As usual I'm a bit confused. How many plant horses are there? 7 & then you get Lotus or 7 x each type of plant horse (which seems like a LOT of horses) then you get Lotus. The wording just has me a little confused.

There are 7. If you have them all you unlock nr. 8 called Lotus
If you had them all, and you worked them everyday they'd eat all your droppings in zero time. If they all require the same amount of "feed" of course

when the pass horse change get implemented on servers, do the players get a pm before it happens? I'm curious as to whether i should be stocking up on more AP and pass horses on the AU server or not yet as i'd like to age what i can before it happens but id also like to do it as late as possible because procrastination is life

Yes they do get PM into Official tab,,
On RU server they got PM 11 days before the change's getting implemented,,
And 19 days before the change'll be implemented they made Topic in event's forum for that,,

Change on RU server will get it's place on 7th February and will be the first live server (excluding 3 testing servers) to get this change,,

If you get about 3 droppings per horse then you would have to care for about 70 horses per day, or do one full blup and work a few other horses. Not too bad for an active player.

Instead of the possible 30 passes from pass horses a month + the 1 from loyal player pass, you can only get up to 10 passes a month with a new loyal player pass system. You get max 10 points per day and when you get 30 points you get a pass. We don't know when it is coming to this server, and 3 servers have it already, while it will arrive on a 4th server in three days.

When you send 10 horses 25 yrs+ to heaven you get a divine called Yggdrasil that you can't care for or do anything with. All that happens is when you keep sending older horses to heaven he "gets older" and grows and you get a little photo album where you can scroll through his growing process

There will also be a "horses sent to Safe Haven this month" ranking as well as "all age horses sent to heaven" and "older horses (25yrs+) sent to heaven" rankings

I feel like unless they give us another chance to earn more passes a month, through different ways, they are cheating us out of something that has been here for years, or at least give us divine that will give us a good BMI, such as a NYX Pack or something valuable.

I'm already dreading the day this change will come to the international server if it doesn't get improved

Chompy? Seriously? If we get a horse called Vegeta (hopefully a vegetable divine) ) and a divine called Clumpy I can start a kindergarten here... where Vegeta takes care of the bad bad divine kids
