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! 

5 DAYS OLD! He's pallido blu CF x giddyupmyfourohnine (my ottb mare). He was supposed to be a paint warmblood but we got all his white in the legs! I am just obsessed with him. I'm going to call him kodachrome. it's an old song about the invention of color film, and it fits with all his chrome!!! Koda for short. 

I did the same thing vex hahaha. I had already been on the game for a few years but I didn't get it, until I had a jb baby and everyone was disgusted and I was like "oh..." hahahahahah

 This is Isley, my handle is after him. He's my favorite horse and hes also a maniac 

Y'ALL...

Just Better 🤣🤣🤣 that memory just made its way from the abyss after I saw you mention it hahahahaha was he a Thoroughbred if I remember correctly?

I went by Lust on HP (young teenager me thought that was such a cool name) hahaha smh

I remember Ardy and vaguely Syn? My memory is also toast at 36 lol

But welcome to HP!!! ♥️

LOL Yes Fenway. His page/pic said "Just Better.. like the Bahamas" and I remember it was like allegedly 2 guys who trained him up that high and then saturated like every horse on HL.

Isley, I think you might have to share the link for the pics. THeyre showing up as broken for me.

Thank you fenway!! :) and yes he was a thoroughbred on there. He messed up bloodines forever LOL. Vex- yes!!! it was two guys! 

Oh crap. Okay let me get the link for them! When I first pasted them, they showed up.. but now they don't for me either.

Hopefully those links work! 

The links work! Omg so cute!!! I love baby Koda's markings!

That is such a beautiful pic of you and Isley! I always wanted a black horse. 

Thank you so much!! I'm obsessed with baby koda and I havent physically met him yet. I bred him to a retired mare I have in montana (I live in CA) so I'm trying so hard to fly out there to meet him. I'll bring him home maybe as a 1-2 year old - let him be a horse first! Isley Is going to be jealous XD -- anyway, thank you guys for beoing welcoming to me re-entering the games and sharing my personal life!
