Congratulations to our February's Player Spotlight Winner!

Lacey!

Lacey (#48220), is one super sweet dedicated player!

...Community Chatter...

These little shout-outs come from various players, not just staff!
"Lurking in the shadows, yet churning out amazing animals and lines. I'm always so inspired to start a breed or two to emulate them, yet know I will never be able to compete!"
"She's so sweet and kind in Chat. Has some amazing lines!"

...Interview Questions...

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

~...HP Questions...~
1. How did you first learn about us?
* I found out about through HP by way of HL and came over with the masses.

2. What is your favorite thing about HP?
* I love that there isn't a set way to play this game. You can decide to be a trainer and chase points, you can opt to build lineage/generations, be a friendly neighbor in the chats, be a graphic artist/coder, any combination of what you prefer.

3. How long have you been playing for?
* I joined HP in 2009, but began playing sims in 2001 with my original account on HL #429546

4. How did you come up with your player name?
* For the longest time I went by Kiazt, which was a result of trying to type my real-life name on the keyboard by using my elbows. Then I switched to `LC, which evolved to Lacey.

6. What caused you to pick the breed(s) you train and breed?
* Good NIGHT I have so many breeds and enjoy each of them for various reasons. The Spotted Saddle Horse and Tennessee Walkers are always a favorite due to their significant importance in my real life. The Kabarda is a forever favorite because of their history in real life along with my history wih them in sims (my main line of them are named after Schitt's Creek, one of my favorite shows!), and I'm obsessed with Przewalski Horses due to my extensive studying and researching of them while going after my undergrad. Their genetics are so crucial to a working timeline plus I love their short stout little selves.

7. How do you come up with names for your animals?
* I like to use themes like many fellow HPers

8. What are your current goals on HP?
* This year I'm working on smaller projects (3m ponies). In real life I am doing a huge shift into focusing on my RL show string.

9. Do you have a favorite animal? (It can be your own or another player’s you admire!)
* There are so many horses over the years that have stood out to me. Neke's Stubb lines remain one of my favorites. Most recently I've enjoyed watching I Got Rhythm by Pants (although her entire MFT and Rocky line is an incredible feat to begin with), and I also enjoyed seeing BVs Alejate completely take over.

10. Who’s your go-to graphic artist or coder? Are there any services you offer?
* UTA is incredible at taking a smigin of an idea and transforming it into something to be remembered for ever. It seems to be effortless for her and I'm just in awe with everything she comes up with.

16. What do you spend most of your time on HP doing?
* Golly, I think probably making/requesting/entering private shows. I generally have 10ish "projects" going on at a time because I'm insane.

17. What is your favorite Club?
* Forever a Gaited girly

~...Real Life & Random Questions...~
1. Where are you from?
* I've lived all over really, but mostly I would refer to myself as a Texan.

3. What do you do for work?
* I am a Crime Scene Investigator

4. Do you own any horses or dogs?
* I have three horses - Beau (TWH, age 22), Maya (TB, age 23), and Trouble (TWH, age 3)

6. What are your favorite breeds of horse and dog?
* Tennessee Walker & Labrador

8. What’s your favorite color?
* Black, black, black

9. What’s your favorite Holiday or Month?
* Halloween/October

10. Do you have a favorite vacation spot? If so, what or where is it?
* Middle Tennessee has my heart

11. Do you have any special talents? If so, what are they?
* I could probably put a spreadsheet together out of any information I come across.

12. If you could own any breed of horse, what would it be and why?
* Aside from Walkers, I would love to have Missouri Fox Trotters again. I love how they are built, and their gait is incredibly comfortable. I think the breed could stand to use some great recognition and promotion.

13. If you could own any breed of dog, what would it be and why?
* The Irish Wolfhound, because why wouldn't you want a wirey horse inside?

14. If you could meet any celebrity, who would it be and why?
* BRENDAN. FRASER.

15. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?
* Crete, Greece

16. What would be your dream job?
* I have it ♡

21. What is something you fear?
* I don't much enjoy flying bugs.
