Hello everyone! I'm not used to gaming of any kind so this is all new to me. Thanks for allowing me to play along. I've loved horses my entire life and have owned at least one since I was 2 years old!

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 3, 2022 8:37 AM

Hi Lissa! Welcome to the game. I'm with you, I don't play any other type of games, but I've played this one since 2008! Let us know if you have any questions, and keep an eye out on the forum for giveaways and contests!

Tarma · Feb 3, 2022 5:46 PM

I'm not good at this so I'll just answer the questions.

1) Since I was too young to know that they weren't pretty cows that said neigh instead of moo.

2) I saw the ad on Facebook and decided to give it a try.

3) None. We very recently had to have our dog put down and I'm not ready to get another.

4) Not particularly? I'm more of a hermit.

5) How do I read my foal's pedigree? I don't understand if the ranking stats (red, blue, yellow) show up, or how if they do.

6) Coffee. Definitely coffee. And strong enough to take the chrome off a trailer hitch.

Hi Tarma! Welcome to the game. At the top of the main forum page is an announcement post titled Basic Information for New Players. Here's a link: https://mesa.huntandjump.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/4/basic-information-for-new-players#Item_19

You can also find a ton of information under the Resources category, in the FAQ/User Guide on the left menu barn towards the bottom: https://mesa.huntandjump.com/faq.php

Let me know if you have any questions about something you can't find in the guides!

SEWBentrims · Feb 7, 2022 11:44 AM

Hi! Im new to this game. I don't really play games, but this is horse related so I'm trying it out. Question, I'm missing 4 foals from my primary barn. I bred them, did all the testing, and they've been there for a couple days. I logged in today and they're gone! What happened? Does this happen? Please help me. Thanks.

SEWBentrims · Feb 7, 2022 11:54 AM

As I am new, I'm having a hard time finding how to contact an admin or support or someone? I paid for the the "unlock everything" upgrade (also includes all basic upgrade features) and I only received a couple some of the features. I even logged out and back in. Am I doing something wrong? Who can I contact? Thanks!

BentrimsRanch · Feb 8, 2022 12:42 PM

New to the game. How do I get to the Foundation Rescue to buy a horse?

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 8, 2022 2:41 PM

Hi BentrimsRanch, et. al! Welcome to Hunt & Jump!
@BentrimsRanch; To get to the Foundation Rescue do a search as Status = For Sale, and Owner ID = 13

LizzysRanch · Feb 9, 2022 2:01 PM

Hello horse friends. Love horses, I am loving this game! :)

LizzysRanch · Feb 9, 2022 2:24 PM

ok, so I am new and wondering what is the difference between rank specials and ranks 1-5?

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 9, 2022 3:27 PM

Welcome to the game LizzysRanch and Bentr1ms! Let us know if you have any questions.

Dragonmage · Feb 11, 2022 6:35 PM

I've liked horses for years and this is the first realistic horse breeding game I've seen that isn't extremely complicated in care and training for the horses.

PallasOphelia · Feb 12, 2022 12:15 PM

Hi folks! I'm new to this game, but I've been looking for a replacement for Virtual Horse Ranch for years now. This is the closest thing I've found that also seems to be a functional game. I've loved horses my whole life, but never been able to have one of my own, so I live vicariously through video games, lol. I do have one cat, who I adore.

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 12, 2022 4:06 PM

Welcome Dragonmage, and PallasOphelia! Welcome to the game. There are a bunch of us 'horseless horselovers' who use the game to replace real horses. One of the best parts of the game is that you can work with realistic colors and/or play around with the fantasy genes. You can also step away from the game for several weeks to a few months, and come back to only minor changes in your barns. The other great thing about the game is the fantastic community. If you have any questions there is always someone willing to help out.

Breezytahoe · Feb 13, 2022 8:37 AM

Hi all! I'm new here. I have been involved in horses my whole life (even with being the product of city parents). I have my own small farm here at home. Two horses, a registered paint and an OTTB (off track Thoroughbred) and a standard donkey. Three dogs, a border collie, border collie/pyr mix and a Doberman, as well as three indoor cats. I studied Equine science in college and was obsessed with color genetics, I also work in the industry (not in genetics) so between my passion and lack of time this game was right up my alley! I'm really excited to keep experimenting with what my breeding focus is going to be. So far I'm just lost in looking at all the pretty horses. Thank you for letting me be a part of this fun community!

BentrimsRanch · Feb 13, 2022 11:54 AM

Thank you to the people who make this game possible.

BentrimsRanch · Feb 13, 2022 12:02 PM

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 14, 2022 2:40 PM

Welcome Breezytahoe, and BentrimsRanch! Let us know if you need any help. The game is always changing/growing.

@Breezytahoe, the genetics part of the game is great! Ammit has even made the fantasy genes work like real genes, when she can.

EllaRoseDarkWolf · Feb 18, 2022 5:00 PM

Hello. I am new here as of today.

How long have you liked horses?
I have always loved Horses for 50 years now. My mom had one when I was 5 and I fell in love with horses then.

Why did you join HAJ?
I was surfing for new Horse games online and found your site.

What kind of pets do you own?
Sadly I do not own any cause the place I live does not allow them. I use to have a Chinchilla, very nice little guy I named Axel Roads.
Looking for new friends? Let us know!
maybe for info on how to play here.

What is something you are confused about with the game?
Just going through the FAQs to learn all I can.
Tea or Coffee?
I love Herbal Tea the best.

