Heyy ;D As you guessed, my name is Ritzy. I am a 15 year old from England and have been playing sim games from the time i can remember. it was only in the middle of 2007 that i became intrigued by non-automated sims; and i've been apart of many. i have been a dedicated and helpful member throughout all my sim experiences, and many of the times, get ranked up as mod for my commitment; even making it as an assistant administrator on one. but sometimes, we need a little refreshment On BITS, i'm hoping to start a complete fresh. normally on sim games, i tend to stick to one breed and many disciplines. so now i want to have a varied breed stock and one or two disciplines. i hope to get some great Thoroughbreds going and start them off at the racetrack. also, a varied amount of Warmblood types in eventing. when the Thoroughbreds retire from racing, they'll join the Warmbloods in eventing anywho, enough of my rambling if you have any advice for a newbie, let me know. much appreciated ^^

Hey! Welcome to the game. I'm Rainbow, one of the admins here. =) I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre and the Hunter/Jumper Association here in the game. I primarily focus on Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and ponies competing in dressage, hunters, and showjumping. In real life, I am a dressage rider. I half-lease a 20y/o Thoroughbred gelding (he's an ex event horse) named Xavier. We just had our first dressage show of the season (and my first dressage show on him) on Sunday. =) He's a total sweetheart and I plan to post pics from the show very soon. In the past, I've ridden hunters as well. Dressage is my main thing, though. Where in England are you? I am coming over to somewhere in the UK next year as an exchange student. I'm not sure where, yet, but I am super excited because I love everything about the UK lol, always have. =) Anyways, welcome again! If you have any questions, feel free to ask -- we're a friendly bunch here. Hopefully you enjoy your stay in our game. =)

Hey Ritzy! Welcome to Bits! I'm Elise and I own Cornerstone Farms. I focus on sport horses in dressage, jumper, eventing, ect We have a couple Thoroughbreds and some stock horses as well. In real life I ride Dressage and a bit of hunters with Atlas, my 11y/o Latvian Warmblood gelding who I've owned for 3 1/2 years. He is also an ex-eventer and I love him to pieces. We miiight start eventing through Pony Club this summer, but I'm not sure, I'm kind of chicken. I would LOVE to go to England, I am hoping maybe during one of my summer breaks from College I will be able to afford a trip:) I'm glad to see a new face around, and as Rainbow said, if you need anything or have any questions, PM one of us:D Enjoy!

Hi! Im Shelly, a member of a year plus in BITS. I own Champion's Bid Ranch, a small private farm that has about 30-35 horses constantly. We finally managed to get our numbers down to about 30-35 and Im good with that. I have stock, sporthorses/warmbloods, Thoroughbreds... nearly everything. I sold off my ponies but I should see about getting them back because they havent been shown in a million plus years...
ok ok the real me loves stock horses, racing, and reining. An odd combo, huh? I also love making websites but I rarely make stable websites because they're a pain for my to update. So I go with forums. Im a very dedicated writer, also.

Lol Ritzy, the dressage show was really good. There's a post on the discussion board. I will post pics eventually, probably this weekend. I have a huuuge test coming up on Friday that I am currently studying my butt off for... (DIE, AP TESTS, DIE!) I should be studying now, actually. After that, though, life will be much more relaxed lol.

Hey Ritzy, welcome to BITS! I'm Christie, one of the eventing fanatics here, and owner of Simple Charms Equestrian Center, among other establishments. I've been gone on a bit of a hiatus recently, thanks to killer finals, but summer's started now so I'm catching up around here Glad to see more event horses coming in to the game, the more the merrier! Nice to meet you, see you around!

Welcome to BITS Ritzy!
I'm Nicole, and I have Lorey Lane Farms which is almost completely Arabians plus their crosses. In RL I own a banged up little Quarter Pony that has an attitude but can also have more patience than a toy ^_^ I also ride Arabians for my trainer Bobby, but right now that's on hold as my horse Deedee lamed herself and is out for about a week =P
Anyways, can't wait to see what you bring to the game!

Welcome to BITS Ritzy I'm Cindy, I am the owner of Thunder Ridge Stables, we mostly have eventers and racers but have a few other disciplines in the mix also. In real life I have two mini's that I show with. Can't wait to see your horses in the showring, and let me know if you need any where to board too.
