Hey everyone I just recently joined so I figured I should introduce myself so I can meet you guys. Anyways I'm Michelle. I have one horse of my own who I show in hunters and equitation. Hes a 10 year old 16.2 hand, chestnut quarter horse, but he is always mistaken for a thoroughbred or a hanoverian. I've tried some of the jumper stuff but I wasn't really into it. I'm in my second year of college, I just transfered schools this semester so I'm currently business undecided. In the game I would like to open a private stable to start off, and start out with warmbloods and maybe add in some more breeds as I get situated in the game. My main interests are hunter/jumper. I look forward to meeting everyone and getting more involved with the game

Welcome Michelle I dunno if you remember me but I'm Shelly from Gold Creek who owned Once in a Lifetime Stables. In BITS I'm restarting on a new project that very few people know about, until I'm happy with the horses I got... but I have eventers, racers, and steeplechasers. If you need any help with anything game related feel free to shoot me a message

Hey Michelle, welcome to the game! I'm Maya, obviously, and I own Camelot Canada and Pemberley Estates... I have mostly Thoroughbred racers and eventers, with a few Appaloosas and Quarter horses thrown into the mix. I hope you enjoy this game as much as all of us do, and feel free to jump right in and start entering/hosting shows

Welcome Michelle! I'm Elise and I own Alzi la Barra which focuses mainly on hunters and jumpers with a couple racers, dressage and event horses mixed in In real life I'm also a sophomore in college, photography major. I own a Latvian Warmblood gelding who I've done mostly dressage with but since recently joining the U.S. Pony Club we've started show jumping and eventing. I'm hoping to compete at Horse Shows by the Bay next year, an "A" or "AA" rated hunter/jumper show (I can't remember off the top of my head) in the low adult jumpers and specialize in Show Jumping once we get our C-3 rating through USPC. I currently have been hosting the HITS series which has had a lot of success; our Grand Prix has had over a dozen competitors at all of the shows. If you're interested, I would suggest checking out the BHRC for hunters and jumpers available for cheap adoption -- they have been consistently in the ribbons at the previous HITS shows I should be posting a new one within a couple weeks. I still have a set of results I need to get out before I'll post it. Unfortunately, these first couple weeks of semester have been pretty crazy and I haven't gotten much done. Hopefully it'll settle down into a routine soon and I'll be able to get those out more regularly. I can't wait to see your string of horses, hopefully you'll enjoy Bits as much as I have the two and a half years I've been here

Nice to meet everyone! All of your game interests seem like a lot of fun and I like having the variety with horses, and disciplines. Shelly I think I do remember you from back in the day! Elise the HITS series sounds great, I've been to culpeper a few times so it would be fun to have a show I personally know in the game.

It was a long time ago, I know that for sure! I joined when I was 13 (just turned 13 actually) and in another month I'll be 17. Wow...

Hey Michelle! Welcome to BITS. I'm Rainbow, another of the admins here.
In the game, I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre, a boarding stable which focuses mostly on hunters, jumpers, and dressage. As far as breeds go, I own mostly thoroughbreds and warmbloods, with some ponies mixed in.
In real life, I am a senior in high school (graduation day cannot come fast enough); I'm hoping to go to George Washington University and major in history, with a second major in either English or international relations. I don't own a horse of my own, sadly, but I'm currently lucky enough to half-lease a fabulous 11y/o 16.2hh Thoroughbred gelding named Chilly. I ride mostly dressage -- Chilly and I have been to two dressage shows in the two months I've been half-leasing him and will be going to a third in a week and a half -- but I have done a bit of (non-competitive) showjumping. I live in an area that's dominated by hunters, though, and ride at a primarily hunter barn.
This got a bit longer than intended, but anyways, welcome again! I hope you enjoy it here in BITS just as much as the rest of us do. If you have any questions, ask away; we're a friendly bunch and don't bite. Also, can't wait to see your horses and what shows you host!
