This year has been an interesting one hasn't it? We've seen new faces and old ones alike return, new rivals formed and in general just having a lot of fun. As an admin here, I wanted to say thank you! Thank you for your dedication to this game, for your loyalty and love of a game that has been near and dear to my own heart since it's creation. If you would have told me that I would get The Wire back up and running two years ago, I probably would have laughed, but you all have made it happen! Without you, the members, this place wouldn't happen and for that I am extremely grateful!
Now I know most of you already have given out your gifts and I would like to return the gesture. Each gifting will be unique to the needs of the member and I honestly do hope that you enjoy your gifts. I love you all and hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Laceekay: I love that you have returned and you're sticking with this game! It means a lot to me to see that kind of dedication! I perused your barn and saw that you simply have like no horses and this is a situation I wanted to remedy. In light of the new Y15 that's right around the corner...I saw that you will only have two 2yr-olds and I would like to fix that (don't forget IRS/WCS/SOPS sales that are coming) ;). But for your gift I would like to breed you a Y14 Yearling that can begin racing for you in Y15. Seeing that you have the turf distance area covered, I would like to breed you a dirt sprinter/miler. That being said I would like to present you with a Gold Storm x Whistlin' Dixie Y14 yearling.
Name (you choose)
Y13 Color Gender (you choose)

6-9 Furlongs Dirt
Sammy: You have to be one of the hardest working and most loyal members that we have and I see great things in store for both you and Nature Blue in Y15! I'm proud of what you've accomplished and am impressed all at the same time. You pretty much already have accessed my foundation stock, so instead of a breeding for you I'd like to offer my services to do a free horse racing evaluation of any horse of your choosing to post on their page. I find that these little evaluations always add to the pizazz of the horse's page and is helpful to gauge where a racer is at. I hope this is a gift that you find helpful and one that you enjoy.
Kenren: You are never allowed to leave us again. I was so sad to see you poof in the summer, but your return in the fall has been something that I have never been more grateful for! You are such a steady and crucial part to The Wire and have a way of making anyone feel comfortable around you and I want you to know that as an admin that is a quality that I highly admire and respect. Now for your gift, you're pretty much set on horses...especially with your Y14 Juveniles bahaha! BUT I do see that you need some BREEDING STOCK. That being said, I have reclaimed Pyrotechnics from Taylor and would like for YOU to take him in! He's half through his sire to DW Flamekissed! He is an unraced stallion, but I know these bloodlines and know without a doubt that he will be a proven producer if you're willing to put the time into him! You won't find these old MHS lines anwywhere else.
[here he is]
Isabelle: You are a fighter and it shows in the way you manage your barn! I'm so glad that you found us and integrated yourself into our group! You always bring such a fun and lighthearted attitude whenever you're here and sometimes when we get too competitive (coughiknowidocough) you are able to bring the fun element back into things. You help us all keep a proper perspective and that is so valuable! For you, I did notice that your breeding stock is down as well and I would like to help remedy that situation.

Dolly [Original x Original]
Now background info...his lines are killer. This boy is a relation to some of the greatest MHS horses to ever run! Through the sire he's related to my own Ensignia, rips Casualty of War and rips Vagabond - proven talent. The sire's dam is a Mission Possible son, very rare and was a G1 champ on Silver's Stable, which predated MHS...yeah...I'm trusting you to breed this guy carefully!! He's unraced and is to be used for breeding purposes only. I have a foal out of the dam myself that was bred directly to Man O'War. He's waiting in the wings for me
Cruisey: It's always been a pleasure to have you around and you are so relaxed about everything, but always bringing that touch of excellence. It's been a pleasure to have you join the ranks here. Firestone Racing has become great underneath your guidance and I can't wait to see how your barn continues to flourish for you in Y15. That being said, I did notice that you too did not have a sprinter for Y15 to start racing for you and since you did so well with me selling you Flyins Solo...I hope you'll receive this foal with as much excitement and expectation. For this foal I'd like to give you DT Jupiter x Beltane. I myself have been waiting a long time for DT Jupiter and am breeding my own foal from him in Y15, so you better make this foal a FRIGGIN' CHAMP. lol I know you will. This foal will be related to my Y15 Foal Whistle Blower. This will also be Beltane's first foal and I really do know that you can take this high quality foal to the top in the Y15 Sprints. DT Jupiter was a BC Sprint Winner and also The Wire Finish Cup Sprint winner, a huge deal, though his record was small with his owner's disappearance. Beltane needs no introduction and did place multiple times in the Breeder's Cup sprints. Her lines are unquestionable and true blue.

CC: I'm always happy to bump into you online. You have quickly wiggled your way into this group of members and the hard work that you've been putting into your stable is definitely beginning to show. You're always so willing to help out and have come up with ideas that have made the game fun and enjoyable! Keep that up! When it comes to ponies, I think you're pretty set ahha but I would like to extend to you a personal racer or breeder evaluation on any thoroughbred you own. As I said, I always find that it's helpful to have an outside evaluation for perspective and it looks nice on the pages
Sunfrost: You let me get away with murder when it comes to breedings and I know that you don't have any room for more ponies, but I'd like to return the favor to you in some small way. So to you I'd like to offer a foal for you to use at any point you choose. Raider x Djerba's Sunshine. This foal will be half to my Frontier and to Sun Chaser. The foal will be dual surfaced and run 8-12. Raider was a G1 horse who did win the Twilight Stakes and Djerba's Sunshine was also a G1 mare, though her record is lost, but she is a rare Djerba x Suncrest Lily daughter. This foal will do wonders with you. Of that I'm sure.
