1) How long have you played horse games? > I started playing horse games when I saw an ad for Horseland in one of my PonyClub magazines in 2006. 👵 I got hooked and have played everything from Horseland, HorsePhenomena, OnTheBit, og Eqcetera and numerous others lost to time.

 

2) Do you have any pets? > I have a four year old rough Collie (my stable's namesake), Arlo, my show girl standard Poodle, Shilo, and a thirteen year old corn snake named Lola. I love frogs and amphibians and hope to raise some in the future. 🐸 🐩

 

3) What do you do in your free time? > I am working on my certification in non sporting with my Poodle, so if I am not reading or grooming, I am playing games like Path of Titans and Red Dead Redemption. 🐎

 

4) Are you involved with horses in real life? > I always had horses in my life and I hope to actually own my own some day. 💜 I worked for a wonderful Dressage trainer in Northeast Ohio for a long time and fell in love with some incredible Warmbloods. I also spent my free time back home helping with OTTBs as well as Standardbreds. My family has had Tennessee Walkers and they've always had a special place in my heart.

 

5) What's your favorite horse breed? > Tennessee Walkers 💜 after sustaining a life changing injury after a fall off a sour pony, a Walker mare gave me the confidence to keep trying.

 

6) What's a fun fact about you? > I am full of absolutely worthless dog breed knowledge.

Finally getting around to this

 

1) How long have you played horse games?

Oh a looong, looong time. Since like middle school. I won't say when exactly. I am getting old guys. I binge played HI1. I was on Howrse when horses looked like this I been around a lot and pretty sure I have at least tried most games out there over the years. I have even been with these guys since like the first Ecetera. We have come far since then. 

**I was also in Pony Club way back in the day. Good times

2) Do you have any pets?

Yup. In my house I have three cats, one being a kitten. I have a pittie mix that lives with my grandparents and a ball python as well. I also have my own horse. 

3) What do you do in your free time?

Draw, read, craft, fish, all sorts of things. 

4) Are you involved with horses in real life?

Yes. I grew up a crazy horse girl, ever grew out of it. Did any of us? My mom's friend had horses and the one love of mine was an ex-racer named Bribery. He sadly passed away in 2012. I was also part of my schools horse judging team. I finally got my first horse in 2020 thanks to Covid relief money, haha, and he is my whole world. A TWH gelding named Lee. 

5) What's your favorite horse breed?

Thoroughbreds have always been my favorite, hence why I breed a lot of them in games. I of course am now partial to walkers but I often don't have them in games as I am not a fan of the parked-out look. My horse NEVER does it so its weird to me haha 

6) What's a fun fact about you?

I make custom decals and printables like planners and workbooks and kids activity and learning sheets. I am also trying to start doing equine photography on the side.

Also, as DustyAngel already said, we are cousins in real life :P

1) How long have you played horse games?

My first horse game I logged into was Horse Reality. I think that was 2020. I'm still active there and I like the game. Since then, I have tried almost every other game I could find and I still love playing it. Although I haven't logged in to many of them for a long time. What a shame :/

2) Do you have any pets?

I have a hamster. She's one and a half years old now. As a hamster, she's an old lady. I have a pony, too. She's also an old lady because she's almost 29.

3) What do you do in your free time?

I read, draw and write a lot, play Star STable online and hang out with friends.

4) Are you involved with horses in real life?

Yes, I am. I've been racing since I was 5 years old, and riding since I was about 8. So I'm in the barn four times a week, either to train or to take care of my pony.

5) What's your favorite horse breed?

I like all horses, but my favorite breeds are Marwari and the German Riding Pony.

6) What's a fun fact about you?

My native language is actually German. Therefore, it could be that my texts contain a lot of mistakes.

Hii everyone! 

Just joined this game so thought I wanted to introduce myself;

My name is Pernille, I'm from Denmark and I am 26 years old. I have been playing different horse games - particularly browser-related for around 17 years. I started out at MinStald.dk , I am one of the top players on the Danish server on Howrse and also occasionally play Horse Reality, where I breed pantaneiro horses casually. 

IRL I have a bunch of pets and a couple of horses. I have dogs, cats, a budgie, two horses and a couple of goats - yup I know, a real country girl here lol. My IRL horses are my gelding, Frede, who is 30 years old and I have had him for 17 years. He's an icelandic/shetland mix. And my other horse is 25 years old, her name is Sussie, and she is an icelandic/fjord mix. I have had her for 11 years. 

IRL I study to become a Natural- and Cultural Heritage Management with hopefully specialty in Ecotourism. 

Feel free to add me as a friend, I'm always looking for new connections :) 

Greetings from Denmark!

ello, a little late to this party but figured I'd join in anyways since I'm on (almost) daily. 

My name is Lilith but y'all can call me Lily. I'm an older player (30+) and have been playing horse games since I was probably a teen. I still currently play Howrse, Horse Eden, and a few ps4/mobile games. I have several pets, spanning over several species.

I have two dogs; a 11 year old Pitbull named BossDog, and a 6 year old Staffordshire named Diamond. Both were rescues and I love them dearly. I have two indoor cats; Askew, my crazy black shorthair girl, and Jak, my tailless grey tabby. I have an army of outdoor cats, because they keep reproducing faster than I can get them fixed and rehomed! (Any South Texas folks need a barn cat, let me know lol) I also have farm animals, chickens, geese, goats, cattle, and rabbits. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own 9 quarter horses!

