Hello!

Hello, nice to meet you all!

Hi Mackenzecutler19! Welcome to the game! Hi DarkFate! Welcome. We'd love to see some of your art, if you would like to share.

Hi, SugarLanding! Let us know if you have any questions. Things can seem pretty overwhelming to start!

Hi Ember! Welcome to the game. We are in the middle of our Summer Gift Exchange, so things are a bit hectic right now, but in a GOOD way! :)

What’s the difference of the currency and the points? I see I get points from the shows? What do I use those for?

Oh cool. That makes sense. Thank you!

So funky! I love her :x

Ohhh. Thank you so much!

I actually did it twice. Dang.

I’ve heard using mobile can sometimes be tricky about account switching. I think maybe if you have to make sure all your tabs are closed from one account in order to log into another.

Did it work now?

How long do y’all go between checking the game? I found it on a fb ad yesterday and haven’t been able to put it down. I’m wondering if I’m missing something or if I just gotta be patient while starting out xD

Welcome to Hunt & Jump addicts anonymous, @chilli! Some of us check in several times a day, and some folks just pop in every couple of days. We've had people who got pulled away by real life stuff and couldn't sign on for a month or more, and they are able to just start right up again. That's part of what makes this game so nice!

Hey @chilli ! Be sure to post in this thread for a little extra cash to get you started!

I started playing April 2020 but there are some players here that have been playing since the beginning which was over 14 years ago! It's a great community of people and a low stress, fun, rewarding game with a bonus of teaching you a lot about RL genetics.

I breed dark red based (ee, sty/sty DP/DP) riding horses with a sprinkle of fantasy genes. Here are a few of my favorites foundations!

LH1 Now Sparkle

This last girl was a gift from the most recent gift exchange (which is also a ton of fun!) She is my new absolute favorite and will be getting a few other goodies (most definitely satin) soon!

I made a bunch of mates so I could breed some new foals. I wanted more chimeras. And look what I got in the first goal I checked! Thanks so much for helping me out. This is so exciting.

You have to buy extra barns. You can either save up your HBs and buy them that way, or you can pay real life money. Go to the Upgrades section on the left side menu to check out the prices.

Hello! I’m brand new, started today.

I’ve loved horses since I was a kid, but could never afford to own my own. I’ve taken lessons and ridden trails but that’s it. I would love to have my own horses, but that will take time.

I am a veterinary technician and love my job. I work in an ER/ICU at a specialty hospital and see all sorts of cases. I don’t often get to see puppies and kittens like I did when I worked in a general practice but I love the challenge of emergency work.

We own a sanctuary farm and have goats, pigs, chickens and turkeys. We also have three dogs, Norah (rescued Black Mouth Cur mix, dark brindle, 6yo and always getting into things), Pru (rescued Chow x American Bulldog mix, tan with white markings, 2yo and my love) and Magnolia (5mo Great Pyrenees); a rescue tabby cat Sage who is 11yo and the best girl; a rescued bearded dragon named Tarni & last but not least a rescued rabbit named Peanut.

Some things I’m having trouble figuring out in the game:
- how to breed
- how to earn HBs
- how to determine which horses are worth keeping and which are worth selling

Thank you for reading!

All my love,
CypressHollow

Welcome CypressHollow! It sounds like you have a TON of real life critters to keep you busy! Fortunately, this game allows for 'busy real life', and if you miss a day or so there won't be a huge impact on your barn!

Let us know if you have any questions! Chilli has been asking some really good ones, so far! If you don't have a problem with larger groups, feel free to post on the forum, too. That way more people can see your questions and you may find someone who was too shy to ask and will be really grateful!

This lady might be my best creation yet. She’s so beautiful. I’m scared of testing her and have her spayed.

Ohhh! Twice a week. That makes way more sense now haha.
Thank you for explaining again :))

Chilli, if you hover your cursor over the gene name on the horses main page it tells you what the gene does. If you click the gene (the underlined part) it takes you to the gene description page.

Hello. I'm Ren and I'm a 3D character/creature artist and illustrator for video games and animation.
I've been around horses all my life and rode competitively from 8 years old to about 20. I am a C2-HB certified member of the USPC and mostly competed in eventing, dressage, and jumpers with my bay dun mustang x thoroughbred. I still have him, but we mostly just play around now as he's 22 years old (don't tell him that though). I also have a quarter horse mare but she's mostly a pasture ornament due to irreconcilable differences in our opinions on her attitude, lol. I also have a dog, a newfoundlandx??? or something - basically just a big doof. He's a rescue and he's the goodest boy, thank you very much.

I've always been obsessed with horse coat colors and in my freshman year of college I finally sat down to learn the logic of their genetics. I've been hooked ever since and nearly changed majors as a result. I'm glad I stuck to what I'm doing though. I can find ways to include my interests in a creative environment. This also coming from the fact that I almost went to vet school but decided against it in favor of art. All that context informs pretty much all of my personal projects now. I joined the game a couple of weeks ago and it's feeding my addiction to equine genetics.

My other hobbies include paleoart, reading, writing, and probably more than I'm currently recalling. My interests vary wildly. Feel free to contact me -- I can be a bit asocial at times (read: quiet, lurking), but I'm friendly and I promise I don't bite all that often.

I have a few questions about the game that I've come across and I may bring them up at some point as they occur to me. Currently, I'm wondering how horse shows are technically judged? What measurable factors determine the outcome of a horse show? I know it's related to Performance Test scores and the subsequent acquisition of points in training. So that's another question I have. When training, how are levels of the horse determined? (I do understand if my question about the rules dictating the outcome of horse shows goes unanswered -- the mystery allows for a sense of an uncertain outcome and prevents game breaking min-max strategies.)

Also, breeder clubs -- when a horse gets an award for placing in a category, does that occur at the end of the year? What is the reward for placement? Is it something quantifiable (hbs, etc) or just a record?

Thank you for creating the game. There's been a great deal of effort dedicated to it, I can tell. I'm excited to see where this projects goes in the future and to start contributing to the community as I can.

What do y’all do with your different barns? Like are they themed or do you just chuck everything in where there’s room?

@Chilli, there was a really informative thread on the main forums of one of the other servers in the past couple weeks, about sorting horses into barns. I will see if I can find it.
