Hello again! For those of you who are going back to school in August, I want to wish you good luck! Please, remember, school comes before pleasure! So be sure to get thsoe good grades!

Now, I know (and hopefully everyone else knows too) that I HATE to be mean.. i literally HATE being mean to people.. But people.. i'm gonna get my point across in just a few sentences..
PULL YOUR SLACK OR GET OUT
These games are made by the MEMBERS, not the person who CREATED the PAGES. I have seen HUNDREDS of games either close down or not even GET STARTED due to member activity. It's the MEMBERS who make the game, not the person/people who actually do all of the hard work it takes to make the pages. If you think something is wrong or could be changed to make the game better, well SPEAK UP!!! You can email me personally your suggestions OR you can post them on the message board. Now onto the REAL business...

Boarding: Okay, first.. here is my idea for boarding/private farms. Set a limit on the number of private/boarding barns that can be in the game at one time. I am VERY thrilled that we have barns with the members creating them, however the people who own boarding barns don't have any boarders at all, forcing them to not have any income from the farms. So just let me know of what you think about this idea!
Mandy, Anna, and Taylor: You need to find a place to board immediatly, the deadline being September 1st.

Vetting & Farrier: FROM NOW ON IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR HORSES TO THE VET AND FARRIER ON TIME YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am the only vet in EE, and although most of you have come to me for July's vetting. HOWEVER, I have recieved word from BOTH farriers (Callie and Naylith) that neither of them have recieved ANY members to have farrier business done.

Feed: (THIS ONLY CONCERNS BARN OWNERS) If you have a barn, YOU NEED TO BUY FEED FOR IT!!!! I AM NOT FALLING FOR THE "I MAKE MY OWN FEED". On the site, there is a feed store (and i am allowing only one, sorry!) where you need to buy grain or hay or both each month! IF you are a boarding barn owner, please try to get enough for your horses AND Your boarders (unless the boarders buy their own feed). However if you are a private barn owner, please get enough for your horses. Please get enough for your horses, don't get 1 bag of grain for 20 horses, be sure to get 15 bags for 20 horses. Its better to have more than not enough. IF you are unsure of how much to get, contact Trotter (she runs the feed store), and she will help you! Remember: You started out with $3,000,000.00, you won't run out of money for a LONG time.

AND FINALLY
How about a contest? Below is the link for a horse picture. Go to the horse picture and then post a response to this message sayign what breed the horse in the picture is! First one to post the correct breed, wins the horse! Good Luck!
