Hi

[tiffanymarie]

Hey everyone, my name is Tiffany and I am new to BITS. I'm 15 years old and live in Arizona. In real life I own two horses, a 17 year old bay Mustang gelding named Jake, and a registered 12 year old sorrel overo Paint gelding named Charlie (aka Leos Dream Bar). I also have a 2 year old fawn German Shepherd x Pitbull named Joey, and an 11 week old sable & white American Pitbull Terrier named Thor. Among them are 3 cats, ages 15 and two 4 year olds, a Bearded Dragon, and 7 hermit crabs. I'm home schooled so I pretty much sit on the computer all day without a life XD I've been playing sim games for about 7 years now. I strongly oppose breed specific legislation, considering the fact American Pitbull Terriers and "pit bull types" are statistically way less dangerous than any Labrador, Cocker Spaniel, or Golden Retreiver and make the best family dogs. Well, I guess that's all about me.. ;D

Edit: I figure since I saw other posts with their horses pics, I'll add pictures of Jake & Charlie ^^

Jake



(Jake and I his first day here - he came from a ranch in Minnesota hence the amazingly big winter coat.. Oh, he is only 14.3h I am just really short lol)
Charlie




And here are some horses I have previously owned..
Elvis - my first horse. Gorgeous 24 year old Quarab gelding. He was an abused ex ranch horse, but was the sweetest horse you ever met. In the short two years I owned him, he gave me so much love.. Unfortunatly he was taken away by a pretend-I-know-it-all vet who killed him by accident. I'll never forgive her. I've been searching for a replacement and I've been thru many horses [the ones listed under this and the ones I currently have] and I can't find one, he was one in a million. R.I.P Elvis 1976-2002.


Honeybea Tardy - EVIL QH mare. Never again will I own a mare. 14.1 hands not even 1,000 lbs - sedated she ripped off a steel barn door. She was psycho.. although rather pretty, being a chocolate palomino. (sorry for bad pic quality)


Gunner - 4 year old little palomino. We sold him due to not having enough time to ride and he needed to be ridden being so young.

Hey Tiffany! I'm Rainbow, one of the admins here in BITS. Welcome to the game! =)

I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre, specialising in dressage, stadium-jumping, and hunters. We have mostly Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods of various breeds, and Dales Ponies. However, we welcome anyone interested in english disciplines.

I, too, was homeschooled - but only for third grade lol. =) Anyways, that's so cool that you have so many animals. I half-lease an Appendix QH gelding, Murray, who I do dressage with. My family has two dogs (a black Lab and a Standard Schnauzer) and two cats (a random mixed breed and a Tonkinese - cross between a Siamese and a Burmese, but she looks more like a Siamese with slightly longer fur), as well as two gerbils and a crayfish... We used to have fish, but my brother managed to kill them. =|

My trainer's mum owns a Rottweiler cross (crossed with something else that makes you think 'dangerous dog') and Bastian is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. He loves *everyone* lol. If he meets someone he doesn't like, I wouldn't be ready to trust that person. Anyways, it's really all in how the dog (or whatever) is brought up - any dog brought up with a loving, well-adjusted family and provided with good training will be loving and well-behaved themselves. =)

[Christie]

Hey Tiffany, welcome to BITS! I'm Christie; I own the mini-barn Simple Charms Equestrian Center, and I specialize in eventing & Irish Sport Horses here in BITS. Sorry, I don't have as much to say hehe...I'm feeling like a nap ;D Anywho, welcome to BITS!

Welcome to BITS, Tiffany I am Gwen and I got to Indiana University Bloomington. I own two paints - a 15 yo mare and a weanling colt, Panama. In BITS I show paint horses predominantly, but also other stock breeds. I own Show Me Halter and Performance Horses, the BITS Stock Breed Registry, and the BITS Breeders Trust.

I wish people here would take pride in breeding dogs correctly, Tiffany. It's all about dog fighting where we live. It makes me sick

[tiffanymarie]

Thanks everyone
I plan on breeding Appaloosas on this game, in western disciplines.
If anyone has any tips for me for starting off, it'd be very appreciated.

[evanthe]

Hello. My name is Evanthe and I own White Lotus Farm, White Lotus Feed & Supply, as well as the Hydro Therapy Center. If you need a place to board(shameless plug) check out our add on the advertisement board ^_^. We take any breed of horse that competes in the disciplanes that are listed. White Lotus Farm itself is home to drafts and draft crosses as well as a few other breeds.

I come from the same town Gwen does and it is true that our town is notorious with dog fights. There are pitbulls everywhere. Our law inforcers are lazy as well, so really nothing is done about it. However, I own a little mutt. Her name is Ginger and she is a beagle, border collie, golden retriever mix.....she's kind of a dunce(not to smart). I also have two cats, the eldest being 11 and the youngest being 2(both mix breeds, one black with minimal white and one grey tabby with white markings on his paws face and belly). I also have 4 goldfish of various breeds and 4 rats, two standard rats(the eldest being black with white, youngest being dark fawn and white) and two rex dumbo rats(twins, one is albino the other has albino traits, though she has an extremely light fawn blanket.) I'm an animal freak and I wish I had a horse. I had leases a saddlebred for 4-h one year and had done horseless horse with Gwen's horse Cash the very first year I was in 4-h. So, it's not like I haven't had a great deal of experience.

It's nice to meet you. I understand that the little dog in your avatar is your puppy? Oh, and Maya has an appy or two for sale on the sales board. You can go look there.

