Here is what will happen later but not right now...just a coming soon.

Maybe not. Because UK Howrse don't have Trakehner so they changed other breed.

Anyone else sat here going "those ear bonnets look disgusting, not putting one on my horse" or is it just me. And what's up with getting rid of Atlante and Centaur packs for Posiden's? I know it's with the whole "we're putting tack on horses even though we said for the past 4 years that we would never do that" but can't we just chose not to see the tack on horses and keep the now retired Atlante stuff?

ezzey wezzy you are surely not the only one.
But you will be able to turn visible tack off if you don't want to see it. There will be a check box under 'My account'.

I have a question - is tack just not going to be visible for the horses with golden/diamond apples? And how do saddle pads and saddles fit around pegasus wings?

I have FG horseshoes
x 117

And 27 other ones, why would I get money for them instead of the blankets? I mean I don't have enough horses to put them on to get the blanket!

They probably won't... I was worried about that too.

I got this message today when I got on:

Hello mckeefamily4w,

In a few days, new types of equipment will be added to the game: saddle blankets, polo wraps and ear bonnets!

In order to add these new types of equipment, all the existing types of Horseshoes as well as the Atalante and Centaur Packs will be removed from the game. Additionally, all the equipment parts contained in the Poseidon's Pack will no longer be available outside this pack.
This means that:

- all your horses that have store-bought horseshoes will receive a saddle cloth instead
- all your horses that have at least one equipment item from the Black Market will receive a full Poseidon's Pack
- horseshoes in your inventory will be bought back from you at the price of 50 Equus each
- Atalante and Centaur Packs will become Poseidon's Packs
- Poseidon items in your inventory will be merged into Poseidon's Packs

These changes could take a few hours to complete. We apologize for the inconvenience this could cause during the transition period.

Have fun,
The Howrse Team



What does it mean? and What about the black market Items?

Based on screen-caps someone posted in here previously I believe the difference between EC tack and the best quality store bought tack will be 1 bonus point per skill. I think that extra 1 point becomes irrelevant considering the range of GPs people blup at on this server and the various bonus's your blupper's competitors might be carrying.
I don't know about you but I generally don't give my blupper's bonus packs, GAs and what ever else, so that 1 point makes no difference to me at all.



By Black Market items they mean loose pieces of Posiedon's tack or Centaur/Atalante tack. For instance, if you have a horse with Poseidon's Horseshoes it will be given a whole Poseidon's Pack
Any loose items you have in your inventory will also be turned into Complete Poseidon's Packs.

From what i read, it will be best to equip a poseidon tack so the horse recieves a full pack

It shud be in a spoler

Does anyone have a working picture of the Gypsy Vanner coats? I havent had a chance to see them yet because the images aren't working. If anyone could show me, that would be super appreciated! Im sure Im not the only one who hasnt seen them yet

I love these new coats! Thank you Ow!

After the parade, you get all the unused tack in it in your inventory

How are they planning on putting a saddle on a pegasus?

Can't wait for the Tennessee walkers!!

So now, in light of the tack changes...if I want to switch a horse from Western to Classic (or vice-versa)...I'm going to have to put a Poseidon Pack on it, or lose my tack?

Because I don't know about the rest of you...but I'm not willing to put that much equus/passes into a measly blup. Annnd that puts a major dent in specialty-switching as a perk. It's no longer going to qualify as a perk. They may want to rethink that.

They could make it to where if you have that perk...there is no loss of tack...which would in turn make it a more valuable perk.


I'm not against the tack changes...just the part where you lose tack if you remove it. I don't have to buy a saddle every time I take it off my real life horse, why should this be different?

I realize it is a game...but they generally promote this type of change as making the game experience "more realistic". In this case, it's not.

Shados, Ow answered that on the "Upcoming equipment changes" topic, page two.

Thanks, Nerei. Good to know they plan to fix that.

I was looking at some of the best horses entered in the parade, and I came across a type of horse I haven't seen before. The horses in the parade are all breeds in the game, right? Is it a new breed?

He is a Connemara.

Thanks! That was really confusing me.

I hear ya! I think the same thing.

has the change happened yet??
