After many (ok it was 1 person) requests, Windrush Farm will be hosting its own Yearling Sale. I have designed all of these horses, and all artwork is mine. I will decide the winners of each horse on November 30th. Note that I will be doing this in UK time. Below are the rules for "bidding", if you don't follow the rules, then you won't be getting a new horse, simple. Thank you for looking, and I hope you find something that interests you!

~ Amber Trainer, manager

- To "bid" on a horse, you must draw a full body pic of that horse. Backgrounds are not necessary, but would be a nice touch. All horses here, are yearlings, so they can't be drawn as foals, but if you wish to draw them as adults, that is fine.

- No previously made, or free, linearts are to be used. Your drawing should be made from scratch.

- Once your drawing is finished, send it to me in a note, along with a link to your HARPG stable.

- Horses are to be used for harpg. You don't need to race them, but it's what they were bred for.

- Once sold, I would appreciate a link back to WRF saying that you bought the horse from us.

- I have the right to decline any applications. We request that if you ever want to re-sell your horse, that you offer it to us first.

- You can apply for as many horses as you like, but I cannot garuntee you will receive more than 1.

- Your HARPG stable doesnt need to be registered, I kow it taked admins forever to do this, but I do expect you to have some horses already in your stable.

- Winners will be chosen based on future plans for the horse, and creativity. Also a little bit of genetic know how, or at least an interest in being realistic will help your chances.

- If bidding on multiple horses, you must draw them seperatly, not all together in 1 picture.

That is all for now, if I think of anything else I may need to add, I will update this immediately.

A little bit of info, on the horses info. Some are named, but should you wish to change their name you may request to do so. I must like the name for it to be changed. Nicknames, are exactly that, just what WRF has been calling the horses. Once you own the horse, you can nickname it whatever you like. Abbreviations in the "Markings section are very simple; R for right, L for left, F for foreleg, H for hindleg. All horses are listed as "starter" for their pedigree, but next to it, I have put what they were bred for (eg, a Montjeu foal would be expected to run in the epsom derby. I would say a yearling with this pedigree was Turf/Classic). If you have any questions about this part, feel free to ask, I realise it may be a bit confusing. Also I'd like to point out that what I put for the ir pedigree isn't set in stone, it's only a prediction of the horses ability, as you would do when breeding any horse. Heights are again, predicted, once the horse has matured. And personalities cannot be altered in any way. When you buy a horse in real life, it comes with a personality already, it's the same here. Ok, I've talked enough... let's meet the horses!

DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 30TH!!



BIDS: 0
Hip #1
Name: Orion Star
Nickname: Rion (ryan)
Gender: colt
Colour: dark brown
Markings: RH sock, star
Height: 16.2hh
Pedigree: starter - Turf, Sprint
Personality: rather pompous. He thinks he's all that, and likes acting the big man, he intimidates some of the other colts with his antics.


BIDS: 0
HIP #2
Name: Be A Devil
Nickname: Devil
Gender: colt
Colour: light bay
Markings: small star, hind socks, RF coronet
Height: 16.3hh
Pedigree: starter - Turf, Long
Personality: a bit dim, there's not much going on up there, but curious & friendly. He seems to be able to run after his field buddies all day & not tire out, we expect he'll be a long distance runner.



HIP #3 - NOT FOR SALE!!
Name: unnamed
Nickname: Gracie/Freckles
Gender: filly
Colour: grey (mixture of dapple & fleabitten)
Markings: hind socks
Height: 15.3hh
Pedigree: starter - Turf, Middle/Long
Personality: stubborn, lazy, and often very grumpy. She's not much of a people horse.... but strangely enough, she's fiercely competitive, once she's encouraged to start running that is. Since she's so lazy, we think she wont want to do much in the way of running fast, so she may be better suited to longer distance races, and maybe even national hunt racing. It might liven her up a bit.



