Welcome to my page! 

Before you continue, I'm 28 years old, so I am an adult player, so ask permission if you're not allowed to talk to adults. 

My name is Helen, I'm from the north of England, and have been on Howrse since 2007 on the international server, then came to the UK server in 2013. You can read bit more about me, if you'd like, under the links for my affixes!  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I started on the international server under Sam45 originally, but I am now ObligatoryCookie on all servers, then joined this after recommendations from Lenkol, I joined the UK server in 2013. I mainly breed French Trotters, and I am trying to raise my FT's GPs. I try to do Non In Bred breeding, or NIB for short, so my progress is going a little slow at the moment. I hit my goal of reaching 2000GP by the end of 2016. I haven't been on Howrse for a very long time, and I'm not really sure what my current goals are, for now, I'm just getting back into it and seeing where I go and what I like.

I don't accept random friend requests, but I'll be happy to be friends after you've mailed me. I also don't like rudeness, or people who think they're better than everyone. 

I breed French Trotters, as mentioned above, but I used to breed Purebred Spanish Horses, and still sort of do, but most of them I have as part of my AP farm, and just try to keep the lineage going, and I thought about starting a Icelandic horse breeding, but I lost interest in those. I also breed Thoroughbreds, and random breed unicorns. 

I do breed other breeds, mainly carrying on my AP farm, but also to contribute to my General Ranking for the higher GP horses, they fall into 2 categories, all my bred horses, there are the ones that are under 2000GP, and they are under the affix 'Generalis Equorum' which is Latin for 'General Horses' and all the ones that are over 2000GP, are under the affix 'Vexillum Classica' which is Latin for 'The Classical Standard'. 

The higher GP breeds I breed are, Akhal-Tekes, Hanoverians, KWPNs, Thoroughbreds, and a couple of others.

I also have the affixes 'necessaria peritias' which is Latin for 'Need Skills' and '| NW BLUPPING TY |' for my horses that I'm BLUPing, these last two are more for my own reference and makes it easier for me to see what needs to be done for those horses under those affixes.

Also, I know most breeders on here inbreed. I really don't like the idea of inbreeding, I know Howrse is a game, and it's not real, but I don't agree with breeding horses with their mothers, brothers, fathers, or grandparents, so, as far as I know, all of my horses aren't inbred, there may be inbreeding further back, in like great grandparents etc, but, I don't inbred, I have a excel document for my FTs with all their information, GP, Stars, and family trees. When looking for horses, I look at the parents for in breeding, and look at their parents for inbreeding, if there is inbreeding, then I don't go for it. 

Recently a couple of people who were close to me have passed away, so I thought I would make tributes to them on here, by creating high GP horses, with RCs, and Helios' Rays. You can find them in my 'Favourite Horses' section, along with all my FTs.

Below, you can see my best of each breed:

French Trotter Link       |      Purebred Spanish Link      |      

| Thoroughbred Horse Link (Current highest are twins, here is her twin's link: Twin) |

My affixes for each breed I breed are as follows: 

          | Chaleur Humaine (FT) | La Orden de la Inquisició  (PSH) |     

| Generalis Equorum (Mixed Breed PB Horses Under 2000GP) |

| Vexillum Classica (Mixed Breed PB Horses Over 2000GP) |

I also have assorted affixes, not sure what they'll be used for, if I've thought of a use, a brief description will follow, but, here they are:

| Of Kingdom Come (Divine Affix) |

Now, to the person behind ObligatoryCookie. I don't feel like Howrse gives us a lot of opportunities to discuss our interests, so here are mine. So, I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself, if you're interested in reading it, that is. My name is Helen, I'm 28, I'm 4ft 8, have short brown hair, wear glasses, and I live in Northern England, about an hour on a train from Manchester, with my dad. I did have a beautiful, handsome bunny, Kirby, but we lost him in May 2022 after nearly having him 11 years. I am autistic, and some other neurodivergencies. I work for the British Heart Foundation part time, and in my free time, you can usually find me gaming on my PS4, Xbox, PC or Switch, or drawing, writing or reading. 

Some of the things I like to do outside of Howrse are, I game, I play (Switch) Smash Bros, Breath Of The Wild, Stardew Valley, (Xbox) Overwatch, GTA V, Fallout 76, (PC) The Sims 4. I also like music, a lot, and I sing. A lot. I bet my poor dad and neighbours hate me. I also watch a lot of YouTube, and Netflix. I also like to read, but I don't have much time to do so currently, or I say I don't, I really should read more.... I also have a degree in Photography, though I don't always get to go out as much with my camera now, since I don't tend to like leaving the house much. I also, really, REALLY love bees. There's just something about them, I've always loved them. If I see one on the floor that needs help, I just have to help it, or if it's died, I have to pick it up, put it on a flower out of sight, and give it a funeral. It's weird. I know.
