New players have to join HoofBeats as boarders through the Counselor Program. Once you fill in the new player application, the information provided would be sent to a the owner of the barn you would like to board at. 
The counselors (barn owners) would help you learn the game, the rules, enter shows, and what it's about. Once you and your counselor feel that you're ready to own a barn, just start a new one or buy one from a leaving player, and then you can be a counselor too!

Through the Counselor Program, boarders can

  • Learn to play the game 
  • Board at a cyber-barn
  • Own virtual horses
  • Enter cyber horse shows 
  • Receive HoofBeats digests forwarded by your counselors 
  • Post to the HoofBeats digests through your counselors
  • Own associations and businesses in HoofBeats
  • Get a mini-barn 
  • Get experience to open your own barn
  • Be listed on the Boarders List

These are the people who've been the most prompt in their boarder updates, bugged Christine the least, and checked to see that no boarder has boarded at 2 barns. Also, they're active people, and the ones who've shown me that they're capable of taking more boarders. Boarders, for your counselor in HoofBeats, these people are recommended :).  This list is updated once a month.
