Races close on Mondays at 9PM EST! Our Next Sale Begins: January Y22.
02/05/23 We're almost ready to kick off the New Year here at Final Furlong! The New Years Sale is still OPEN for bids - lots of ponies needing homes! As well, we're hoping to close January Week One races by MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6. However, if we need to extend closing date so more people can get entered, just let us know in the Discord. In addition to getting your pages ready, don't forget to use your bonus points if you'd like!
01/29/23 Congratulations to KENREN for winning the Y21 Breeders' Cup Betting Contest! You've won a breeding reserve to FIFTY DREAMS (Firestone Stud) and 2x 2 furlong extensions + 5 bonus horse points! Lolly finished 2nd, and Cruisey finished 3rd.
12/08/22 The Breeder's Cup Betting Contest will make a return for Y21!!! It'll be a little bit different because of the new points system, but get ready for some end of year fun 😄
11/21/22 Entries for the New Year Sale are now open! We know it seems a bit early, but with life things we're going to need time to make sure things are right lol. Please follow the link here: https://final-furlong.proboards.com/thread/2304/y22-new-year-sale
08/20/22 Judging has been the basis for issues for a long time - taking too long, drama regarding results, bias, etc. Kenren has attempted to put a points system together that keeps the spirit of our system while streamlining and standardizing the process. It's a lot to take in, but once you get in the swing of it, preparing pages with these points takes way less time than doing a layout change lol! If you have any questions, please post them in the judging-help channel on Discord for now. If anyone needs help with anything, please let an admin know! We would like to give everyone one week to get things settled, and then we would like to run July Wk 2 using this system closing 8/27/22 (or earlier if everyone is ready). If it works out, we would like to run two game weeks per RL week to get things moving! Thank you all so much for being her!e
07/27/22 To start July off fresh, we've been playing around with a new theme for Final Furlong! Make sure to check out 'Sonorous' under your profile ❤️ Feel free to use whatever theme works best for yourself. We can't wait to get back to racing!
07/21/22 it's official! We're back! It looks like June Wk 4 was almost fully judged, so make sure you get that updated if you hadn't! We will plan to close the next week (July Wk 1) on Thursday, August 4th. This close day may change, but it's not a bad place to start! For now we'll be doing one game week per RL week to get back into things. Please remember that starting the second half of the year, 3yos can compete against older horses without automatic lower placements.
As an aside, because this is fairly sudden after a whole year, we will not be allowing reclaims on horses for members not currently active for a few months. We will readdress this going forward if needed. Thank you all for understanding!
07/08/22 GO answer the poll ❤️ https://final-furlong.proboards.com/thread/2232/ff-restart-poll
Basics Name: Corpse Garden YOB: Y12 Gender: Mare Color: Bay Height: 16.0hh Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: Imported from Spain, Corpse Garden is an example of a horse that had the potential to be great but, due to an unfortunate accident before her debut race, never managed to fulfil it. Unable to be run, she was originally used to provide company to skittish or shy horses - her kind nature making her the perfect candidate for such a thing. Now she's older, she's being given the chance to try her hand (well, hooves) at being a broodmare.
Corpse Garden has an ideal temperament. She's generally polite - though can barge a little when food is involved - and gets on well with other horses. One thing she adores are carrots. Show her one and she'll do practically anything for you. Then again, though, the same can be said for pretty much any other kind of treat.
A silly habit that this mare has is that when she drinks, she loves to splash the water about. This often leads to either her face being covered in it, or her tipping her water bucket open. Because of it, staff have learnt to glance into her stable whenever they pass by it - more often than not discovering that they need to stop and refill her water yet again.

Basics Name: Omniscience YOB: Y11 Gender: Mare Color: Bay Height: 16.1hh Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: Omniscience has always preferred the company of people over the company of other horses. She's rather shy and, because of that, regularly found herself being bullied when she spent time with the mares. With humans, though, she had the chance to receive some love and attention, and the escape from constantly worrying about who she was with helped her to come out of her shell enough to make her shine.
Too timid for the track, it was clear that she was never going to race. She bounced from owner to owner, being used mainly as a casual riding horse, until she was picked up by King of the Hill Stables. As impulsive as ever, Arthur made a quick decision to buy her and try her out as a broodmare. If that didn't work out, well, he supposed young George could always do with a new horse that he could ride in his spare time.
Her biggest fear is thunder and lightning. A storm will terrify her - sending her running in circles around the paddock if she is left outside. When possible, it's best to bring her in and, if somebody has time to spare, to sit with her in an attempt to calm her down. The best way to do this is to offer her food. The distraction won't last forever, but at least it helps for a moment.

Basics Name: Nasty Imp YOB: Y11 Gender: Mare Color: Chestnut Height: 15.3hh Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: Though her name suggests a mean horse, Nasty Imp is more mischievous than willingly cruel. She's the kind of mare that loves to make noise, and it's not uncommon to hear her get into a shouting match with any horse (or, in fact, other animal) that will join in with her. Another thing that she likes to do is run, but only when somebody doesn't want to. If she's asked to move, she'll often stand stock still - or, alternatively, sprint off in the opposite direction. Even with work, this stubbornness to do as she's told did not improve, resulting in her racing career ending before it even began.
Nasty Imp enjoys spending time outside, grazing as she wants to. She'll tolerate being kept inside for a while, but eventually she'll start to kick at the walls and, if she can, chew the door. She is a horse that's been known to bite. Though she means it playfully, it still hurts and it is advised to never turn your back on her because she will take the chance to nibble on your shoulder if she can.
As a mother, Nasty Imp is very protective. She is not overly aggressive about keeping others away from her foal, but she will ensure that nobody touches her baby whenever she can. When it comes to people, usually she does this simply by blocking access with her body. She has, however, been known to kick and bite if somebody is too persistent for her liking.
