Okay, if that Zodiac promo really happens, it'll be awesome! I must have mine (Taurus) and my husband's (Capricorn). I think Howrse is taking a page from all the coat designers who combine species with the graphics! LoL!

I think the horoscope promo seems kinda cool. I happen to be a capricorn, so I should look forward to hopefully obtain him sometime if at all.

You have a type of competition . Take Endurance . You choose a horse to register.
You can try to earn bonuses for this competition by two actions:
1) Braid the tail of your horse :
-> In 30 seconds , you have to click 25 times in small red circles (see image). By clicking near the circle , the braid is undone once: so do not go too fast ) . Basically , it's a quick bonus to have. But in case of lazy , a ticket can be used ( by cons , tickets are bought with pass.

2) Ask for help to friends
-> For 300 Equus , friends can encourage your horse . It works a bit like friend requests Pinatas .

Finally , you can put your horse on a continent with levels of difficulties and variables gains (but remaining close to a nozzle does not face an elite)

*translation from Google:

Scorpio is an astrological horses.

If you are born under this sign, Scorpio offers 1x 5th Element every year, on the day of your birthday, if you connect that day.

By bringing together the 12 astrological chevax you will get the horse Ophiuchus.

This Horse can not be sold .

Would like some more info on the whole competition registration and points-earning thing, if there is any - from what I understood, you can enter up to 6 comps every 12 hours?

Also, this sounds like the players with top skillers will get an advantage over those of us who don't. I imagine that will be controversial. At least the legendaries aren't allowed to enter.

New Divine: Scorpio

We are launching a new series of horses: Astrological divine horses.

This is a series of 13 divine (yes actually there are 13 signs of the zodiac).
The former can be won in this contest. This is Scorpion.

If you are born under this sign, Scorpio offers The 5th Element 1 x every year, the day of your birthday, if you connect that day.

Also, each last day of the astrological sign, November 22 for scorpions, the horse of the corresponding sign is offered to a player among the natives of this sign.

Scorpio is more easily accessible, which is why his gift is lower.
We want to test the possibility of proposing a more accessible divine.
Many players complain that the divine is difficult to have and dream of it, therefore we want to propose a divine which requires less pass.
We do not yet know if other astrological horses bring other things, but we can already tell you that they will bring to everyone the fifth element in the same conditions as Scorpio, the sign but they represent.

Warning: from now on, you can not change your birth date.
We will warn the players about the game very soon to enable them to bring their real date of birth if it was not yet the case.

It seems all Astrological Divines will follow the same pattern of giving a gift of some sort to their owner on their Birthday - and on their birthday.

On the last day of that sign's Calendar - one player who is of that sign will be given the corresponding Divine.

Like any other Divine - they can not be customized in any way (save Helios' Ray *unconfirmed*), can not breed, can not be sold, do not count for EC prestige, can't enter the Prix, can only enter 1 normal competition per day, but unlimited Divine ones.

As it is by the Zodiac Calendar - we can probably expect the release to happen in this order (Dates shown are the 'rough dates*) that the sign covers - the last date shown is when the 'free' one is given to a player of the corresponding sign:

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Because of this - we can probably expect a bit of a run on back-to-back promos for awhile (likewise, it's possible Howrse might put more than one in the same event (Ex. two of them as prizes in a Cards event, two as prizes in a Magic ride style event, etc)

*I say rough dates as depending on where you live/which source you check out for your horoscope - sometimes the days can differ by one or two.
