I am an adult player who has always wanted LOTS of horses so thank you Howrse, for helping this dream come true. It sure is easier to keep a virtual barn immaculate than a real one....  Thank all of you who visit my page and congratulate me, and those who visit my EC forum and help keep it interesting.

In real life, I now have 2 horses, both TWHs, one a buckskin and the other a strawberry roan.  Sadly, my Paint mare had to be euthanized due to her Cushings. She is the inspiration for my Howrse handle, Sillyfilly. Previously, she and I had been working on moving cows (cutting, sorting, etc.) until her retirement.  I bought Jack, a quarter horse, to keep sorting, but I have moved away from that, and sold Jack to a good friend who has loved him for a few years.  Lucy, my TWH, is a sweet trail horse.  I have one indoor cat at present, Star, who just loves to have her belly rubbed and a pair of barn cats, who love attention!, adopted when we moved to our new home.

Some of my Howrse history and high points:
Sapphire Ice, my howrse, that I bred (in my breeding group, Dynamix, formerly Heavenly Nokotas) and trained, came in 1st in the Western Grand Prix Trail competiton on January 2, 2014.  Priceless,  my Argentinian Criollo whom I bred on my Leyenda team,  won the cutting Prix on February 2, 2015. Last statistic:   Oct. 8, 2016 was the first time I hit my best ranking ever: 61st!!!  ( I have been at that spot many times since.)

Some of you may have heard about “Breeders Week” when a team doesn’t sell their top skillers, and instead allows their team members to compete in their breed’s Prix.  I believe that I am the individual who first promoted this idea on Howrse, several years back when I was a member of Heavenly Nokotas.  At the time, I was trying to compete in the Western Prix, and as a member of 3 teams, it was very hard to compete successfully.  So I suggested it, and eventually we adopted the idea.
