So I'm sure a lot of you have seen the 10 year challenge go around on FB, and while it has been awesome seeing the posts I think it woud be great to showcase it here, now not everybody may have been around for ten years but this isn't what it's about, if you could, post your join date and tell me the way that you have grown with the game, the people you have met, the experiences that you have had, anything at all! THis is free for all (just dont be mean =P)

Im legit coming up on 10 years, which made me think of this post, and a couple things I would like to say:

- This community is absolutely amazing. I could not imagine NOT logging in everyday, saying a couple things in chat, checking my horses, tidying my "spreadsheets" and just overall putting me in a better place emotionally. Most players would (including myself) just kinda be like oh okay its a game, it keeps me occupied, but, the relationships, the advancements it has given me in my personal life is astounding. I don't think I can put it on a resume, but hey! Leadership, responsibility, being able to adapt to different people, and circumstances is just astounding. I love it!

Con, Sam, BV, Zad, Binny, Pants, Blitz, Sass, Maha, Ephe, Siib, Koni, Auda, Insom, Kins, Monnie, Pei, Tana, Nectarine (peaches), Reno, Nyxy, Rain, Washoe, Lynelle, The Ladys (S & R), Famous, Tantum, Speed, Mero, Roxxy jesus, those are only on the top of my head right now, literally EVERYONE I have come in contat with has changed my life.

L I T E R A L LY. Everyone.

Thank you guys < 3

 This is an awesome post!

I am coming on up ten too, and it seems so... unreal? I agree that everyone I came in contact with on here has impacted my life in some way, from becoming like family to teaching me valuable lessons. Time really flies.

♥ Not here for 10 years, but for 8 years. My joining date doesnt show up correctly because I changed accounts lol.
HP  has been here for all that time. The community has been so awesome for me. Always when I would have been gone for a while, i'd come back into a warm welcome. I've had many ups and downs and HP really helped me trough this rough rode in bad and in good times. Hp-ers have been always there for me when I needed them, when I felt lonely...
I can't really imagine going away again anymore. My rough road in life have since passed. HP learnt me to communicate well, be patient, and be kind and gratefull. 

I don't want to put a lot of names here, but trust me I love each and every single one of you. You are all in my heart, and a part of me. I've grown alot because of HP. HP Learned me alot of lessons in life, and learned me that whatever happens, there is still someone near.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.

And I must say; Sam is basically the nicest owner I have ever met. She is the sweetest, most patient website owner I know, and she always lends an ear or a hand somewhere and always listens to this community. Honestly, alot of company owners can learn from her.

There.

8 years, it seems quiet unreal though. It seems like yesterday that I joined HP.

I've not been here nearly as long - just over the one year mark on account 44944 woth my lovely new forest ponies.

My confidence in interacting with people online has increased and I love going into chat and have gotten to know some amazing people.

I was overwhelmed a couple times the past couple months as I was nominated for the helping others award and it was so unexpected.  This game cultivates the culture of positivity and looking out for each other.

My lines are growing and I'm on G4 of some of my best lines and just hit my record 2m points on a New Forest. Long term goals on this game are to continue as I am (although with fewer animals)

AW PHIS I LOVE YOU ♥ ♥ Here's to another ten!

Aww, phizzles!! ♥♥ I didn't start until 2010 but this place and everyone here has definitely been an influence in my life. I have made some amazing best friends on this game that my rl friends can't ever understand haha. xD I never would've thought I'd end up as a moderator on this game when I started as I basically kept to myself for quite a few years on here until I somehow started chatting with Tron and the rest is history. :P

Phizzy ♥

So this account was given to me, as such it doesn't reflect my starting date. But I checked my first ever account, #15707, and my start date was June 30th, 2010. Idk what took me so long to join HP, but I'm almost at 9 years and I can't thank everything and everyone about HP for all the good memories and the good ones to come ♥

Almost 10 years as a member here feels so unreal.  To think I joined when I was 13 years old and I'm still actively playing as an adult 9.5 years later is so crazy to me!  I quit almost all of the horse games I used to play when I was a kid but HP has stuck with me and I think that's truly a testament to what kind of a game HP is.  This community is by far the most welcoming and nicest group of people I have ever met.  

Thank you to everyone that has helped me over the years you're all amazing and I can't wait to see what 2019 brings for HP!!
