Hi everyone how's it going? I'm Smurf . Well my real name is Jessie, but smurf is my nickname that everyone calls me. It's stuck with me since I was a kid lol. Some might be wondering why I'm called smurf lol. It's cos I'm short lol. I'm very very short lol . And when I nickname sticks to you for so long ya just kind of get use to it. Anyway enough about my name, I'm from australia and currently don't own any horses. Kinda sucks but I look after other peoples horses for them. So I don't really feel horseless. I get to ride and show there horses, so it's really like having my own . Now for what I'm going to have in BITS. I'm shocking at making up my mind lol, it's so hard to choose. See I love appaloosa's and western events, but I love dressage and jumping also. Oh and then there is my love for racing lol . I worked at a thoroughbred racing stable when I was 16, it was a great experiance and I learnt heaps. So it may take me awhile to decide what I want to do. But then I might end up with a hand in everything lol. I hope that's ok. BITS looks like a great game, and I hope I fit in ok . I know I can ramble on alot lol. I look forward to meeting you all. I'm off to look around the place lol

Hey, Smurf! Welcome to BITS! My name is Gwen and I am an admin here! I am also as short as they come at 5' and .5''. I don't know what that is in metric, though, so it is probably all gibberish to you. I own Show Me Halter and Performance Horses and the BITS Stock Breed Registry. Our farm shows mainly stock breeds, Thoroughbreds that do hunters, jumpers, and dressage, and we have a select couple of racehorses, too.
In RL, I have two horses - both paints. If our barn manager doesn't make up his mind to sell my current weanling, there will be another come may (hopefully a girl) since Cash is preggers. I haven't seen her in two months, however, as I am away at Indiana University studying, so I miss her.
Anyways, welcome to BITS! I think you will really enjoy it!

Thanks for the welcome everyone . That's really cool that your mare is pregnant Gwen . It's great watching foals grow up and learn. My friend had a foal a few years ago, I got to help with it. I was so sad when they sold it.

Oh... I love my baby Panama, but I would like to get him sold! Randy keeps acting like he wants to sell him and then turning around and not making any effort to get him sold! LOL! I think he is going to geld him and keep him. He'd be an awesome show horse for Randy's daughter in a couple of years. I wouldn't mind having Panama around, but I just want to know what is going on so that I don't get attatched or can just move on. I remember when they sold one of my favorite foals a few years ago and it left me heartbroken. I guess the fact that Panama is mine to play with, but not technically mine financially keeps me at a safe distance. And no... I am NOT breaking him.

Hey Smurf (Jessie?)! I'm Rainbow, the final admin. =) Like you, I don't own a horse of my own, but I do half-lease and I spend a huge section of my time out at the barn! Speaking of, I"m going to have to cut this short because I ride tonight lol. =) Soooo if you want to read more about me, my intro post is at the bottom of the board somewhere lol. I look forward to getting to know you and your horses, no matter what you get into (I've got dressage horses, hunters, jumpers, and a couple racers and Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and Dales ponies mostly, so it's perfectly alright to get into more than one thing lol!). =)

Hey Smurf its great that you joined BITS. It really is a wonderful equine community so if you want to make some really good friends, stick around! I'm Jen and I run the BITS Snaffle Bit Association. I am close to opening a mini barn and I am also starting up a tack shop soon (and hopefully in the furture, and Appaloosa Association). I too have always loved apps and thats all I've ever owned. I have one app mare that has been so wonderful to me this past year, she was born and raised a big time show horse and I bought her last year after she'd been off a few years. I hope to breed her to a nice either AQHA or app stud. Anyway, I ramble too so you should fit right in. Welcome!
