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: Firebrand YOB: Y18 Gender: Gelding Color: Chestnut Height: 16hh Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation
Personality: Zachary is unpredictable. One minute he's fine with you on his back, and the next, you're on the ground. He'll be fine with other horses around him, and then he won't be. Some days he's fine with the clippers near his ears, and others, he thinks that they're going to eat him. Every morning it's a mystery as to which side of him you're going to get. Hence why he was gelded. Thankfully it's mellowed him out a bit, though he's still unpredictable. The one good thing we can say about him is that he does not care who's on his back. He's easygoing in that aspect. He likes to rub his head on whatever's closest whenever the bridle or halter comes off. A nearby fence post, another horse, or even whoever's unlucky enough to stand near him.
Whereas he's unpredictable off the track, he's much more levelheaded on it. There's no highjinks here for him to pull. Although he will act up in the post parade and when loading into the starting gate every once in a while. Gotta remind everyone of his usual personality. He is the type of horse to burst out the gates and go straight for the lead. But he doesn't leave lengths in between the other horses and himself, preferring to stay close to the pack. He hates being behind other horses and he'll get flustered if he suddenly finds himself in the back of the pack. He's not afraid to get into speed duels if there's another horse vying for the lead. Of course, he sometimes gets so focused on beating the other horse, that he doesn't always notice if there's other horses coming up alongside them. As they enter the stretch though, that's when he'll pull away from the others, almost joyfully, charging forward as if being at the front of the pack took nothing out of him.
