Thank You

Post by Jockey »

Hi! If you don't know who I am, my username is Jockey and I've been on this game for three years. I'll admit; it's been a fun few years, but I must say that especially recently, the emotional pressure of playing this game has really caught up with me. That being said, I think I'm going to leave the game; if not, at least be a lot less active. I haven't decided quite yet how many horses I'm going to sell (or even if I'm going to sell any more of my horses), but I've just wanted to thank a few players who have always been there for me and helped me out:

You definitely deserve to be at the the top of this list for me! You've always been my most favorite player to talk to and work with, and I will definitely miss you. :( As I said in the PM, if you want any of my horses, I won't hesitate at all to give them to you.

Your posts always make me smile, and you've helped me determine colors that my horses have had that I didn't even know existed! Your knowledge of horse genetics and this game is unmatched (as far as I know), and I just wanted to say thank you for helping me out, especially in the beginning!

I don't even know if you remember me, but I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Within the first month of me playing, you let me compete one of your horses (I think his name was PV Golden Idol, but I don't remember; he was a buckskin), and that's what got me into breeding Tbs. When you offered to breed Tbs to the public, you let me breed one of my mares to this guy (https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1398810), and that filly became the foundation for all of my Tb breeding. You also encouraged me when I was ready to give up attempting to breed Hessian Warmbloods. I never got one, but I managed to breed my own Standardbreds when I followed some of your advice (https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2303289 & https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2304870). Thank you for everything that you've done for me.

You've always been my best trainer (you actually trained my first horse; https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1496788). I've appreciated you studding out a couple of your horses to me, and I have gotten a lot of good foals from them! I'll miss you.

Thank you for always being someone I can count on. From studding out some of your nicest stallions to me, to even selling this mare to me (https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1502015; my first over 50 speed Tb), you've also been instrumental in helping me breed racing Tbs. That mare with Frost's stallion actually created this mare (https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1567151), which became my first over 60 speed Tb. I remember offering 500k for your mare and wondering if it be enough because that was all the money I had, but you accepted right away. Thank you! She started everything for me. Without both your and Frost's generosity, I would not have the Tbs I have today.

I'm sorry if I missed anybody! My head is spinning right now trying to remember everything that has happened and all of the people who have helped me out. Once again, thank you to everyone mentioned above and anyone else who has helped me (meganamber; you were the best!). Now, I don't know whether or not I will be completely leaving the game; I may hop on the forums every once in a while to help others or offer a couple studs. However, I will probably not be competing or breeding my horses in the future. I hope you understand, and I hope that the rest of you continue enjoying this game! I have never found one with quite as many generous and kind people as this one. :) Keep up the good work, HWO!

You aren't deleting your account, right? I would hate that and I'm sure many people agree! I'm sorry to hear you won't be active, though :( Enjoy life!

I don't think I'll delete my account. I want to offer some nice free studs for the rest of you guys 8-) . I believe that this is a step I have to take, and I think I'll enjoy life more after I get over the initial pain of leaving. I must say, I have seen you grow a lot in breeding Thoroughbreds in the short amount of time that I have gotten to know you, and I'm quite impressed! You've got some good ones there. :)

Thank you; you made me tear up a little bit with the first part. :) I don't know if I will delete, but if I ever do, I'll definitely sell you some of my horses. Stay safe too! It's a very germy world out there right now.

Wow, that's very kind of you to say! :D I think I'm going to keep them, in case I ever have time to come back on again, but I will probably put some of my studs up for $1 from time to time. :D
