Hi Everyone,

I just started this game tonight. I joined because I love genetics. I've thought horses were cool all my life. I have a 10 year old tuxedo kitty named Sol. I haven't looked at the mechanics of the game yet, so everything is still a bit confusing. I'm sure I'll find a forum post for beginners when I'm done with this post. Cherry Pepsi girl all the way!

Hi everyone! I joined the game about two hours ago, and so far, I’ve pretty much got the basics down!
I’ve loved horses since I was only 2 years old. Sadly, though, I live in the city, so I can’t have a horse of my own. I visit my aunt’s house every year to help out with the farm.
This year I was supposed to start equestrian team, but now I’m stuck inside because of quarantine.
I joined HAJ because I just love horse breeding games! I play every single horse breeding game available where I live, and I hope to make some friends while here!
I have two cats, Periwinkle and Penelope, and two dogs, Belle and Ella. I just love animals!
Hope to see you soon!

Hi everyone I found this game as an add online and i decided to join because it seemed interesting i've riding horses irl since before I was born and love horses and dream of owning my horse business someday, I am also starting my first year of high school equestrian teams next year with my older sister.
I have two paints one is a palomino gelding named Dallas who absolutely gorgeous and he knows it, and the other is a chestnut mare named Mia who is literally the sweetest thing ever and Two Minis one solid buckskin gelding named Captain who is an amazing horse and one crazy little black paint mare named Kenya and I show both of them with my older sister and her three horses Max, Valencia, And Wild Girl.
I have one goat named Freddy who brown and white who's best friend is our rooster and six dogs Didi,Penny, Josie, Lizzy, And Eddie and two cat Luna and Charlie(No not after Charli D'amelio).

Hey all! Just joined, haven't had a chance to read through the full guide yet. I'm excited to try out this game because I'm interested in genetics. Also, I have a dog and a cat who I adore.

ConfluenceStable · May 6, 2020 8:01 PM

Welcome wolfyan8888, and TNgirl45! Check out the Player Support chat room if you have any questions. There is a lot to take in on this game, and that's part of what makes it so much fun!

hmfeuerb · May 8, 2020 6:50 AM

Hi. I just joined this morning! I don’t have any horses myself, but I volunteer at a rescue for retired racehorses and all of my horses here will be named after them!

Hi, hmfeuerb! Welcome! Let us know if we can help you get a good start!

annabudd · May 11, 2020 4:57 PM

Hi, I just joined because I am in search of another sim game to play, but one related to horses as I miss my horse so much during the quarantine. Hopefully I can get the hang of things and won't be asking questions 24/7 lol

ConfluenceStable · May 12, 2020 9:26 AM

Welcome, annabudd, questions and all! We are always willing to give new players a hand!

stardustgirl · May 16, 2020 4:04 PM

Hey! I've liked horses since I was a super young kid, though recently goats have started to grow on me more haha (still have a soft spot for equines though). I joined HAJ because my friend suggested I do so, and now I have accounts on all 3 servers (being bored during quarantine will do that to you I guess lol). I have a goat and a dog, and I take care of a herd of other goats at my school (they hate my goat though haha and I own her versus I just take care of the others so she's the only one with me in quarantine). As for Coke vs Pepsi, I actually don't really like either much! I'm more of a hot chocolate person~

ConfluenceStable · May 16, 2020 8:16 PM

Welcome, Stardustgirl! Let us know if you have any questions! We are eager to help out new folks.

daylightjoy · May 17, 2020 5:40 AM

Hi! I've loved horses since I was a kid, and I've been riding for about five years! Unfortunately I don't have a horse of my own (someday :) !) but I ride as much as possible (besides right now because of quarantine). I've played this game before (years ago) but lost my old account so I'm starting fresh! Probably won't play that much as I have tons of schoolwork to do during the day, but thought it might be a fun way to pass time during quarantine!

ConfluenceStable · May 17, 2020 9:54 AM

Welcome back daylightjoy!

annabudd · May 17, 2020 12:33 PM

So, with the Daily Herd Helper, there is usually a rank and star next to each of them. Is there a guide anywhere that explains the ranks?

ConfluenceStable · May 17, 2020 7:22 PM

There is a list, but I can't find the link! I'll keep looking......

LadyhawkeStables · May 17, 2020 7:35 PM

It's under Member Home > Account and Stable Management > My Herd Helper Collection! I use it as a reference all the time!

WitchwaterAcres · May 18, 2020 7:51 AM

Hey folks!

I've had horses for almost my whole life and currently have one at a boarding barn. I also have a dog that lives with my parents, and a parrot.

I actually found this game on Facebook and I was surprised to see something that wasn't just a bad story-based app centered around relationship drama.

I look forward to looking through the community to see if I can get questions answered!

ConfluenceStable · May 18, 2020 4:47 PM

Welcome OscarWildin! We're always up for answering questions!

