~...HP Questions...~
1. How did you first learn about us?
Like many other players, I am a transplant from HS days. I joined HP in early 2010.

2. What is your favorite thing about HP?
There are a lot of things that I love about HP, but my favorite would probably be the creativity each player can have.
One of my favorite things to do is look at the creativity of other player’s whether its their layouts, animal lined names…etc.

3. How long have you been playing for?
I’ve been a member since 2010, but took several breaks between then and 2019. But, I’m back!

4. How did you come up with your player name?
When I started out on HP I’m pretty sure I went through several names, until I landed on Flirtatious. One dream I have is to breed my own Warmblood baby in real life. That baby, regardless of gender, will be named Flirtatious as a registered name and Flirty as a barn name.

5. What is your favorite breed of horse or dog to train?
My favorite breed of dog to train is the Dachshund. I really loved training Belgian Warmbloods, but alas they are no longer on the game.

6. What caused you to pick the breed(s) you train and breed?
I breed Dachshunds because I’ve owned them my whole life. They are the silliest, most stubborn, and loyal breed. I currently am breeding Hanoverians since that is the breed of my current horse.

7. How do you come up with names for your animals?
Currently my animals are named after country songs or songs from my favorite country artists. We have lines based on Morgan Wallen songs and Koe Wetzel.

8. What are your current goals on HP?
Current goals would be to get my Hanoverians to 2 million points! These lines are a tribute to my current boy.

9. Do you have a favorite animal? (It can be your own or another player’s you admire!)

10. Who’s your go-to graphic artist or coder? Are there any services you offer?
There are so many great artists! I love Aeon’s coding. The only service I offer is upgrades.

11. What is your favorite Site-Wide yearly event?
Mascot contest.

12. What other contests or activities do you usually participate in?
I LOVE the mascot contest! And I try to actively participate in club contests.

13. Do you have any training or breeding tips to share?
I personally don’t, and I am always looking for some!

14. Which seasonal layout art is your favorite?
Definitely fall!

15. If you could change one thing about HP, what would it be and why?
I wish we could have a breed specialty for both horses and dogs on one account.

Training!
