Is it just me or is anyone not seeing comp results when going to a horses page the first time after update? I entered 20 comps before update and they've all run but no results pop ups showed on any of the horse's pages.Or did Howrse remove the pop up?

I always have my animations turned off so I don't see them, but I turned it on and did get the results pop-up when I visited my first horse's page

So I groomed my onyx and that made the page refresh just as the ufo appeared. Thank goodness it wasn't a pass ufo default smiley (o)default smiley :o still waiting for the feature that brings back ufos after refreshes like the Japanese omikujis get. If gypsum can have it, why can't onyx have it too?? Especially when it's the game that refreshes itself. default smiley (li)default smiley (li)

I love the change that stops me wasting energy on training that I don't need. Now I would like to see the same change brought in for rides please. Its all too easy just to grab max offered when you're in a hurry then realise you actually only needed an hour or two.default smiley :)

Yes, the new training duration feature is so nice. It'll take me awhile to break the habit of *not* selecting the full amount when I get to the end thoughdefault smiley (lol)

Any word on adding back the feature to select numbers of covers in the farm and sales search? I really miss using that feature on my drafts and donkeys as II use covers up on one pair before moving to another. And now I have to look at each horse if I can't remember what they have left.

Yes, me too! I would spend time making sure I didn't waste energy when I knew I was getting close. Now I don't have to! A great improvement! Thank you!

I would also love to see a warning about 3 days before that I am about to lose an employee.

No no no. That's what I use to "kill" my Greyfel on time so they don't live past 30 days.

You could just do comps to use up their energy maybe.

That's what I do with my Greyfell...put him in comps. It would be souseful for all the other horses I blup.

It's been a few months since the update regarding covers disappearing when gelding. Can this issue be fixed please? Gelding is supposed to prevent the ability to offer covers, not deleting covers already in existence. It's such a waste of 60 APs being forced to blup a second colt instead of back breeding to a stud that has been gelded.

Respectfully, whose idea was it to add a banner to non VIP accounts that you can't disable and moves constantly? It's really not nice at all, especially for those of us with health issues that can be triggered by them. It looks like I can't play on AU or UK anymore as I am not risking my health for something like this.

Will there be an update that means players get daily objectives they can accomplish? Got one involving the Falabella bonus which I can't do and today would have been the day to get the free HOP.

Having that as a Devs Corner update would be nice.

Please no.. that will probably lock me out of doing rides with horses that completed/don't need them like divines. I only work my immortal horses nowadays, all already have rides maxed out/they are divines. And those ever irritating time wasting rides objectives drive me nuts as is considering that I don't have time to waste on them. I usually use my daily divines to do the objective except when it's beach rides. Locking me out of doing rides with horses that don't need them will force me into wasting APs to raise a foal to do the rides every time I get the objective now that I'm not working my breeding farm anymore instead of just letting me do them when I work my dailies. That will just make the objectives even more of a pain default smiley (lol)

I wouldn't mind a limit applied to rides as well, if we could turn it on and off, like with simplified training.

I always have horses in progress with rides, but sometimes I may not have enough horses for the amount required for an objective, and will use a divine instead.
But it does get annoying to not have the ability to see the ride progress on the horse's page.
Checking the overall skills progress is one click too many if you have multiple horses finishing rides on the same day.

A toggle would give us the best of both worlds.

Looks like there may be a glitch with the new training update. 14% training left coverts to 7 hours training, not 7h 30.

This is killing me - gosh we need a EC overhaul. I have to go hunting for my new boxes after I retrieve them from the warehouse to add showers and water troughs because the majority of my boxes are on 0% wear due to my employees.
