Getting to Know You

[Killeroo]

Hi guys. I'm Killeroo. On various other sites I've been known as OzMetal, OMC, AKD1727, and Mutiny.
I'm 28 yo, female and live in Australia with my 8yo Australian Kelpie.

I'm currently working part-time in commercial cleaning while studying dog behaviour and training. I'm planning on focusing on scent detection and tracking, and eventually starting my own business where I will buy/adopt then train then sell the fully or partly trained dog to detection dog handlers (i.e. Customs, Quarantine, Correctional Services). I would also love to experience protection dog training but for now thats staying in the 'maybe later' pile.

My interests are fairly diverse and usually shock people who meet me as I'm am a friendly yet fairly private person. Some of these include; breeding genetics, anthropology, archaeology, unusual/rare breeds of animals, reality shows (mining, remote living, social history etc), self-sufficiency, horses (of course!), veggie gardening, tropical fish-keeping, writing fiction, playing the Sims, watching sci-fi/action/fantasy TV and movies (Divergent, Harry Potter, Arrow, Iron Man, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D etc), modern-day full contact jousting, heavy metal music, dragons, wolves, and oh... and I tend to swear... a lot, especially when playing video games I also have a horribly annoying need to know how things work which comes in handy when things break (I used to fix my old car too!) but I also used to pull apart my toys as a kid much to mum's despair.

I have never had the chance to learn to ride a horse or own one but it is definitely something I plan to do in the near future. In the meantime I have HWO and I'm excited to see it grow!

[Azura Rose]

Pick me, pick me.

I'm Azura. I'm 25 in march. I live in Australia. I have own horse named Dulux who I affectionately refer to as my feral. this is her this is her face. She isn't a fan of photos sadly. She's an Australian Stock horse cross something. I think arab. I am currently studying for my Cert III in Early Childhood Education and Care. Hopefully get a job out of it fairly quickly, I'm gonna need all the money I can get with the Australian dollar the way it is.

I'm Azura Rose pretty much everywhere, so if you see the name, there's a good chance it's me xD

[Quest]

I guess I'll go next.

Hi I'm Quest or Questy. I am 24 and work in a Specialty and 24 hr Emergency clinic as an LVT. I have 2 horses, 2 dogs and a cat. All rescues, yes, the dangers of working in the Animal field. I have been on the online horse game circuit since I was like 9 or 10 and had to stop for a little while due to college and all these grown up responsibilities. Yuck.

So my ponies. I have a OTTB and a Paint. I have had my OTTB for 3 1/2 years and I love his guts to pieces. His show name (USEF/USHJA Registered too!) is Nikerym's Mockingjay. My pretty Paint mare I just recently acquired. I call her my quarter life crisis... Heh...

So I am thrilled to be here and to learn all about this and help out with breaking the game. Haha! *grabs hammer*

Nice to meet you all!

[Alaina]

Anyone who has yet to post here or any of our new early access users should come on in and introduce yourselves!

[MaliaSilverheart]

*raises hand* I'm new!

I am a 23 year old lady who lives in the northwestern USA. I currently work at a grocery store, but I eventually want to be an equine veterinarian or horse trainer. I love Appaloosa patterned horses and my favorite breed in the Sugarbush Draft

My family has always been too poor for me to have too much interaction with horses I did get sponsored to go to horse camp three summers in high school, which was awesome! I have had my love for horses since I was a little girl. I love the genetics side of this game and I can't wait for patterns to be added

[Alexis]

Hi, I'm Alexis, I'm 17 and currently live in a mitten(Michigan). Seems I'm the youngest here so far, or atleast to post here haha.
I read everyone's post before I posted. I'm am a Junior in high school and am also homeschooled. I do my school on an online program. In my future I plan to do something in the medical field or maybe animals, not sure yet. I also have had an interest in Psychology so I might pursue that.

In my house we have a lot of animals, goats, chickens, dogs, a cat, a rat, mice, rabbits, a snake and last night got 2 leopard geckos. Out of the animals, the ones that are mine are the goats, rat, mice and cat. And one of the dogs is technically mine since I will take her with me whenever I move out.

Some of my interests are animals, of course, reading, writing, drawing, although I'm not good at drawing or writing lol. I don't really watch tv that much, but shows I like are Game of Thrones(reading the books right now) Grey's Anatomy, and Rookie Blue.

