Hey everyone, I'm the new girl  . Ok my intro.. I always find them hard to do, cause I never want to say to much and bore everyone lol. Anyway here goes.. Well my names Phoenix. I know the weirdest name huh. I bet your all thinking it's just a SIM name. It's not lol, my parents really called me Phoenix. My parents are tree hugging hippys if you will, they can be quite embarrasing. But there not all bad lol. I just wish they had have thought of another name for me. People always look at me wierd, when I say my names Phoenix. Anyway back on track, I live in Australia and ride occasionally on a friends horse. I did own my own horse, but it became hard when life started to get to busy. As for my horse experiance, I've dabbled a little in everything lol  . I've done barrel racing, although I stopped that fast. I've done a little bit of dressage, but I prefer to watch dressage. And I've done some cross country, I found that to be exciting. Oh and for awhile I was training and showing shetlands. Alot of people don't much like shetlands, but I think there gorgeous and there great fun to show. Now for what I intend to do in BITS.... One of my fav breeds of horse is the Andalusion. I just love how elegant they are. And I also love Trakehners. So I've decided I'm going to focus on Andalusions and Trakehners. Andalusions aren't usually very popular, and I usually end up being the only one with them lol. Does anyone else have Andalusions? Anyway, I'm hoping later on to breed Andalusion x Trakehner foals. They make a really nice cross, and excel in eventing. My friends Uncle had a AndalusianxTrakehner gelding, and he was absoloutely gorgeous. Just flew over the jumps. It doesn't sound like the best cross, as people mostly cross breeds with thoroughbreds. But it makes for a nice sport horse. Ok well my intro ended up being a long one lol, sorry. But hopefully it helped everyone get to know me a little better. Well I look forward to meeting everyone else, and hopefully I fit in here at BITS. Phoenix. |

Hey Phoenix, welcome to BITS! ;D I'm not gonna lie, I chuckled a bit when you mentioned your parents were tree-hugging hippies  But hey, at least on the bright side, your name is original & different enough you don't have to worry about being confused with other people, etc -- at my high school, in my 100 person class alone, there were three other Christie's, all spelling it various ways  I've never seen an Andy/Trakehner cross, but I have seen an Andalusion crossed with a TB, and he was absolutely gorgeous. It certainly helps to have that bit of Baroque during dressage, ehh?  Ohh, by the way, I'm Christie haha ;D I own Simple Charms Equestrian Center, as well as a few other establishments, and I specialize in Irish Sport Horses for eventing -- so if you're planning on doing eventing, you will most definatly be in good company Anywho, welcome to BITS! ;D |

Hey, I'm Maya, one of the admins and owner of Camelot Enterprises! You can read more about me in my intro post... it's the very last one on the bottom of this board. I have a Shetland Pony in RL, and he's absolutely the cutest thing ever ...there are pics of him and all my other horses in the aforementioned intro post, if you'd care to take a look. I have some Andalusians in the other game I play, as well as tons of Trakehners... I've been debating for a while whether or not I should import some into BITS, but have been holding off as there aren't very many yet. Actually, one of my other horses in RL is a Trakehner, and he's such an awesome boy, even in his retirement. He was still competing at horsetrials when he was 23, and was still going Training level at 21! Whooo... I'm totally rambling. Sorry, I just woke up I'll shut up now. |

Hey, Pheonix. I feel for you in the name department. Gwendolyn is not a normal name! LOL. But whatev, welcome to BITS! I am also one of the admins here and I own and breed stock horses. In RL I own two paints, whom I rarely see. I am away at school at Indiana University Bloomington, so my home is far too north to go home to very often  In BITS, I own many, many stock horses and a great little barn called Show Me Halter and Performance horses. |

Hey there Pheonix. Despite what other people say(no one on this board), I love you name! It's unique and I would kill to have it, lol. Try having a name that was popular around 1987-88. My name is everywhere, from random TV shows to random movies. Not to mention everyone likes to forget a letter when they spell it. Evanthe is a SIM name I use to protect identity. Although, I doubt anyone here is a crazt stalker, lol.
anywho, I own White Lotus Farm and concentrate on drafts and daft crosses(points to signiture and av), as well as a select few other breeds(mostly used for crossing in the future). I also own WLF Feed & Supply as well as the Hydro Therapy center. It's a pleasure to have you here.

Hey Phoenix. Welcome to BITS! I'm Rainbow (that IS a sim name, but I too have a fairly uncommon name), the final admin of the game. I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre, specialising in Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and Dales Ponies, with a discipline focus on dressage, hunters, and stadium jumping. =) In real life, I half-lease an Appendix QH gelding, Murray, and we do dressage.
If you want to read more about me, my (slightly outdated) intro post is at the bottom of the board somewhere. =) Again, welcome to the game! Hopefully you enjoy it.

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome everyone . It's great to meet you all. I have to agree with you's, my name is unique lol. And atleast people will always remember it . Oh Christie most people laugh when I say my parents are "tree hugging hippies" lol. It's the best way to describe them, although if you saw them, you would know straight away. I on the other hand am not a tree hugging hippie. I'm just me lol. When I create my horses I'll introduce them. |
