Welcome to Mesa's Year 37 Scavenger Hunt! There will be multiple winners and multiple prizes offered for the rest of April. So check back often to see if a new round has been posted!

How it Works:
-Each round I will post something specific I am looking for in a horse. It might be a horse with a heart shaped marking, it might be a horse wearing a certain tack item, etc. Each round you will be looking for a horse on the Mesa Server that meets the specifications asked for.
-The first person to post a link to a horse that meets the criteria will win a 37,500 HB Prize!
-If you are the winner of a round, please sit out the next round, but feel free to join back in on the round after. (Example: The round 1 winner would sit out for round 2, but could win again in round 3).
-I'll post new rounds periodically throughout the rest of April. I expect at least 7 rounds, but I may increase that as my cash flow allows.
-Rounds may increase in difficulty, depending on how the first few rounds go.

Interested in donating towards the prizes?
Send me a PM if you would like to contribute towards scavenger hunt prizes this month. If there's enough interest from donors I will increase the prize amount and decrease the time between each round!

Thanks to a generous donation from @TripleGFarm, prizes will be increased for each round! Check the main post for edits.

Is this enough of a sock?

RamshornRanch · Apr 14, 2023 1:56 PM

I won't be picky. We'll call it a win! My portion of your prize has been sent. I will message TripleG about the remainder.

Watch for Round 2 coming soon!

Round 2:
I’m looking for a male horse with hot pink leg wraps.
The horse may NOT be owned by you.

Walywoohoo · Apr 15, 2023 5:14 PM

Please tell me this is hot enough. I hate you :(( lol just being a brat. This one is hard!

RamshornRanch · Apr 15, 2023 6:12 PM

Sorry Waly, I’m going to say that’s pastel pink. Not hot pink.
If one isn’t found in a reasonable time frame I’ll make an adjustment.

Walywoohoo · Apr 15, 2023 7:49 PM

Haha yes, kinda baby pink.

lingonberry121391 · Apr 15, 2023 8:12 PM

I’m looking but holy cow are leg wraps hard to find in general

lingonberry121391 · Apr 15, 2023 8:18 PM

Is this bright enough?

Laskivani · Apr 15, 2023 8:18 PM

CM Atlantic Elegance

is this hot enough?

Laskivani · Apr 15, 2023 8:19 PM

Oh, sorry, lingonberry121391 I didnt see you posted

lingonberry121391 · Apr 15, 2023 8:19 PM

I think we posted at the same time lol

RamshornRanch · Apr 16, 2023 9:07 AM

Personally I was looking for hotter, but Laskivani’s entry does seem pretty close to the hot pink from this page so I will declare that a win.

My portion of your prize has been sent. I will message TripleG about the rest.

Round 3 coming soon!

Walywoohoo · Apr 16, 2023 10:59 AM

I think I went cross eyed looking at horses lastnight! Tell me Ram, have YOU seen a horse that fit the bill? Please link it if so!

Laskivani · Apr 16, 2023 1:08 PM

In the in-game preselected colors, I guess the "magenta" is the ideal for hot pink? Can keep looking... The one I found is the next closest to the magenta I believe.

On another note: can a member with a basic (no upgrade) acct still contribute to prizes?

Amanda23 · Apr 16, 2023 7:32 PM

Will this work

Alyssa22 · Apr 16, 2023 7:36 PM

I don’t think that will work since you own the horse

RamshornRanch · Apr 17, 2023 10:47 AM

@Walywoohoo,
Of course I haven't found a horse that matches what I'm looking for silly. That's why I'm offering prizes for you to find it for me. Haha, ;)

@Laskivani,
As long as you have the ability to send funds to another player you are welcome to contribute to prizes. I think non-upgraded accounts have this as well, but you might have to have been a member for 2 months or something like that. It's under My Stable > Account And Stable Management > Pay Another Member

@Amanda23
Sorry, Round 2 is over, and you also own that horse. So it would not have qualified under the rules for Round 2. But I am posting Round 3 right now if you want to try for that round!

