Me? I'm Bianca. I've been playing Howrse for nearly 15 years! I am an adult, I live in Australia, and between me and my husband we have 2 horses, 4 cats, 3 dogs and a dingo. Allira is our older mare, she is 9 this year (on October 15th) and she is a wild bay (with LOADS of white hairs through her coat) Brumby standing at about 14.3hh. Allira was born out in the West Australian desert to a wild mare, but the mare died 4 days after birth. Allira was found by a prospector, brought into town, and I got her when she was 5 weeks old. Our younger mare is Yula, she turned 7 on December 20th, she was orphaned at 2 weeks old and was in really bad shape when I first got her, but to look at her now you would never guess she was an orphan at all. Yula is the same white speckled wild bay as Allira. Eckey was our big dopey OTTB, he passed away 05/12/18. We miss him. Our dogs are: male Mastiff hybrid named Ragnar Lodbrok, and he is BIG. He was born on November 6th 2018. Our female dogs are Adora Belle Dearheart and was a rescue we got with her littermate and sister Faith when they were just 4 weeks old and Princess Pickle our little rescue chihuahua born on our wedding anniversary. Faith now lives next door as she is my mum's dog, but she lived with us until she was a little over 3 months old and she comes over often for a play-date with Adora and Pax. Pax is our dingo, she's a pure Alpine Dingo (she is more pure than the dingoes at Perth Zoo!). Pax is 9 years old and she is the sweetest girl, but she has no recall so when she escapes she runs away for a few hours sometimes! She is getting a LOT better at coming right home though, most of the time she sticks around our yard unless the puppies have dug under the fence. Some of the FAQ on owning a dingo: 1) yes, it's pretty much like owning a dog in most respects, however her instincts are closer to the surface so strangers need to be very gentle, slow and quiet when they meet her or she may bite. 2) no we will not be breeding her. Dingo hybrids are generally unpredictable and can be dangerous if the owner is not experienced in owning dingoes, and female dingoes become overprotective, possessive and territorial after they have had puppies, so we had her sterilised. They are also in heat for 6-8 weeks!! In this time they are incredibly annoying as they pine for a dingo mate, LOUDLY. 3) no, she doesn't bark. Dingoes CAN bark, with some effort - their vocal chords are a little different from a dog. They howl and yip though, and sometimes it sounds like she is barking when she yips because she can yip pretty deep - the reason dingoes yip and howl is because a bark echoes in a way that you can find where it's coming from but a howl is a lot harder to track down as it echoes differently - this makes it safer for them to yip and howl in the wild as other predators will find it harder to track them down and find their dens. Due to growing up with a dingo 'mama' Adora doesn't bark much either, she grumbles and growls and huffs a bit but mostly she 'talks'. 4) no, she isn't dangerous. She is GREAT with kids, she absolutely loves them (especially our niece, she adores her). Obviously we wouldn't leave her unattended with any child, but the same goes for Adora and Ragnar and should for ALL canine type mammals. 5) no, she is not a breed of dog, dingoes are canines but they are a SPECIES not a breed (like a zebra and a horse!). I am happy to answer any questions about Pax or dingoes in general, just PM me  . Our kitties: Bailey is 7 and a little grey tabby, she was the runt of the litter and she's still half the size of my mum's cat which is her brother from the same litter. DimiTree is my sister's cat we have had for 3 years now, she is 5. Dimi has a tuxedo coat pattern and she is SUPER smoochy! Rumble is our youngest, he is also 4 (he's 4 months younger than Dimi) and he was a little feral I rescued when I went to buy coke and got a tabby kitten instead! He was only 4-5 weeks old when we got him but he was incredibly cuddly and loving (and purred SO loud which is where he got his name). His favourite place to sleep is on his bed next to my computer. Mr Binx is a 6 year old rescue cat we adopted from a shelter. He is white with black patches and a little pink nose. All 4 of the cats are inside cats, I believe cats should be kept indoors or into an escape proof enclosure for outside time - this is to protect the wildlife and to protect them from being hurt or catching sickness from strays. I used to work at a horse riding school teaching people to ride, I worked there for 4 years and quit so I could move home and help my dad in his last months. I then worked in a women's refuge until 2018, the job was amazing and offered so many opportunities, but it was very emotionally draining and the stress triggered pretty severe relapses with my MS. I ran a girls group in town through work as well, called Kungka Night for girls 9-16 years old which is a still a hit with the girls and was super fun to run (Kungka is local language for young girl). On Howrse, I have been a member of several ranked teams of varying breeds, but had to pull our due to time constraints. I collect GA and RC horses, and Unicorns, and anything that catches my eye really. | randoms       | |||