Well I think that is all I can think of right now. Didn't want to ramble on lol.

[Amortentia]

Hi guys! My name's Amortentia, but feel free to call me Amor or Morty. I'm 21 (nearly 22), and live in Ontario, Canada. I'm currently taking online classes to become a Library Technician and I also work part-time as an Accounting assistant (as I took a Business course before starting my Library Tech schooling this past winter).

I've always loved animals and we've always had at least one pet in my household. (We currently have one dog and one cat.) My mom is a small animal Veterinarian, so that probably has a lot to do with both of those things. ;P Horses (along with dogs and cats) are my favourite animals, and though I've never owned my own (and don't know if I ever will, sadly), I have taken riding lessons on and off since I was 13. I mostly ride English and I did learn how to jump at one point, but my favourite thing to do is to go for trail rides. Along with horse and animals, some of other interests include reading, writing, singing, dancing, the colour blue, anime/manga, spending time with my family and friends, binge-watching tv shows, and having movie marathons.

I've been following HWO for over two years now (I think), and I'm super excited that I finally am able to play it! I joined last Friday, so I've been playing for about a week now and I'm super impressed (and addicted ;P) already! I'm excited to see where this sim goes as it's already got a lot going for it.

I will also just quickly mention that I've been playing horse sims for years and I think this one may end up being my all-time favourite? It's already a really good sign that I've stuck around for a week, as I tend to have a habit of playing a new sim for a day or two and then never logging in again. >_> There's only been a couple of sites that I've continued to play, and usually it's not regularly. This is actually the first time in a long time that I've played a horse sim. Hopefully I'm able to stick it out with this one though, as I believe it's worth it!

[RilkaGreen]

I'm Rilka, a *mumble*-year-old mama from a beautiful 4-season state in the USA. I work as a system admin from home and have 4 kiddos running around. 2 are add-ons from marrying my hubs, but I love them anyways. I have a passion for Arabians of all kinds, but I'm especially fond of Egyptian Arabs. Hubs has a Shire stud who we hope will be the foundation of our Sport Horse farm someday. I'm a show-jumper at heart, but also love trails and was starting to get into Endurance with my Arab. Sadly we had to rehome him for his own good. He needed an everyday job and with 4 kids I just couldn't do it.

[Paradiss]

My turn I guess

My name is Paradiss, I am a 20 year old Spanish (from Spain, not any South American country), currently studying a Tourism degree in university. I have loved horses all my life and got the chance to ride when I was around 10 years old.
Had to leave the horses for the studies, sadly. Currently, I am focusing in my future goal which is becoming an airline pilot. I just love planes and anything to do with them XD will take me some years, specially to get the money to pay the course and the flying hours required for being a pilot. For that, I will do the flight attendant course and will gain some money, while staying loyal to what I like.

Have to say the genetics in this game are really well done. As many of the people here, I'm also fanscinated by them and have been learning about them. I started knowing about them thanks to another game called Horse Eden Eventing, but HWO has certainly taken it to another level

I also love playing mmorpg games such as Tera, Cabal 2, Guild Wars 2, Archeage, Skyforge and one horse mmorpg currently in recreation called Alicia Online (will also have genes with breeding *.*)

[Cathmor]

Wow, everyone in their twenties. Hehe.

Hello everyone! I'm Cathmor, and I am 16 years old. Currently I live in California, and obviously still in high school. For my whole entire life, I have loved horses, even when I was too young to even talk. My Nana lives in an area where there are tons of horse farms, and when we would drive up to see her, I loved watching the horses running along fence. When I was in kindergarten I would check out non-fiction horse information books, even though I couldn't read them I just stared at the pictures, wishing that I had my very own horse.

I don't live on a farm but when I can, I plan on getting a job involving race horse, I intend to be an exercise rider. They ride the horses everyday to keep them in shape. Maybe if I can scramble up the money, I'll raise my own farm, probably throw in a few cows.

I love playing internet games like Furry Paws, Pine Ridge Herding, and Leviathan Myth. I do play Howrse at times but sometimes I would just lose interest for a few months but then go back on later. I plan on staying here for a long time, I like how realistic it is and since I have a problem with saving money it gives me a challenge