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 19, 2022 10:17 AM

Hi EllaRoseDarkWolf! Welcome to the game. There are tons of players who are glad to help out if you need, please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Tarma · Feb 21, 2022 5:32 PM

Is it possible to gift horses to other players? Also, how do I send a private message?

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 21, 2022 5:52 PM

The lowest you can place a horse for sale is 1HB (for newer players it may be 500HBs - I don't remember for sure). If you are going to sell a horse to another player for that price, it is recommended that you do so in a private chat room. Horses placed for sale on the main/public sales boards cannot be 'reserved' for any one person, for any reason. All horses for sale or breeding on the public boards must be available for anyone to use/buy.

To send a private message click the little envelope icon towards the top of the page, or click Inbox on the forum menu bar. Click the Start a New Conversation button and a blank box will appear for your message.

ForgedInFire · Feb 22, 2022 11:53 PM

Hi! I have young herds on the other servers too… I joined this one here for experimenting and testing different methods of herd building and I plan to eventually report on my findings.

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 23, 2022 6:03 PM

Welcome, AnonymousNobody!

Rasvangr · Feb 26, 2022 10:41 PM

Hello all! I'm currently suffering from "late onset horse girl" and I'm looking to scratch the horsey itch by trying out some online games since I'm too broke to play with real horses. I haven't played animal breeding games much since they tend to be high maintenance and over-complicated, but this one looks to have just the right amount of gameplay! Hopefully I can learn to make lots of cash and get some pretty horses. Learning about horse genetics will be right up my alley as well. I'm already a big fan of the intricacies of ball python genetics!

ConfluenceRanch · Feb 27, 2022 8:27 AM

Hi Rasvanger! Welcome! I love "late onset horse girl" syndrome! :D

One of the great things about this game is that you can be as involved as you want. I, personally, don't do much with my show herd (whence cometh the most steady influx of cash), others are very much involved with culling low money earners, or poor performers. Either way, it's your show herd that will be your most reliable money earners in the long run.

LizzysRanch · Mar 2, 2022 11:44 AM

Is it too late to post here? I started Feb 7th and I realized i didnt post here for my welcome pack.

ConfluenceRanch · Mar 2, 2022 3:46 PM

Nope, it should give you the cash and the barn.

Mandabear · Mar 3, 2022 11:36 PM

Hi I'm relatively new and still figuring all the features out. I'll answers all the questions.

1. I've always loved horses, who doesn't?
2. It looked like a great and more realistic game to play.
3. Ohh pets, I have a long haired GSD, he is 6 and his name is Sirius, and I just got a new puppy about 3 weeks ago, she's an all white except one red spot between her right eye and ear spot Pit Bull, she's 10 week old and her name is Peaches. Then I have 6 Peking ducks, and a white and grey dwarf hamster named Harold. (We want a horse and donkey but can't afford them just yet)
4.yes friends are always a plus!!!
5. Something im confused about with the game is when the season just ended bone of my new daily horses I create are making any HB's or are worth any points, just nothing at all.
6. COFFEE always coffee, the darker the better and the more caffeine the better.

ConfluenceRanch · Mar 4, 2022 1:01 PM

Hi Mandabear! Welcome to the game. I saw your post in the Player Support chat and asked a follow up question, so check over there for a response.

It sounds like you have a real zoo going! How fun is that?

Mandabear · Mar 5, 2022 1:11 AM

We absolutely love all of the animals, I grew up with lots of odd animals my grandfather always had racoons and skunks and they were the BEST. We plan on having a lot more ourselves. Definitely have a whole zoo, 4 kids and all the animals. Lol

ValkyrieMaiden · Apr 5, 2022 8:54 AM

I can’t believe it took me so long to figure out how to get the welcome barn lol hello I love all animals as I grew up on a farm and that’s the best kind of life for me. I prefer coffee or tea as I don’t drink soda pop lol

ConfluenceRanch · Apr 5, 2022 3:41 PM

Welcome, ValkyrieMaiden! However long it took, at least you got it done! Yay! :D

Miso2112 · Sep 6, 2022 11:31 PM

Well, it's been about a bajillion years since I joined up, but here I am! I've loved horses since I was little but don't have the land or finances for a real one, so games like these scratch the itch. IRL I have 3 dogs that are the absolute lights of my life, two seniors and a li'l baby. I've played the other servers a little but this one's a little bit easier to grasp for me seeing as I'm both incredibly impatient and not exactly smart, lol!

ConfluenceRanch · Sep 7, 2022 2:23 PM

Maudie · Dec 28, 2022 6:56 AM

Hey guys, I just need someone’s help, so I have never used PayPal to pay for anything and I was trying to buy some upgrades and it kept declining everything I was trying to pay with. So I just need yalls advice.

ConfluenceRanch · Dec 28, 2022 6:57 PM

Hi Maudie. You should post this in the Help Me Out section of the forum. Other players may have some advice for you.

StoneyPines · Dec 29, 2022 10:50 AM

Hi there!
I'm not a new member, but new to the chat system.
I have loved horses since I was 2, and welcome any chance to learn more about these amazing creatures. I have 2 horses of my own, and do all of their training and care.
I love learning about the color-genetics in this game... it's so interesting!

ConfluenceRanch · Dec 29, 2022 4:15 PM

BlackWidow84 · Dec 31, 2022 11:48 AM

Hello, I’m new to the game but have worked with horses since I was 7 years old. I ride both English and western and enjoy jumping.

ConfluenceRanch · Dec 31, 2022 7:05 PM

Hi, BlackWidow84! Welcome to the game. There's a lot to take in at first so please feel free to ask any questions you might have.
