Some of us have been chatting on another thread (that was actually about glitches) so we thought we should start a new thread - a place where people could come and talk about anything and everything - horse related or not. Whatever your heart and mouth desires to discuss. complain/moan - you can do it here.Tell jokes, yep here.
Looking for a horse or want to talk about a specific breed - here's the place. Have a question?
Want to get to know new ranch friends? Hellooooooooooooo!
There are other threads for reporting glitches/problems. Report them there, but you can discuss them here.
Looking for friends? There are threads specifically for that so don't make this an "add me" thread. But maybe you can meet some here and become ranch friends.I've met some awesome people through the threads.
So come on...let's chat!
Here's some ice breakers:
Fav horse: That's a tough one, but I think Frederiksborg, for me right now (but maybe cuz it got some skills upgrades)
Pet Peeves: Breeding percentage is out of control - hard to breed the horses you want. It seems very stacked and not in a good way - too many failures.
What level are you on? 65
What horses have you been disappointed with: VIRGO
What other games do you play? At the moment, I don't play any others.
Other blabs about anything: I have 2 labs and grew up riding & breeding horses.
Catch my drift. Blab away. What do you want to talk about? Your turn...![]()
Finally, I found you! I am not used to all this forum stuff! I just retired from teaching so I have all this extra time now. I started playing this game last year before Christmas to help take my mind off of things like my injury date. I didn't enter the forum to chat since Iam still recovering from a TBI (fell on the job and hit my head) going on two years now just started being able to read stuff not much and use the computer for a few minutes a day. Light and noise still bother me! My husband helps me a lot esp with remembering, understanding, or making sense when I talk to people so they are not confused.
Ive loved horses since I was little about 6 my grandfather had a horse but I was not allowed to ride him so to make him mad I rode his goats instead.Lol He would get furious with me yelling the goats are not going to give milk.Hee Hee Finish the story later I need to rest my head is starting to hurt.
I just moved the conversation over hereOriginally Posted by LizzieBee1 Go to original post. Thank you so much for starting this new thread!
Thanks for the birthday wishes - it's in about two weeks. I hope the Taurus horse turns out pretty!
It must be another friend who has the Canadian Pacers. Right now I have a mess of Selle Francais horses - just got my T3, so I'll be down to one shortly. I also have a T3 Merens hanging around. (The T3 Merens was one of the nice surprises - he'll never set records, but he's not painful to race!) I've had a Canadian or two in the past, but they had to go so I could work on other projects. So many horses, but only so much space!
I like "turning". Maybe they can do a zombie horse for Halloween or something. Steeplechase of the Living Dead!
My Pisces, who'll be done in about an hour, is unfortunately another male. But I have a great name picked out for him: Mellencamp. "Little Pink Horses". (When a pun is that good, I can't resist.)
I have to admit the idea of someone riding a goat is making me giggle some, but why weren't you allowed to ride? Was the horse too wild for a young child? I can't wait to hear the rest of the story!Originally Posted by Jspitz61 Go to original post
I'm sorry to hear about your injury - that must've been terrible. I'm glad you're at the point where you can participate in the forum, the more the merrier!
I totally agree on the breeding percentages thing! It is so dopey!! It's way too hard to get the horse you want and the you've wasted all that money to get another horse you have 3 off! Plus we need more farming plots! The carousel thing is making me so mad too!! I came back to the game late in the season and didn't know what the candy canes and such were for until I tried to build the carousel and guess what...the stupid thing was over. So now I have this giant tent I can't build or get rid of! Then there's all the deco and tack...why not make it so that stuff gives you some kind of xp or something if it's gonna be so expensive. Plus have you noticed the prices of the horses versus what you can sell them for??? That's ridiculous! There's no way you should have to pay the same amt to breed your own horses as you do breeding with other people!! Ok I think I'm done for a few mins lol.
Oh gosh, Jspitz...I am sooooo very sorry you are having to deal with a TBI. Life certainly throws us some difficult curves. I hope you continue to heal. I'm putting you in my thoughts and sending you a cyber hug.Originally Posted by Jspitz61 Go to original post
Hey what type of phone do you use to play Horse Haven? If you use an iphone are you on Game Center? We could add and be friends in the game. I'll also try to add you from here.
My Game Center I.D. is LizzieKo1.
Riding goats - now that takes talent! I've always wanted a goat. We've raised shetland ponies, quarter horses, cattle and hogs - but alas, NO goats.
Can't wait to hear more of your story. I'm glad you found us!!!
