Hello all, a horselover all of my life. This looks new and different, although I think I am already confused. I have dogs,cats,horses, reptiles, and insects. Coke!

Hi Wldmstnglvr! Welcome! The game can be a bit daunting at first, but it's not hard to learn. Head over to the New Players Lounge chat room and post your questions. People pop in and out of there all the time, so someone will see your question and answer when they can.

Hi; I ve been a horse lover my entire life ; I ve had Hunter Ponies and Horses and competed in live Showing through College, I actually had a partial scholarship to collage from my riding; I am interested in this as it was advertised as free to play and I love playing with genetics and colors or breeds.

Twitchy12345 · Mar 3, 2020 6:49 AM

Hi, annismyrph! Hi, Twitchy12345! Welcome to the wonderful world of Hunt & Jump!

Annismyrph, the game is indeed free to play, and the community is SUPER friendly and helpful. The upgrades are just icing on the cake!

Twitchy, we love to see peoples artwork! Many of the tack pack picture backgrounds were created by our members! I'm still trying to get good enough to submit mine next time the call goes out for artwork!

Nanashae · Mar 3, 2020 12:01 PM

I have always loved horses. I am finally getting a chance to take riding lessons in my 40's. I tried my hand at breeding rats a few years ago and learned a tiny bit about genetics and thought this looked like an awesome way to learn more! Just trying to learn my way around and figure out what its all about.

HorseCrazy1 · Mar 3, 2020 4:58 PM

Hi everyone!

ConfluenceStable · Mar 3, 2020 6:10 PM

Hi Nanashae! Hi HorseCrazy1! Welcome to the game!

Nanashae, my best friend use to raise and sell pet ratties! She got started breeding them for the same reasons, short turn around between generations so you could see the genes in action.

I had a bunch of ratties myself, but it's been a while. I just love them!

Twitchy12345 · Mar 4, 2020 8:15 AM

hi ive loved horses my entire life and i draw horses. i had a freind that had a horse named cheif.

Twitchy12345 · Mar 4, 2020 9:00 AM

Hi, Twitchy12345! Welcome to the HJ2 side of things!

Twitchy12345 · Mar 4, 2020 10:44 AM

hi ive loved horses my whole life.

annismyrph · Mar 5, 2020 8:07 AM

I am really enjoying this and looking forward to fast generations so I can improve :)

Aloysius · Mar 5, 2020 8:53 PM

I grew up with horses but haven't had the privilege since my high school years. I really miss them. I used to play another online horse game but have gotten bored with the daily chores, lol. I found a link to this game there and thought the genetics thing was interesting. So here goes... let's see what kind of trouble I can get into.

Kaysa · Mar 6, 2020 6:30 AM

I am missing horses in my life right now and this game sounded similar to one I had enjoyed playing several years ago so I thought I’d give this a try! I’m still trying to get myself oriented, and some things I’m wondering are what scale are the performance points on, I’m guessing it’s not 1-10 based on Dorris’ impression of my horses

toottoot12345 · Mar 6, 2020 9:24 AM

Hey ive liked horses my entire life and i have had a horse in the past. his name was snowball

ConfluenceStable · Mar 6, 2020 3:36 PM

Hi Kalico, Kaysa, and toottoot12345! Welcome to the game. Let us know if you have any questions! Check out the New Players Lounge chat room when you get a chance!

annismyrph · Mar 7, 2020 2:40 AM

good morning! I too am missing the velvet nibbles ; haven't owned a horse for a while ; but thinking I might have to get one again soon!

WindsongFarms · Mar 7, 2020 3:16 PM

Hello. I'm hoping to just have fun lol nothing too serious

ConfluenceStable · Mar 7, 2020 7:09 PM

Hi annismyrph and WindsongFarms! Welcome!

annismyrph, there are a BUNCH of us that are currently 'horseless' who get our 'fix' here on H&J!

Akiak · Mar 8, 2020 12:59 PM

Hello! I have loved horses my entire life and am excited to learn how to play this game. It seems like a lot to learn, but I think the challenge will be fun. I am intrigued by the genetics and am looking forward to building an interesting herd.

ConfluenceStable · Mar 8, 2020 1:53 PM

Welcome Akiak! Stop by the New Players Lounge when you get a chance and say hi!

xWillow · Mar 9, 2020 3:25 AM

Hi!
I'm Willow and I'm new to this game. I haven't really took the time yet to understand the game, just went straight to the forum looking for a (short) tutorial.

Also, I'm not English (but Dutch), so don't mind my - probably - broken English lol.

ConfluenceStable · Mar 9, 2020 4:57 AM

Hi, Willow! Welcome to the game! We have lots of players to whom English is a second (or third, or fourth) language, so it probably won't be much of an issue. Please feel free to ask ANY questions you may have!

Triskaidekaphobia · Mar 12, 2020 12:16 PM

Hey! I will be breeding gray warmbloods. I love this game. I've been a horse-fanatic for as long as I can remember. Greys are my favorites. It's fascinating to me how a dark foal transforms into a beautiful white horse!

