I haven't exactly gotten to know other people around here or made myself known either. It seems funny, I enjoy meeting new people around the web and love to make friends within SIM games and like communities...
Well, hello! I am Syd, though I go by Ziggi or Zig on the net. I am a 16 year-old girl living up in Alberta, Canada, enjoying these oh-so-lovely winter months![/sarcasm] I guess I have been playing in the all-sim community for two or three years now and started all the way back with Show Jumping Fyrr before it closed up. I have run Nevermore Stables/Inc since that time, though it has gone through numerous changes since! What I now use is Harrowdale Farms. I many turn my focuses to breeding and competing various warmblood breeds, though my stock is mostly made of Hanoverians, Dutch Warmbloods and Holsteiners. I also have taken on some Welsh B ponies as hunter/driving competitors as well.
As for my real life, I have been riding nearly 9 years now. I live for horses like many around here do and I was bitten with this obsession at a fairly young age. My horse life started small and I took lessons every second week or when my instructor was available and it didn't progress much from there for two years. After I moved to where I am now, I started at a local hunter/jumper barn, and still ride there today, nearly 7 years later. ^^ I no longer only ride maybe every second week, but four-five days a week and have more mounts than I could ever imagine! Unfortunately, I do not own a horse of my own yet, but I am leasing a 16YO thoroughbred gelding to show and (figures crossed) hopefully buy sometime soon and help my trainer train two of the lesson horses at the barn -an older gelding and a sweet 8 or 9YO thoroughbred gelding whom I love to bits.
And aside from my four horses to ride (no, I didn't miss count, there is a crazy morgan mare I also ride!) I am also in grade eleven and taking on a full course load as well as the after-school concert band program on Tuesdays and Thursdays. How I manage to keep everything with the horses, school and work (two jobs on the weekend) is a mystery to me, but it sure keeps me out of trouble and content. ^^
