Hi everyone. I've actually seen several threads on here that sort of mimick the same shock and disbelief I do. I followed a reddit thread here, to see if there were still any "oldies" who played the games I did growing up... and I think there might be! I was on HL (I had many different numbers but they started in the 3-digits..... if you know, you know... about 1998-1999) and I was also on LE #108 (no idea why i even remember...I probably just typed it so many times!) anyway. I was always really into the artistic side of these sites, getting paid ACTUAL REAL MONEY (via dollars in a card!) to make photos, etc. I "trained" lots of online horses. Anyway, time went on, we all got older and went on to do 'real life' things I suppose... right? I mean, I surely did. I went on to continue riding, was competitive at the 1.20 level jumpers and Training/Prelim level eventers... Took a break through college because of money, then life hit me super hard in my later 20's... and well... I bought a REAL farm of my own. I've now been running that for 7 years successfully. and I love it (even if I'm exhausted). So why circle back to online games? ITS SO NOSTALGIC!!!!! OMG my heart bleeds for nostalgia. Honestly. I had several handles back then (one was SYN if anyone remembers that one) so if you think you may remember me, holla! 

Welcome! :D So happy to see another player who played LE too, as well as HL. That's so cool that you have your own farm!

I played HL 98 - the change so we've probably bumped into each other!

Always been City of Angels 😂

Rosa is awesome, Rosa is fine, Rosa didn't write this...

I SWEAR I remember the name 'Syn' but at this point it was so long ago that my memory could absolutely be playing tricks. I can't even remember my early usernames on HL (though I ultimately turned into 'Karma').

But welcome to HP! Do enjoy the nostalgia (and maybe some more art if the mood takes you again?!). Def gonna need photos of any real life critters you may be in possession of (it's kinda a rite of passage xD).

Welcome to HP!! :)

Welcome! It's super nostalgic for sure, and the closest I've found to old HL. 

I second Utakata - share pics!

AHHH you all responded!!! im so very excited. utakata i will post photos later today of my boys! I just foaled my first colt the other day as well so expect a million photos of him. off to cross country now VERY excited to meet you all! 

Welcome to HP!

Hey there! Welcome to HP 💚

Welcome! :D

Hi! I was on HL around that time too. I feel you on the bleeding heart for nostalgia. Welcome to our community. Your own farm is super cool :) 

Hello and welcome! Another Horselander here, my account was #1735573 and I went by Arachnid for a little while, then Skelletor! 

Lovely to see you here, I hope you enjoy it! xo

*waves* I was known as Ardy/Arduous. Account 58345 was my main. I think I vaguely remember a syn amongst my buddies but now I am old and have the memory of a turnip. xD Welcome to "nostalgia is a hell of a drug so here I am" haha.

Welcome! We're so happy to have you here!

Welcome x so many of us are here from HL but I was later and itwas around 2005 I found it.

Can't wait to see photos of your colt (I've got a 2 year old arriving next week and excited). 

Welcome to HP! I found HP through googling about HL randomly. I was trying (And still am) to try and find some sort of memory or picture of the imfamous horse "Just Better." The one people trained to like a million points when that was unheard of then made him free to breed so he had millions of foals. 

I broke into my photobucket and found so many of my old HL pics I loved it. I was Exposure 282051 but I wasn't very social on there, just watched from afar. I think ONE time I became a president of the Originality Club and I was so happy.

Hope to see you around!! I love that the majority of people are now "grown ups" from HL days.

Oh hewwo. I was on HL as well as a few names. Aero, Fly Away Paints, Eiko, Snazzy, and a number of other oddities. All an account number 2287833! (Had to crack open my Photobucket for that info lmao)

Welcome to HP and we hope you stick around :D 

ARDY! NO WAY! I completely remember you. I was Syn #815 (I think?) I also had a 600 account but i dont remember what I called myself on that one. This is so wild! So glad you are all into the nostalgia!! :] :]

vexation - I REMEMBER JUST BETTER, IM DYING HAHAHA. I was going to name my first horse on here JB just to be inflamatory to anyone who remembered aaahhhhhhh this is so great 

Is there a way to post photos on forums? I'd like to show you all the foal I just bred! (first time breeding) 

Usually just copy paste the pic here works - or you can upload it to imgur and then share the link! We wanna see the baby ponies. xD

Working on it now, I just got a photobucket and was going to image source it. brb!

LOL Right Isley? I remember it was kind of when I started and I was SO excited to have a "high point foal" but then realized people hated that horse lol.
