I am an adult player who has always wanted LOTS of horses so thank you Howrse, for helping this dream come true. It sure is easier to keep a virtual barn immaculate than a real one.... Thank all of you who visit my page and congratulate me, and those who visit my EC forum and help keep it interesting.
In real life, I now have 2 horses, one is a Registered Paint, with Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse lines and the second is a strawberry roan TWH. My Paint mare (now retired) and I had been working on moving cows (cutting, sorting, etc.) for the past few years. I bought Jack, a quarter hors, to keep sorting, but I have moved away from that, and sold Jack to a good friend who has loved him for a few years. Lucy, my TWH, is a sweet trail horse. I have one indoor cat at present, Star, who just loves to have her belly rubbed and a pair of barn cats, who love attention!, adopted when we moved to our new home.
Some of my Howrse history and high points:
Sapphire Ice, my howrse, that I bred (in my breeding group, Dynamix, formerly Heavenly Nokotas) and trained, came in 1st in the Western Grand Prix Trail competiton on January 2, 2014. Priceless, my Argentinian Criollo whom I bred on my Leyenda team, won the cutting Prix on February 2, 2015. Last statistic: Oct. 8, 2016 was the first time I hit my best ranking ever: 61st!!! ( I have been at that spot many times since.)
Some of you may have heard about “Breeders Week” when a team doesn’t sell their top skillers, and instead allows their team members to compete in their breed’s Prix. I believe that I am the individual who first promoted this idea on Howrse, several years back when I was a member of Heavenly Nokotas. At the time, I was trying to compete in the Western Prix, and as a member of 3 teams, it was very hard to compete successfully. So I suggested it, and eventually we adopted the idea.
