The Interview Questions!
Anyone who wins P.o.t.M. can answer as many or all of the questions as they feel comfortable answering!

......HP Questions......
1. How did you first learn about us?
I did a Google search for horse games similar to the late Horseland and HP popped up

2. What is your favorite thing about HP?
I love the community we have created here. You guys make my days better!

3. How long have you been playing for?
Since November of 2011

4. How did you come up with your player name?
It's the title of a song Josh Groban sings. It's on his Closer album.
The piano melody in the song just hits me in the feels and of course Josh's amazing voice is just the icing to the cake.

5. What is your favorite breed of horse or dog to train?
I love my American Saddlebred horses!

6. What caused you to pick the breed(s) you train and breed?
From working with various horse breeds in real life like the American Saddlebreds and Hackney Ponies, to breeds I wish I could have the experience one day to work with such as the Friesian. The German Shepherds and Border Collies are just because they are my favorite breeds of dogs.

7. How do you come up with names for your animals?
Song Titles, Dance steps, TV show episodes, and just something random that goes along with the parents' names

8. What are your current goals on HP?
I’m slowly tucking HPD into my savings so I can do my first ever project horse probably in the next few generations! I'd love to have the highest pointed Saddlebreds on the game if I can make it work, haha!

9. Do you have a favorite animal? (It can be your own or another player’s you admire!)
All of the Mascot Contest entries! You guys are always super creative with your critters!

24 Days of Christmas (24 DoC)! Second would be Trick-or-Treating!

12. What other contests or activities do you usually participate in?
All...except now that I'm pretty much hosting all of them I just participate in anything that the other players on staff host. :)

13. Do you have any training or breeding tips to share?
I try to breed my guys on Sundays that way their ages match up with any store mates.
For training, just do however many animals you feel comfortable training. You don't need to have a mass hoard unless you really want to have one, haha!

14. Which seasonal layout art is your favorite?
AUTUMN!!! BV loves Fall!
