I am honestly excited about the return of the companions. But I can see why others are not. I bought lots in sales and got some from quitting players. They are expensive and I still have not gotten the camel, ladybug or bee. Some players will never get the chance to even own a companion and complete the trophies. I get it. It would be unfair for some, but completely fair for others.

What I think should be done about the companions is instead of releasing old images of the same companions, they make new images instead.

For example, make a new look for the owl companion, but it would still count for the trophy the same way as the older version. Same owl, different look. Kinda like the DA or RC for horses. You can't get the same ones anymore. They are retired. Gone. Limited amounts available.

That way, older companions would still hold a unique value in sales or for overall collectors. Similar to the HOG, or DA.

Hope that makes sense.

I've been scanning this topic (like I usually do, because I'm such a spoiler) and I hear some rumors about companions or HoG coming back. Is this just a rumor or a a true fact? I can never be sure, or maybe I didn't read enough. If they are... I'm not sure if I should be excited or not. I think I'm mainly excited, I have one or two companions and would like to get more without spending a load of equus or passes. I can see why some people are frustrated though, their value will drop and the work of those collectors out there will be ruined. I'm not a collector myself, so my vote is... please bring them back!

Hot take on the companions:

Companions are available in the form of a luck black market item, the Companions chest:

"Give your horses a companion!

Give your horse a companion and take advantage of the bonus it comes with! Companions are selected randomly from the list below. Every time you win a companion, it is removed from the chest, giving you higher chances of winning the remaining ones. When the chest gets empty, it will be once again refilled with all the companions from the list."

The companions chest costs 1 pass (new money) and contains 21 companions, which have rarities as divine, precious, rare or common. There is one Divine (llama), 5 Precious (owl, frog, dog, grizzly and wetta), 7 Rares (camel, sheep, kangaroo, cat, turtle, bear and penguin) and 8 comon (goat, squirrel, giraffe, swallow, rabbit, butterfly, hen and monkey).

The new llama companion gives a +10 dressage bonus.



I'll be trying to get all the companions from the chest over the next few days and will make sure to let you all know how many passes it takes me.

It's also worth noting while your horse cannot have multiple companions, you can give a horse that already has a companion the chest for one pass again. The current companion will be replaced with a random new one. So if you want your horse to have a specific companion, it may take a while and could be expensive but you're not stuck with whatever you get the first time.

Three companions are also available from the Egg Decoration event: The rabbit, the hen and the new ostrich:



The ostrich gives a speed bonus as opposed to the dressage bonus given by most others.

The hen is found in the Little Pink Egg and costs three of each decoration.

The rabbit is found in the Big Yellow Egg and costs 3 stripes, 4 shapes and 5 figures, as well as decorating 5 eggs prior.

The ostrich is found in the Very Big Pink Egg and costs 4 stripes, 6 shapes and 5 figures as well as decorating 9 eggs prior.

I'll be making a master post with all the info on companions when I have my thoughts in order, but this should do ok for now.

Can you keep them in inventory too or only directly put them on horses?

Wait is the companions the next promo??

After reading about the return of the companions, does that mean that almost every companion comes back but the ladybug and bee??
