Oh goodness... so many! SquishLime, I also played Horse Isle for years! I think I had my HI1 account for something close to 8 years before I was inactive for a long period and they deleted it. I still have an HI2 account that I log into occasionally - I enjoy the quests a lot and catching the ponies is fun.

I also played Howrse, although I never got very into it. It was so repetitive with all of the clicking. I did think the black market was fun though... I liked all the boosts you could give your horses.

I played Horse Eden Eventing for a while - was very into that one, but kind of fell off the wagon over a few months, my best horses aged out, and it was too overwhelming to start over.

And finally... who remembers Horse Land?? Way back before it was a cartoon and the art for the game become ugly. Oh, and before rules started being enforced. Man, that game was wild back in the day... people used to run "slaughterhouses" where they would buy up horses and wait for the game to delete them. One of my accounts was a rescue where I bought terrible horses to prevent them from being deleted, lol. Horse Land was another where you could upload any old picture off google to represent your horse - people used to edit them with song lyrics over top... it was a wild time.

I started with expage games. Super old school.

I played Horse Land way back too. Bred Arabians and dogs. Got a lot of hate for the dogs, but hey. And then it changed and was just bleh.

I played Ludus Equinus when it first started.

I played A Virtual Horse for a while. Keep thinking about going back but I just don't want to put that kind of time into a game.

I did quite a lot of artwork for Eqcetera so used to play that and got bored. Also played Howrse, and had a small look at Equiverse but never really stuck. I really enjoyed Horse Isle but had to give it up after my laptop couldn't cope with it. I had a stunning blood red chestnut arab mare with bird spots.

Talking about other Sims, I was in Furry-Paws for absolute years and used to sell a lot of art on there and raised a lot of top dogs. I left it after I went to uni as it didn't feel like it would be a good idea for me to stick around as it takes up a lot of time. After that I found DogDayz which I loved, and also dynastydog which I was gutted when it went down.

EDIT: Think it might be a worth adding that I actually vowed to not play another sim until I got my life sorted out. I found HJ2 at the same time I got a job, and the rest is history :) I get super lonely in this country and this gives me a sense of community as I work at home.

When I was younger, I just played Farmville and exclusively bred and collected rare horses/foals :)
(As dinky as that sounds lol) I remember there used to be a little page where people would share links, and if you were fast enough you'd get the horse. :x

There were so many pretty ponies there, I LOVED it. (If only my eight year old self knew about half the games everyone is talking about- woo. I never would have left the computer!)

I played Howrse but didn’t like it much. My major horsey game addiction prior to HJ was PonyBox. It’s used to be an amazing game. I’m some ways more interactive than HJ, but no color genetics at all. Just conformation stats and hidden show stats on real breeds. I had a goal to repopulate the server with “extinct” breeds and got to see horses from my stock become best of the best.

I also was pretty addicted to Furry-Paws, and raised a lot of nice border collies and Great Danes.
