Cookie looks like a standard chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips, but there's something off about Koekje's "chips" colours. They're too blue/purple tinged to be be chocolate. I was thinking they could be some sort of fruit, but they're too plump and the colour doesn't match any fruit I can think of.

I actually have a nail polish in that exact colour and sheen, so the thought of a food item with what looks like nail polish chunks in it is very gross

tutorial. Some of this may be the same but this is the basic idea: When you pick your first horse it takes you to that version of Gaia, Emma's horse. You learn how to care for her. Emma shows you what specialty the horse will do best at and what competition to enter. Then the horse gives birth and you get two foals (one male, one female) that are the ones you first picked out. After that Emma shows you the Auctions. She picked out 4 horses for you to choose from. They are all 500 equus and the auction is staged for you to win it. Then Emma gives the horse BMI and shows you the new beginner objectives.

Instead of daily objectives, you get 3 apprentice objectives a day, which are easier. I don't know exactly when you stop getting them--at 100 completed perhaps? From what I understand, every 25 objectives you complete you can choose to get access to a feature or you could get passes. Though I think even if your seniority is 20 days you can still open an EC if you haven't done 25 objectives yet or why else would passes be an option? The prizes for the objectives are 500 equus, 3 AP, and 10 carrots. I'm not sure if they will change or not. My objectives today were "Use 1 Aging Point", "Register a horse in an equestrian center", and "Play for 3 hours with a foal at once". These will be much better for newer accounts because most of them don't have the resources to cover female donkeys or to win rosettes.

I'm calling her a Huckleberry cookie, since the theme of the promo is western (where I live) and Huckleberries are very common around here, rather native to this area and not found anywhere else. They turn things purple, much like the color of Koekje.

goes back to being the one that original Blitzen came from (tree decorating), or something new, then there's a chance it will at least allow them to gain some skills.

You don’t get to choose a feature or passes, instead it’s you can pay that amount of passes to unlock the feature early or you can complete that number of objectives, so seniority doesn’t come into it anymore.

yes it does... you have to wait to complete it...
i love that the grand prix is an option tho... annoying that i had to open hops for it

I wonder when the new tutorial will start? And would the new players still get the golden apple on their first horse like i did?

and when does the pinatas and the stagecoach promo begin?

To answer your second question, I got the GA on a horse I purchased from auctions - yes, you get a third horse, but bought w/ 500e from auctions (rigged so you can win...). The tutorial told me to put the GA on that horse.
