Set yer picks!
16 November 2008
Just a quick request of those of you who have been kind enough to link to Hoof It in your picks - please could you update your picks so they show the new island, Nectaris, rather than Riiki? Thank you!
If you haven't, and you enjoy our horses or even what you've seen of the new island, we'd really appreciate a mention if you can spare a slot :)
Party aftermath and pictures
15 November 2008
An enormous thank you for everyone who made our second Birthday that little bit special. I had a wonderful night and I hope everyone that came did too - I'm guessing that since we kept dancing for a whole six hours, at least some of you enjoyed it!
Extra special thanks go to our DJ Jetta, who got everyone partying with awesome (and very silly!) tunes, and to Lhayn who came to the rescue after Jetta's set and kept us dancing long into the wee hours.
And naturally, thanks to everyone who made it over, even if you couldn't stay long. See you again next year?!
Farewell
15 November 2008
Well, I've just completed the terribly sad job of closing up Hoof It in Riiki. That's it now - we've moved.
I've had so much fun creating Nectaris, and I'm really happy with it. I hope it will be a place that everyone can enjoy spending time. We'll have more room for all sorts of events and competitions and I hope it will help the Hoof It group become more active and perhaps I'll get to meet a few more of you. But all the same, I've had a lot of fun in Riiki and it's a beautiful place - not to mention the place where it all started.
Anyway, here's a couple of pictures I took before I closed the doors. Farewell Riiki!
PUMPKINS!
14 November 2008
A little late in the season perhaps, but we're running a Pumpkin Hunt all weekend at Nectaris.
There are 20 pumpkins hidden all around the island, so get exploring! Whoever finds the most in the shortest time will win the horse or avatar of their choice.
That's the shortest time, not 'first' - so it doesn't matter when you start.
All you need to do to take part is click! Every pumpkin you find will tell you when you've clicked on it, and tell you how many you have left to find. So what are you waiting for?!
November Newness
14 November 2008
Happy November, everyone! Hoof It is two years old this month, and to cellebrate we've made a few changes. Wanna know what's new?
this siteThe first thing you'll probably notice if you're reading this! We're a bit larger, a bit neater, and a bit nicer. In the links to the left you'll find a few new pages - listings and results of our competitions, and one about our new home Nectaris - which leads me on to...
our homeHoof It has moved! You can now visit us at the beautiful Nectaris isle, where you'll find our bigger, shinier barn and lots of new things and places to explore. Check out our beautiful livery yard or take a wander up into the woods towards the waterfall. There's loads to discover, so come and say hello and take a look around!
donkeys!
November sees the release of our newest avatar, a quadruped donkey available in 6 colours. Released at the combined Hoof It Birthday / House Warming / Donkey Party, this little guy is a load of fun and a guaranteed source of ass jokes for at least five whole minutes.
