Who Am I? I'm Erika! I live in Shrewsbury, PA, which is like in the middle of everything Equestrian. I've RPGed for almost 5 years now, and have ridden horses for 5 years. I've ridden Western Pleasure, Hunter/Jumping, and Dressage. I've ridden at... 5 barns. Reasons vary. Currently I'm leasing a registered Bay QH gelding named Johnny Angel or John. He's a really great guy, though a tad spooky at times. I ride him in Dressage. I also ride a Grey 7/8 Arabian, 1/8 Thoroughbred gelding (pictured above) in Dressage, and he's a Prix St. Georges schoolmaster, being the 2003 IAHA Half-Arabian Prix St. Georges Reserve National Champion and the 2003 USEF/USDF Half-Arabian Prix St. Georges All Breeds Champion. I'm hoping we can do at lease 2nd level with him within the next year or two! Plussss... I love my Jaguar saddle. It's the bomb. What Are My Plans & Goals? Erm... Warmbloods and Arabians. I love both, and so they'll be my main focus, but I'll probably find another breed to fall in love with along the way . I'm an active SIMmer, and I cannot wait to really get into playing! I do plan on opening a stable, probably in January though so I have time to gain footing. Ways To Contact Me: erikasentz@comcast.net [aim] anky van gonnabe ((SPACES!!))

Hey Erika! I'm Nicole, and I own Lorey Lane Farms, which has Arabians and TB racers I also own the BITS Arabian Horse Association I am SOOO happy for another Arabian lover!!! They're only 2 or 3 of us that actively show in the BAHA shows, so you'll be very welcomed by me ^_^ BITS is the best ever, honest and truthfully, as I, and many others have been here for over a year! If you need any Arabs, I'd be willing to maybe sell you a couple In RL, I'm riding two Solstice mares, Deedee, and Phoebe, and I'll hopefully start showing them this winter or so. I also own a Quarter Pony named Peanut, hehe. I must say I love your part Arab! He's beauuutiful! Welcome again, and I hope you have as much fun as we are!

Hey, Erika! My name is Gwen and I am an admin at BITS. I am glad to hear about your horses in both real and SIM life! You half-arab gelding is gorgeous!
In RL, I have two (soon to be 3) paint horses and, like you, have done a little of everything! In the game, I own a stock horse barn - Show Me Halter and Performace Horses - as well as a few select sporthorses. I also run the BITS Breeders Trust and the BITS Stock Breed Registry.
Welcome to BITS!

Thanks guys! I'm sure Lenny (The Arab) would love the compliments I'll be sure to let him know how loved he his whenever I go see him next (barn's unaccessible today, and probably tomorrow).

Hey Erika! I'm Rainbow, another of the admins here. In the game, I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre, specialising in dressage, hunters, and showjumping. I also own the Hunter/Jumper Association and run (usually) monthly dressage shows.
I know where you live (and I am not a stalker, I swear). I am originally from the opposite side of the state -- just outside of Pittsburgh. I now live in the boring flat-land cornfields of Illinois, though -- but since we do have plenty of horse farms and a large show facility within twenty minutes of my house, I shall not complain. I am also a dressage rider in real life; I half-lease an Appendix QH gelding, Murray, and also ride a former Prelim-level eventer, a 20y/o Thoroughbred named Xavier. It's always great to see another dressage rider in the game!
Anyways, welcome again, and hopefully you enjoy it here! =)

Hey Erika, I'm Jen and I own Diamond Elite Farms another stock horse barn in BITS. I also have a racing string and a few other breeds I couldn't resist. In RL I have a 3 y/o app gelding who I hope to get qualified for the 2008 world show. I am glad you are here, hope you have fun. BITS is the best there is!
