they will have to come up with new objectives after a lot of the changes. No box, no meadow etc.... would be nice if it just went away, and never come back.

Rides that match where the Center is located will be completed twice as fast (so a center in the Mountains will have its horses complete Mountain rides faster than Forest or Beach)

Forest gives Wood - Mountains give Iron. Now according to the Time Line on Preprod for the next set of EC changes, we'll be able to start producing our own supplies via Workshops. One of the new things listed for boxes and meadows is Water Troughs. But I don't know if these will be made of Wood or Iron...I wish I knew so that I would be able to quickly produce this perk for my boarders by harvesting the needed resource

The next phase

The next step will be implemented at the beginning of February.
Production Cycle

Thanks to the location of your Equestrian Center and your boarders, you can collect a brand new type of resource: wood for the forest, iron for the mountains, sand for the beach.
There are two types of resources:
Resources associated with the location of your Equestrian Center: acquired via missions done by your boarders or purchased from the store.
Resources available for all Equestrian Centers: agricultural products (fodder, straw, flax, etc.) and livestock products (leather).
By combining different resources, you can make most of the products and facilities in your Equestrian Center
At the store, the price of products that you make depends on supply and demand.
You can change the location of your equestrian center for 30 days after the next update, to test the various possibilities.

Workshops

Workshops allow you to make:
Buildings: boxes, greenhouses, new workshops
Box (shower, trough) and meadow (trough, tractor) improvements
Products (equipment, mash, fertilizer)
Depending on their size, they allow you to make more or less of your chosen product.
The number of workshops that you can simultaneously have producing goods depends on the prestige of your Equestrian Center.
Production time depends on the product that you are making.

Raising Cows

You can dedicate the use of some of your fields to raise cattle
Cows allows you to get leather
You can have 6 fields simultaneously growing crops and/or containing cows.

Buildings in your Equestrian Center

A new improvement is available for boxes: the drinking trough. It allows your boarders to obtain 4 times more energy and morale via the “drinking” action. This improvement does not count toward prestige.
The tractor replaces the scarecrow.
The trough is an improvement for fields with cattle: it allows you to obtain 30% more leather.
When a building is used too much, it is disabled until it is repaired with resources.
You can have several greenhouses. They are available in three different sizes and wear out as they are used.

Horse's Page

Lessons carried out by horses have been renamed Missions.
There are two types of missions:
Lessons, which bring in money to the Equestrian Center manager
Gathering missions, which bring in resources to the Equestrian Center
This action always brings in money for the horse owner and skills for the horse.
The “Put in the meadow” and “Put in the box” actions have been deleted. Adjustments have been made to counteract the loss of energy/morale.

What's next...

The following is a general overview of what has been planned for the future. We will provide more details of each feature closer to their release date.

A tutorial is offered when creating an Equestrian Center
Draft horses are coming to the game
Complete overhaul of the Secret Market
Trophies for Equestrian Centers
VIP advantages specific to Equestrian Centers
And perhaps other features that will be produced along the way

for the December change: "Beach Rides still allow you to transfer points from one skill to another. From now on, you can choose the skill that will gain points and the skill that will lose points. If a choice is not made, the skill that will gain points will be the highest, and the skill that will lose points will be the lowest.

Points exchanged by these rides were previously fixed, so it took more and more time with the increase in horse genetic potential. Now, beach rides require the same amount of time no matter the genetic potential of the horse."

So, the (with high gp horses) formerly sooo frustratingly long and boring beach rides can be done much faster and if you messed up with keeping the skill lowest that you want to have reduced (or the skill highest that you want to add to) you now/then can manually choose to have the transfer go in the way you want it to.

Lining the Lesson Ring (perhaps as a way to decrease energy use)
Making concrete to make floors for your boxes and workshops
Making Glass to be able to build a Green House *this seems the most logical now that I think about it*

sowilPack with the retired be bought to the game soon? I hope so

99% of us hope NOT

Wandering horses???

I am sure a lot of other players besides my self would of like the silver apples and really hope howrse will have them for sale soon
