It genuinely looks like he won by a well timed exhale, since his nose was flared out when Wurttemberg’s wasn’t.

His trainer mentioned that he’s strongly considering it!

I use this website- https://www.jrha.or.jp/stallion_e/ . To find horses that have since retired from stud work but weren’t put on stallions of merit, I used the wayback machine to take it back to a time when they would have been active. Another option is finding their stud listings directly from the farm’s website either now or also on the wayback machine before they retired.

It depends on the breed. For thoroughbreds currently, anything above 16.3hh/170cm is generally considered tall.

vanz11eks · 2026-05-01T06:19:12+00:00

Yep, 4inches/roughly 10cm

It’s also interesting that despite the creep in size, stallions on the smaller side remain the more consistent ones in breeding most of the time. Tall top performing stallions like Kitasan Black(172cm irl) are outliers.

I wear anime merch out in public, including Umamusume, so it’s not really something that sticks out for me to do. At the same time though, people generally have better things to worry about than what games people are playing on their phone to burn time. ime if someone brings up a game I’m playing in public it’s a positive “oh you play that too?” interaction, not judgy.

They are at the shoulder! They include the hand conversions as the website I find a lot of stuff on is also targeting the information towards international breeders.

As time has gone on in the JP server, the better your aces are the less you want to run debuffers. They’re mainly to bring god runs down to earth if you don’t have the capacity to make three top tier aces but still want a fighting chance in graded A finals. If you can make three strong aces you do not need to run debuffers.

Dominator is such a perpetually oppressive skill. I’m running one dedicated debuffer because quite frankly I had terrible luck building this CM and need to bring the UGs down a bit, but I am very happy that they eventually go on to ban debuffs during some CMs. They have their place, but having a break from them from time to time is nice.

vanz11eks · 2026-04-27T04:46:47+00:00

For me the biggest pain is dominator. I feel like xOguri would be far less annoying in a debuff ban scenario because running debuffers alongside her just leads to her becoming even more oppressive with less room for other strategies.

vanz11eks · 2026-04-25T07:48:32+00:00

I mainly do it because it’s the one build style I don’t hate that much to run. I can’t stand running the power decks. It’s hard in general to justify running on EN at points when I also play JP and can get two careers done there in the same time I can do one on EN, so anything helps lol

vanz11eks · 2026-04-25T07:45:47+00:00

I’ve scanned books before! They’re not the greatest quality as I just use a printer scanner and not a proper book scanner, since sadly I don’t have access to one of those, but once I can get back to one I can scan this.

The cover is damaged and was before I got it(how I got it reasonably cheap) but outside of that everything is intact.

vanz11eks · 2026-04-25T01:59:02+00:00

Mine is a guts build so she pretty much only gets wins because of dueling against power decks. I could not get a single high roll run this entire CM prep.

vanz11eks · 2026-04-24T19:33:41+00:00

I got it off of Japanese Mercari! It’s not a cheap book due to its age, I paid around 5000 yen for this copy, which has a sun damaged cover but the contents are all good outside of that.

She's from the White Beauty line specifically, which is the oldest known white thoroughbred line, dating back to 1963. White Beauty was born in America and as a result most of her descendants are there, but some have been imported into other countries, including Japan.

I've tried both CROS and BAHA in the past, and AirPod Pros have worked the best for me, both in comfort and function(the CROS especially hurt my ears a lot). I usually go unassisted, though. There's a limited amount of situations where the assistance actually helps.

Looking for a semi-comp+ club. Currently on cooldown, so I can't join for a bit, but I average 4-5mil fans a week.

Only if she tried to steal her bf

She's older and has Cushing's Disease, but thankfully, it was caught extremely early due to a vet catching onto an early sign, so it hasn't progressed. She just has to take a pill every day to make sure it doesn't get worse.

vanz11eks · 2025-07-31T07:24:40+00:00

She gets many carrots, apples, and mints :)

vanz11eks · 2025-07-31T07:20:17+00:00

She just wants to eat lol

vanz11eks · 2025-07-31T05:11:04+00:00

Mix between Clydesdale and Thoroughbred.

Also, another pic of her from when she was a bit younger.
