> The Beating Heart Mustangs Farm Yay! We arrived two days ago, and already had the main introduction shoot for you, but I've always had to delay it for some reason. Not now! All the pictures are ready and specially resized for Environ (width 560px, instead of the previous 640px) so they don't stretch the board in ANY way! So let's start, shall we? Do you remember the entrance shown on the 20 year-old photo? Well, this is it now, modern days ![]() ![]() As soon as you enter you see their four main awards, which should be displayed in all zoos/centers/facilities that have won them, and need visitors/donators/members. The A.R.C. isn't showcasing them because we did in the future many many times, and all of the people know about our awards quite a lot. In front of the awards you can see the two women who are in charge of letting people in, and seeing who gets out. You can't pass them for the world! This hippodrome is only for elite and exclusive members (premium members) that have their horses "living" here every day. However, the first thing we'll see is the guest horse area. Also, you can see that the sides of it (the aviaries) have a statue of a lion. That's a decorated area with statues that remind of real animals in flowers. ![]() The lion (on the other side there are two elephants): ![]() Straight ahead there's the management office and the toilet. In the management office you can talk to the manager/"principal" and tell him what's bothering you connected to the hippodrome, or you can register your horse with them if there's room. ![]() The owners of all horses can rest on this small square ![]() ![]() These are the 5 stables for guest horses. Guest horses are horses which are here for max. 3 months, and their owners must pay on a daily, weekly, or a monthly basis, while premium members pay for the whole year at once. This is similar to the A.R.C.'s Safe Keeping program. ![]() This is from the inside. Do you know who is this stallion? ![]() Yes, it's Grim. We're testing out how he'll like it here, to see if we should transfer him here or stay at Brinestone. From above: ![]() The guest area has a smaller area for training horses, simply riding them: ![]() There's also a small, single pasture: ![]() And a all-in-one jumping course. For easy, medium and hard trainings: ![]() Now let's go to the premium member area, shall we? So, the premium members are members that have their horses living here for years and years. They pay every year once, for the whole year, and the price is not small. It's around $3 000 a week. You do the math, and keep in mind that this hippodrome is FULL. These are the stables from the outside: ![]() Entrance to the stables: ![]() As you go in all the stables are the same, only different flowers are planted outside. ![]() As you see they're much bigger than the guest area, almost 1 and a half times bigger (this is Susan of the Bright Waters on the picture): ![]() Klarisa of the Bright Waters: ![]() Every premium member stable has it's own private grooming area: ![]() ![]() The stables from above: ![]() The stables from the roof: ![]() The premium area has three beautiful pastures, unlike the guest, which has one small pasture. Although only one is full with three males from mr. Hewit's Gray Stallions Collection, they do look nice: ![]() This is one of the five mares in the 5th or 6th premium stable doing her first training ever. She's still learning, that's why she isn't jumping. ![]() The Cross Country area: ![]() The premium area racing/riding exhibit: ![]() That's it for now, I hope you like it. There will be another update with BHM as I have to show you the training areas more carefully ![]() Enjoy! |

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.![]() If you want a banner like mine, then click on the banner to visit my graphics thread. | |

@ The Lone Master > Thank you, but I don't think I'm the best. I'm just trying to make it more appealing, like Sophie and Komori have ![]() All I do is put animal enrichment objects and guest objects in a way that it's being used for something else (like the grooming area and the management office). @ Sophie > Thank you. I love the horse courses too, my favorite is the Cross Country one

> The Beating Heart Mustangs Farm - Grim and his first days there I'm bringing you Grim's first week at BHM ![]() The first two days he was getting used to his new stable, and then we said that it's time to start training him up. Although we were offered to go to the premium area to train, we stayed at the guest area as we're the only guests there and the training fields are all ours First thing the third day there was to get Grim out of his stable, saddle him up and go riding We have to take it slow with him as he never actually TRAINED. Only running he did was for his personal satisfaction and games, never "forced". After 15 minutes of warming up I decided to take some photos of him, as he looked so adorable with the black saddle & bridle we bought him. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then I let him walk by his own for awhile, to get the feeling of the saddle & bridle before we start riding him. The warm up wasn't with the rider on his back, it was simple running by his own, to get the feeling as well. ![]() He got a reward for good behavior ![]() ![]() After he ate the carrot I got on his back and we started running. It was beautiful! ![]() Then, before we finished up, I removed the saddle from his back and walked with him for some time, before we left the arena. ![]() Just when he had his lunch a rider stopped us asking if he could try to ride our horse. We allowed him to ride Grim, because we know Grim is a peaceful horse and wouldn't do any harm to the rider. However, this guy took him to the guest jumping area, and started doing a jumping training with him. Grim jumped two smallest heights and as soon as he was asked to jump a bit higher, a problem occurred and he stopped, nearly taking down his rider. ![]() As we apologized for Grim's unwillingness to jump, we took him to the guest grooming area, where he got what he deserved ^^ A nice full body groom, and lots of hugs and kisses. ![]() Finally, I left him in the pasture for the night ![]() ![]() > The BHM Premium Courses I told you I'll get a better preview for you. > Cross Country Course Here it is up close. First two things: shallow water pass and one or two low jumps. ![]() Third, zig-zag running. ![]() Fourth, a hill with deep water around it. ![]() Fifth and sixth, more zig-zag running and bushes. ![]() Seventh and eight, two or three jumps and a hill to land on. ![]() > Show Jumping Course There are three of them. ![]() The easy one, has only three very low jumps. ![]() The medium one, consists of seven jumps, 2 low, 4 medium height and 1 high (but not the highest). ![]() ![]() Out of those 4 medium height one is a water jump: ![]() The hard one, with 13 jumps (3 low, 5 medium and 2 high, and 3 the highest ones, which rare horses can jump over). Out of these 2 are water jumps. ![]() > A word from me... I like this hippodrome, although something is wrong with the food throughs, I believe it was connected to me abusing the powers of the Anywhere hack, but still. I think I'll put this one up for download as soon as I list all the downloads used ![]() EDIT: Saddles on pictures fixed. |
