// THE INTRO \\
Hello there! I'm Krista Green and I am proud to welcome you to the home of the famous Hayloft Times: Shire, Kentucky. In the town of Shire, just about the only important thing is riding, training, breeding, and owning horses. If you don't have at least five on your barn, you aren't worth a dime. Now that we've established that, it is time to get down to business.
// THE RP \\
Welcome to the Horse Center of the world! Everyone is out for themselves, and their horses, too. Romance between the younger boarders at Hayloft Show Stables is blossoming. Competitions and tensions are rising.
The barn has two parts to it. The old barn; the original hayloft stables. Stalls here are small and mostly covered in cobwebs. Stalls here are cheap and almost everybody can board here. Also, a new addition of large, air conditioned, freshly painted stalls are here. But then the new indoor ring is the only thing wedged between the rich and the poor. The poor hate the separation and the rich hate the poor. Which side of the ring are you on?
Now the important thing about the RP game is that you don't buy stuff. You can be a rich person, or a poor person. But there is no actual account of money so you are allowed to have a free-flowing and fun game to play. If you are the business type person, you can focus more on the SIM game of this forum.
// THE SIM \\
The SIM part of HLT is all about showing. You start out with five horse's stats and then buy bonuses and let 'em compete in events based on scores and dice rolls to add in a bit of random. We have five sports currently [which may increase later]: hunter, dressage, cross country, jumper, and racing. Unlike the RPG game, we only have english sports due to how many more stats I would need to add to make them work out.
You can breed your horses when they hit the age of six. Breeding has advanced genetics involved with it, and staff will create the foals for you. Raise the foals and make them the greatest of their kind if you have bred them correctly. Specialize in a certain sport to gain more show points.
Beyond just the point of the SIM game, it is very unique. With over 25 different coat colors, 7 different personalities, and 6 stats, your horse can be anything you want it to be.
