Seems like there's been a real influx of former players returning to the fold recently?!

I first joined in... well I honestly can't recall. I came here from HL originally and then was probably most active around 2013-2014? A long time ago, in other words. Since then, real life has been crazy busy (working, of course, with ponies) having spent several years working in Portugal on various trail and dressage yards (hence my obsession with Lusitanos) and most recently having spent 2 years working on a small but very beautiful private stud (again dressage, though WBs this time) back home in England. In other words, equestrian hours in real time don't allow for many equestrian hours in sim time!

I've now had a bit of a relapse to the chronic illness I had as a teen thanks to catching the dreaded lurgy last year and find myself with altogether too much time on my hands. As such, I'm back!

I used to mainly focus on graphics (https://www.deviantart.com/utakata-manipulation for anyone interested) but will definitely need to brush up on my skills first as it's been a while.

Other than that I've set up KWPNs on this account, TBs on another (the breed I've historically focused on) and Lusitanos on a third.

It's nice to be back and see a fair few familiar names; let's see how long I last this time!

Welcome back! And I know what you're saying. I stopped playing for year's for the same reason. Working at farms/ranches ends up not really allowing for any extra time.

sorry to hear that it is due to sickness however but I hope this helps pass the time for you.

glad to have you back!
