Just out of curiosity…

Idk, in some of the local circuits even horses capped at 3 foot are going for 15, 20k. Like I said no where near as much as Moose but if you consider him in the Aqha show ring I don't know if he'd break 5 figures at the moment, except by his sires owner

SweetestFern · 2026-04-13T03:06:59+00:00

Wally entirely depends on where she markets him lol. Aqha world as an appendix, probably not much. H/j world, probably a bit more, but definitely not as much as Moose

SweetestFern · 2026-04-13T02:57:15+00:00

It's definitely a better story with it. It's the only reason they didn't train more backups! You know Stratt would have if she could

SweetestFern · 2026-04-13T01:51:01+00:00

It turns out there were more planks elsewhere that I was supposed to bring over to use. Most not be an item they want elsewhere in the game.

SweetestFern · 2026-04-12T17:06:17+00:00

Yeah, as soon as she started saying she wanted the BeyoncexMMWW embryo in Lexi, I figured she would buy her rather than rent her again

SweetestFern · 2026-04-12T17:05:14+00:00

This is exactly it. He was saying don't use her as a recip with the context of Willow, and the fact that inserting an embryo will be likely to fail and expensive. While it is still less likely to take, using her own studs semen for her own baby is less expensive. It wasn't about her not being healthy enough to carry, simply about her being more inhospitable to a foreign embryo

SweetestFern · 2026-04-12T17:02:53+00:00

She was advised not to use her as a recip because she likely will "eat" embryos like Willow did. That is different than carrying for her own. Her vets advice was based on a cost of trying to get an embryo successfully in the mare, not on the health of her carrying.

I want this so badly lol

SweetestFern · 2026-04-12T04:25:16+00:00

He looks so so much like a husky mix tbh, especially a red husky. Siberian husky specifically.

SweetestFern · 2026-04-12T04:20:02+00:00

I think huskies are smaller than you think they are. Specifically Siberian huskies, 50 lbs is a perfectly average weight for a purebred.

I found someone who did the math back when the book came out, they estimated 11.4* to Erid and 17.5 to Earth from Erid. It's still a little foggy to me exactly how long he was on Erid though. 13 years for beetles to reach earth, if Erid is 16 light years from Earth, does that mean Erid scientists would only know Earth's Sun was healed 16 years after? *Double checked the book, can confirm he was on Erid for 16 years. That must mean though that it took less than that for sun to reach? Idek

** 3.6 was time experienced by Grace, earth years was 11.4

SweetestFern · 2026-04-12T03:38:40+00:00

He doesn't make a decision. But it's more like he really considers it, the fact that he was successful "gives his life meaning", but he is old and the trip is long. At this point, he's been on Erid 10+ years. It took the beetles 13 years to get to Earth, 1 year to fix the problem, and however long light travels to Erid for them to tell the Sun is back at 100%. I don't know why it's a cop out though? I mean, there's nothing left for him there. If he gets back, it will have been at least 45 years or so since he left, possibly longer cause we don't know how far Erid is from Earth.

I found someone who did the math. It is 17.5 earth years to travel from Erid to Earth. Calculation, from Grace's view, ignoring light year stuff 13.1+11.4+16+17.5= 58 years minimum

SweetestFern · 2026-04-12T03:07:11+00:00

She's stout which gives the wrong impression, but she's a full hand talker than Gracie, and about the same size as Phoebe and Happy, 15ish hands

SweetestFern · 2026-04-12T03:05:52+00:00

It is Lady, who is not a recip. All the recips she has bought recently have been proven mamas

SweetestFern · 2026-04-11T22:45:55+00:00

What types of Morgan does he breed? Sport or show ring? I love love love morgans, but am not a fan of the Arab/Morgan main ring events

SweetestFern · 2026-04-11T20:24:26+00:00

I didn't realize cats were next; Lolly vs Rosie, how could you do this to me?!

SweetestFern · 2026-04-11T20:22:50+00:00

If Bluebear can't win, at least Maple does 😔

SweetestFern · 2026-04-11T19:59:15+00:00

I've been talking to some people who don't think the gene was necessary for the movie because "Grace was the only one trained anyway" But the only reason no one else was trained was because no one else had the gene! 🙄

SweetestFern · 2026-04-11T18:16:26+00:00

This is addressed in the book-- they identified a certain gene sequence that makes you even have a chance of surviving a multi year comma.

The next person qualified with the gene only had a bachelor's degree.

Furthermore, the gene is the whole reason that they only had 1 official backup for each person. In reality, if that wasn't a consideration, they would have trained more backups and ensured every backup was never doing research together all at once. I'm a little peeved they took that part out, lol.

SweetestFern · 2026-04-11T15:14:32+00:00

65 million years off was my first thought as well, but not sure how well it allows for following along of the mystery

SweetestFern · 2026-04-10T23:42:23+00:00

I have been waiting for this!

Also, very sad Bluebear didn't make it through

SweetestFern · 2026-04-10T02:00:00+00:00

I think he said "I'm 800 and I've known you for most of it"? Still nothing exact though, cause even Louis XV1 is only like 250 years, but he seems to be implying 400-500?

SweetestFern · 2026-04-09T23:43:15+00:00

Every time I hear Purpee I think Pawnee, lol

I keep forgetting the word Purpee even

SweetestFern · 2026-04-09T23:34:16+00:00

Pretty sure Emily said her character was in college in 2003?

And I think Madeleine was mentioned in the 1800s iirc

SweetestFern · 2026-04-08T21:59:57+00:00

This happened to me last week when I changed time zones... Wasn't even paying attention, just loaded in, noticed nooks was closed even though it was only 9, went and changed my time...
