Hello! My name is Captain Niobe, A.K.A. Niobe, CN, Capt, Captain, "Captain, My Captain" (as one notible friend called me), and just about any other combination you can think of!
I am a 30 year old woman living in Brisbane, Australia. I absolutely love horses, in spite of my last ride ending with me going backside up when I misjudged the height of the horse when dismounting (Fat woman falling! Oh, noes - EARTHQUAKE! RUN! :D). But unfortunately, I haven't had the oppotunity to go riding since. *is sad*
I enjoy what I call "HTML-ing" (which is making webpages in HTML - exactly what the presentation is made with), chatting to online friends, playing with and stroking my cat (everyone who sees him, wants him - I got lucky with this rescue kitty), writing stories and the occasional poem, at least attempting to make music on a VST, and generally being on my computer, when I'm not playing the odd X-Box game (currently, my X-Box addition is Need for Speed: Most Wanted... CrossCops rock! (And no, unless you've played NFSMW, you aren't going to know a CrossCop is Sergeant Cross and his two buddys, all in Corvettes, and all very hard to demolish - but worth 100,000 Bounty if you manage it!)).
My main goal on Howrse is to just have fun. I collect Foundation stock, raise them to 100BLUP, then breed them and sell the offspring (most of the time). My bred stock is of good to high quality, and are ideal for second horses or for NIB breeding.
I also have several personal projects underway, some of which are noted in the Prefix Legend box.
I have recently joined Yankee Lady's "
The Epona Stud Farm" project, or "TESF". I am a non-Foundation BLUPer. I am very proud to be taking part in such a wonderful Project. Feel free to read up on the Project if you like - TESF can
always use a little more help!
I am available to answer any questions you may have about the game. Just send me a PM, and I'll reply as soon as I can.
If for some reason I am unable to answer your query, I will pass you onto someone who can, or direct you to the forums.
But please note, while I'm more than happy to answer game questions, and sometimes chat, I do not accept unsolicited friendship requests, nor do I accept unsolicited covering requests (I will not, under any circumstances, accept a covering from a stallion that is not 100BLUP).
Just a word of warning though. I am honestly sick to death of receiving PMs asking to buy my Foundation stock. So now, anyone who asks about buying my Foundation horses is added to my blacklist. I apologise for being so harsh, but three years of "DO NOT PM ME ASKING TO BY MY FOUNDATION HORSES" in red letters didn't work, I still kept getting PMs. So, this is the way it has to be.
Unsolicited friend requests are not accepted. You're welcome to PM me and politely ask if you can be on my friends list, but be aware that, unless I know you, the answer will
probably be no. (Note: "probably" doesn't mean "always".)
I do
not make layouts for players. In future, I will offer a selection of free pre-made templates for players, but until I do, the answer is a flat out no.