MollyOwen18 · Mar 12, 2020 3:47 PM

HI, just starting to explore. I'm really interested in genetics so looking forward to rolling the dice a few times.

MollyOwen18 · Mar 12, 2020 3:49 PM

Is this where I post for the achievemtn task bonus?

MollyOwen18 · Mar 12, 2020 3:59 PM

Ooop, hey, me again. Mission is to get as many different real life colours as possible.

ConfluenceStable · Mar 12, 2020 4:10 PM

LOL! Yes, this is the place. Welcome to the game! Ask any questions you might have, we love to help new people get started!

MollyOwen19 · Mar 13, 2020 2:34 AM

Oh dear, I'm a bit clumsy. Keep commenting in the wrong place!

MollyOwen19 · Mar 13, 2020 2:36 AM

Hi, I'm still struggling to get that extra dolla for commenting

MollyOwen19 · Mar 13, 2020 2:38 AM

PLeased so far!!

Whistlejacket · Mar 13, 2020 4:37 PM

Hi everyone. I found myself missing 'old school' sim horse games, so I'm glad to find this one! I'm Virelai, I'm English, very good at getting emotionally attached to pixel ponies and absolutely useless at adulting.
I'm currently staying on an arab stud on holiday and it's really reminding me how much I used to love arabs as a child... so I'm imagining that my pixel riding and sport ponies will have a strong arabian influence. My aim is to focus on performance and show winners first, and play with colour along the way. Look forward to playing with you all!

TalkHorsesToMe · Mar 13, 2020 4:49 PM

Hello everyone! I used to play a good while ago but lost all my info in a computer crash. I want to breed chestnuts again. Love the reds!

Molly1993 · Mar 15, 2020 3:24 PM

Hey, I'm going to breed looooads fo cobs!

ConfluenceStable · Mar 15, 2020 7:37 PM

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Hunt & Jump! Let us know if you have any questions, and keep an eye on the forum, there's usually a game or contest, or giveaway to help you out with fun and prizes!

BlackTears · Mar 16, 2020 3:07 PM

Here, I will breed black horses. I just haven't yet decided if I want to breed cobs or riding horses. Decisions, decisions...

CrowsnestRidge · Mar 20, 2020 7:23 PM

Hello everyone, I'm also a long-time horse enthusiast, currently giving this a try while lacking in real-life horses. I only vaguely remember punnett squares so we'll see how this goes!

ConfluenceStable · Mar 21, 2020 9:07 AM

Welcome Cobalt329! Let us know if you have any questions!

Wytche · Mar 22, 2020 12:11 PM

I'm hoping this game will make it easier to get by while we all practice social distancing. I want to breed pintaloosa cobs. I lost my girl some time ago and really miss her. This will be a way of celebrating her memory and keeping me sane.

SarahLee · Mar 23, 2020 8:51 PM

I've been involved in horses forever and finally caved to a Facebook add because I'm bored out of my mind in quarantine. I'm interested to see how this plays out. I was excited to create horses and spent all my money and now I just get to sit around lol.

ConfluenceStable · Mar 24, 2020 6:26 AM

There are a bunch of things you can do once you've gotten past that first splurge! Check out the search page, go peek in at other people's barns, play around with tack, find a contest on the forum! Or just stop by a chat room and say hi!

Julian · Mar 25, 2020 8:13 PM

Ahoy!

I used to be a big Horselander, back in the day, so when an ad for H&J came across my feed it hit a nostalgic note. Not really the same thing (I learned all my HTML and Photoshop skills on Horseland) but I'm finding it interesting so far. Looking forward to getting around to the next breeding cycle and seeing what I can get.

DragnFly · Mar 25, 2020 10:06 PM

Welcome all newbies!

SmokyShadows · Mar 26, 2020 9:37 AM

Secondary account just for black arabians. I am so addicted to this game!

BaleFyre · Mar 26, 2020 10:46 AM

I had registered under the name BlackMinx but it wouldn't let me sign into the forum so I deleted the account. I lost money there, but luckily it wasn't much. So anyway, here I am again. I'll be breeding a line based solely on the Blackest Night Herd Helper. That's my goal anyway.

ConfluenceStable · Mar 26, 2020 6:07 PM

Oo! BaleFyre! Do you also have the SimplyBJ account? I sent a PM to catch up with you about the cash you lost out on!

ElseB · Mar 28, 2020 5:23 AM

Hi everyone,

I've been playing similar games but those were timeconsuming and didn't have a large active member group anymore. Excited to figure out this game. Been a horselover all my life, rode horses for 12 years, currently not because it doesn't fit with my busy job at the moment but hoping to start horse riding somewhere in the near future again.

ElseB · Mar 28, 2020 7:18 AM

Hi everyone,

Wanted to say hi, excited to start this game!

Thanks!

ConfluenceStable · Mar 28, 2020 8:13 AM
