Hi, I'm totally excited to join BITS! Umm, I'm a 15yo Aussie girl who is crazily in love with her evil (and equally adorable) Welsh Pony mare, Misty, and my very tolerant, energetic Standardbred gelding, Yogi. Well Yogi is meant to be my mum's trail horse, but I have somehow transformed him into a Pony Clubber. I love them tonnes. I attend just a local high school and am in Year 10 (eek!), and I have not a clue what direction I want to go in. In BITS, I don't really know what kind of horses I would like to have. I'm thinking Hunters, because I've never gone down that road before... I can't wait to start SIMing with everyone.

Hello Alicia! My name is Tybee (pronounced tie-bee) and I own and run Two Keys Ranch here in BITS where we breed/train/show paints, quarter horses, arabians, anglo-arabians, and thoroughbreds. I also own and run the BWHR - which will now be open to anyone who wants to participate in it and will not require membership. I am 17 years old and I am a junior in highschool with only 20 days of school left yay!
In real life I own a Palomino QH gelding, a Black Anglo-Arabian (just found out through a blood test, yay!), a bay minimal pinto Miniature Horse (NOT Shetland Ponies which are completely different) stud colt, and a sorrel tobiano Miniature Horse. I *may* be adding another horse to my herd here soon that was just born yesterday by a mare that lives just 30 seconds up the road from me - but I will still have to see.
But I am glad to see that you have decided to join BITS and I look forward to seeing you around, and if you need any help, just PM me!!
Tybee

Hey Alicia, welcome to BITS! I'm Maya, one of the admins, and I own Camelot Enterprises and Pemberley Estates, specializing in Eventers and Thoroughbred flatracers In RL, I have 6 horses (you can read about 'em in my intro post at the very end of this board ) and competed in eventing/dressage/showjumping until a combination of university and lack of non-green/non-retired horses stopped me I'm also a pony clubber, good to see another one around! haha. Random question... is Australia sending an International Quiz Exchange team to Internationals this year in the USA? Erm... what else can I say... I just finished my second year at Trent University, majoring in Forensic Science, and in September I'll be going to Fleming College to get a degree in Web Developing... I have a kitty... and I drive a car named Seabiscuit. I hope you enjoy BITS as much as all of us do, I love getting new members!

Hey, Alicia! My name is Gwen and I am another BITS admin. I own two paints in RL - a 16 year old mare who I showed all around with and a yearling gelding. In BITS, I show/breed/train mostly paints and stock horses as well as a couple of select paint horses. I also have a select few TB sporthorses, chasers, and racers It should be fun to see what horses you bring in!

'ello! I'm Rainbow, the final admin. Welcome to BITS! I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre, which focuses on Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and Dales Ponies trained for dressage, showjumping, and hunters. =) In real life, I half-lease an Appenix QH gelding, Murray - though he's getting up in years, he's still a great ride and teaches me much about my discipline of choice, dressage (though I do love some jumping now and then). For two years, I rode a Welsh Pony as well - Danny was an annoying little thing when he wanted to be, but he was great fun to ride (I still get on him every so often, even though I'm sadly too tall to really ride or show him). Again, welcome to BITS!

Wow, thanks so much for such a warm welcome. Tyebee, I love Minis! You lucky bum, there is a Shetland and Mini in a paddock together where I keep my horses and they're the best of friends. Rachael thanks, I like yours too. The grey is my pony Misty, and the black one is Yogi. Leaving the halter on (Misty), kind of ruined the photo, lol. I'm not sure about the International Quiz Exchange, but I'll ask about it. It seems racing is popular here? I enjoy racing heaps, I'll have to check it out and see what kind of horses I would like to create. Thanks again for coming to say hi!