[allie]

Hey Tiffany! I'm Allie. I'm fairly new to BITS myself...I've been here a little longer than a month. I also am into the stock breeds so I'm sure we will be competeting against eachother some! I can't wait to see what horses you decide to come up with...I'm sure they will be amazing!

[tiffanymarie]

Thanks Allie & Evanthe

Yes, that is my puppy in my avatar, Evanthe. xD

[Gwen]

Your Puppy is adorable, by the way! Cute cute cute :-D Also, if you are looking for a place to board, SMHP is dedicated to stock horses and we would LOVE to have your apps. I am glad SOMEONE is bringing in appies! We need more.

[tiffanymarie]

I was actually just looking at your stable lol. I plan on boarding there once Maya replies to my forms. ^^
Appies are my favorite breed <3 I breed them on another game I play aswell. I wish they were as popular as QH's and Paints.

[casey]

Hey Tiffany, I'm Casey, and in BITS, I focus on hunters/jumpers and some dressage. I am going to be opening my mini-barn Cherry Tree Stables very soon (hopefully).

In real life, I hide hunter/jumper/eq, and have a pony named Keeper. I have picture of him somewhere on the intro boards.

But, anyway, I'm so glad we're getting so many new people to BITS. It should make the game so exciting.

[tiffanymarie]

Aw, your pony is gorgeous Casey XD
I love grullas.. and paints lol.

[casey]

Thanks! He's quite a character! Oh God... I'm starting to sound like my aunt.

[Maya]

Wow I'm slow I'm Maya, the final admin =) I also have many creatures, at my parents' house... About 10 cats, 4 horses, and I believe there will be a puppy soon Here, I have 1 kitty and 1 horse You can read aaalll about them in my intro post at the bottom of the board =)
I have mainly Eventers & Racehorses... but a few other things as well.

Your puppies are ADORABLE! I've always liked Pit Bulls, but I can't get one because of all the new laws in Toronto... I can't afford all the requirements and paperwork you have to go through to own one legally. =( They're wonderful dogs. =)

lol my boyfriend would LOVE to have a bearded dragon... he's a reptile fiend.

I probably won't get your horses up in the MHR until next week, so you can go ahead and start doing stuff without the numbers for now =)

[candj]

Hey Tiffany

You and me need ta talk lol. Apps are my true RL passion, I have never owned a different breed. Thank you for your kind words about my mare. I own Diamond Elite Farms and I specialize in stockbreed horses: mainly apps and I have also expanded into racing, eventing, showjumping, and dressage. Good to meet you and be sure to give horsey updates once you create a few.

[red]

Hey Tiffany I'm Red welcome to BITS . I'm new here to I've only been here for a week or two. Your horses and dogs are gorgeous. I hope you enjoy your time here

[Rainbow]

I love your horse pics; so cute! And I'm sorry about Elvis... some people really should not work with animals of any kind.

[illusory]

Welcome to BITS, Tiffany! I'm Kristin, the resident Dressage Queen of the bunch (Rainbow is the princess, haha!). I board with Maya and focus on German warmbloods, Iberian, and Baroque Horses that are classical dressage horses and show jumpers. I am also beginning to gather a racing string together.

Once I have some more time I'll be making and opening my minibarn, which is in my signature. It comes from Donnie Darko. Btw, I LOVE your hair in the picture with Jake; I am obsessed with dyeing my hair and right now it's a blue black (but it needs a touch-up, damn roots). Anyway, welcome to the game, there's certainly a LOT of western-oriented horses and people, but we all get along which rocks. Have fun!

[dana]

Hi, welcome to BITS! I'm Dana, owner of Horizon Equestrian Center and the brand-new BITS Sport Horse Association I specialize in eventing, and own a vew other sport horses as well In real life, I own a Paint/TB cross named Freedom (but really, the only thing 'paint' about him is his color, everything else is completely thoroughbred!), and we compete in eventing. There's a picture of us somewhere around here, lol. And as long as were talking dogs... I've never met a pitbull I didn't love I own a big, white, fluffy, Samoyed. Anyways, welcome to BITS!! ;D

[dana]

[tiffanymarie]

Thanks everyone
It's nice to finally see a SIM game with such nice members.

[Nicole]

Man am I slow =P Anyways I'm Nicole and I own the new mini-barn Maple Ridge Stables, I'm mostly for Arabians, Thoroughbreds, and Anglo-Arabs, plus some Rocky Mountain trail horses. I just started about a month and a half ago, so I'm pretty new too, I love all your pics! =D I have a grade QH mare in real life thats pretty fat right now, and fuzzy! =) Welcome to BITS, and hope you have fun! =D

[casey]

Aww, I just saw your pictures, and I love them! I love Charlie's eyes. My pony has blue eyes too! Its so cute.

[Gwen]

Yes, VERY pretty horses!

[dana]

I just read that little blurb about Elvis and that is so terrible. I wouldn't forgive that vet either. But maybe you'll find what you're looking for in Frosty?

[janena]

Sorry to hear about Elvis

Welcome to BITS btw My name is Janena but you can call me Nena I am pretty new to BITS myself... but not new to the admins and some of these members. They don't bite... or... maybe they just haven't bit me cus I bite back? Hmmm... *thinks* jk everybody here is very friendly In BITS I board at Maya's Barn which has a new name everyday so... lol and I concentrate on stock horses (mostly paints) and I have one lone racehorse

[Rainbow]