When your horses turned into skeletons, I guess that could be considered Zombie horses?Originally Posted by TropicalChrome Go to original post
I saw your Mellencamp! Cool idea with "Little Pink (horses) for you and me". I'm singing that now. I saw him in person at Farm Aid. He put on quite a show, along with many other performers. Speaking of Pisces, I have a Female baking in the toaster. Alas, it's a T1. I tried for a T2, bred my male T1, with a friend's T2, used diamonds - but NOOOOOOOOOOOO, that freaking breeding and it's percentage to fail, won. Just another T1 - at least I got the opposite gender, though. I swear they give these horses the gestation of an elephant. My new colt should be nice and burned when it comes out of the toaster. My gosh, they take forever.
And I didn't see any Canadians or Canadian Pacers - I wonder who that was? CRS! Oh and mine is a Canadian Pacer. I had to go check. LOL CRS, again!
Yeah, I hope they don't make the Taurus look like a bull.
Last night, my game was a glitchy bucket of suck! I couldn't do much of anything. No diamonds, freezing, kicked off a ton. So I just shut 'er down. I got on early this morning and pretty much the same. I did manage a few diamonds, but this is getting old as dirt.
Hiya Murphy - glad you joined us!Originally Posted by murphygirl82 Go to original post
Yes, totally agree with the breeding percentages. It really does seem very unfair. They say, "that's what makes it exciting" - I do NOT agree, especially when one uses diamonds AND already have many of the same horse. I think the idea is to use up your diamonds so you have to buy more (which I have done), but until the game gets fixed, I'm not spending any more money.
You can put your carousel into the stash bin and bring it back out when that event happens again. I think the same thing happened to a lot of people with the Christmas sled. At least with the carousel, you can buy items. The sled was just a pretty decoration.
I also agree on tack. My horses don't wear any. I'm not spending a ton of diamonds on a saddle. Not gonna do it. And no way am I going to put a hat on my horses. LOL
Breeding prices are high, yes. I think that's really tough on people who are just starting out as they haven't built up a big coin bank, yet.
And I think we should be able to breed horses from OUR OWN different ranches and not have to move them on the train.
Everything costs so much or uses so many diamonds or takes so long to run, breed, make produce, etc. It's rather slow moving and I kind of like things to move a bit faster.
My carousel won't go back in the box. I can only move the big stupid thing around. I'm playing on Android on a tab. Can we friend if we aren't on the same platform? I'm glad there are other people that are disgruntled about the same things Lol. I thought maybe it was just a pain to me. It amazes me how much real money people actually spend on this game. Anyway hi to everybody. I'm murphygirl82 if ya need a friend. Ttyl.Originally Posted by LizzieBee1 Go to original post
Good grief I finally am on the right thread. Well my story is a funny one. My father was in the Army so we moved around a lot when I was growing up. My grandfather had a small truck farm where he grew produce mainly and had a few farm animals like cows, pigs, chickens, turkies, and the GOATS!!! Well, on one such visit to grandpa's a man showed up with this white mangy looking horse no idea what breed it was I just turned 6 I didn't know I just saw a horse. All kinds of things were running thru my head does he want to sell it, trade it, NO he wants gramps to board it for a few days!!! Well I was a tomboy and I saw horse and me on top of that mangy looking thing! Grandma was always chasing after me with a broom idk I must of given them grey hairs. Now when I look back at things. Gramps put the horse out in the pasture and I saw my opportunity. I snuck out when no one was looking and tied a rope to it, I coaxed it to an area where I could get on it mind you there is no saddle this is going to be bareback like riding the Nubian female goats. Well let's just say it was a short ride a very very short ride I went flying thru the air and landed on my butt. Ouch I got up went back to the house and laid down. Gramps came in and told me to come along we needed to get some bales of hay out of the shed for the horse which I replied if I could stay in the house I didn't want another stint with that horse. But I went with him to the shed and inside there was a big board like for a teeter totter propped up at a 45 degree angle more less anyway it looked like a slide to me and I asked gramps if I could slide down it he said sure and I slide down it and screamed cuz I got a butt full of splinters I hobbled back to the house and laid face down on the kitchen table while my mom and grandma took the tweezers to remove the splinters! Ugh what a day that was I figured it was pay back for sneaking out to ride that horse. I stopped riding the goats too! Oh and my mom found out that the Billy goat ate one of my socks like a year later when we were stationed in Germany I finally fessed up to that incident I never rode him (male goat) was too mean!
I am using an iPad to play this game- I guess my Game Center is Jspitz61
I just started that uplay account
