Hello,

Im a returinig member to horse eden from years ago, i think i originally discovered and joined when it was year 1 or 2 on this site. so a lot has changed this time around! i have a rather long... cry for help really, as im starting to lose hope- but my question is:

is there an easier way to obtain an EEE mare other then watching auctions, and being outbid by the "big wig" stables? ive been literally trying to purchase an EEE+ mare for a couple weeks, ive been saving my eden bucks and showing a few horses. but im not making the money as quickly as other more advanced stables would be. im not complaining by any means. im just troubled and a little frustraed that i cant manage to snag a EEE+ mare from an auction, where horses are supposed to have a decent price on them (even if i sit there are refresh the page every 4 seconds someone always snipes them from me lol ive tried multiple times). every time i bid on them i usually get outbid by the more advanced stables and its becoming a little bit discouraging for me. and im not sure how to really obtain (specifically) an EEE+ mare. i have pleanty of EEE stallions. any tips would be helpful. even if its just how to properly match horses to produce my own EEE foal.

i do search them for sale but usually if they are a lower price they are 18+ which is almost pointless to me as they will pass away sooner rather then later, and i rarely am able to fine one for a lower price at a younger age. im still a rather new account (just a few months old) so i really dont have that many eden bucks to spend on a horse.

any help or tips would be super helpful! im still relearning the game! im not whining im just honestly curious if theres another way or if i just need luck on my side.

You can buy mares that aren't for auction that are EEE+ for fairly cheap. Especially if you can find them during RO. Just use the search tab, and you'll find plenty. If you can't find one that is to your liking, you could buy a straw from a promising stallion and match him to another stables' broodmare.

I got my 1 of 1 EEE mare out of a PEE x EEW. So there are chances through breeding certain matches that you can get EEE+. Most of it is through luck and good pairings.

I wouldn't recommend setting your hopes on auctions, since it can end up being a waste of time/money. Most of the mares I've bought from auction ended up being useless, honestly.

I hope that you find a mare that you're looking for. :)

Go to Search>Search Horses and then you can input what you want. You don't need to buy from auction. Also, there is an "Adopt a Newbie" forum somewhere, which I highly recommend. And feel free to leave a wish in WhizBar's wish forum. People there are *incredibly* generous. Getting an EEE mare or 2 should be no problem.

Sent a little something your way <3

She's still young, so her training isn't tracked yet, but hopefully she'll be a good mare for you!

thank you everyone for the responses! i super appreciate all of your advice and time! <3

I make money by buying and selling good horses. Keep an eye on the search function and you will often find EEE mares for under 20k but you need to check multiple times a day. Auctions are amazing for cheap horses but you also need to check throughout the day. Obviously when less people are on the game is the best time to watch those auctions. Your stable is young enough that you can bid on horses in the Adam's Junior Auction. That will keep a lot of the rest of us from sniping. Also, sell or geld your EEE stallions. They are useless if you want to breed for ratings. There are plenty of WWW stallions out there that you will be able to breed your good mares to at reasonable prices. Try to breed your mares to the highest rated stallions you can find and afford.
