New BM Items Coming!

Starting this week Howrse will be releasing the Horn of Gold, and Helio's Ray as well as golden apple coats for donkeys. They’ve also promised a small free surprise to all the players (a Pack of Harmony?)

Helios’ Ray
Allows you to customise the background of your horse. Howrse is proposing a few basic ones and you’ll also be able to find the ones that where submitted by the players.

The Horn of Gold
Allows you to customize the appearance of your Companions. It can only be used via the Pack of Harmony.

The Pack of Harmony
One Apollo’s Lyre, one Golden Apple, one Horn of gold, one unlimited
(This one is a little different from the one bought as a single item, it allows you to change the background of your horse wearing the Harmony Pack as many times as you like!)
Helios’ Ray

Helios’ Ray won’t be compatible with first version Golden Apples, Diamond Apples, Shutterfly Splints, 5th Element coats and Bewitched Pumpkins.

Creation Widget
Instead of the button to see a players’ coats on your profile page, you’ll now have them displayed in a Widget directly on your page. With your Pegasus Account it is possible to remove this widget.

Here are 2 examples of what your horse page could look like in the future:

And the best part is that you can also use the button at the top near your horse’s name to view the full background!


Happy Gaming and thanks for reading!

More Changes!

The Howrse team has come up with one more set of big changes, and right now they’re only giving out a few little hints. These should all be here this week.

The Competitions

* Energy costs :
Show jumping now cost at least 10 points of energy.
Cross country now costs at least 10 points of energy
Barrel racing costs 25% less in energy than it currently does.
* All the competitions will last the same amount of time : 2 Hours
* As a compensation, Show jumping, Barrel Racing and Races will earn you more.
* Rides on sloping ground will also cost less energy to compensate.

When you build your Show Jumping, Cross Country or Dressage courses, you’ll now be able to check the difficulty level directly while sorting your blocks.

When you register a horse in a competition, you’ll only see the competitions in which your horse isn’t been registered yet, so it'll be a lot easier.

The purple EC names for Equestrian Centers housing at least 5 divines will be replaced by a little sun icon in front of your EC’s name.

This is what it’ll look like instead:

For Pegasus account owners the Piece of Cloud pack’s price is going down ! It’ll now cost 5 passes instead of 6 !

And more to come in the future…
