So it's basically a new BMI icon rather than actual new BMI, just to separate it from the original one that gives us a random element coat. Makes sense, but personally I'd love to see a new actual BMI beyond random luck coats....

does this work???

Took me a minute to realize I had to click on the little slingshot thing with the ball on it. Seems to be slow though, sometimes I can't click it and I'm not sure what makes it clickable again.

Strategy so far: Have lots of equus and time to run races over and over again each day. Try to run race without using bonus at first and use it only if you start falling behind. I was able to win a few races without using any bonuses.

The derby is like it was before except there are no automatic races and the bonus costs 2 bonus stars and add 2 points to each hole.

The next promo is the Celtic Cards, then the GC and derby.

I found the max cost of running a derby is 500,000 equus, and when trying for the divine in the HoPs, the minimum you can buy him for in reserved sales is 5 passes. I honestly think this promo could be completed with the divine won without passes if one is careful about use of bonuses and they have plenty of equus. Just they would have to avoid spending Tue flags on other tempting prizes before they reach the end. Also, to use the bonus it only takes one from your inventory and will add a +2 score to each slot.

The Music Wandering Horses

The concept is the same as usual: players attract the Wandering horses by completing specific objectives. Those horses also bring gifts. Once they have collected all the Wandering horses, they get the Divine horse.

The theme is “Music”, with each wandering horse representing a specific music genre (Hip-hop, Reggae, Jazz, etc.).

There are 11 + 1 wandering horses in total (the +1 being the community wandering horse).

For each Wandering horse you have to complete an objective a certain number of times in order to obtain it. You can see your progression with a meter. Once it is full, you obtain the horse and its attached gift(s).

They aren’t all unlocked from the beginning, you either wait or pay with passes to unlock them.


Changes Since Last Time


There have been quite a few changes for this edition, mostly to simplify it and make it more fun to play.

This contest makes you play with your Wandering horses. You can do almost everything with them, except making them reproduce and give them Black market items. You need a specific item to age them.

For some Wandering horses, you need to perform actions on the Wandering horses you already have (e.g. Equip a Wandering horse with tack, Groom a Wandering horse, Give Mash to a Wandering horse, etc.)

Wandering Horses can participate in competitions (which will be on an objective for a wandering horse). Because of this, competitions have a higher frequency (x4 for normal competitions, x6 for special horses competitions, except for competitions affected by the VIP perk enabling a player to choose the frequency of the competitions – those remain unchanged)

You can age you Wandering Horses with the contest’s item: the Treble Clef. (It can also be used to fill a Wandering horse’s meter). You cannot use aging points on them. (They also age “naturally” once a day, as the other horses)

Treble Clefs: can be obtained through UFOs, in the Weekend offers and when the Wandering horses wake up. They can be used to age a wandering horse or on it’s meter.

There’s isn’t any more “divine” wandering horse. You obtain the jackpot as soon as you have collected all Wandering horses.

The Wandering horses stay on a player’s account until 2 days after the contest ends

The Community Wandering Horse


A new community wandering horse is introduced: the Conductor. It is unlocked when players age enough wandering horses with treble clefs during the contest. Each time the meter is full, a new Community Wandering horse is unlocked.

These horses wander from player to player. (During the contest, playing with them counts for the contest and fills the meter, but they cannot be aged) and stay there for 24 hours.

NEW: When it is on your account, you can buy the coat of the Community Wandering Horse in question now (instead of the Wandering spirit), for 2 passes. This change is also applied to Wilderness.

Bragi is one of the Nordic horses.

Lift the veil that has descended on the Nordic worlds by winning points with rides to Asgard, Midgard and Niflheim. Take care when choosing which ride to go on!

When you get to 900 points, the veil is raised and Bragi gives you a prize:

1 x Harmony Pack

This horse cannot be sold.

I am surprised the only classical style being represented is opera. It looks like they are really only going for vocal-related forms of music. So many other options, but at least they are all related, I guess. Perhaps in the future there will be instrumental-based promos.

Wandering horse promo coming back. Glad to see they didn't overlook Country music, but I wish they would have had classic rock in there, or big band, instead of Hip-Hop . Oh well, can't win 'em all. I love the wandering horses though, and the prizes are always good.

Are these all the objective? I recall that previous Wandering Horse promo's had around 16 horses

I think that depending on the rate of gaining the treble clefs will affect how quickly we're able to get Reggae. This will probably require a bit amount of passes to finish... But very optimistic!
