Hello Everyone!

[rita]

Heya BITS,
My name is Rita and I'm coming to you all from TROT. TROT went on hiatus just recently (it was my first sim game) and I couldn't stop simming. So, I picked up and moved here. In BITS, my goals will be the same as they were in TROT. I will be focusing strictly on Thoroughbreds and Stock Horse breeds (Paints, Quarter Horses and Appaloosas), and, mostly the racing aspect of these breeds. (Is stock racing big here?)
I'll be bringing my TROT horses with me, and I'll be doing a formal intro to them very very shortly.

Anyway, I'm gonna jet and finish reading the forum to get caught up.

Thanks,
Rita

Yay, good to see you!
I know things are in a bit of a flux right now, so don't hesitate to ask if you get confused or stuck on anything.
Stock racing isn't very big right now... I know Shelly has one or two, and she'd love some competition. TB racing is pretty big -- we're a bit behind on results right now, but I'm hoping to get caught up fairly soon.
Feel free to just jump in a start entering any shows/races that aren't closed, or holding your own. If you need the format to do the results spreadsheets, just let me know.

Welcome to BITS, My name is Cindy and I am the proud owner of Thunder Ridge Stables, and the BDA. I can't wait to see the horses you bring in to the game if you need a place to board until you get started your horses are more than welcome.

Welcome to BITS Rita! I'm Nicole, I own Hayes End Stud, where I have my Arabians, a few Welsh Ponies, and then several others :] I also own the on-hiatus Arabian Horse Association, and the Rescue Center, which has tons of stock horses and TBs if you are in need of any :] The Sport Horse Association is in my ownership as well, but it hasn't had a show in quite a while. Hopefully I can get that up and running in the future :] Welcome again to BITS!

Hey hey! I'm Rainbow, another of the admins -- you'll recognize me from TROT. It's good to see you here in BITS! As Maya said, things are a bit slow right now because both Gwen and I are studying in the UK and have thus had to take some time away from the game, along with other people being busy, etc.

In the game, I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre and the currently-on-hiatus BITS Hunter/Jumper Association.

Hope you enjoy it here. =)

Hiya Rita,

I am Shelly I own Champion's Bid Ranch and I focus on nothing. I have halter horses, racehorses, cow horses, pleasure horses, sporthorses, warmbloods... everything. I love horses too much to specialize

I would LOVE to see someone pick up stock racing. I have one named Western Dash, who is based off of SM Country Snowman. Meep. He's my hero in Paint racing Anyways, if you're going to get into flat racing, especially with Stock horses, that'd be awesome!

Welcome to BITS!

Hi Rita! I apologize that I'm so late, I went home this weekend to help a friend at Regional Championships for Dressage and missed this post!! But welcome all the same

If you didn't already see, I'm Elise I own Devonshire Estates and we focus on Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods with a couple stock breeds mixed in for fun!

I too would love to see some more stock racing, we talked a little about it a while back, but it never really got started

Again, Welcome

[Gwen]

Hey, Rita! I see i got the things for the BSBR, which is awesome. I really am excited to see more stock breed people. I own Show Me Halter and Performance Horses, which is dedicated to mainly paints, quarter horses, and appendixes. I also own La Belle Etoile Sporthorses, which is dedicated to the promotion of sport horses in competition. Right now, as Rainbow said, I am in the UK studying for a year. It's kind of crazy, but getting better!

Thanks everyone for the great welcome! Now that I'm back from vacation I'll be diving in head first, and you can expect me to be super active! ;D

Thanks,
Rita

Yay! The new BSA meet should be up soon, as soon as I got the result info from the website. Glad to see more 'chasers out and about!