I don't have a specific favorite breed, but I love (obviously) Quarter Horses. There's a few breeds I just don't like but I would never look down or disrespect anyone who owns them or loves them! I'm just opinionated! 

I don't usually have free time between work and chores but when I do, I read, knit or play games. I sleep as often as possible as well! I enjoy quite time, as I don't get much it is sacred to me! 

A fun fact about me that not many know, I'm retired military and I LOVE TO TRAVEL! 

See y'all around :)

Hi everyone, I joined HoFa yesterday and thus far am excited by what im seeing, especially since I actually tamed my first Paso Fino Wild today. I sat thinking what do i want to work on in this game and decided the Paso Fino and hope to include my native Wild horse, the Brumby.

Ive been playing horse games for an exceptionally long time on and off, Sims3 pets breeding horses, Howrse, Horse World Online and Star Stable to name just a few.

Throughout my teens I owned two Arabians which i took around the show circut entering lead and riden comps. In my late 30's I decided to branch out and joined a small syndicate 1/20 part owner of a Thoroughbred, which was both exciting to be a part of and painfull on the wallet. lol

Being Aussie my fav breed would have to be Brumby, in saying that I am excited to be working on Paso Fino in an attempt to breed Paso Fino displaying Tiger Eye.

I live with 2 toy poodles both under 2, and going threw the pains of training but they make me laugh with their antics and find my life is very rewarding. A fun fact about me is im definatly too old to learn new tricks but keep trying to anyway. lol

This is fun!!

1) How long have you played horse games? 

I've been playing horse games since I first got started on PonyBox in probably like... 2007? So a long while! Eqcetera was the one that held the most of my attention the longest, and I'm sooo happy to be rekindling those feelings here on HoFa!

2) Do you have any pets?

Yes! I have 5 cats- Olive (a brown and white tabby girl), Greta (a big grey floofy girl- she's not long haired but she feels like one!), Jiji (our good luck black cat. She's soooo sweet), Hazel (a sassy tortie), and Lumi (our new grey bambino sphynx baby! I also have a crested gecko named Fern, and my husband has fish! :)

3) What do you do in your free time?

Besides sim games, I love gaming on my switch, reading (I'm OBSESSED with everything Sarah J Maas!!), crocheting, tending to my 80+ houseplants, and hanging out with my cats and hubby

4) Are you involved with horses in real life?

Not anymore sadly :( I miss it every day

5) What's your favorite horse breed?

Arabians will always have a special place in my heart, and I have always dreamed of owning an Irish Cob! 

6) What's a fun fact about you?

According to a cousin of my grandma's I am distantly related to Black Beard 🤔 I don't know how she knows that, but it's fun to throw around when someone asks for a random fact about me lol!

1) How long have you played horse games?

Oof. Since I was a preteen, I guess? For context, I'm in my mid twenties now, so easily over a decade. I started out with the original Star Stable Games, Horseland, and Howrse.

2) Do you have any pets?

Yes, I currently have a lovely little malinois × lab mix dog as well as three Quarter Horses. 

3) What do you do in your free time?

If I'm not playing some game, I'm often working on misc. projects or doing artwork of some sort. I work in a management position so not a lot of free time. 

4) Are you involved with horses in real life?

Yes, I have my three horses that I ride here and there, I use to start colts under saddle and compete in a variety of western / speed type events, but due to career moves and a baby on the way my horses are currently pampered pasture puffs. 

5) What's your favorite horse breed?

Quarter Horses and Paints, however I do enjoy Appaloosas and Arabians as well. 

6) What's a fun fact a

bout you?

I'm a twin 🤔

1) How long have you played horse games?

I have been playing horse games since the early 2000s. I think I started with Horseland and Howrse. The one that set the standard for me though was Equine-Ranch. It had realistic genetics, in-depth training, and gorgeous art. Since then I have dabbled in many horse games. The ones that I currently play are Horse Isle 3 and Star Stable Online.

2) Do you have any pets?

Yes! I have 2 cats in my house right now. The first is my orange tabby named Simba. We took him in when he was about 6 months old. He was meowing at our back door only a few months after our 20 year old cat, Patches, died suddenly. He is now 9 years old! My brother has a 6-7 month old grey tabby named Aoife (pronounced Eefa). We have had her since she was a tiny 2 month old. She is so precious and is adding some spice to Simba's life :)

3) What do you do in your free time?

I have been playing a MMORPG called Guild Wars 2 for about 8 years now! There are times where I take little breaks from it but I always end up returing. I also enjoy reading Star Wars novels and the fantasy genre in general.

4) Are you involved with horses in real life?

I wish! I went to horse camp during high school for 1 week, three summers in a row. I volunteered at a horse rescue few a couple months in high school but had to stop because my parents were growing tired of driving me for 1 hour each way. Current life just hasn't brought an opportunity to interact with horses in person.

5) What's your favorite horse breed?

The American Sugarbush Harlequin Draft Horse!! I used to adore Appaloosas until I discovered these big, spotty horses. I love the fact that they are very strict with their breed registry and focus on healthy horses not just loud patterns.

6) What's a fun fact about you?

I collect Breyer horse models! Since real horses have been out of my reach for most of my life, Breyer horses have been my horse fix :D
