Welcome to the All-Sim Elite forums! Our mission is to provide a safe haven for the mature all-sim player. Though this may change in the future, we currently only support the all-sim horse community, so you will not find any other animal boards here at this time. ASE was designed to make all-simming easier and more enjoyable for those who wish to bypass the drama and immaturity that can at times be found in the all-sim world. Below you will find a menu that will hopefully aid in your understanding of these forums. Look around and make yourself comfortable!
The following is a list of all of the active all-sim sites we know of. If you would like to add a site to the list, send a PM with the site name & link to Liz.
Seems like a while since someone has joined! That or no one feels like introducing themselves!
Im Heidi. I first started simming in 2007 to escape some pressures at school, but around the same time my dad passed away unexpectedly. Its been almost six months since his death and not a day goes by that I dont miss him. The loss so close to Christmas that it ruined the holiday spirit. Instead of going out to my grandparents and aunt's house, we stayed at home and held a memorial about Dad.
Dad was the reason I got into horse back riding. He was part of the local mounted patrol and once brought me to the barn with the horses. There I might Pepper Spice, a sixteen year old Quarter/Morgan cross that Dad had ridden for two years. Spicy soon became my idol. The gelding was about fifteen hands, or a little under. Almost pony sized and solid red except for a wide, very eye catching blaze on his head. A week after visiting with Spicy Dad enrolled me in "lifetime" riding lessons.
Im currently finishing my senior year of high school and after that, Im planning on becoming the record manager at a close family friend's stable, Hillview. Hillview specializes in "Snaffle Bit" horses, which are Hunter-Under-Saddle and Western Pleasure stock horses. Eric and Sammie have taught me pretty much everything I know about riding. I've competed in a few 4h shows right when I first learned to ride, but since high school I've stopped riding.
I'm learning to train horses right now, also. Hillview bred their mare Jack Sparrow's Last Impression to a stallion, not sure who, but he was a cremello Quarter Horse. The mare threw a handsome buckskin tobiano (mare was a paint) colt that Eric and Sammie decided to keep. They're letting me learn to train him, and Eric's probably the best trainer around.
Besides horses, I enjoy swimming and camping. My brothers and I still go camping every year, for a week up to a month. We got EVERYWHERE when we go camping. I especially enjoy parks that let horseback riders in
I finished third in state at swimming in the 500 freestyle. I havent quit swimming but I have quit competitve swimming. The last time I went riding, last May, I was tossed from a gelding when a deer jumped out in front of us. I fractured my left arm from the wrist up to my elbow and I have very little strength in my arm from the fall. The doctors are puzzled, and have come to the conclusion that the nerves had been pinched or messed with from the fall and they didnt catch that. *cheers for doctor sarcatistically* I can still hold reins though, which is good!
My goals for simming is to create a nice "Snaffle Bit" farm and maybe even open a "Snaffle Bit Association". We'll have to see where this goes though.
Welcome, Heidi! That's quite a story you have and I'm sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine! I hope you enjoy it here and all around the all-sim world!

Hey all, I'm Caitlyn or Cate, for short. I like Cate better. Please, don't call me Caitlyn. o.o
Anyway.
I started simming on and off about a year ago. I really love how realistic the sim world has become, and since I'm unable to have real horses anymore this is a great place to come. I've finally gotten around to putting together a stable where I hope to work with Warmblood breeds in Dressage and Jumping.
As far as the, uh, non-sim me goes, I live with my mom in Washington. I'm a full time student and a writer. I love writing young adult fiction, and apparently I'm really good at it. I'm 14, but I think I'm pretty mature for my age.
There isn't much more to tell about me, so... I'll quit rambling now. =]
