Hi everyone! :sparkles: :two_hearts:

My name is Willow Pinerock, welcome to my first post!

Hopefully your day is going well so far :grin:

Anyway! The point of today’s post is to introduce myself a little- I mean- I’ve already been on this community for quite a while with my rrp acc, 𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓵𝓮𝓼, but seeing as this is my personal sso profile, I’d like to give you all a bit of an idea about Willow/me and her journey so far!

Let’s get into it! :two_hearts:

6. 𝔸𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟 𝑅𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑟? 𝐼𝑓 𝑠𝑜, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑?

Yep! I’ve been a lifetime Star Rider since I think- late 2017?

Don’t quote me on that :joy:

7. 𝕎ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑑/ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑜𝑤𝑛?

Well, I have quite a few favourite in-game breeds (I won’t bother listing them, we’d be here till the end :joy: ), but as for my favourite horse I own?

Hmm- probably either my Arabians or my Finnhorses- ooh- or my ETBs, or my JWHs- heh :satisfied:

8. 𝕎ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒'𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒?

Tailtop Village :hand: 🤩

10. 𝔽𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑒/𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝?

I really love the Redwood Point races, the woods are so pretty and the jumps are incredibly realistic! :heart_eyes:

As for my favourite champ- probably the New Hillcrest champ- yes, it’s challenging ( :sweat_smile: ), but I honestly think Epona is underrated 🤩

11. 𝕎ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑗𝑜𝑖𝑛 𝑆𝑆𝑂𝐴?

Since I started playing SSO I’d been wanting a community that I could relate to and discuss the game I love with.

I’m so glad I’ve finally found this platform loaded with amazing people 🥰

12. ℍ𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑆𝑆𝑂𝐴?

Seeing as I love rrp, Adelaide Winterstep was my sso idol when she still made videos- and I first heard of Amino and the SSOA community from her, and I’m eternally grateful for that :innocent:

13. 𝕎ℎ𝑜'𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑙 𝑅𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟?

Probably Linda and Meteor, just because she’s so underrated in my opinion and honestly, she has the kind heart that will serve the sisterhood till the end 🥺

As for Meteor, he would give me such a sense of security and protection, the old man just gives off a gentle vibe 🥰

14. 𝕎ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑆𝑆𝑂?

Definitely the people- honestly- I’ve met so many amazing people who I would trust my life with, like family 🥺 :kissing_heart:

The storyline also draws me in- I’m a total bookworm/author type irl, so I feel such a connection to the Soul Riders, with what the sisterhood’s been through and all.

Willow Pinerock is a part of me now :grin:

15. 𝕎ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑆𝑆𝑂 𝑡𝑜 𝑢𝑝𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑒/𝑎𝑑𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑎𝑚𝑒?

I would definitely love more realistic options/features/functions for the game.

Here’s my list :wink:

1. Horse personalities that you could you could turn off for like, training or club events.

2. MORE REALISTIC CLOTHES- PLEASE SSO- :sweat_smile:

3. More character animations, like, for tacking up, grooming etc.

4. A personal paddock where you can see the horses that aren’t in your stable

5. Pleaseeee SSO let our horses move around on their own- like, if your horse had an impatient personality maybe they would start to wander off after you’ve been dismounted for a certain period of time, or they could move around in our personal stable paddock (play together, graze etc).

6. More horse animations; making every horse able to kick/buck/lay down, some new flatwork/dressage movements would be nice as well, like half-es and leg yields :yum:

All finished! :grin:

Well, that’s all for my first post on this profile, thank you for reading! :sparkles:

Stay tuned for the poll I’ll be putting up to decide my next post! :yum:
