Haha hello former TROTTers! (atleast all of those who are in this game from TROT). Here I am! For all those who don't know me, my name is Allie. I'm 19 years old (almost 20), and I'm from Texas. I have been in SIM games for so long its not even funny. However, I must admit, this is my first forum-style SIM game...hopefully I'll be able to get used to it. Anywho moving on...I'm currently studying Animal Science with an option in Production at Oklahoma State University-I want to live my dream of becoming a trainer someday, and I'm well on my way. In BITS I'm going to most likely be focusing on the stock breeds---since they are what I know best! I currently have an amazing boyfriend of just over 2 years---who goes to school in Texas--definately doing the whole long distance thing is not as hard as some say. Anywho, I'm going to quit jabbering and get to finding a boarding barn and horses to go with it! Talk to ya'll later!
~Allie

^_^ Hey Allie. As you know, I'm Evanthe. I do drafts and draft crosses her in BITS. I own the White Lotus Farm; White Lotus Feed & Supply and the Hydro Therapy Clinic. I don't think the URL for the clinic is up on the main site yet, so here is the link if you want a little looksie: www.freewebs.com/hydrotherapyclinic/index.htmThat link should work. Anywho, it's a pleasure to see you in the game and I hope you have loads of fun. |

lol. Yeah, I know... I still haven't completely decided; there are a few I'm completely on the fence about, but I hate having horses in more than one game at the same time. It was so easy for those who joined BITS after quitting TROT!  Whatever you decide, I know you'll bring in some real high quality stock. =) |

Post by illusory on Nov 2, 2006 7:34:29 GMT -5
Hooray, I am remembered!
I forgot to put what I was specializing in, although I'm sure you already know. ;-) Dressage & Show Jumpers, German warmblood breeds and Iberian/Baroque horses. One day I'll get out from Maya's hair, but I like her barn a lot. :-D

Well, I'm not from TROT, so I guess I should actually introduce myself. I'm Christie, and I'm pretty new to BITS myself. And I'm actually down at Texas A&M right now! ;D Sorry we had to beat y'all on your homecoming the other week hehe. Hopefully we can kick some OU butt this weekend though...sorry, got distracted. One of my best friends went up to OSU as a freshman this year, and she really loves it -- she's actually on the equestrian team up there. Whereabouts in Texas are you from? I'm from north of DFW myself. Anyways, nice to meet you! And nice to have a fellow Texan around  .Christie. |

Ahahaha... I'm a crazy eventer who has a multitde of unsound and otherwise troubled creatures and therefore can't ride, let alone event. Blah. Although I just got back from the barn and Nappy's legs looked verrry much better. I think I'm going to ride him tomorrow for the first time in a few weeks. Gr. He's being a total dipshit though, and Lisa's pretty pissed off at him. She's threatening to isolate him and cut his food lol. He thinks he's a stallion, so he's mounting his paddock-mate constantly, and when he's not doing that, he's defending his territory from the evil invading demon ponies on all sides. And gets pretty violent in the process... so yeah. lol. He's a bit... wild and crazed looking recently. And Byron now has abcesses in 3 of his feet and needs soaking every day. Which is lovely. And I miss my baby mare. =( She's the cutest one of all and I want to get her started, finally. Anyway, I'm rambling and my fingers still hurt. |

You're all crazy!!!!
My dad forbade me to event because of cross country. Though, I really really really want to do a hunter pace and just get the feeling of it; galloping across a field is completely amazing, and I've galloped a bit on trails (even flew over a teeny tiny stone "wall"!), but yeah, nothing like feeling like you're flying!
If Jerkface hadn't broken my heart I probably would have been able to go foxhunting with a friend of his, but bleh. I'll go across the pond and do it!

Hi Allie
I'm Jen and I also play in TROT, but I am quite new to it and not as active as I am in BITS. It's nice to meet you. I own Diamond Elite Farms, BITS Snaffle Bit Association, and soon ShowStoppin Equine Supply. I also run another open show circuit. I mainly focus on stockbreeds and a small number of thoroughbreds. I am also importing a new warmblood as well. Nice to meet you.

Post by candj on Nov 2, 2006 19:01:43 GMT -5
I started right after I started BITS, in September. I have only made a couple posts and haven't shown yet. I think I like the forum better. I have quarters and apps in TROT and still plan on showing after all the world stuff is done.

lol I left in August I think... did you leave after me, Kristin? I don't know... Yeah, at my old barn, I was scared to ride outside. The instructor really was not helpful at all and was acctually pretty mean sometimes. The place where we rode outside at my old barn wasn't fenced in, just wide open, and I always was scared of falling off and then my horse galloping away, never to be seen again lol. But thankfully I switched barns and found a nice eventing trainer, where we had a fenced-in property for me to learn the feel of cross-country. I then bought Freedom, where my choices were either: (a) Sell the crazy lunatic -- yeah right! I was waaay too determined; or (b) Learn to love galloping. And now I am completely addicted. It is the single most amazing thing in the world, to finish a cross-country course, even a little one, on a horse with a bold gallop and corageous jump. It's not even describable. You fly. Okay, well that was random. lol. And all the non-eventers are saying, "There she goes again, just another crazy eventer..." lol  That's right! |

No, I left way before August, Dana! I left after I had that huge fallout with Jilian about my horses getting sold from underneath me because she decided to change the date of some deadline. I was piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed. Ugh, if she joins this I think I just might have to quit I dislike her that much!
