Hello all.
I'm primagina. Once upon a time, I played HAJINC on the Beta test run. I was wondering if it was still around, all these years later, so I popped in for a while.
It is completely unrecognizable to me! Also very cool to see how much it has grown.#272774

I'm so excited to join this group! I can't stay away! I love horses and have owned one since I was a little girl. I joined in the end of June, so I didn't know if I was supposed to be a part of their group or this one since I just got to the objective telling me to join a group. So far I am loving this game!

Hello, I am Silverglitter17. I'm new to HAJ. Nice to meet you :)
How long have you liked horses? Since I was little.
Why did you join HAJ? I joined HAJ because I want to get back into playing games where I can breed, without the stress of having to maintain my account 24/7.
What kind of pets do you own? Horses, cattle, dogs, cats & chooks.
Looking for new friends? Let us know! Of course! I'd like to chat with someone and I'd also like to get game tips.
What is something you are confused about with the game? Herd Helper. How do I share my herd helper with people? I have 15 creates left with it and I only have 90hb. Also, I can't do anything with the small amount of money I have left. Someone help me please?
Coke or Pepsi? Neither, I don't drink soft drink. -

I was a Howrse player but got bored with all the clicking and getting nowhere. I saw a link to this game and figured why not. Crossing my fingers that this one is better. I'm house-bound and bored. Always loved horses. I have an albino parakeet. I'm always looking for new friends. I only drink tea.

Hi LightninBug! Welcome! Like boredaf says, on this game, patience is a virtue, but you can still have tons of fun and learn stuff along the way! I've been playing since 2008 (I think!) and still love it, and there are people who have been along from the start!

Hi all, new here.
Have liked horses forever - I rode saddlebreds until college, and worked thoroughbreds during my undergrad. I’m finishing my PhD now, but the area is super pricey for horses so I’ve been out of the saddle for the last 6 years. Next month my lab is moving to Texas A&M so I’m hoping I can find the opportunity again (: .
I joined because I enjoy horses and work in genetics, I have an Australian shepherd named Mako and some snakes, I would love new friends, not too confused about anything yet (but don’t hold your breath I’m sure I’ll run into a wall soon), and I don’t really drink coke or Pepsi. I used to like Wild Cherry a lot though so Pepsi can take the win here. -
@grimrie Oh, what kind of snakes do you have? Ball pythons? Corn snakes? I LOVE snakes :D
I also ride Saddlebreds!I’m autistic and I struggle with any kind of communication, so I apologize in advance if I say anything rude or offensive because there’s a 99% chance that I have no clue I did it. I appreciate your patience with me! -
Hey everyone! I'm really excited to start playing! Any advice on the best ways to start out in the game?
-
Hi welcome to the game. I'm not sure if I should respond here or in a separate thread but...
1. Create a bunch of horses, auction anything under 8k lifetime payout, sell anything under 300 points for half the lifetime payout, geld/spay and keep the ones over 300 (400 later on).
2. Keep a small breeding stock, no more than one horse per 3 gelded show ponies.
3. Only use exceptionally perfect and exceptional producers for your breeding stock.
4. Choose a single stallion for stud.
5. Covet rank special creates, pick a few breeding mares and sell the rest (it takes a bit of time to learn which ones are actually worth something but better safe than sorry)
6. Make careful use of your starting horsebucks they run out quick and don't come easily after that.
7. Read these posts https://www.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/27151/attn-new-players-want-to-know-how-to-make-money-to-support-your-hj-habit#Item_38
https://www.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/41800/new-member-let-me-give-you-150-000-hbs#Item_203
8. Read the FAQ (located under resources on the left side of a computer screen, not sure about on a phone)
9.Only breed foundation to foundation, 2nd gen to 2nd generation and so on. Otherwise they will only be good for showing not selling/breeding.
X. Fail. I'm joking but really the community here is awesome and more than willing to help out if you're struggling.
Additional suggestions: Get the basic upgrade either through game money or real as soon as possible. Haunt the 'games and giveaways' thread like an OCD ghost. Be upstanding in all your interactions the game has a semi cooperative element.

@Nightphoenix I keep ball pythons and Brazilian rainbow boas! Though I'm only taking one on the move to Texas. I live in Florida now where they thrive (especially the finicky BRBs), and the cold snap in Texas this year worried me enough to hand them off to a herping friend here before I go.
And Saddlebreds, in all their quirky glory, have a very special place in my heart. I do miss dragon riding. (;Thanked by 1Nightphoenix -

I just found this thread so I will introduce myself now.
I found this game through a social media advertisement. I was not looking for a new horse related game since I have played them all and assumed this was the same. This one is definitely different but there is a huge learning curve. I have no idea what the point is and how to produce good stock. Or even what qualifies as “good.”
I have two miniature horses and two Arabians here at home. As well has two Jack Russell terriers and a hand full of chickens. I would love to meet people but don’t know how to follow farms to keep up with anyone. And sitting in a chat group to meet people is just not possible with my busy schedule. -
Good is based on breeding papers and genes, high papers produce higher PT foals which means more money from showing ( these show ponies are gelded) Good breeding stock is well papered comparision tests superior to their same gender parent colt to sire filly to dam. Genes are also important but that's very subjective. Some people like fantasy some like only realistic, some like liver, some like appy, *shrug* their aren't really any guidelines for that except that most people love satin.
As for meeting people, that will happen as you trade and engage in givaways and showing off foals. There isn't a follow feature that I'm aware, just comment on peoples foals and be upstanding in your trades and you'll find plenty of friends.Licensed for:

Hi @SouthernJess85! Yep, it is a huge learning curve, and it can get really frustrating to start out. It's a 'catch 22' to keep everything simple and fun, and to keep those of us who have been around for over a decade interested at the same time.
I would suggest just keeping it simple for the first couple of months. Breed a couple of foals, and build up your showhoardherd. You have several foals that could be good, but it's going to take several game years before they are going to make you any money. You also have 19 intact horses, and 8 spayed or gelded horses and 6 of those are foals. In contrast, I have (on the account I play, on the Forest server) 3690 show horses, and 355 breeding horses (some of those are mares I only use as surrogates for embryos, so they don't really count). I am making 423,286Hbs every single night at rollover.
I've added you to my chat room and have 2 horses for sale for you, that will really help with your nightly showing bonus.Post edited by ConfluenceStable at 2021-08-20 15:07:15

@ConfluenceStable, thank you for your generous gift. So it seems we want gelded/spayed offspring then? I thought they were more of a consolation prize for bad breeding choices. I think I understand a little better the statement in the general Q&A now. Thank you.

Does Gelding a horse increase there show ability
-
Hi, @amundsonmelissa2! This server isn't actually accepting new players right now. Since you took over someone elses account the achievements won't work like they do for a brand new account. Plus, this is the July 2021 Discussion group! :P :)
But, to answer your question, yes, spaying and gelding increases the horses training 'ability'.Post edited by ConfluenceStable at 2022-07-28 15:23:07

I've been off and on HJ for decades now.....Suncat is my newest stable.
Love the pace of the game...I get to jump on and off as I have time.
Had horses most of my life, now with life changes, I have a couple of Guinea Pigs and Finches.
Have a great day!Thanked by 1ConfluenceStable -
Been playing for a while. Have had horses my whole life. Not sure what I'm doing though. Haha.
