Hey all, 

I've been playing horse sim games since I was able to find them on my own online (probably like 20 years now), I am rapidly approaching 30. I have played:

AVH

Horse Tycoon - horsetycoon was shut down in 2015ish - my Username was “Pinkpony”- if any of you remember me from there, reach out please! I have also played the Dutch version ran by the same Dev team, but due to my inability to buckle down and focus on learning Dutch it severely limited my abilities. 

Cabellos (I think that was the name) 

There were many other inactive games but generally my usernames used to be a variation of  “Pinkpony” or “pinkpony97” if we were friends back in the day or you remember me, shoot me a DM!

Honestly, I fell in love with horsetycoon because it was my first virtual horse sim even though it lacked the graphics and sophistication of other games. It was an international game and it exposed me to many different elements, ideas, and cultures, but I also liked the slowness of the game and the forum interaction and elements, compared to it's competitors.

 I tried to bring it back in 2014, but unfortunately it didn't work out, the game was too far gone at that point and the devs did not have the financing or time to keep up with it as well as the more rapid paced extremely active Dutch version. I understand why it shut down seeing how far virtual horse games have come in the past decade but I do still miss it and the community that was there. I kind of grew up there and it makes me miss simpler times. 

I had started out with CDRom computer games (like the similarly named Horse and Pony Tycoon which I actually bought a CDrom of it on Amazon but my computers are literally too new to play it) that involved horses before hand and that really launched my interest in browser games once I was able to type “horse game” in a search bar.
