PLEASE READ THIS FOR YOUR THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME =D
I'm (Sarah, creator of this game) going to take you through a step by step process to help you understand how to play this game. This is a game run by posting messages, and with most members, like myself and and the other administrators, it comes to life in your imagination.
_______________________________________________
Step One: Create A Character. Every player needs a character. The owner of your horses will be your character, and you will roleplay as your character when training/riding/grooming etc etc. You character may also have a job and date. Children are allowed. You also may only have up to 5 characters.
Step Two: Get A Bank Account.. The title is pretty much self explaining. Your bank account is where you will keep track of your money. You may not post in anyone else's account. You start off with $100,000 per character.
Step Three: Get a horse. you can buy (unlimited), lease (unlimited),or create( only 1 per charrie per GHF year) go to the buy/sell board and post for the horse you would like to buy, or go to the lease an post there for the horse you would like to lease, or create buy posting on the create board the horse's stats (name breed etc) and his picture.
As soon as you join here and create your very first horses, you are able to have a stable. Members may have only one stable each, and they do not cost anything. You are required to have a seperate site [not a game, a stable] to keep track of your horses, tack, feed, vet and farrier records, etc. Post the link in the stables category/board.
As you already know, you start off with $100,000. This is not enough to last you so you will need to get a job, or enter shows and races alot. To find out a list of vacant jobs, go to the board Get a Job. There are always vacant jobs.
Step Six: Showing, Racing and In General, Competition
Competition plays a very important part in GHF, therefore it is essential that you too take part in it. There is a wide variety of shows and races available, and most results are fairly done by randomizer.org, or theThe Sim Directory. Races and shows not judged by randomizers will be judged by someone who hasn't got horses in the event.
