Hey guys! A few of you might know me, but I'm Elise! I'm coming back to all-sim after a couple years' break, during which I've been playing Bits and been busy in college! I've always been partial to the Warmbloods, but I'm not sure if that's all I want to focus on. I'm thinking maybe a couple Quarter Horses and Arabians mixed in with perhaps a Thoroughbred racer or two. We'll see My suggestions on what's the most active lately? Let's see... in real life I'm a sophomore in college at Northern Michigan University who is majoring in Art Education with a photography minor. I've been riding since I was five years old and I'm currently focusing on Dressage and Show Jumping. My gelding, Atlas, is a Latvian Warmblood and we've been together coming up on five years (gee, that makes me feel old). I'm a C-1 Pony Clubber who is going for her C-2 in the spring, we're from the Great Lakes Region for any fellow PC-ers Hmm... what else? I've fenced for a year and a half, enjoying saber the most, and am hoping to compete in my first tournament this winter. And I might be going to Vienna in May for a study abroad session. I'm super excited!! I love sunshine and laughing and the colors teal and yellow but absolutely nothing can beat a winter night, walking back from class, when it's quiet and the snowflakes falling are huge

Atlas. Is. Ah. Mazing. LOL. Random thought of the day.
I think BITS is like, full of abroad study-ers. You're the third to go. *pouts* I want to come! I'll just jump in your suitcase, k? =)
Uhm.. depends on what forum you're on for activity. But. I think Thoroughbreds (Race & Sport), Stock (for basically anything) and Warmbloods are most active. I think you need some awesome racehorses to run in the ASJC. Or export some from BITS... I have them all registered anyways Do it... Do it... Do it... =D Indiza is bringing out some ponies too! haha.

Welcome Elise! I'm Julia, and i own and operate Caughey inc and Sterling Kennels. I also run the ASWA (all sim warmblood association), the ASDA (All Sim Dressage Association) and the SAI dog shows. I originally joined All-Sim with just warmbloods, and have been working slowly to increase the swedish warmblood population within the community. in the year+ since then, i've branched out into thoroughbreds, arabians, and stock horses... Its been incredibly difficult keeping my numbers down... So hopefully you can pick a specific area to focus on and stick with it!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of us, we're all very friendly

Thank you for the warm welcomes! I'm so excited to get rolling again with all-sim, I've really, really missed it! As I type this up, Shelly is helping me get some bugs out of my stable site. I'm using Yola.com, which is usually pretty easy, I used it to make my Bits stable (www.alzilabarra.yolasite.com) and love it. I just can't seem to get things lined up on this one Tessa, NMU is up in Marquette in the Upper Penninsula I'm not too familiar with the downstate area, haha, I grew up about an hour south of the Bridge in a teeny town called Boyne City. You may have heard of Boyne Mountain, it's a big ski resort. We mainly just go down to the Lansing area for horse shows and I've been to Bridgeport (near Birch Run) a couple times for a clinic.
