The new breed offered in the event is separate from what breeds the divine gives. All 3 breeds we get from the Pastry Divine on INT (I'm assuming you'll get the Curly, Quarter Horse, or Mustang on this server too, since those breeds are already here), are US breeds.

Though I suppose it would have been nice for the new breed to be regional to the US as well. I would have loved PoAs since I'm crying for some more spotted breeds, and that would have been a great opportunity for a breed with an entirely different graphic. But I wonder if the reason why they didn't do that is that it could set the trend for releasing a new breed for each Pastry divine contest. Which would mean coming out with lots of breeds in short intervals. I'm still surprised we're getting a new breed so soon after the Kerry Bog

I'm sure the only reason we're getting this new breed is because it's already on a new server

That would be really cool! I hope that I will be able to get it along with the Divines!

Alebrijes Piñatas

The contest is based on the same principle as previously, but with a few changes. The theme is based on “Alebrijes”, those brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures.

Concept
Players click piñatas to open them and receive the prizes inside. The more they progress, the more interesting the prizes get.

This time, the Piñatas represent Alebrijes.


Jackpots

#20: Midir from the Celtic divines
#16: A Falabella: Tiny

Changes since last time:
A meter on the contest page displays the number of clicks left and evolves according to the “recharge time” and the total number of clicks available (which are reduced/increased as the player progresses through the contest)
When the meter is empty, players can fill it by 50% by paying 1 pass
Objectives have changed, as have their rewards in some cases.
Players can find points for the piñatas in the Golden Fleece on the weekends.

Midir is one of the Celtic horses.Find all 5 Oghamic letters from their prediction by using their powers of divination every day.Once you have completed the prediction, you will either get:1 x Achille's Heel,1 x Hypnos' Blanket,100 x Leather. This horse cannot be sold.

This year, again, we introduce a brand new customization item: Catrina’s brooch. It will be on the Black Market on a specific weekend, but players will also be able to win it in the Piñatas contest.

There are 4 different coats, themed on the Day of the dead. When a horse gets one of the 4 coats, it also gets one of the 21 alebrijes piñatas as a companion

This item will give the horse the following bonuses:

Stamina: +5
Speed: +5
Dressage: +5
Gallop: +5
Trot: +5
Jumping: +5

Please Note: The companion awards an additional bonus to the horse between 2 and 6 on a specific skill, depending of which companion it is.

Those new companions are NOT included in the Companions trophy.

The Day of the Dead is going to be represented with the new item! I have always been very drawn to the Day of the Dead, namely the dress and decoration, so I cannot wait to see these coats come to life on Howrse. This will be one of the first, if not the only, specialty coat item collection I actually want to complete! About time!!

A few notes..."reserve" refers to each "bar" or "portion" of the meter. Points required to open each Pinata typically don't change from preprod to the live version, but it's not guaranteed that the objectives stated here will be copied exactly to the live version.

Agreed about the divine, I'll be spending mine on the Broche de la Catrina, though I'm wondering how just 4 coats and 21 companions are supposed to not drive someone crazy...what if I want them ALL but not multiple copies of the same coat? They didn't think about that, did they...

Wow! I LOVE Dia de los Muertos!! So excited for the event, especially the chance to get the special coats! They look beautiful!

So disappointed that they went and made adjustments to a pretty decent promo - the pinata promo was one of my faves, but now we have to get points in fleeces instead of hops? That's just ridiculous

When you open a fleece, you have to decide whether you want the prize or the points for the pinata. it is not points in addition to the usual GF prize! This also means that the number of points you get will depend on how many stars you uncover! So yeah, if you get 3 stars you will have to choose between that MA or the points!
