Chapter 1 -
“When the clear high cries of horses rang through the thickened fog, the land-ho was shouted, and anchor was made. Finally, the daylight dawned, melting the fog and revealing to our widened eyes a thousand razor sharp rocks, laying just ahead, where they would have no doubt sunken the ship if the vessel had stayed her course. It was then that we made for the shore and saw the hoof prints in the sand. From that day forth, we swore to honor and protect the lives of all horses on that island, as they had surely saved our own.”
- Thomas Fasting, Writer aboard The Moonlight Maiden, 1836
“The horses there seemed tame and would walk right up to you, giving you their complete trust. Perhaps it was because they had never known any enemy, as there were no other beasts on that island besides them. A few birds and frogs here and there, but no lions, no bears, and no humans.”
- Juan Gregory, World Explorer, 1893
“To this day, it is a mystery as to how these amazing and majestic animals arrived upon this island. Though they are as wild as the waves, they seem to trust unconditionally, asking for nothing, and offering their kindness, trust, and protection to adult and child alike. From this day forward, let this unique and inspiring island be known as Equisis, the equine oasis.”
- Jararda Daskingi, Prince of Etiloi Isles, 1902
The idea behind Equisis began about five years ago as a board game! It had many of the same principles as Equisis now has today. However, it slowly adapted into a website, which was not automated. That became very hard to maintain with the growing number of members, so Equisis.net went under construction again on December 17, 2007, this time with the help of Jade, from Design1Online.com. Without her, the completion of Equisis would not have been possible! Jade has lots of experience creating gaming websites and so she knew exactly how to set everything up. She answered every question and listened to every concern throughout the whole process. It was great working with her! Equisis finally opened on January 16th, 2008!
