Hi everyone, I might win first place for being the oldest fart in game, yes Argent im older than you... not telling by how many years. I live in Melbourne Australia with my Husband and our cat, who btw thinks his a dog. I have played many Horse games Howrse, Star Stable Online to name just two and thought I'd check out HWO. I am planning to specialize in Anglo-Arabians and down the track Shagya Arabian. I owned competition Arabians in my day and miss them very much, online horse games is all i can do now due to a car accident 9 years ago. I am happy to connect with others who have the same breeding agena as I am aware this might be difficult to achieve on my own. Hope to talk more soon.

I've been lurking and dabbling around for months now, figured it's about time I introduce myself ;)

I'm a 24 year old female from Maryland. I have a bachelor's degree in history and I'm currently working as a historic interpreter. I started playing horse sims around 15 years ago (which makes me feel both really old and really nerdy). I have been riding horses on and off since I was 5. As a child, I took lessons regularly and competed at small local shows but various life circumstances have prevented me from being anything more than a pleasure rider for the last 14 years. Now that I've graduated from college, I'm hoping to start riding on a more serious level soon and eventually I'd like to start competing again. I currently have one horse, a 22 year old bay OTTB gelding called Squirrellie. Again, due to life circumstances, he is merely a pasture ornament but I've had him since I was 10 and he's like a member of the family, so he has a permanent home here. My other "kid" is my cat, Keira.

I love all things Irish, so my ultimate goal on HWO is to breed Irish Draughts of correct type according to current real-life registry standards. I think it'll take me *a little* while to get there though, so baby steps for now :D

Hi there. I recently stumbled upon this game via VPF and I'm really diggin' it so far. I've been an avid horse simmer for years, on another game. But have quite honestly become a bit stale of it over there. So far this game is refreshing and just the right amount of challenging/relaxing. Hoping to stick around for a while and get to know some of you.

I'm a 26 year old mom of one working in management. I owned and rode horses growing up until a few years ago. It's been a while since I've been active with equines IRL, but I've managed to keep my passion going via the interwebs, for now. I'm also owned by two cats and a GSMD. :)

    • Hello everyone! C:

      I'm 20 y. o. student from Slovakia, but I live for over 2 years in Czech republic now. Both countries are quite small and in the heart of Europe. Slovakia is known mostly for its beautiful nature and Czech republic for its tasty beer ;] I'm living with my boyfriend and 7,5 years old border collie.
      I was hanging around animals from as long as I can remember. My grandparents always had at least one horse along with a lot of other farm animals and I hope to get one myself, when I will finish my education. My most favourite breeds are Gypsy Cobs, Black Forest Horses and in general gentle giants, although I really love QHs and Appaloosas as well ^^
      My other hobbies are computer games - I play Dota 2 a lot with pauses every now and then. If you are a gamer too feel free to add me over on Steam. I also enjoy traditional drawing and reading books.

Hello! I've been playing for a few days and I feel like I'm gonna stick around so I guess it's time I start being sociable. I'm Lynne Summers, I'm 22 and recently graduated from college where I studied mathematics and computer science. I don't have a job yet and I'm spending a lot of the time I should be looking for one on here instead, so that's probably not healthy. It's a process. I grew up on a small farm in the midwestern United States. We had goats and assorted other animals, and very briefly a couple of horses. We ended up having to sell them to make room for other livestock- mine was a palomino filly named Summer, and I've been using her name as an internet pseudonym ever since. My career goals don't really mesh with my life-on-the-farm goals, so until I can work that out my two cats and sims like this will have to do.

I'm loving all the 20-somethings on here - last time I played a sim like this I was like 14 so that's not what I was expecting. I guess we're the horse-sim generation?

Hello! I'm Jenn. I'm 24 and graduated with a BS in Biology a couple years ago. For some reason (not sure why now) I decided I needed to join the US Army, so I currently live in South Korea and will be moving to Louisiana here in a month to finish out my contract. I'm starting my MS in Biology in January, and once I get closer to the end of my contract (May 2017 woo!) I will be applying for PhD programs in Equine Nutrition and Sports Medicine.

I grew up in NW PA and showed at local shows in hunter classes from the time I was eight. I love horses, but due to the Army I haven't been able to ride much for the past two years. When I get to LA I am putting in an application to adopt an OTTB from New Vocations so I can have a horse of my own to bring along and train to do some low level eventing and hunter paces.

Greetings!
I'feel lurked for a bit now and thought i'd introduce myself. The names Morgan. I'm a 24 year old woman living in the Great Lakes area. I have an early education degree and currently pursuing a master's in infant psychology while working in an infant classroom. I have never had a horse of my own, but have ridden at a barn full of Morgans for close to 15 years. I stumbled upon this game while on r/horses and I was instantly hooked, I mean like flow charts and summary pages of all my horses. Even though i'm a newbie I am having a blast!

Ok so I am a little late to the party here.... I am formally know as HWF in the old version of the game. Some of you may remember me... or not ;)

Anyways - I am a stay at home mom with a daughter starting kindergarten this year and we're homeschooling! Not sure what I am getting myself into... but we'll see! I also own a small farm and have an Akhal-teke stallion. I had just gotten him as a yearling at the end of the time period of the old version of HWO. He is now 6.

That's not me riding him but a friend and she is very tall which makes him look small. ;) We are expecting his first baby (a part-bred) next Spring! Can't wait!!

I also run my own equestrian artwork and gifts shop online so that I can work from home to be with my daughter. If you want to see that, please take a look here: http://www.ThePaintingPony.com
I do commissioned horse portraits and have a fun variety of different products with my original artwork on them. And also from my Pony, Buddy - who also paints!

I am pretty busy these days but I am super excited about all the hard work Larissa has put into this game! I may not be as active as I once was - but be sure to find the BEST akhal-teke horses from me on the game! (though I am far from that current goal lol) I will get there though! :)

Hello! I think I'd be pretty close to the oldest in the game, but I think I'll leave out actual age LOL! Another aussie too, I live in NE victoria. Only just started here but already getting quite the herd together!! In real life I breed a few Gypsy Cobs, and my family also bred Shetlands so I have a few of them. My main riding horse is an opinionated buckskin stock type mare. I love the heavy pony types so will probably concentrate on them here too. Oh I also have 3 border collies!
