will the treats be in the same spot? I've heard the gifts will be changing but will the treats and spyglasses?

Cursed sand? Will that be a new promo? And if so, could anyone explain it to me?

Cursed sand? Will that be a new promo? And if so, could anyone explain it to me?

Cursed Sands is an older Halloween promo we had, but this newer one is going to be similar minus the name, which escapes me at the moment. You get a certain number of plots to dig on that increase in number, click amount, and lessens time depending on the objectives you complete. With each click or dig, you can find items or bone fragments that you collect in order to win the divine. Sometimes though you find nothing.

Sunken Sands, Maze, Flower Fight, Draft Release, etc.

Flower fight first , Maze on 17th-18th ish I think, that will bring the first draughts , sunken sands after
No set dates sadly

what's sunken sands?

draft horses?

what are the suspected dates for the maze promo? And the item needed for them is TC, right? I'll need to save up

will the treats be in the same spot? I've heard the gifts will be changing but will the treats and spyglasses?

They will remain in the Same Spots. It is only the gifts that might be moving around a little.

Draught Horses:
A new type of horse is making their long awaited entrance on Howrse; the draught breeds.

The first horse from this new “species” is the Percheron!

Draught horses can:
- Receive the same items than Donkeys. *Though images of Draft Pegasus do exist - they can not be given Medusa's Blood at present time...this might change in the future*

The special coats of the following items will use the same image as horses and ponies:
- 5th Element
- Bewitched Pumpkin
- Seal of the Apocalypse

Draught horses can be equipped and take part in the same competitions as riding horses and ponies. The equipment is visible on the horse’s illustration. *see image*

Like donkeys the draught horses:
- Can only be bred with another draught horse
- Cannot breed more than three times during his life
- When a draught horse is put up for sale any issued but unused coverings are cancelled

Weight and feed
The need for fodder is larger with a draught horse than with other species
The requirement for oats works the same way as for horses or ponies.

Missions:
When a draught horse takes part in a mission:
He earns twice as many skills as a regular horse
His owner earns twice as many equus

The Equestrian Centre earns twice as many resources

The mission button on their page is slightly modified to show it’s doubled compared to other horses.

You can search draught horses in breeding farms, sales and in public coverings.
When you are looking for a covering for your draught mare the setting is automatically set to search for a draught horse of the same breed in exactly the same way as donkeys.

In the other direction, when looking for a covering for a classical riding breed you cannot select the setting to search for a draught horse.

Rankings:
The draught horses are ranked as any other type of specie.
Their ranking goes between the ones for ponies and donkeys.

Creative Space:
We add the opportunity of proposing creations for draught horses in the Creative Space.
On the Black pearl page the sentence “Draught horses aren’t accepted” is removed.
Trophies

The Percheron is added to the breed and coats for all breed trophies as well as creating a trophy in Talented Breeder => breeds.

The species is also added to the species trophy, species Golden Apple and retired Golden Apple trophies.

Species riding horse

To avoid unnecessary confusion the species “horse” is renamed “riding horse”. *and Drafts will be called 'Draft Horse'

This terminology is used on the horse’s page under species, in the horse’s breed description, in the search drop down menus, in the sales, when looking for coverings, in your breeding farms, trophies, species, in the rankings …

Help section
An entry is added for draught horses in the section 4.1 – breeding.
In the EC help under missions in section 2.3 an entry is also added

Best Regards
The Howrse Team

Images of a Percheron's page and the Breed's Page;





*bonus - Percheron Foal*


~*~
Also - we have found images of the Second Draft Breed, the Shire. However - other than these three images showing the three colors it comes in. Beyond this - Nothing else is known about this particular Draft at this time:

It's identical to the Cursed Sands event of 2013. You start off with some plots of land, and you need to dig to find various items. You start off with a small tool, and over time can work your way up to trade for better tools which allow you to dig more often (similar to how you can get more clicks per hour with Pinatas).

If you can find all the Bones of the skeleton horse - you'll win the Divine that's being offered as a prize.

Flower Fight - May 11th

The Maze/First Draft Release (as the Percheron is found in the Maze as a prize) - May 11th OR 18th (as the two might run side-by-side)

Sunken Sands - Date unknown but it will start after the Maze....and since the Maze is said to run for 19 days or so...based on the two potential start dates, this would give us a dates of: June 1st or June 8th

Where we will get Devoted Indigo ...Will all the servers get this new horse Canadian or what ever it's called?
