Races close on Mondays at 9PM EST! Our Next Sale Begins: January Y22.
02/05/23 We're almost ready to kick off the New Year here at Final Furlong! The New Years Sale is still OPEN for bids - lots of ponies needing homes! As well, we're hoping to close January Week One races by MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6. However, if we need to extend closing date so more people can get entered, just let us know in the Discord. In addition to getting your pages ready, don't forget to use your bonus points if you'd like!
01/29/23 Congratulations to KENREN for winning the Y21 Breeders' Cup Betting Contest! You've won a breeding reserve to FIFTY DREAMS (Firestone Stud) and 2x 2 furlong extensions + 5 bonus horse points! Lolly finished 2nd, and Cruisey finished 3rd.
12/08/22 The Breeder's Cup Betting Contest will make a return for Y21!!! It'll be a little bit different because of the new points system, but get ready for some end of year fun 😄
11/21/22 Entries for the New Year Sale are now open! We know it seems a bit early, but with life things we're going to need time to make sure things are right lol. Please follow the link here: https://final-furlong.proboards.com/thread/2304/y22-new-year-sale
08/20/22 Judging has been the basis for issues for a long time - taking too long, drama regarding results, bias, etc. Kenren has attempted to put a points system together that keeps the spirit of our system while streamlining and standardizing the process. It's a lot to take in, but once you get in the swing of it, preparing pages with these points takes way less time than doing a layout change lol! If you have any questions, please post them in the judging-help channel on Discord for now. If anyone needs help with anything, please let an admin know! We would like to give everyone one week to get things settled, and then we would like to run July Wk 2 using this system closing 8/27/22 (or earlier if everyone is ready). If it works out, we would like to run two game weeks per RL week to get things moving! Thank you all so much for being her!e
07/27/22 To start July off fresh, we've been playing around with a new theme for Final Furlong! Make sure to check out 'Sonorous' under your profile ❤️ Feel free to use whatever theme works best for yourself. We can't wait to get back to racing!
07/21/22 it's official! We're back! It looks like June Wk 4 was almost fully judged, so make sure you get that updated if you hadn't! We will plan to close the next week (July Wk 1) on Thursday, August 4th. This close day may change, but it's not a bad place to start! For now we'll be doing one game week per RL week to get back into things. Please remember that starting the second half of the year, 3yos can compete against older horses without automatic lower placements.
As an aside, because this is fairly sudden after a whole year, we will not be allowing reclaims on horses for members not currently active for a few months. We will readdress this going forward if needed. Thank you all for understanding!
07/08/22 GO answer the poll ❤️ https://final-furlong.proboards.com/thread/2232/ff-restart-poll
Hey all. You will all remember me, as Meghan. I'm 23 years old.
I went by Alice for a while under a different alias before coming clean as Meghan for reasons I don't wish to disclose. You'll remember that I was friends with Alexia, and still am. I don't see her much as she has her children and she lives a good 45 minutes drive from me now, but I miss her every day.
I need to come clean about some things. Alexia's ex sexually abused me last May. I was covered in bruises. He was a friend for 5 years and I had to go through the police and I had to go for counselling, and I'm still in counselling. When I was 16, 2012 - I was active on here. I had to be moved to my mums because my dad hurt me. I tried to go to college and focus but I was letting my own mental health deteriorate rapidly by letting all the little things get to me. In March 2014, I left my mums and decided to go my own way in the world. I was working full time at a show stables riding 5 horses, breaking in 3 year olds, mucking out 30 stables a day and with this, I was blocking out the feelings and emotions. I'd been in relationships where people played mind games with me and it taunted me ridiculously. In May 2014, I finally cracked. I was sick of my manager bossing me around and belittling me constantly, telling me I wasn't good enough, and my boss was just letting my manager walk all over me. She didn't give a damn. I begun to self harm and then I cracked. I was depressed, everything was scaring me. I was having visions of my dad injuring me again and I couldn't cope. I took an overdose in an attempt to take my life, and obviously I'm still here. I'm still alive. Dec 2014, I met a guy at a local bar. He seemed nice, he bought me a few drinks and it became apparent he'd put something in my drink. He spiked me with a drug called rohypnol, took me back to his and sexually assaulted me.
Skip a few years and it brings me to now. I'm messed up, I don't go outside. I'm on permanant sick. I have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Functional Neurological Disorder all stemming back to the start with my dad, and the other events and the emotional turmoil of the last 7 years. I've since been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder with generalised and social anxiety, chronic depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. In June, I was at my lowest point. I had to be taken to hospital after a self-harm attempt went wrong and I needed stitches. In May I was admitted back to hospital after yet another suicide attempt. This was when I was diagnosed with BPD. I struggle to trust people because of the events of the last few years. My fiancé, who I wasn't even in a relationship with at this point (we'd dated) stayed awake all night to make sure that I was okay. After I was discharged from hospital, me and my fiancé got together. He's been my rock ever since the end of May. He's helped me through the hard times, and he's put a ring on my finger and has told me he wants to marry me.
He got me into live streaming on Twitch, and I'm now an affiliated streamer, and this has helped me get my confidence back. I use Discord to talk to other gamers and other chronically ill people. I'm learning new coping mechanisms, and despite relapsing yesterday after 4 months, the gaps between relapses are getting larger and life is getting easier to deal with. My fiancé has taught me how to trust again. I wouldn't let him touch my face, but he can now. His name is Jonny, he's 30 and he's my best friend, and my rock. I adore him. But we live stream on Twitch, and we have good fun whilst we're at it. <3
Hello, I think we briefly crossed perhaps in your last few months and my first few, I was much quieter back then Glad to see you back, we're always looking for new people to join in. I don't have a great life story myself, it could be worse, could be better, I get myself into social trouble more than I should but I keep trying again to be a better person and learn from my mistakes.
