Hey everyone, as you all know I'm a new member lol. I just got my approval  . Okie, my names Rachael, I live in good ol' Australia. I own 1 horse, but she is really old now so she's retired in the paddock. I don't compete in shows in real life so I'm not that great with discipline levels. I used to compete in endurance racing, on my uncles horse. But I feel off and broke my wrist and I haven't really ridden much since. Anyway I'm really looking forward to playing BITS and getting to know everyone  . As for my plans in BITS, I'm thinking I'm going to focus on Thoroughbreds and Swedish Warmbloods. There my two fav breeds. |

Hey Rachel, welcome to BITS! I'm Christie, owner of Simple Charms Equestrian Center, and general eventing fanatic ;D I focus on Thoroughbreds as well, along with Irish Sport Horses, so I'm glad to see you bringing more TBs into the game  My neigherbor competes in endurance races; my mom & I have gone on many a 'trail ride' (I don't really call them trail rides haha, they're so intense with her, cause she's training) with her & her arab mare. The 25 miles I could see, but the 100 mile races?! That just blows my mind a little haha! Anywho, welcome to BITS! .Christie. |

Hey, Rachael! I am glad to see you here! My name is Gwen and I am one of the admins. If you focus on TB's and Warmbloods, you will definitely be in good company here in BITS! They are both quite popular In RL, I own a paint horse and show in all-around, not so much anymore, though. I am a freshman at IU Bloomington majoring in Poli Sci. In BITS, I show mostly stock breeds and a select few TB mares and concentrate on paints. I own Show Me Halter and Performance Horses and am in charge of the BITS Stock Breed Registry and the BITS Breeders Trust. I am very happy to have you here - as I am sure we all are! |

Hey Rachael. The name is Evanthe and I own White Lotus Farm in BITS. We are a boarding barn and would love to have you. An add is posted on the advertisement board if you want to know more about us. We specialize in drafts and draft crosses, but we have many other breeds with us as well. I also own WLF Feed & Supply as well as the Hydro Therapy Center.
In RL I don't own a horse of my own. I'm aspiring though and when I get a job, that is what I'm saving up to get. I've already got $900 in my bank account as a head start(graduation money). It's a pleasure to have you in the game.

Thanks for the welcome everyone it's great to meet you all . Evanthe, when I create my horses I'll board with you. I haven't done a 100 mile race yet lol. But it looks like alot of fun. I've done the begginers races, nice and small . I'd like to go more serious with it, but then I would have to buy a new horse. And well I ain't that rich lol. |

Hey Rachael, welcome to BITS! I'm Kristin and I own Cellar Door Stables, a mini-barn on the Camelot Canada property. I specialize in Classical Dressage and Show Jumping, focusing on Warmbloods and Baroque horses and campaigning a few select breeds as well.
I'm the reigning Dressage Queen of the bunch, but I don't have that terrible attitude! In real life I ride dressage, and I am a riding instructor. I don't own a horse but I am planning on it in the new couple of years.
Welcome again, and enjoy!

Hey Rachel! I'm Rainbow, another of the admins. In the game, I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre. Our specialties are dressage, hunters, and stadium jumping, with a breed focus on Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods of various breeds, and Dales Ponies. =) In real life, I half-lease an Appendix QH gelding named Murray and ride dressage. (I'm the Dressage Princess lol.) I've also done hunters and will probably be showing in a few hunter shows this season as well.
Welcome to the game! =)

Same, and I forgot to mention I have a horse in real life, Peanut, who is a very good little girl (most of the time........;D) She's a grade QH mare, and hopefully we'll be showing in the open shows and 4-H this year (first year in 4-H i hope.. lol) I also figured out she likes jumping. It's like the first thing she does like after I figured out she's not to hot with western, but she loves the english stuff, especially her english copper bit, lol. So ya, that's about it for my horsy! O plus she's very fat |
