>Welcome to Elpis Stables<

First off, let me say THANK YOU! to everyone who has left congratulations. I appreciate them a lot and I hope I can live up to everyone's expectations in the future.

I am an adult player; if you are a minor, please get permission before messaging.

Important Update 2: I may or not be on due to a family emergency type event. I will try to maintain a consistent schedule, but that may be hard.

Important Update: I have been dealing with some issues and have been trying to prioritize my mental health lately. I know I haven't been on lately, but hopefully that will change.


I am currently working on developing my Greek Mythos line, and hopefully with the infusion of Leto, Metis, Semele and Maia, the line will continue to improve.
I prefer to breed my horses at 100.00 BLUP to produce the best possible horses. **This is currently on hold**

Horses in Training
Several. XD
About Me
I recently got back into Howrse, and so far finding it fun and rewarding. ^^
My favorite horses are Thoroughbreds, and I have worked with Off the Track Thoroughbreds (OTTB) in a therapeutic riding setting. My small claim to fame here is that I rode one of the many grandfoals of Secretariat (no joke! I looked up the horse's lineage and her sire's sire was Secretariat). My favorite coat color for the thoroughbred has to be chestnut, with bay following a close second. (The very first horse I rode (thoroughbred gelding) was a gorgeous chestnut.)
Hobbies include: Watching TV, reading, playing video games (internet games included), knitting and ballroom dancing (temporary hiatus). I would like to continue horseback riding, but my work schedule tends to be very unpredictable. I like to collect Breyer horse models and I have various models from Stablemates to Traditional. My current favorites are Secretariat and American Pharaoh (both Triple Crown winners).
