Howrse - Howrse

I am just returning from a yearlong hiatus from playing Howrse, (as of February 2026). Before I took a break, I played for over a year, but I definitely feel rusty... with pretty much everything.

After I’ve gotten back into the swing of game, again, I will be more competitive. For the moment, however, I am just focusing on repairing my EC, selling many horses of many breeds, and trying to remember how to BLUP, LOL! I will be reaching out to see if some of my old friends are still playing, and I look forward to making new ones!

Seeing as I’m currently relearning how to pay Howrse, I’m going to take it slow when it comes to joining any teams. I’m hoping to begin with only one, to begin with, since I’m well aware of the commitment necessary to be a reliable teammate. Since my favorite breed on Howrse is the Lusitano, I’m hoping to begin with a Lusitano team.

In the future, I will be considering joining additional Grand Prix teams, based on my personal breed preferences: Lusitano, Selle Francis, Peruvian Paso, Lipizzaner, Mustang, Argentinian Criollo, Thoroughbred, Nokota, Tennessee Walker, Vanner.

I’m a returning adult player, (over 40), who hasn’t really been consistently playing, or even logging on, for nearly two years. I almost feel like I’m new to Howrse, all over again, even though I first started at the end of November 2023 and played daily for about a year. My Blupping is definitely rusty, but, thankfully, I have an entire guide of Blup Schedules on my EC, Babylon Gardens’ forum. I strongly recommend everyone to make use of it, and/or, please, send me a message, (either on Howrse, or Discord - Domina Giavania (Jen13)), if you have had any different methods that you have found successful, and I’ll add it/them to the guides, (any additional Blup Guides will be added to the forum, and the player who provided it will be credited).

I am a Collector. I have all the breeds: regular, as unicorns, (if available), as Pegasus, and as Alicorns (Winged-Unicorns). I’m working on completing my Collection of coat colors for each breed, in each category. I’m slowly gathering the special coats, and, I’m hoping to collect all of the Special Horses... eventually.

The Collection that I am proudest and most grateful for is, by far, my Guide of Blup Schedules for all of the breeds! *Most of the schedules were created and written by a former player called “Saint”*. I have added to the list, updating it to include the more recently added breeds. And, if anyone has any suggestions for a BLUP Schedule that they have found works really well, please feel free to message me and I’ll add it to the guide! I have the BLUP Schedule Guide posted in Equestrian Center > Management > Forum . Or, if you want to take a quick look: Riding Horses, Grand Prix Horses, Draft Horses, Ponies, and Donkeys.

Oh, and most of my horses are named after TV/Movie/Book characters, or from song lyrics, usually inspired by something that I’m watching, reading, or listening to around the time I name the horse!

Babylon Gardens is currently undergoing renovation to update to larger boxes that all have water troughs and showers. For this reason, we are not taking on boarders at this time.

With over 100 acres just for agriculture, I grow my own fallow, flax, carrots, oats, apples, longhorn cattle for leather, and haul my own wood to build my box stalls. I also have over 1000 acres of grazing for the horses to enjoy, when he/she isn’t relaxing in the soft flax bedding of his/her personal box. Missions are Taking Lessons and Skidding Wood.

I make my own saddles, bridles, pads, pollo wraps, ear bonnets, bell boots, mash, manure/fertilizer, water troughs, and box stalls. I’m trying to make my Equestrian Center as self sufficient as possible. While the Center is English, I do have a number of Western horses for the Grand Prix.

My Breeding Program, aside from the horse’s needed to play the game, is a reflection of many of my favorite horse breeds, most of whom I’ve loved working with in real life, or breeds that I hope to get the opportunity to ride, one day. In the game, my favorite breeds are Pure Spanish Horses, Friesians, Warlanders, (though they don’t show up as Warlanders), Lusitanos, and Mustangs. I have collected all of the horse/pony/draft/donkey breeds. Now, I’m trying to finish my Collection of Unicorns, Pegasus, and finally, Alicorns, (Pegasus/Unicorns), from each breed. I know it’s going to take a long time and a lot of resources.
