Howrse turns 20!


HellOw everyone,

It's already been 20 years of Howrse!

20 years of breeding, competing, collecting, sharing, customizing, grinding...

A game is nothing without its players! Thank you for making Howrse what it has been for the last 20 years: a community game where you never play alone.



Let us know what your best memories of Howrse are.default smiley (ow)

Happy Twentieth Anniversary!
Love from the Howrse teamdefault smiley (l)

Wait, they released the avatar banner!? Was it a Discord-only thing? Please tell me it wasn't, I really wish they'd stop doing major announcements and releases over Discord. default smiley :'( I don't mind it to a small extent for FAQs because the main site isn't really suitable for that, but everything else...

Okay, good. Well, not good that it's in limbo but that a bunch of players didn't miss it. default smiley (y)

I'd argue the FAQ is MOST suited to being on the site is actually a FAQ for, considering you don't need to go searching for it on a third party website that's now restriction access to a number of players, personally.

but I understand where you're coming from.

I like the howrse merchandise in the above picture lol I almost kept my zaldia bag but smelled like house fire smoke. It was black and lost my howrse shirts.

I am gonna say it, don't think anything more is coming. The 20 years card event will end tommorow, and the official birthday was last week.

I am kinda happy I stopped buying passes beginning of 2025. Things have gotten too expensive it is all 'give us money'. Just enjoying creating and blupping/bolding my own foundie now and then. default smiley (lol)

I also can't see anything else happening, the moment has passed.

Ah well, here's to another 20 years.

the IRONY that they released a survey to players with 5-6 OTHER online horse games in the questions?

Like I had no idea any of these other games existed until you listed them for me default smiley (8)

now I've signed up for 3 other horse games like this one. Thanks for the list, great way to expose your customers to your competition

they only did those AFTER everyone started complaining how lack luster the "celebration" was. they are trying to make it seem like they had more planned. Also to note I've check them daily and all I've caught on them is 3 NOT special UFO's think AP and a mash I forget what the. 3rd was.

They did say there'd at least be an avatar banner, and I do think we'll get one at some point. Not sure if there'll be anything else, though.

I just hope it's not more sales. default smiley (lol)

my fear is it's going to be everyone gets a free Vigniti cause that's a big complaint. here's the issue if that happens I want my 2500+ passes I spent back or they need to make it so having 2 isn't worthless.

But then you would have 2 of them.

Two of them would be absolutely pointless though, as you can’t benefit from the perk twice.

2 are worthless. only one will earn passes.

If they end up doing some kind of game where you can get Viginti like they did with Quindecim but *after* the event's over, and with no prior announcement... yeah, I'd be disappointed with that at this point. I did spend passes to get him and the time to do it would have been on the 8th, before people spent a lot of passes. I'd be happy for the people getting him since it looks like a lot of people are going to miss out on him but it should have been announced if that was the plan.

I sorta don't think they will, though. I think they're just gonna quietly lock this topic at some point and that'll be the end of it. Maybe we'll get a promo code sometime.

Hellooooo, Howrse! We’re still waiting. Anything? Lol. I’ve began writing comments on their FB page asking if/when something is coming and no reaction yet. They really are going to sweep this under the rug, huh? I’m losing hope everyday.

Wouldn't be surprised if they just locked this thread and then never spoke about it again.

I must admit, this event was easy to get tons of prizes, got all the divines and prizes multiple times. Wish the birthday divine was allowed to have more than 1 to have the perk working.

The event wasn't easy, it was all luck based. Some players got a lot of free goodies, good on them for sure. But others got the short end of the stick. Still hoping Howrse will release something for the rest of us to show we where here on the 20th birthday. But it is awfully quiet... why can't they just put out a statement or something. It has been a week.

Are the admin UFO's still a thing? I was traveling when it started and didn't have the chance to spend time stalking their pages.

considering the admin UFOs were rewarded to one single person a day (in some cases two, but in others there was a two day span between the listed recipients), I hardly count that as a "generous" giveaway imo. :\
