Hi everyone - I'm Ember, in short a dressage nutty. In RL I lease a lovely nineteen year old Arab mare to compete on my highschool equestrian team and show Training & First Level dressage. We've had to get over some bumps but I'm excited for our first meet! I also ride a four year old Arab mare who needs some heavy duty work... she was originally trained for saddleseat but they decided she wasn't going to make it to the top so they sold her to a really young girl at my barn. She can't totally manage her, so that's where I come in.
On Bits, my plan is to own a collection of stallions for a stud farm that compete in sport horse events (eventing, jumping, and dressage - particularly dressage).
I'm glad to be here and can't wait to meet you all!

Hey Ember, Welcome to Bits! Good luck on your venture. I'm Kimberly, and I specialize in racers (and the breeding of them), and Apps, Quarter Horses and Paints that specialize in pleasure and halter. And, in RL I just purchased a pleasure AQHA mare who, don't feel bad, needs some fitting and working before we even think or dream about competing.
Thanks, Kim

Hey Ember! Welcome to BITS! I hope you will enjoy it here as much as I have! I'm Elise and currently I don't own my own mini barn, but board at Wildwind Equestrian Centre, owned by Rainbow. Currently I have a couple warmbloods and a quarter horse stallion who shows pleasure. In RL I'm a dressage nut too... Atlas and I show first, and are starting second level this summer. We also show on our equestrian team, this fall was our second year for our school. Do you have any pictures of you and your mare?
Welcome to BITS, I know you'll enjoy it here!

Dressage dressage dressage dressage!!! I'm Rainbow, another of the admins. I too am a dressage nut and half-leasing an Appendix QH gelding who did up to Third Level but is retired from showing - Murray's 16, nearly 17 now and is still game for a whole bunch of good times but doesn't show. (I, however, am not doing Third Level - I can ride a half-decent Training Level test and can attempt First Level but do not SHOW First Level... Actually, I haven't shown in two years.) Annnnyways, welcome to the game!
I'm not normally this incoherent - I'm just exhausted and it's showing. =] But again, it's great to have you in the game and I look forward to getting to know you and your horses!
Oh. BTW. I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre and have dibs on the creation of the future hunter/jumper assoc. =P

Hey, sorry I'm late, but I'm Casey, and in real life I ride hunters with any random school horse. I have a pony named Keeper, but I grew out of him, and now I just occasionally hakc him, when he's not being monopolized by my sisters.
In BITS, I have some warmbloods, that do jumpers,dressage, and eventing, and I own the mini-barn Cherry Tree Farms.
I can't wait to see what kinds of horses you bring into BITS!
