"I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars." -Mandino About the Ranch NorthStar Ranch (NSR for short) is a specialized breeding and training ranch with my forte being rolling. I breed an array of quality horses varying from Andalusians to Zebras. Pure and impure. I started VHR with an Andalusian mare named *HB* Me llamo Brandy. I bred many Iberian and Baroque breeds before switching to stock horses, namely American Quarter Horses. Now I work with whatever breed sounds interesting, but am always drawn back to my AQHs. About the Horses All of my horses are bred for stats and abilities, though I like to breed for color as well. My aim is to produce horses of superior quality and because of that, I believe in only selling BC foals and studding stat maxed, rolled stallions. I don't usually show my horses; they are either sent to NSR Studs or put on NSR Broodmares and will later serve as fantastic dams and sires once fully trained. However, many of the foals bred here that carry the 'NSR' brand have gone on to be champions once sold and that is far greater a reward then showing my own horses; knowing they are representing this ranch. About the Owner I am an older player with one dog, one APHA mare, one betta fish and a whole herd of axolotls. I am also a designer, gamer, astronomer, elementary school teacher and of course equine enthusiast who channels their horse fixation onto horse sim games and my own horse, Aria. I believe that the breeds I work with, my private colors and even some of my horse's names say a lot about me. Services All "NSR" branded horses are eligible to receive free or discounted services. Additionally, if you opt to have a foal born here, it will be born with all breeding bonuses (with the exception of the twin foal one).

Some of the breeds I work with are by nature always pure (Arabians, Gypsy Drums, et cetera), others can be easily cross-bred (AQHs, Paints, et cetera). My goal is to have a variety of different types. As of now, I currently possess pure lines of these breeds: Abaco Colonial Horse (private) A Cowboy's Legend Alicorn American Cream Draft American Indian Horse American Quarter Horse American Warmblood Andalusian Appaloosa Appendix Quarter Horse Arabian Azteca Baladi (Egyptian Arab) Bavarian Warmblood Belgian Brazilian Sport Horse Carthusian Cayuse Indian Pony Descendant of Mister Ed Ethereal Horse Friesian Golden American SB Gypsy Drum Gypsy Vanner Horse Irish Sport Horse Kathiawari Kiger Mustang Lipizzaner Maremmano Marsh Tacky Mearas Missouri Fox Trotter Morgan Norwegian Fjord Paint Persian Arabian Pony of the Americas Przewalski Quarter Pony Racking Horse Russian Don Seglawi Egyptian Spanish Jennet Standardbred Tarpan Tennessee Walker Thoroughbred Tiger Horse Transformer Horse Trojan Horse Welsh Cob Wielkopolski (Pol. WB) Zebra Personal Pictures Although I do not consider myself much of an artist, I will occasionally break out the ol' tablet to work on some personal horse pics, especially for those odd-colored horses. At this moment, you may be able to coerce me for the right amount in to doing some lineart coloring. This means YOU must provide the lines. I am willing to try coloring those goodie dyed horses as well. I enjoy the challenge they pose, but the extravagant colors will cost extra. If you are interested in commissioning me for coloring, please don't be afraid to send me a message. Examples of some of my pieces are below. Layouts I did the layouts for my sales ranch, broodmare ranch, retirement ranch, this ranch and basically every other ranch that I am still semi-active on. I will be honest. I don't enjoy doing layouts. They can be a pain. Because of this, I have never and will never offer layout services to anyone other than myself and a close friend of mine. That being said, if you need some simple help on your layout with things like links, font, positioning or any other small issues you may be having, drop me a line.

An Update With game updates happening scarcely, a lot of technical issues, and a slow-paced game, I have decided to end my nearly ten years of play here. I will still be checking ranches on rare occasions, but for now, I bid you all adieu.
