Soo many to choose from! D:
I'll go with my first favorite, hah! When I discovered HP and realized that there were other players around my age and that we all seemed to get along from the get go. Made quite a few good friends throughout the years and it's still a fun game to play! Whoot!

Mine is fairly new, cause I've only been on HP since november of 14' but coming onto the game and seeing some old friends/players from HP and being welcomed to the site by literally everyone. Was awesome. :)

My favorite memory was when I first joing HP after playing HL for years and then leaving when things got bad I was sad that I would not have a game to play. I then discovered HP and was super excited to get involved.

My favorite memories... oh gosh there are so many!

♥ Googling "sim game like old horseland", finding a yahoo page suggestion this page, and JOINING!  I was so stoked to find a place that was just like my old favorite Sim game!
♥ Getting my first horse to 2 million points!  
♥ Getting my first horse on rankings!
♥ My very first chat party (and lets be honest, every single one since then).
♥ BINGO!!
♥ Participating in the first mascot contest, and winning the 2nd!
♥ Becoming part of the mod team!
♥ Secret Santa!!
♥ Easter Egg Hunt
♥ The Cash Shop finally opening!
♥ And pretty much everything else.....  I love this game!

Everything! But mostly the day that I googled "SIM game like the old Horseland" and found HP. As soon as I logged in, everyone was so welcoming and wonderful!

:)

Also the day that I joined the mod team. The saddest memory is having to step back from the team when life got out of hand. :(

I'm another of those with loads to choose from!

Some are:

The excitement of the buildup on Horseland Members Forum, when Sam first posted she was working on the site. 

The actual opening of this place!

****AWESOME PLAYERS****

Being able to train high-pointed horses and dogs. I used to think 30,000 was really high (on HL it was), and I was so happy when some of my draught horses got onto the rankings list! I still have a screenie of it!

Making my first $1m which took me forever to do on HL.

The New Game issues with bugs all over the place and shows not running!

Past-player Nonentity, telling me Sam had added GSDs to HP! I quickly checked the breed list to see if anyone had bought some already, and none existed! So I quickly bough a pair and got them into training. They were the foundation my still-going 'Silent Hill'-themed line!

Every time my first pair of GSDs reached "landmark" points, and especially when I got the first 1m-pointerd GSD on the game!

My run as GSD Club president which lasted almost a year.

Player Heaven Tonight selling upgrades for 5 MILLION!!!!1111

My Shires doing amazeballs well.

Several of my 'Silent Hill' dogs hitting big points during training.

The Mascot Contest in which I joined Team Awesomesauce to train Everso Saucy!!

All the fun and DRAMAZ in Chat. Intense and Spokane Falls, anyone?

My first $1b

ALL THE THINGS!!

Seeing the links EVERYWHERE on HL after the change and finally deciding to try it! 

Feeling rich because of how much the bank paid every week!

Getting my graphics going finally!

Starting my Andies! 

Talking to the AMAZING players every day! 

The feeling when you put up a new layout! 

The hundreds of times HP chat had my dying laughing!

I'm pretty new to HP, but I played the old HL for years. I never even knew there was a new game like HL out there. I quit HL when all of the changes started and therefore didn't have any game to play for awhile. My best memory was finding HP (finally!) and seeing how friendly everyone was. The staff and other players are all so friendly and welcoming. Not to mention all of the fun little contests and games that are always going on!

I know my first time logging on here after seeing links by others on HL. (I hadn't played on there actively for about 4 years and just logged on once in a while to see how wacked out it was getting.) I was like...it's horseland...!!! *squeeeeeeeeeee* I hadn't expected to find something so similar cuz I had already been disappointed by howrse and equiverse. 

 

Recently, my greatest accomplishments have been:

 

- my 10th generation MFT's hit 2mill pts. 

 

- my 4th generation Malamutes hit 2mill pts. 

 

- 1 billion dollars in moolah. 

 

- 100 million pps. 

 

- resurrecting my old BMD lines that died a couple years ago. 

 

 

 

And just having the money and the time to play!! at 12-13 I wasn't rich enough to hardly keep one HL upgrade going. XP

So many things.

Making friends with so many people, many who moved on but I still talk to.  (Here's looking at you: Lake, Lemur, Vamp...)

Getting the winning bid on Glambaby and being so shocked and honoured to be a part of the (then) best Morgan lines on the game.

Being entrusted to continue the Glam lines... and the amazing GB himself

Coming to HP after Stubb had passed away and literally everyone being so supportive as I just sat and cried and didn't know what to do.

The support for the Stubb project.  So many people helping and being wonderful throughout it.  His picture, when bell first sent it to me, and it BREATHED.

The moment he hit top horse.  I didn't even think he'd hit ten mill...  I think his goal was seven?  LOL.

All of the support in chat and messages after I left my ex and honestly needed friends, and so many stepped up to be there for me.

And most recently, the labs doing amazing!!

I havent been on here majorly long but I think: 

 

Joining was definately one I looked up Horse Sim Games and found this one. I have met old friends from HL and lots of new ones that I am so thrilled about.

Getting a good amount of lines going and keeping to them.

Getting my 1st 2miller Dog

 

Yep I think that about Sims it up

So I joined HP back in 2009 but for whatever reason I didn't stick with it. It's only been within the past year or so that I really got into thanks to some of my dear old HL friends who are pretty involved here. One of my best memories is realizing that this was the kind of game I had been looking for. I tried other games but I missed the simplicity of HL where I could just train for points and work on my lines. Other games that I tried got into genetics but that required more time than I was willing to put into them. This game is perfect for me in that if I wanted to, I could only log on once a week and train and be done with it. And sometimes that's what I need when I'm overwhelmed with life, work, school, etc. Sorry, this has turned into more of a "why I love HP" post than a "my favorite memory" post! I would also like to say that I find the entire HP community very welcoming even for someone like me who is not the most involved. All the awesome people on this game is why it's so great!

There are a bunch of things I can post here but most of all I have made some amazing friends along the way including 3 people that I would call my bestfriends 

And of course when Overture and I worked on Khaleesi and with the help of our good friends got her to 7mill and having her land the 7th spot on top dogs list :)

edit: going to have to fix this since MORE THEN HALF. Of my post has vanished...

after edit:
started in 09 going strong with some super awesome aqh's life happened in '10 (the kid was born) and stuck through till '12? ended up quiting for some reason or another (im sure i have the old update of it somewhere) and gave my lines away.
fast forward to '14 and IM BACK with aqh again. I want to thank tronic for getting me a foal that contained ALL of my old lines for a meer 5mill (i would have emptied my bank account for it, sshh!)

The ever wonderful JD for welcoming me back with open arms and motivating me to restart my aqh lines. I know pretty much have ALL the old time big hitters in my lines woohoo!

oh and all the wonderful old time chat drama. that is always fun. too bad we have managed to only have mature players rejoin our ranks. Im sure the mods would have a blast once again playing with the ban hammer :)
