Hi Everyone, My name is Samira and I'm 30 and I'm from The Lake District which is in the North West of England. I haven't any horses at the moment but I use to work at a trekking centre (before they decided to sell up) and I use to own a dapple grey Welsh Mountain Pony (Sec A) named Pepper when I was little. In BITS I will be focusing mainly on Flat Racing and National Hunt Racing (Steeplechasing). It is great to be here and I can't wait to start playing. Its nice to meet you all

Hi Samira, welcome to Bits! I'm Elise and I own Alzi la Barra which focuses on hunters and jumpers. In real life, I'm finishing up my freshman year of college and I am starting eventing and show jumping this summer, but have done primarily dressage in the past. Mmmm... other than that, I'm a photography major and love to play tennis. I can't wait to see what horses you bring to Bits! There are currently some really nice flat racers in the BHRC if you're interested in taking a look See you around!

Hey Samira! I'm Rainbow, one of the admins here in the game.
I'm from the States, but I'm currently studying abroad England -- Telford (east of Shrewsbury, northwest of Birmingham -- not the loveliest of towns, but I'm seeing as much of the country as I can and fulfilling a lifelong dream in being here). I'd LOVE to get to the Lake District before I leave. I may have to pick your brain for the best things to see in the Lake District, if you don't mind. =)
In BITS, I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre, which focuses on hunters, jumpers, and dressage. Shelly will be happy to see another person interested in steeplechasing, and the flatracing scene is pretty big here. =)
In real life, I rode mostly dressage in the States on a lovely Thoroughbred gelding, Xavier. Here in the UK, I'm learning about showjumping on an Irish Cob gelding, Finn.

Hey, Samira! I'm Gwen and I am another one of the admins on here. Like Rainbow, I am currently studying abroad in the UK, but in Canterbury. So, a ways away. Still, in the UK, and I have a boyfriend here (also an international student) and will probably be coming back in a year to start my PhD here.
You won't have any trouble finding people who do flat racing here, but hunt racing would be something different. I think you will genuninely enjoy it. In the game, I own Show Me Halter and Performance Horses and focus mainly on stock breeds, but we have some sporthorses (some which are for sale right now), so check out our sales if you are interested!

Hey welcome to BITS! My name is Kate and I own Rising Star Farms. It started off as a farm dedicated to racehorses, but has expanded to include some eventing horses, dressage horses, western horses and babies. Anyway, we offer boarding so if stop by if you want and check it out I do both kinds of racing here on BITS. Flat racing is more in at the moment. Steeplechasing is getting there, but there arent as many people. Anywho, hope you see you at the track!