Trying to find a team is harder than it used to be...especially since it's been a long time since I was working with that breed. Slightly frustrating that it's taking so long :/

If someone wants to haggle on the price of one of my horses (that is marked as negotiable), I am ok with that. What I am NOT ok with is being sent ONLY the amount of passes they want to pay without bothering to put in an equus offer. When you offer on a negotiable horse, it is YOUR job to offer an entire price on the horse that you would be willing to pay. NOT a message just saying the amount of passes you want to pay. It is not my job to read your mind. I just wont bother answering your messages until I get a complete offer.

Please, before you ask me for a negotiable price on a horse I have for sale for equus and passes, remember that passes are worth different amounts to different people. To me, a pass is worth over 300k, but I generally add 250k to the price PER PASS REMOVED. So a horse up for 500e and 3 passes would cost 750k without passes.

PEOPLE! I have said it before and I will say it again! If I have a horse in the sales with a fixed price (i.e. NOT marked as negotiable) then DONT ask me what the equus only price is!!! You WILL be blocked and reported!

We just got wifi at home :) so I'll be on more now, as in more regularly not for longer times (i think 7-8 hours a day might possibly be too much, but hey, who's counting! Check out my forum for pics

If I have a horse up and it is marked as negotiable, and you send me a message saying 'what is the lowest' YOU WILL BE IGNORED. It is not MY job to haggle with YOU over the price of a horse I am selling. I took the time to put the horse up for sale, don't waste it by asking a dumb question. Make an offer, and I will let you know if I will take it or not.

thank youuuuu delyth for pushing my trail comp over the edge to be eligible for rosettes!!!!!!!
--------------------------------
Here's some simple guidelines to follow if you PM me. Yeah there's a lot of DON'Ts. I've had loads of silly PMs lately, can you blame me?
DON'T ask to buy any of the horses in ANY tab except the Sale or SH one. The answer will ALWAYS be NO!
DON'T ask me to pull a horse out of auctions for you. I won't do it. Once it's in auctions, it stays in auctions!
DON'T ask to buy any of my GA or RC horses. Again, the answer will be no. The answer will always be no..
DON'T ask what the equus only price is on a horse not marked as negotiable. You will be blacklisted and reported.
DON'T offer ludicrously low amounts for ANY of my horses, the answer will be a definite NO and you will be blocked.

So, tomorrow will be my 1000th day on Howrse. If I have 4000 congrats tomorrow, on my 1000th day, I will give the 4000th person to congratulate me a Golden Apple. Send me a screenshot if it is you 
Congratulations to horselover5122

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ALBINO HORSE!!! Ahhh it annoys me so much when someone assumes that a double dilute is 'albino' because it has pink skin and blue eyes. The ONLY horses that are born with zero pigmentation are lethal white foals, which die within a few days of birth because their colon isn't formed!

Guilt trips do not work on me. Trying to make me feel bad for turning down an offer on a negotiable sale, will simply make me take note of your name and not sell to you in the future. If you don't have a divine, work for one. If you can't buy passes, find a divine that is for sale for equus only.
--------------------------------
Some tips on messaging me.
DON'T beg for my horses. I worked to get them and I will not give them away for nothing.
DON'T beg for my BM items. I paid for them with real money or equus and again, will not give them away for nothing.
DON'T message me in chat speak [dnt tlk lyk dis or i wnt repli t2 yuh].
DON'T get offended if I correct your spelling when you message me.
DO message me to chat. I can't say I will always reply, but I am welcome to chat about Howrse and horses in general.
DO compliment me on my horses and/or EC, it's always nice to hear I'm doing a good job.
DO message me asking for help. I won't necessarily donate anything to you but if I have horses available I will board them in your EC and I will give you tips on how to make the game easier.
DO check out my EC forum, there's lots in there aimed at being helpful and fun.
DO be polite or I will block you. I don't report messages unless they are mildly horrific, but if you harass me I will block you, and if you get someone else to message me after I block you, I will block them too, and you will both be reported.
DON'T ask my equus only price on a horse that is up for equus and passes and not marked as negotiable. You will be blocked and reported.
DON'T ask me to pull a horse from auctions because you want it. If you want it, then bid on it!
