quote=1396574075]I’m still slightly confused. I’ve read over the clarifications and this is probably an obvious answer but it evades me: will a golden/retired apple or Helios ray item itself be removed from a horse’s equipped items? Are the horses just set to default?[/quote]

I do not believe so. I think they are just going to have coats you own now count towards collections and some trophies, but for some other trophies, you will need to apply customization items to a horse to get trophy advancement. For example, if you own a bunch of Golden Apple and Retired Coats coats already, those will be incorporated to collections (and trophies for GAs), but to get the trophy to advance after this update applies, you will need to apply the Golden Apple yourself, not just buy it from another player. Also, that is why they cannot put Retired Apple coats into a trophy because it would be impossible to apply that coat yourself since it is a design that is retired, so the only way to get those coats is to buy them from someone else or have a Golden Apple coat you own retire. At least that is my interpretation of the above.

In my read-through of everything, it sounds like there are just some changes to collections and trophies but no changes to your actual horses.

Wandering Horses

This time the theme for our wandering horses is movies and movie characters. Will you be able to collect all of the new wanderers?

Click here to join us on the film set!

� How to play?

Repeat achieving objectives requested by your Wandering horses to fill their gauge and unlock them!

Wandering Horses unlock over the days. However, you can also use Passes to unlock them immediately.

At some steps of the gauge, you can receive intermediate prizes:

Game items

Fragments for the new divine horse

A special coat

When the gauge is filled:

you receive the final prize for filling up the gauge

the wandering horse will stay on your account until 2 days after the end of the contest

While the Wandering Horses are in your breeding farm, you can take the same action with them as with your normal horses. It means that you can:

take care of your wandering horses (by feeding them, grooming them, etc.)

train them

register them for competitions

age your wandering horses by using Clapperboards

However, you can neither reproduce nor give Black Market items to such horses.

NEW! The Wandering Spirit from the Movie series has been added. It equips your horse with a coat from the series of Movie Wandering horses.

� The Clapperboards


The Clapperboards can be used to age horses or to fill the gauge of Wandering Horses faster.

They can be obtained:

by connecting to the game every day (3 per day + extra 3 if you log in for 5 days in a row)

by waking up the wandering horses that are in your breeding farm (delivered if you are lucky enough)

with passes

A new Community Wandering Horse coat

Collect all the Wandering Horses to win the Director coat!

It is a Community Wandering horse from the Movie series. Community Wandering horses are horses staying in your breeding farm for 24 hours and then going to another player’s breeding farm.

You can give the Community Wandering Horse Director coat to one of your horses.


A new divine horse from the Grail series: Arthur

Throughout the contest, you can find fragments of the divine horse Arthur in the Tyche's Crown. You can also find fragments in the prizes offered by certain Wandering Horses.

Complete his quest to win: 1x Hermes’ Winged Staff.

You can increase his skill by using Passes.

For the wandering horse promo, is there an estimate on how many passes are needed to get the director coat? And will the movie wanderers' spirit be offered in the promo?

If you are careful you should be able to get to the end and complete all wanderers with no passes spent.

When does the next promo start? Has a date been released?

Evolution!


Dogs are excellent companions and it is common to say that they are 'man's best friend'.

Since dogs' enthusiasm can be infectious, we believe it is about time to spend some time with them!

Let the Evolution begin!

How to play?
The principle is the same as the previous edition of similar events. Your goal is to merge the dog figures on the board to create higher-level dogs and win prizes.

Drag dogs from the left side panel and drop them on your board. Once it is done, you can:

� Merge two equal dog figures to get a more valuable one.
� Merge two different dog figures to get prizes!
� Merge the Level 1 dog and Level 2 dog to get divine fragments of the new special Pet horse.
� Merge two Level 8 dogs to get a new companion!

How to get items?



There are two ways to get the items that you can place on the board:

You can buy them with passes
You can wait for a refill
Please note that items can only be purchased if all refillable items are empty.
Only the Level 2 and Level 3 dogs can be bought!

Jackpots

Welsh Corgi is the special horse you can win during the event. Discord the new collection of Pet horses!

The new horse series work similarly to Wild horses and Chimera horses. Once tamed, Welsh Corgi gives you 10 passes for each year until age 80. The reward can appear on any of the buttons for horse care when waking up.

Throughout the event, you can also find fragments of this new divine horse in Tyche’s Crown.

I'm more of a cat person though

Memory game

Do you like memory games? Check out our new memory event with equestrian as the main theme!
How to play?

On each board, you will face a grid of undiscovered tiles! Turn two of them at a time to find the matching pair.

If both tiles are the same, they will disappear so you can try to locate other pairs that match. When all tile pairs have been discovered, you’ll be able to move to the next level!

Warning! If the tiles you turn over don’t match, they turn back and you lose a life point!

Solve the 25 puzzles to win the jackpot: the new Woven braided horsetail!

Please note: Once you have completed all the levels, you can play again any level that you want to but you will still lose lives inside a level. Also, you can win gifts from the gift tiles but you can't win the gift from the end of the level again.

When hovering over a level, you can see what gift you can find inside.

How can I get lives?


When you have no more life points, you cannot play anymore. Therefore, you need to earn them somehow.

You can get your life points in the following ways:

� At daily connection, with a bonus if you visit the event pages 5 days in a row;

� When finding a pair of life tiles on some levels;

� By buying them with Passes;

� If you have used too many lives on previous levels, you will be given some extra lives when starting a new level.

Jokers

There are three types of jokers, which are shown below. Every day, one of these Jokers will be available free to use.


Reminder: Reveal 1 to 5 tiles if you’re lucky enough (only among tiles already revealed).

Family Ties: Shows you all the tiles that belong to the same family until the end of the level.

Crystal ball: Reveal 3 tiles selected from those that you've not yet turned over on this level.

A new horse breed!
End levels 8 and 20 to win German Saddle horses.

Species: Riding horses

The new Fairy Tale horse!
Throughout the contest, you can find fragments of the new divine horse, Rapunzel, in Tyche's Crowns.

Thanks to this horse, you can win the following items:

1 x Braided horsetail
1 x Button plaiting
1 x Custom clip

During this test session, the special horse Repunzel will be obtainable in the Tyche's Crown with high probabilities so that it can be tested easier. Please be aware that the probabilities will be lower in the real game!

Choose a tail braid for your horse.



Starting at 1 year 6 months.

Stamina : +2 / Speed : +2 / Dressage : +2 / Gallop : +2 / Trot : +2 / Jumping : +2

It should start on March 9th after the next event the merge event.

So what I have in my inventory is a "braided horsetail". The new item is a "woven braided horsetail"

Do you have a screenshot of what the new braids look like from that item?

It does feel a bit disappointing that it is so similar to something we already have but I suppose it depends on what the braids actually look like and what stats they give. I do think I would like to have Rapunzel though, those items can be useful.

So... it's not a new item then? Because those all look the same as the other braided horse tail options. The only thing that is different is the BMI's icon.

Also, I am disappointed that the German Saddle Horses have the same model as some of the other horse breeds. Like, c'mon Howrse, it's 2023 for goodness' sake, give us some originality! I so enjoyed that the Polish Konik was a new unique model and hoped that all future breeds would be too, but I guess that's too much to ask for.

I can't find anything on Google regarding a German Saddle Horse as a breed. This seems to be a catch all phrase for many of the Warmblooded German breeds. Is there a clarification on which breed this is supposed to represent?
