Happy H&J Anniversary!
I can’t believe I’ve been playing H&J for 3 years, to this day!
Over the years I’ve grown much closer to everyone on here and appreciate the kindness you have shown to not just me but everyone that’s new and old. Thank you for being such an amazing community!

Unfortunately I won't be able to run a fun contest or game this year for my H&J anniversary, my RL craziness has packed my schedule so that I can barely get on here each day.

When did I start? Where am I now?
Three years ago, today, I started my account (AmberHaven300), my very first time being on this site. I became obsessed with pixel ponies and all of the pretty colors - which eventually caused my downfall. I didn't know what I was doing, and I had essentially set myself up for failure. I had no pointed horses, no horsebucks, and absolutely no good horses that people would be interested in. I had hit a standstill. To many of the horses I owned, I had a sentimental value towards them and I had many mini heartbreaks as I started to sell these horses just to get me by.

Since then, I’ve been able to get a new BC, many licenses, a 1k stall barn, and even afford multiple months of premium upgrade as I focus on my breeding instead of pixel ponies. Since then most of those pixel ponies have passed, but some still remain today and are now top show earners in my herd and on the leaderboards. Since then I’ve produced 2 Top producing studs (AH Lion X Charge & ReCharge), and countless mares that are shared throughout the community. Of these top horses, I have 2 double boosted horses, one being 15.5 PT, and I’ve been able to create many custom Chimeras.

I went from having less than 100k hbs in total, after 1 year in playing the game, to maxing the 9 Million game cap.

What happens next?
I plan to continue my occasional premium, creating many more top studs for the public, including another clone of my beloved AH Lion X Charge, before he passes. I plan to offer embryos from my double boosted pair to fund my stables for future top foals. I also plan to increase my number of show ponies and increase the spread of my Solstice breed name.

Besides Mesa Server, what have I been up to?
I have created a secondary account on mesa where I plan to grow a top line from other people’s lines.

On my Forest account, I’ve been focusing on creating and breeding a top Chimera line, offering 4 boosted studs to the public after joining in June 2023, and taking a year long break from that account. This account also includes a top-producing chimera mare (SHF Chocolate Mud Pie) who is my little baby girl on the server. Going premium is a thought I’ve had for my account, but I don’t feel like it’s necessary with how recently I’ve come back and the little progress already. I was so graciously supported by the forest community with many things besides for just embryos to start my herd (Thank you!).

Just recently I have created a Bluegrass account where I will focus on creating and breeding one of my dream horse genetics lines and eventually breed it up to a Double boosted 15.5 PT herd. I am currently working on my show herd and building my hbs, IVs, and GMTs supply before I begin to move forward. I plan to go premium for most of my breeding on this account.

What can you do?
I don’t expect you guys to do anything but continue supporting everyone and sharing the kindness around. You guys are so amazing that just typing this out makes me smile. Thank you! Thank you for everything you’ve done towards me and towards others! :)
