Hi I'm new From PA

[buckingwildranch]

I'm 29 yrs old and a horse trainer from the state of Pa. I have been training horses for over 6 yrs now. I also give lessons and trail rides.
Feel free to ask any questions conserning training that you would like and I will answer them the best that I can!!
I have one main horse! His name is Prince Toby QT and he is a 15:3hh, going on 3 yrs old, spotted saddlebred gelding.
Prince is the best horse I have had yet and he sure is a keeper!! I raised him from breeding the mom to where he is in his training today!!

Welcome! I'm Gwen, one of the admins here. Your horse sounds beautiful! Feel free to post pictures if you'd like.

In the game I own Show Me halter and Performance Horses and the BITS Stock Breed Registry. I own mainly paints with a select number of tb's, qh's, and warmbloods. In RL, I am a student at Indiana University Bloomington.

Forgive me for not being to chatty. I just came from the front row of a basketball game where we lost by 2 points :-P If you were watching, you might have seen me.

[Christie]

Boo, I hate those types of games Gwen!

Howdy, welcome to BITS! I'm Christie, one of the eventing fanatics around here, and owner of Simple Charms Equestrian Center, along with a few other establishments. In RL, I'm a 20 yr old student and happy owner of a 4 yr old TB gelding, who finally seems to be understanding the concept of rhythm! Haha ;D

What type of riding/training do you do in RL? Glad to have you here in BITS, hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do!

[Rainbow]

Hey! I'm Rainbow, another of the admins. I'm originally from Pennsylvania, though now I live a little west of Chicago. What part of the state are you from? =)

Anyways, in the game, I own Wildwind Equestrian Centre and the Hunter/Jumper Association. I focus mostly on thoroughbreds, warmbloods, and a few ponies for dressage, hunters, and jumpers.

In real life, I ride mostly dressage with a very, very little bit of hunter stuff on the side. I half-lease a Thoroughbred gelding named Xavier, who has no idea that he's 20.

We're all excited to get to know you and your horse, and to see what you bring into the game!

[Nicole]

I didn't realize IU lost. Darn. My mom is now in complete hate mode of Sampson LOL. Although I can't say I don't agree with her; Calvin is a lying cheating guy who in opinion of my mother says "Fire 'em and put me the heck in!" hahaha.

Anywho, welcome to BITS! I'm Nicole (obviously) and in RL I own a little Quarter Pony (well, we think she's quarter pony lol) named Peanut and I ride Arabians for my trainer, although we are in a slightly rough patch due to Deedee (main horse I ride) being a true uncooperative woman
In the game, I own Lorey Lane Farms, which specializes in Arabian Sporthorses, and some TB racers as well as a few oddballs I also own the BITS Arabian Horse Association (which is ever so slightly on a hiatus ^_^) as well as the BITS Horse Rescue Center (which has a ton of horses if you are horse hunting!) and I co-own the BITS Sport Horse Association, which is also on a bit of a hiatus lol.

Your horse sounds beautiful by the way, feel free to post pics! What do you plan on having in BITS? I'm curious and I'm sure the others are as well hehe.

[Gwen]

I was against his hiring, but I have grown to like the guy. He get's results. My joke is just...

BRING BACK BOBBY. Haha. Perhaps you are too young to remember him, but he was a great coach.

[candj]

Nice to meet you, I am Jen and I own Diamond Elite Farms. In BITS I focus mainly on stock breeds and thoroughbreds. In RL I own a 4yr old appaloosa gelding who never has a dull moment. I just finished up grad school and have entered the working world and finally have the time (and income) to show they way I have always wanted too. Nice to meet you!

[Nicole]

Gwen - hahahahaaaa. I don't remember his coaching days, but boy do I sure hear about them My mother, as before said, is an IU nut, so she always does flash backs to the past, so I know about it, I just didn't see it first hand

[buckingwildranch]

Sorry, I have been busy latly and have not got to get on the comp!! But here are some pic's of my boy!! He is a real sweet heart!!

[buckingwildranch]

Oh, I do general training, no fancy stuff like showing, just good old fashioned getting them to be great riding horses!!

[Nicole]

Awww, he's gorgeous! What do you want us to call you Buckingwildranch? All of us here at BITS have RL names, kinda makes it feel homey, so maybe we should make you up a name of some sort hehe ^_^ Toby maybe? You can decide I just like calling people by real names instead of farms and such But anyways, I have to comment again on Tobey, he is sooo pretty! I want him!!! *hugs and steals away for self* hehe ;D

[buckingwildranch]

My name is Vanessa, I call him Prince!!
Thanks he is my boy and I'm very proud of him, he has been through alot!! He lost 6 inches of ligiment out of his hind right leg almost a year ago!!
The Vet's didn't think he would be able to use it again, but now I'm riding him, I can even run on him!!

[Christie]

Wow, that's really impressive about his injury. It's so cool to see horses come back from injuries like that.

He's absolutely adorable Vanessa!

[Gwen]

Prince is beautiful! I am glad to see that he came back from his injury okay :-D

[Rainbow]

It's good to hear he's sound again, that's pretty impressive. He's gorgeous, too!

[ashley]

Hey Vanessa. Sorry it has taken me five days to introduce myself. I'm Ashley. In BITS I focus on stock breeds (QHs and Paints) and western pleasure, trail, hunter under saddle, and driving disciplines. I'm also a trainer in RL but I am horseless for the time. I will be getting a new horse to train and show this summer from my friend who lives in PA, too, actually. Best of luck in BITS and feel free to ask if you have any questions.