RamshornRanch · Apr 17, 2023 10:51 AM

ROUND 3:
I am looking for a horse that has a pile of christmas presents in their image. The horse cannot be owned by you.
The christmas presents can appear in the background image or as a tack item.

Walywoohoo · Apr 17, 2023 10:54 AM

Lol!! I'm enjoying this game immensely :D

**GIFT L1**Pay it Forward
Better link

RamshornRanch · Apr 17, 2023 11:59 AM

Super speedy Waly! My portion of your prize is on its way. I will message TripleG about the remainder.

Round 4 will be coming sometime tomorrow (Tuesday).

lingonberry121391 · Apr 17, 2023 12:35 PM

Goodness you were lightning fast on that one!

Walywoohoo · Apr 17, 2023 2:53 PM

Ha I came here to respond to Ram's last comment, and when I posted it refreshed and I noticed that round 3 had been announced. I had seen that Summer has some horses with gifts, so I quickly searched her herd. Just luck that I picked up the phone when I did haha

Walywoohoo · Apr 17, 2023 3:11 PM

Oh, and thanks so much for the prizes! It's quite helpful :D

RamshornRanch · Apr 18, 2023 1:52 PM

ROUND 4:
I am looking for a horse wearing the "Unicorn Horn?" tack item. The horse CANNOT be owned by you.

Hint: The unicorn horn? tack item is actually a cone shaped party hat placed to look like a unicorn horn on the horse's forehead. It is only available to basic or premium upgraded players.

lingonberry121391 · Apr 18, 2023 5:31 PM

I just looked through a little over 4000 horses and still have yet to find one. My eyes are a bit crossed.

LadyhawkeStables · Apr 18, 2023 5:59 PM

Found one!!

Drobny

lingonberry121391 · Apr 18, 2023 6:17 PM

@LadyhawkeStables - It's the other "unicorn horn" party hat, not the actual unicorn horn

LadyhawkeStables · Apr 18, 2023 6:30 PM

Aww shucks! I forgot about that one because it's not an option for light boned horses. Good hint for someone else looking though!

Tarma · Apr 18, 2023 6:55 PM

I do have at least one with it. If you can manage to find it in the mess I call barns, anyway.

lingonberry121391 · Apr 18, 2023 7:11 PM

Found one! Thanks for the hint!

RamshornRanch · Apr 19, 2023 8:27 AM

Lingonberry, I think you earned that one! I knew that one was going to be a little tough.

My portion of your prize is sent, and I'll message TripleG to get theirs over as well.

Watch for Round 5 tomorrow!

lingonberry121391 · Apr 19, 2023 8:46 AM

Thank you! <3<br />I think I ended up looking through over 6000-7000 horses. It was a tough one for sure.

Walywoohoo · Apr 19, 2023 10:09 AM

I think I have a few of those too; I let my children decorate some horses, so don't judge if you notice some wildly mismatched tack in my herd :))

RamshornRanch · Apr 19, 2023 11:11 AM

Kids are uninhibited by worrying about what other people will think. So they probably came up with some great ideas!

Viajoy · Apr 19, 2023 2:52 PM

Lol! I get so OCD if filter my mares and they don’t have tack. Might have to make a couple have some premium stuff on them for this!

RamshornRanch · Apr 20, 2023 2:02 PM

ROUND 5: You're going to have to work for this one!

I am looking for 7 horses total with the watercolor gene.
Each horse must be owned by a different player, one of the horses may be owned by you.
Each horse must have a different coat color that matches a color of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple.

So you're looking for 1 red colored watercolor horse, 1 orange colored watercolor horse, 1 yellow colored watercolor horse, 1 green colored watercolor horse, 1 blue colored watercolor horse, and 1 purple colored watercolor horse. All owned by different players.
