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?
Like many others, I am a HL transplant.

2. What is your favorite thing about HP?
My favorite part of HP is the community. Some people I’ve known for years and they are really good friends.

3. How long have you been playing for?
My old main account says joined on 9/27/2013! Almost ten years!

4. How did you come up with your player name?
Nytmare has been my handle since my early days on HL. I also created and maintained a horse RPG for many years under that name. It’s even tattooed on my right ankle. It’s super special to me! A lot of people mistake it for a different way to spell nightmare, but actuallyyyy…it’s supposed to be “Mare of the Night.” When I was 13 I wanted to be a spooky horse.

5. What is your favorite breed of horse or dog to train?
Here on HP, I have ten breeds and a few partnership accounts! My Holsteiners are doing really well, as are my Dutch Warmbloods. Those two breeds are special as they were my late best friend’s two favorite horses.

6. What caused you to pick the breed(s) you train and breed?
Arabians are my favorite breed. I have always liked them, and in 2005 I found a beautiful bay gelding for sale. His name was Major Payne. He was Egyptian and Polish Arabian. He absolutely stunned me and we were swift friends and honestly, he was my heart horse. We had so many adventures together. He passed away in 2012 due to colic and it broke my heart. His memorial horse here on HP won the Mascot Contest in 2016.

7. How do you come up with names for your animals?
Sometimes the creativity flows and I find a theme. Other times I use a name generator :)

8. What are your current goals on HP?
Right now I’d like to see Never Good at Goodbyes hit as high points-wise as possible. I really couldn’t throw the money at him that I would have liked. He is a memorial for my late best friend.

9. Do you have a favorite animal? (It can be your own or another player’s you admire!)
I absolutely adore my current stallion, Never. He is generation 10 of my first lines on HP. (I should have more, I know). I also really love Neke’s stallion Stubb. His picture is so beautifully animated and he is a memorial like Major Payne was.

10. Who’s your go-to graphic artist or coder? Are there any services you offer?
Ardy (Ris) made me an absolutely stunning work of art for Elizabeth’s memorial stallion. And of course Mango and Trig are always great for coding.
