Hey there! I'm Aubrey. Some of you may know me by my actual name, Mallory. Doesn't matter what you call me, though. Anyways, I'm 18 years old and hail from Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada (eh?). I have three horses, all standardbreds; two are at the track, and one is a No Nukes broodmare currently in foal to Mach Three here at home (she's due in May!). Anyways, in BITS I have decided to start off with a small arabian string. I am also planning on starting up the Arabian Horse Association of BITS. Expect to see big things soon! I have put through for approval an import, my stallion Riley Poole, an international champion in halter and performance as well as a sire of champions. I will also be bringing in a few of my younger, promising horses with hopes to establish a great arabian breeding program here. I can't wait to get started!

Hey Aubrey, welcome to Bits! I'm Elise, and I own Devonshire Estate which focuses mostly on sport horses. What kind of Arabians are you going to focus on? I have a Polish gelding in real life named Joker and I love him to death <3 I can't wait to see the horses that you're bringing in, Riley Poole sounds like a fantastic stallion

I would talk to our residental Arabian master, Nicole, about the Arabian Horse Association, as we had one for a short while. Maybe you two could work something out? I'm Shelly, owner of Equus Me. I own three branches: Champion's Bid Ranch, for my stock horses, Foxtail Sporthorses, my sporthorses, and Hill Point Estate, home of my racehorses. We offer boarding at all three divisions, if you are interested In real life, I ride western. I don't own my own horses though... Welcome to BITS

Welcome to BITS! I think I've played in a game with you before, I just don't remember what it was. Anyway I'm Sydney owner of Landroval Farms, it's nothing exciting. I have Paint/QHs and Thoroughbreds. It's so funny I was just talking to Kate on IM and mentioned to her that I wanted to get some Arabs later on in the game, not realizing that we were going to have a new member that's an Arab fan. In RL I'm helping train a Arab mare(well 3/4 arab 1/4 saddlebred). Her name is BeauK of Stars, I believe her sire was Beau Bey and her dam CR Star Afire. Her dam was a semi champion in California. She's been bred to Afire Bey 3 times, and they produce some great trotting babies together. We have 2 right now, her first one died of Hepititus. Her filly is 3 and is showing great potiential, and her colt is almost a year. Welcome to the game again. Can't wait to see what you will be doing in the Arab showing ring . Now I really want Arabs, lol.

Hey hey, fellow Canadian! I just moved back to Toronto after being in Peterborough at school for the past 4 years. Are your ponies at Woodbine? Kawartha Downs? Anyway, I'm Maya -- you might remember me from ISG I'm 21, a freelance web developer, and I have 4 horses that I don't have time to ride anymore because I work so much. Bah. I'm glad to see some more Arabs coming into the game! Hopefully we'll get an active Arab association up and running soon so I can import my guys from All-Sim Welcome to BITS, I hope you enjoy it as much as all of us do! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or get me on MSN/AIM (indiza at hotmail dot com / evilinmycloset28).

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I don't plan on specializing on a specific type or strand of arabians - however a lot of mine are Polish/Egyptian bred. My focus mainly lies on producing beautifully-bred halter quality horses who also excel in performance. Yay! And whoot for a fellow Canadian. My racing ones are at Rideau Carleton right now - and as I check with the trainer, they haven't been raced yet. One is a three year old filly called Rockys Girl (named after my neighbor, who I own the horses with), the other a two year old named Artizzle. And my mare at home is Mystical Maiden. I would race at Woodbine/Kawartha/Mohawk but that circuit is REALLY expensive. There's some nice stakes and stuff out at Rideau that our guys seem to do well in. XD Should mention too that I'm an amateur designer/programmer. Suck at the programming aspect though. LOL.

Ok, formal greeting now! xD I'm the Arabian girl I suppose, and I did have an Arabian Association... I think I closed it because I was the person with almost all the Arabs lol x] But hey, if you and Sydney want Arabs, I'm looking to disperse some, just to spread the love around I might also be interested in co-owning an Arab Horse Association, if you'd like of course! I own Hayes End Stud, where my Arab sporthorses and Ponies are, and then the Horse Rescue, which actually has a pair of very nicee dressage Arabs (if you're looking for some haha ) and then the BITS Sporthorse Association, which I need to get another show out for. Welcome to BITS, it's the game I've been in the longest, and enjoy the most, I think you'll really like it Welcome again!! edit: I have a few stalls open at HES, in case you were interested and needed somewhere to go before you opened your own stable

Hey! I'm Rainbow, another of the admins here. My laptop power is going to die in about a minute, but to briefly introduce myself: I'm owner of Wildwind Equestrian Centre and run hunter/jumper and dressage shows here in the game. My focuses are Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods for hunters, jumpers, and dressage. In real life, I am from west of Chicago, Illinois, USA, but I'm currently living in the UK. I ride dressage and in the States I half-leased a 20y/o Thoroughbred gelding named Xavier. Here in the UK, I'm riding assorted Welsh Cobs and draft crosses and also learning how to jump. I'm a student. And that's about all there is to me.

Hey there! My name is Gwen and I am one of the admins on here! It's nice to meet you. Like Rainbow, I am studying in the UK. I'm a Jr. in college and going to be graduating next year to hopefully go on to a PhD, so things are pretty crazy. In RL, I study political science and ride horses on the side.
I used to own and show paint horses, but since leaving the country and realizing I will probably leave the country again once I graduate, I sold them. So, I will get horses again another day.
In the game I own Show Me Halter and Performance Horses and own the BITS Stock breed Registry! There are gonna be a lot of people happy to see you since you are on an arabian kick! haha.
Welcome, though. I hope you have a great time!
