Carriage Trade

I cannot stop raving about the awesome things about Carriage Trade.  For the reminder, Carriage Trade is a Second Life based sim, focused around equestrian lifestyle.   Only humans and theme-fitting quad animals are allowed there (cats, dogs, horses, etc), which keeps it special.  No furry avs, fantasy, or kiddie avatars are allowed, and it proudly remains a PG sim.  I admit, I didn't know what to expect when I first went there, but because of its friendly atmosphere and strict "Be nice or be gone" rule, it has quickly become my home.  Ridables are not allowed as respect to the horses living there, and drama is not tolerated.

The sim also holds several events throughout the week , which includes races,  movie nights (for residents) with  horse themed films, and riding lessons.   We also take field trips to other sims to show off newly released creations.   CT also has a unique feature--its Carousel-- Which uses quad avatars as the carousel horses (( i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x… )).  There's even a spot for human-types to sit on the horses!  We also do have a very nice cross country course with jumps that will break if you hit them.  

There is also another unique feature, which is the  Livery system in which you can "hire" one of the residents to take you on a ride and have them show you around.  It's not too pricey-  its only 300L for 15 minutes, and 500L for 30 min.

Because of the awesome ideas of the sim owner, Shenlei, CT is constantly changing and developing.  New stuff is added on a regular basis.  In fact, one of the new event features coming up are Second Life weddings  (( i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x… ))!  She has also just added in a garden to the property (( i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x… )), which also features pick-able flower (which you purchase), as well as a cabbage patch (where the foals come from!)

CT has become so popular, in fact, that resident areas are filling up fast!  There are only two horse accommodations left (there are also 4 stalls for ponies only!), and we do also have apartments and estates available for humans.


Sounds like a utopia, doesn't it?   I can safely say that it sure is!   If any of you  are on Second Life, I strongly encourage you guys to  stop on  by to Carriage Trade and have a look around.  We looooooove visitors, and might nose your pockets for treats!