BIDS: 1
HIP #4
Name: unnamed
Nickname: Shiloh
Gender: filly
Colour: chestnut
Markings: squint blaze, socks on all legs
Height: 16hh
Pedigree: starter - Turf, Mile
Personality: Shy & quiet, perfectly mannered horse. We expect she'll need slow & steady changes, she got very stressed when we moved her to a different barn. New things are frightening to her, but she's not wild in her fear, she just stands alone in a sheltered corner, very quiet. Also a regular companion would be of great benefit to help bring her along mentally & improve her confidence. She has already shown great improvement for being in the paddock with Marty, wherever he is... she's not far behind.


BIDS: 3
HIP #5
Name: Katchme (half sister to Katchit)
Nickname: Wench
Gender: filly
Colour: seal bay
Markings: star, snip
Height: 15.2hh
Pedigree: starter - Turf, Sprinter/Mile/Classic
Personality: The biggest bitch of a horse you'll ever come across. When you first meet her, she acts very sweet and friendly, but before you know it you're in serious danger of being bitten or kicked. She's very fond of cow-kicking, but she double barreled Benton a few days ago... so expect the unexpected is the motto you want with her. When it comes to running, boy can she ever move. Her action is beautiful, and she seems to possess alot of speed, her turn of foot is dazzling. But we've seen her lap the paddock 2 or 3 times before she gets tired. It's hard to tell what the limit of her abilities will be. What we do know... she'll need a strong jockey if she pulls as hard on the bit as she does when being lead.


BIDS: 2
HIP #6
Name: Crakalakan (crack-a-lack-en)
Nickname: Marty, Cracker
Gender: colt
Colour: chestnut
Markings: stripe, RF sock
Height: 17.1hh
Pedigree: starter - Turf, Stayer
Personality: A gentle giant, complete gentlemen. And a bit of a goofball too. He's also rather clumsy, tripping himself up isnt unusual, neither is bashing into things... for example, the doorway to his stall when being lead in or out. Looking past a few minor cuts, caused by clumsiness, he's a beautiful big horse, and should take anyones eye on a racetrack. If he was to go national hunt racing, one of 2 things will happen. Either, going over such large fences will either sharpen him up... or he will fall. It's up to you if you risk it, but maybe hurdles would be within his reach. Such a large horse is often seen over obstacles.


BIDS: 1
HIP #7
Name: unnamed
Nickname: Casper
Gender: colt
Colour: light grey (will grey out to white completely by 3/4 yrs)
Markings: star, stripe, light mane & tail
Height: 15.3hh
Pedigree: starter - Turf, Middle
Personality: Very friendly little horse, he can never have enough attention, and he just loves to please. People amuse him, but he adores them, he'd live in your house if he could. Sometimes he can seem rather pushy, as he barges into you or tries to follow some other person while being lead, but really he's just a curious lil fella who wants to be friends with everyone and everything. He once tried to befriend the tractor. We had just harrowed our gallops for the morning works, and left the tractor parked near the paddock that lil Casper was playing in. Before we knew what was going on he was bounding up and down the fence, calling out to the tractor. He seemed very frustrated when it didn't reply to him.... bless his little heart.



BIDS: 1
HIP #8
Name: unnamed
Nickname: Spook
Gender: filly
Colour: bright bay
Markings: broken blaze
Height: 16.3hh
Pedigree: starter - Turf, Sprinter/Mile
Personality: Your average thoroughbred yearling. She spooks at most things, although sheep absoloutly facinate her. Why? We have no idea... but they do. We reccomend keeping her distanced from them, we once found her trying to eat the sheeps fleece through the fence. Unsurprisingly, when the sheep prostested with a loud baa, she ran off rather quickly. Through this we discovered how fast she is. She also seems to have a very immature mindset, everything is a game to her... at least, everything that doesnt scare her. She can be a bit of a drama queen at times as well. Whoever takes home this filly, is going to have a fun time.

Here you can find various other Thoroughbred Yearling Sales, that are open for bidding just now. This section isn't always up to date, so don't keep hopes up.