PresqueVu · May 22, 2020 10:00 AM

I'm sure I'm going to have lots of questions. I love the genetics twist. I can't wait to figure this out. If I can figure it out. It looks more complicated than my usual game on Howrse.

KittyPeri14 · May 22, 2020 10:07 AM

Welcome @PresqueVu! It’s always nice to see another Howrse player!

Elana · May 26, 2020 10:13 AM

Hi! I just joined yesterday. I’ve loved horses since I was a kid but have never really had The opportunity to be around them much IRL. I’m an author of fantasy novels, and I’m naming all my horses after characters in my stories.

I worked through a bunch of the achievements and am getting comfortable with the game mechanics, but I’ve still got a few questions. What time is the daily payment for your show horses made? And is there somewhere that details exactly how the amount relates to the points they have? I used up all my initial HBs and I’m eager to earn more so I can breed more horses.

Thanks!

ConfluenceStable · May 26, 2020 3:01 PM

ConfluenceStable · May 28, 2020 2:33 PM

Welcome BuckskinBeauties17! Let us know if you have any questions. The game covers SO much information that it can be overwhelming

I ve been riding horses most of my life ; I love genetics and am happy there is a place that you can do it without adding to the pet over population issues

PsychoCowgrl · May 30, 2020 7:58 PM

Hi. My name is Kelsa. I love horses.

How long have you liked horses? Always.
Why did you join HAJ? To learn about genetics and have online horses.
What kind of pets do you own? 1 cat, Tom Petty.
Looking for new friends? Let us know! Yes.
What is something you are confused about with the game? Making Money.
Coke or Pepsi? Coke.

KittyPeri14 · May 30, 2020 8:04 PM

Welcome @PsychoCowgrl! Feel free to ask questions at any time either in the Player Support buddy chat or in the forum. There is a FAQ user guide accessible via the sidebar.

As for your question on how to make money, some people create horses and pop them in the auction for some quick cash. Remember, you get a “weekly allowance” every Sunday of 5k hbs, so look forward to that!

ConfluenceStable · May 31, 2020 6:54 AM

Hi PsychoCowgrl! Welcome to the game. KittyPeri14 made some great suggestions for earning money, I just wanted to add that, in the long run, a herd of show horses will be the best way to finance your barns. The general recommendation is that you need 3 show horses for every one breeding horse in your barn. It's long term, but it is the surest way to have a steady income.

Oceangirl · May 31, 2020 7:04 AM

Michae · May 31, 2020 8:42 PM

How long have you liked horses?I've always liked horses but what got me into that was when I went on a horseback trail ride through the Australian Rainforest,although keeping the horses from taking snacks from things that weren't good for them took some doing.
Why did you join HAJ?Because i was looking for a decent horse game after I was serious dissatisfied with what I found online.
What kind of pets do you own?2 dogs which we love. We also used to keep a cat as well,but the fact they they went roaming every night in the middle of the Australian bush caused too much heartbreak so we had to stop that.
Looking for new friends? I'm always looking for good friends.
What is something you are confused about with the game?NNot much,although the HB's seem slow to start at first,but for me I've always liked to start out slow and build up.
Coke or Pepsi?Pepsi-Max always,as my array of empties are looking at me..

CheshireFarms · Jun 1, 2020 6:54 AM

Hello for Florida!

Greetings y'all, I haven't been around a Horse Game in a VERY long time. I used to play all day and every day while I was in school, I went by Bara of Celtic Rose, and later JNFerrigno and Cheshire Farms. I've played them all, and did art for some. And with Covid around and being on Furlough, I'm looking for something to do to keep my sanity. So this is me, just putzing around seeing what I can and can't do with this game, and just relaxing.

ConfluenceStable · Jun 1, 2020 4:28 PM

Welcome, CheshireFarms! If we can help you out, let us know! We are very in to putzing and relaxing!

Denotice · Jun 2, 2020 11:00 PM

A bit late posting here but ah well, oops! I joined not too long ago and have been loving the game. I've been horse crazy my whole life. I used to own but sadly my life has moved in a way that makes real horses unfeasible right now so I fill the void with games like this! I have two crazy kitties and a bunch of aquatic snails (hey, I think they're cute lol). I always thought genetics were cool when I was younger so it will be fun learning about them as I play. :) The thing that confuses me most about the game still is picking who to geld/spay and keep as show horses versus selling or breeding. Such hard choices!

LadyLesednik · Jun 2, 2020 11:10 PM

Hey, a bit late to posting as well. Nice to meet all of you! Same, Denotice. The one horse I had in real life was a medically needy rescue that unfortunately didn't last long after I got her. I adored her, and I hope to have horses again. But at the moment I don't even have a fenced yard.

Vyraal · Jun 3, 2020 2:32 AM
