Centaur Parade

Every year Jinx holds a centaur parade. It includes big centaurs, light ones, dinkies and petites. When I arrived, all of these were present, but there were no dragotaurs. I quickly changed and took my place on the ridge.


Centaurs got there early and soon filled the Heliodor sim.


More dragotaurs arrived including one who could breathe fire. And he did, surprising a couple of centaurs.


The parade started and wound through three sims: Heliodor, Elemaria, and Spirit Valley of Kuruk. The way was laggy but fun, and most of us rested in the clearing when we finally reached Kuruk.


Then it was time to go, and dragotaurs took flight.


Centaurs and Dragotaurs can be found at Jinx, now at Fantasy Faire
My outfit is Ramaya from Go! (gacha prizes)

A Horse of a Different Color

You may have noticed that I blog about horses a lot. I really like the Water Horse brand. It can be endlessly modified and adapted. Teegle horses are nice too, and I love to watch the animesh versions frolicking in the pasture. Lately I've been riding RealHorse from Elite Equestrian. They have different horses for different riding styles. For example, there's an Arabian that comes in a sidesaddle edition, a dressage edition, one that's equipped for jousting, and a hunter. They are inexpensive comparatively, and you just add one and go, without looking for a saddle or a tail. They generally come with a hud to change color and one for gestures. Each hud comes with 6 coats and they can be tinted. More editions and styles keep coming. Among the latest are the fantasy horses which were introduced at Fantasy Faire this year.

If fishes were horses, mermaids could ride, and now they do. This is the Kelpy. It's a gacha prize and does not change color, but you have a chance of a number of colors each time you play. These horses are animated and shimmer and glow in various windlights.


The Mini Pixie is also now at Fantasy Faire. It is a fae pony sized for petite and toddler avatars. It has wings that move when you walk or fly, and also comes with a texture hud and gesture hud. It looks like this:


Here's another view:



The Pixie horse is also available for standard size avatars. There are also some beautiful Unicorns, but I can't buy everything, sadly.

And here's a look at my mermaid costume:
