It could possibly be a fake, but I sort of hope it’s not, I kind of like it

Then again, it was posted by Howrse on April Fool’s Day so... maybe it’s a joke?

the Cards promo? And how do you get the Chimeric horses?

No one knows how the new species will be released.

In the top half there is both a HOP and TC available. The list I showed you are the single card items. The top half consists of 5 cards that together ( set of 5) will give you--a random foal, a GA, a P Pack, a T Scale, A TC, a Bonus Pack and a HOP.

they posted the Fish and Tiger on their Instagram on April 1. We're testing the Tiger on preprod so I figured that was a go, but in the year I've been following Howrse on Instagram they've never posted event/divine images unless we've already seen them on preprod. So I figured it was their own idea of a cute April Fools joke

Great Challenge - Improved Derby

The concept is the same as usual: during the challenge, players collect horseshoes by completing objectives.

The VIPs can already try to find the new divine horse Tane-Mahuta in the Titan’s Challenge during the Challenge phase, or they wait for the Festivities.

When the Festivities start, there’s a Derby and the divine horse can be found by everyone in the Titan’s Challenge. There have been quite a few changes, mostly for the Derby.


Great Challenge Phase

No changes.
Helping other players brings 1 bonus for the Derby



Derby Phase

According to the total amount of horseshoes collected in total and the threshold reached, there are between 1 and 4 free derby races/day.
Then they cost equus. 50 equus for the first one, then the price is multiplied by 4, etc.
Players choose which horse they want to use
They throw a ball (with a slingshot this time), which lands in a hole that brings from 3 to 6 points.
The points determine how many steps the horses goes forward
According to the rank of the horse, you win a certain number of flags, to be exchanged against gifts in the gifts shop.

The price in flags of one item increases each time (x2)

The divine horse can be bought with flags

Changes


There are no more automatic races

New Bonus: When used, the bonus brings +2 points to each hole. They can be used once per turn.

Tāne-mahuta

This new BMI is the gift the new divine gives. It is not like the old earth Element.

New Item: Earth Element

A gift from Tāne-mahuta, one of the Maori divines.





From using the Earth element, your horse will get the Earth coat.

This item will give the horse the following bonuses:

Stamina: +5
Speed: +5
Dressage: +8
Gallop: +5
Trot: +5
Jumping: +5

Only horses above than 1 year and 6 months old can use the Earth element

The Earth element cannot be combined with another special coat. If you give a Golden Apple to your horse then the Earth element, it will lose its Golden Apple.

This item cannot be exchanged.

Training and ride duration selection

The time selector (slider or drop-down menu) is adjusted: it cannot propose a training or ride duration that isn’t possible for the horse to do it when there isn’t enough time left (until midnight).

Additional search criteria in the breeding farms for customization items

The following items have been added to the search criteria in the breeding farms:

- Disappeared Golden Apple
- Bewitched Pumpkin
- Apocalypse Seal
- Magic Hat
- Double Sided Medal
- Book of monsters
- Vintage Apple
- Diamond Apple

The Golden Apple criterion now only displays Golden Apple coats.

Prehistoric divines

They now have their own page.

Adjustment for teams

Before, when a VIP member of a team left the team, or lost their VIP account, and there was therefore not enough VIP members to keep all members of the team (as it requires 1 VIP member for 4 places in the team), the system excluded non VIP members by order of seniority in the team (last arrived -> first excluded). Which could be a problem if the team captain is a recent (and non-vip) addition to the team.

Now, we continue to exclude non VIP members by order of seniority in the team, but exclude in priority other members than the captain of the team, even if the captain is the most recent one.

Do we know what the new earth element looks like?

Here it is.

I would assume that it looks the same as it does with the 5th element, because one of the other divines can give you the water element (I think it is water, it might be wind), and it looks the same.
