I remember when I first started that when I had to put my horse in the box to find horse picks, combs and tub of grease. Equus for your Equine centre and for your horses where separated funds and how happy I was when they combined.

Remember reading about horses on this game used to colick and that they needed shots like dewormers and be vaccinated illnesses and how happy that the game no longer had that part of the game no more.

thankyou for the star rain, and the free passes from Quidecim. Even a free mash is welcome over here in Deveron stables default smiley ;). I was here when we had to vaccinate and choose whether to bed or horses in the meadow or the stable based on the temperature, and how great it was to find a rug and not have to worry about it for that horse. I was disappointed when these challenges were removed from the game, they made it more interesting .

Happy Twentieth! Here's to many, many more!

So many memories over my time here. The best memories all revolve around start a NIB project and joining into NIB community. It was a sad day to see the loss of 350 GP foundies from being ever created again, but I must admit, I do get excited every time I have a Divine drop a foundation and seeing the new GP!

Add me to those who remember needing to vaccinate the horses, companions being an item for equestrian center boxes...Oh, and the ability to have your first horse be able to be sold, die, etc.

Anyhow, think my favorite memory goes to the first Lottery event when I won a Fire Balios.

Not as active as I once was (not going into details about why) but Im glad to see Howrse still kicking around.

Got a Helios Ray and a Hera’s Pack.

Oh man, the horse vaccinations and the jobs we use to have. The original pets that you had to put in the EC boxes. Good ol’ days right there. default smiley (y)

But the thing that I always remember is the most special divine there was in the game. The Cowbra. Would love to see him come back in some way or form. What a wandering horse he would be…default smiley (a)

The French server still has a Cowbra. It's not quite the same as having one here, but at least he's not fully gonedefault smiley :)

My earliest memory from the game is that i really wanted to buy a horse which had a ghost fur and i was so excited when i finally bought it !(i was new and had no clue about golden apples)
I have nice memories from the server i came from -the community was so nice and cozy
and i had a barb horse i named "The Barb Fairy" since ive turned him into a fairy and he was so cute default smiley *-)
And lastly i remember ive enjoyed many of the events on the server (espcially the great challange back then when we had lottery)

I know in the past on my old account I used to breed negative GP Welsh. It was fun seeing that GP drop every generation.

I also remember the time when the NIB community was big and active. But with the RG foundies there isn't much point in breeding NIB for me so these days I just collect my own bred RG foundies my Yellow Dwarfs produce for me. default smiley (lol)

Happy Anniversary Howrse! default smiley <:o)

Thinking of the best memories I have had since joining. Two things pop out the most:

- When I had joined a team and was blupping constantly around the clock with the other team members, chatting and laughing.

- When I had joined the Mod team. Loved every minute of it. default smiley (y)

20 years is crazy, and the fact I've been on here for 10 of those is... also crazy default smiley (lol)

I think my favourite memory is when I was young I would EAGERLY await being able to get the one free pass from that log in for 30 days and then groom a horse thing

I would use said pass to buy a Golden Apple every time. All of my first horses have apples from that.

The other would be coming to the game during COVID, I was super young when I started this account so I didn't log on for I think like 2-3 years and somehow it didn't get deleted, so coming back to this game during COVID, it was like a safe place.

Happy 20 years!! default smiley <:o)

Happy anniversary Howrse!! default smiley <:o) It's crazy how far this game has come, I remember playing it when I was little with all my siblings and how much I just adored being able to have my own horse! Even if they were pixels it meant the world to me. I also used this game to overcome my social anxiety. Even the thought of talking to people made me sick, so I started small by talking on the forums, sending friend requests, and finally responding to a PM! Crazy right?
We love you Howrse! Here's to twenty more years! default smiley (l)default smiley <:o)default smiley (l)

For some reason all pastry males = 1,000p
Females = 1,300p
Except
Click to display
Christmas pudding (male) = 1,300p
Yule log (female) = 1,800p, which I think is to much.

Remember Cowbra and how special he was. Also Mr and grumpy Mrs Hubert in charge of the store and it was much more difficult to look after horses way back then.
