Misty
Farms' History:
Founded in September of 2002, Misty Farms is among the oldest ranches
on VHR. There are only a handful of other ranches that have been around
for a longer amount of time. Initially, Misty Farms was to specialize
in improving Mustangs, but has since broadened its' horizons to include
many other breeds. Misty Farms has always been a small ranch, keeping
to itself, but soon, that's about to change.
The
Present:
Unlike many ranches, Misty Farms doesn't specialize in one particular
breed. Instead, they try to have a wide selection of horses in order to
have something else to dabble in if one project gets boring. A small
list of horses being bred here are: Arabians, American Quarter Horses,
Paints, Appaloosas, Ponys of the Americas, Lippizaners, Racking Horses,
Mustangs, and many more. As it stands now, Misty Farms has numerous
five and ten million dollar winners, and currently trains some of the
top Western Pleasure horses.
The
Future:
What the future holds, is impossible to tell. However, it can be sure
that Misty Farms is here to stay. The ranch has withstood The Great
Reset of December 2002-January 2003, The Great Delete of 2005, where
many people's horses were deleted, Misty Farms' included, and the Great
Layout Change of June 2007. Whatever challenges come, Misty Farms is
bound and determined to sit it through and continue to provide quality
horses.

Training Information
I like to
take my time when training, so don't expect me to finish the horse in an hour, unless I have a lot of free time. I have a life off of VHR, so it could easily take me up to a week for large orders. It really depends on my schedule. As it stands, I'm taking five college courses for a total of 18 credit hours. So, don't harass me to finish your horse; I reserve the right to send your
horse back without finishing it's training and move on to more patient people. When sending me a contract, please put in either the horse notes or the contract notes what you want done to the horse, shoes, what particular stat you want raised, what stat you want me to focus on rolling, etc.
For me, stat maxing means surefootedness, movement, and endurance are all red lettered and won't raise anymore, and strength/intelligence/speed are at 200 or higher.
