Rose HuntOne of the Roses You are Looking For

The Rose Hunt begins on Saturday May 29th and runs through midnight on June 21st. Hunters are seeking 20 Rose objects, each containing one or more Lifestyle, Horse or Apparel items each with a Rose theme.

The Roses are hidden throughout our estate, which includes Carriage Trade and Carriage Trade Northhampton. They maybe be hidden in shops, public areas or parks, which may include public areas of the livery. The will NOT be hidden in residents’ homes or stalls, so please do not enter the residents’ homes or stalls. Repeat: no roses are hidden in any private homes, stables or stalls.

To hunt successfully, select the Rose and ‘buy’ it for 0L. You will receive a folder cleverly named ‘Object’ in your Inventory.

While you are hunting, please behave with respect to all visitors and residents. Please not harass the staff of Carriage Trade during your hunt. We have created fabulous prize items, we know you want them, but it takes our joy out of doing the hunt if we are harassed or if you complain about the prizes. If they are not to your taste, you may always leave.

While you are in our estate, please observe the following rules: NO nudity. NO profanity. NO sexual roleplay of any kind. NO begging for sex, money, or anything else. NO age play. NO wearable horses (they make our beauties sad). NO kiddy, fantasy or anthro avatars (this means no furries, dragons, etc.) NO weapons or violence of any sort. Violators will be asked once to stop doing whatever it is that is against our rules. The second time they will be removed from the estate.
