A friend from the Julip group mentioned that there was a website with virtual horseownership called horseland.com. I felt adventurous and checked it out. It is free to join, and the game is played with virtual money instead of real money (fortunately!)
Each player is given 10,000 dollars per week to set up their horse stable. I joined up and decided to give it a try.
I went shopping for my first virtual horse, and found a grey Arab gelding that had been "shown" in dressage. He had several "show points" already, and was only $1,000. (Hey, I had $10,000 to start out with, and that would be replenished every week! Yippee!)
I also bought my virtual horse a saddle, bridle, and other useful items at the "horse store." (You can also buy horses there!)
My virtual horse, named Magic, was overdue for veterinary care and a hoof trim and shoeing. I had those things taken care of right away.
But oh, no! His virtual boarding stable hadn't fed him in 42 days! According to the rules of the game, Magic would die if not fed in four months. (Incredible that he'd last that long!!)
I had to search for a new virtual boarding stable that would promise to feed him! A stable owner has to log in at least once a week to feed their boarders.
As soon as Magic's new boarding facility feeds him, I can start to enter him in shows.
Magic is currently 15 years old. One of the strange quirks of the game is that the horses all "age" one year per week. They must be retired at age 20, so Magic is good for only 5 more weeks before I have to replace him!
There are virtual clubs that you can join, and virtual registries to register your horses in.
Thanks to Sadie for introducing me to this interesting game!
