6dS :)

    Fantasy Theme: Future Cyborg Horse

    Sweet Sinister Burn

    - I seriously had no idea what I was doing but I lost my progress once, my phone crashed around 3 times, I lost internet twice, and my screen froze an addition of one thousand times. Yeah I got scared that I would have to completely restart, thankfully now it’s all working again but that’s a heart attack right there. All done now though :D and Super Happy with how it turned out!

  • Ooh that is so cool! I wish I had that tack pack lol.
  • @Misara I’m not gonna lie but I just bought like 5 tack packs before I designed him so that I’d have more options to create stuff if I decided to change my theme lolz =))

  • lol!! I did that for the last tack contest
  • *Once a horse is entered please do not change anything*

    I've updated the rules to reflect this
  • AmberHaven, your theme reminds me of the horses in the Ranger's Apprentice book series that was a popular kids series back in the early 2000s. For those unfamiliar, the series followed a young boy training to be part of a special armed force of royal archers and the archers were paired with horses that were extra smart and specially trained.

    Hope you get a few more entries! I am going to work on my second one today.

  • Ram, well that’s interesting, I’m kinda curious now about the series. I’m still thinking about my second entry right now lol

    LG, sorry that’s totally not what I meant for it to say, it was supposed to be that while I was working on him that if I decided to change it completely before posting here. (Hope that makes sense)

  • My entry is finished now. Thanks for hosting!

    AmberHaven, here is the first book in that Ranger's Apprentice Series. I would say the target audience is like 10-14 year olds, but I was probably around 16 or 17 when I read them and they were a fun read.

    Theme: Second Chances,
    Young Distillery has had a troubled past, most trainers say he takes the bit and runs, translated to normal people he just had a soft mouth and needs the right hand to train him. During the interview with trainer colt danners he stated; best 40 dollars I've ever spent on a quirky colt with a wild spirt and solid brain.

  • Those look great, OTTB1! I’m debating if I should buy a new tack pack and do the theme that I want (and go broke :D ) or just use what I have and pick a different theme.
    Thanked by 1OTTB1
  • @Misara you won’t be technically “broke” since daily payout still increases it all, but if you visit the member created wiki and look at all the tack packs to find ones your most interested in, then if they’re in your budget you can get the IVs and boom! New tack packs that you’ll love! :)

    Theme: The Simple Things - Fall Trail Riding

    Fall is (to me) the most beautiful time of the year to trail ride. The crisp, cool air, golden sunshine, and vibrant colors coupled with the companionship of a trusty Horse and scenic trails - what could possibly be more enjoyable or more peaceful?

  • LG, Can i add to the pot?
  • Lingonberry121391 absolutely ♡♡♡ I would recommend waiting to see how many participants get involved. However yes of course you can!
  • Horses entered in the Ice post for a boost token would count for this, if anyone's interested in using their horse for this contest as well :-?
  • Wow sorry I missec this, I love to do this competition. I would love to do something race related for the racing breeds myself using a random number thing but I don't have the funds for prizes lol.

  • Just a few days left for entries! All players welcome!
  • If no one else enters by end of the 28th, I will split the prize pot and call it. No sense in keeping it open if no one else is interested.

    (No new entries since the 2nd)
  • I’ll enter!

    I love the Dutch warmblood BC particularly because halters and bridles fit them!

    Not sure if I’d call this one fantasy, if I need to change it I’m happy to. I couldn’t recall exactly what her ambassador tack set was, but if I remember correctly it was really similar to this.
