Are You LOST?!
At first, this website is going to seem EXTREMELY hard to understand. Read this, and you’re on your way!
You begin with a barn with no horses. You have $500,000.00. You get paid $10,000.00 a week. You can make money from horse shows. Your horses show in shows held by the AOHSA (American Online Horse Shows Association) and can win trophies, ribbons, & titles like:
AOHSA Horse of the Year
AOHSA Best in Show
AOHSA Best Breed
To get started:
1. Read the Rules in the Rules section.
2. Send a message to HJ Queen saying that you are a new member & ask any questions you may have,
(To do that, click ‘Profile’ on the toolbar at the top of the page. Then click ‘Send PM’, and so on.)
3. Go back to ‘Profile’ and type your barn name where it says ‘Location’. You can choose any avatar you’d like, or you will have a default one that says “Beginner” or “Member”.
4. To buy your first horse, go to where it says ‘Horses For Sale’ at the Equine Marketplace. Choose a horse that you can afford. To buy it, post a message that says “I will pay $__.00 for this horse.” The money will be automatically taken from your account. The horse is yours!
5. Go back to your profile & where it says ‘User Notes’, type: Owns: ( Your horses name)
6. Go back to ‘Horses For Sale’ and right click to copy all the text (Name, Age, Gender, etc.).
7. Click on ‘Horses @ eQuest’ and ‘New Thread’. For the title, put your horse’s name. Paste all of the text onto the page & fill in your horse’s stats. Make sure to remove “Asking Price” & put in your name for “Owner”.
8. To put your horse in a show, click on ‘Upcoming Horse Shows’. There will usually be 1 or 2 horse shows going on. Post your horse’s name & the classes you want to compete in. For example:
Name: Murphy
Classes: #s 1,2,5,9
You will be sent a message with your results. If you won a trophy or ribbon, you will have instructions sent to you on how to display it.
9. If you want to have a foal, click on ‘Foal Barn’. Click ‘New Thread’. Post the sire/dam’s name. Here’s an example:
Dear HJ Queen,
I would like you to breed these horses:
Sire: Mr. Right
Dam: Seeing Spots
Could you please have the foal ready by:
Next week
My name is: ilovehorses10
You will have a foal by the next week (at the latest!) and the information will be sent to you by a message. The foal’s stats & a picture will be posted for you in that same board, so check back as soon as you receive the message!
