Dr Zig - sharing her expertise freely and helping and supporting INT Howrse's community since 2008, including 4 years 8 months as a moderator. Described in 2016, by our original Ow (April 2007 - June 2016), as "a wizard on the mechanics of the game", "my most valuable asset in the community", "have a huge heart" and "nobody has contributed more to the community".
I wish, with every fibre of my being, that I was still on the team – I'm disabled, alone, and mostly housebound, so it meant the whole world to me... and still does. I'm always happy to answer game play questions via PM, as I have been since 2008 
One of the original Howrse Ambassadors
This was the aim every day since 2008
I was the No.1 ranked player from 16 April 2023 to 4 May 2023, and was back in No.1 position on June 3 - 6, then No.2, then No.1 again until 16 July 2023 
wow, and back again on 27-30 July 2023 Meet the members of Dr Zig's amazing 10,000 Club
They have won at least that many times in a single comp type
- He's the original 'bad boy' of Howrse, the 8-legged wonder who broke the rankings table and caused a coding conflict that took the developers several days to fix. Meet the wonderful Sleipnir, general manager of Fairgreen Stud, lover of cross country competitions, and chasing naughty foals that get too cheeky... and apples.
- He's only 14.3hh but is cute, full of mischief and has a twinkle in his eye, and he loves western pleasure competitions... and sneaking up behind Monkey to boop him and run away. Meet Fiáin. His name means 'wild' in Irish, and he's won more than 20,000 of his favourite comp!
- Another wonder in a small package, this 14.3hh bundle of fun has a fabulous record in gallop contests. His golden hooves dazzle his rivals and the rest he swats away with his mighty tail. Meet Chitu.
- He's rubbish at keeping the place clean, but he really loves cutting comps, surprisingly nimble despite his size. Meet Osiris.
- He's not the biggest, but he's tough and he loves to help when he can, giving a +3 dressage bonus to all his team-mates from time to time. He's also a wonderful competitor with nearly 800 rosettes in showjumping but has excelled at cross country, his favourite type of comp. Meet Bucephalus.
- He's grey, handsome, and a bit of a show-off. He won lots of showjumping rosettes in the past but then discovered his love for cross country, and he's delighted to have joined the 10,000 club. Meet Zaldia.
- He was born a fortnight after his brother, who beat him to the Club, but he has worked hard in two different events, finally getting to 10,000 wins in gallop. Meet Chitu.
... and there's more of them to come!
I do all lottery, pinata, derby, and other types of friend clicks that show up on the list the event pages shows me 
Need help blupping? Dr Zig's famous Blupping Guides (click) in my forum. They suit every breed on the game (ones named in the guides are just examples), every breed that will ever be added, and even part-bred horses. Just look at your horse's genetics and choose the method that best matches!
Have you got a Nordic divine? (click)
Blup is irrelevant when breeding divines, so if you have a female divine who has not been bred before, and you're looking for a covering, it's likely that one of my lads can help Cake divines and Qilin can't give public coverings.
I often use the 'autocomp' feature, so if my horse keeps beating your one it is not intentional
Monkey went on a big UK adventure in May 2017. He travelled on a big ship, ate lots of cookies, saw a scary seagull, protected Zig from wasps, climbed a ladder, met a very famous Howrse player, visited a house of chocolate, and has been updating his Facebook page with videos of animals, pictures of cakes, Minions memes, stories of mischief, and more 
and he had so much fun that he may be back 'on tour'! 
run cute burger, run! before Monkey catches you!
wow, and back again on 27-30 July 2023
