Eldrea (#676), our lovely across the pond neighbor!

...Community Chatter...

"Breathtaking graphics and an amazing person!"

...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 first heard about HP way back in maybe 2010/2011, through HorseLand, a few people mentioned it but I didn't end up joining until a few years after HL's shutting down.

2. What is your favorite thing about HP?
Honestly probably the friends I've made here, it's nice to get along with people who have common interests.

3. How long have you been playing for?
Since 2019, or that's what my original account states! Could have been earlier, but I have taken a major role in playing recently.

4. How did you come up with your player name?
My wonderful friend Irishii helped me pick it! I wanted something short and unique.

5. What is your favorite breed of horse or dog to train?
I've got quite a few breeds honestly but I'd have to say Marwari's are my favourite, since my project mare was a Marwari and is currently the highest pointed of her breed!

6. What caused you to pick the breed(s) you train and breed?
I honestly don't know. I think at the time they weren't (and I guess still aren't) that popular, and I was always a warmblood girl. But I didn't really connect with Dutchies like I did with Irish Sport Horses.

7. How do you come up with names for your animals?
I wanted to create the highest pointed Marwari on game so ended up picking up more Marwari's. And for my Gypsy Vanners I have always loved them and used to train them on Horseland too!

8. What are your current goals on HP?
Sell art, become friends with more people!

9. Do you have a favorite animal? (It can be your own or another player’s you admire!)
I don't think I have a favourite animal other than my Synergy #408499 she was my first ever high pointed horse, and I'm quite proud of her end goal considering she was a store bought 0 pointer!

10. Who’s your go-to graphic artist or coder? Are there any services you offer?
Uta and Irishii for art, 100%!
For coding I've always loved Mango and Trig's simplistic looking coding and would love something from them at some point!
As for my own I currently only offer graphics :)

11. What is your favorite Site-Wide yearly event?
I've not really been super active until this year so I'm not too sure what events are about, so far I've loved watching the mascot competition, it's nice to see so many people joining together to achieve their goals!

12. What other contests or activities do you usually participate in?
I haven't really participated in any contests as of yet, but I do sometimes do the weekly activities admins post (if they're considered activities?)

13. Do you have any training or breeding tips to share?
I can't say I do honestly, I just take my time with it.

14. Which seasonal layout art is your favorite?
Definitely spring or summer.

15. If you could change one thing about HP, what would it be and why?
Maybe add a few more ways players can earn HPD/HPB, sometimes it can be hard to earn money to train if you can't provide any services to gain additional money. Or maybe small rewards for weekly training, to make it so newer players have a reason to continue training animals without losing all their money for it?

16. What do you spend most of your time on HP doing?
Either training or lurking around in chat!

17. What is your favorite Club?
I'd probably say graphic & coding club!

~...Real Life & Random Questions...~
1. Where are you from?
England!

2. Does your place of residence have any sort of quirky history fact or legend/tradition, and if so, what is it?
