[Info] The Retired Coat Gallery

This thread is here to show off your Retired Coats. This is not the place to post non retired coats. **The two exceptions would be coats that have been pulled (brief discussions) and the pre release coats.

REMEMBER:

******** absolutely no sales talk, no talk about spares or how many extras of a copy you got and selling them to fund your RC habit this is just a place to talk RCs

* although links and graphics are ok on this thread, they are not allowed normally on public forums

* any negative or unkind comments on artists or coats (or anyone!) will be removed, and depending on the case, it might mean an instant forum ban.

* DO NOT use this as a place to sell your horse/coats-if you feel the need to break this rule, it will mean an instant forum ban...

** Sales ads are NOT allowed in any public forums. Asking for spare coats will now be considered a sales ad. This includes stating that you plan to sell a coat, or point out coats for sale in sales.

* Do not use this place as a spot for rants or complaints-About coats/BG/or each other.

* This is not the place to ask players to price your coats, or to ask others the worth of a coat, you can check uses on your own by hovering your mouse over the gray apple and price it from there.

* This is not the place to bring up the subject of stolen images. Keep in mind that the rules of the BP used to be very different, and many old coats are from that time.
There is not any reason to bring that up, or report the coats.

*Please do not do a coat countdown for soon to retire coats.

* Please do not post coats that are currently in the GA and have either not retired, or will never retire.

* Please do not post coat/bg combos or ask opinions on them, except following coat release.

* Some coats may be removed in the future, whether that be for problems with the coats itself or just because they're clearing room on the server to allow other coats to be uploaded - if you're buying retired coats, please keep that in mind. If you want a permanent copy, I would recommend saving the graphic to your computer

* How to discover who many uses a New GC coat will retire-There is now a coat countdown in the GA, and it will show how many have been used and how many uses there are left.

** There is now a new creations directory which shows all coats. Go to Community>>>Directories>>>Creations>>>Click more criteria, and on the left hand side is a gold and silver apple. Click the silver apple and search to see all retired coats.

* To see who created/how many uses/name/or if you have it already of a RC coat, simply click on the silver apple, and it will tell you.

*** Posting links to other player's coats is NOT allowed and can mean a forum ban.

*#*#*#* If players feel the need break the main topic rules, such as sales ads/coat countdowns/spares-you can expect an instant forum ban without any warning prior to it *#*#*#*

The green uni isn't also under 100 for now, we're at 101, if anyone else wondering why it doesn't show in the trophies as 100 RC

I'm actually in love with this combo for the winged unicorn pony
https://www.howrse.com/elevage/chevaux/cheval?id=63119356&message=rayonHeliosIllimite
I absolutely love when the new RC release matches up really well with the new backgrounds, to the point where it feels like they were made for eachother. There are a couple of other backgrounds too that fit perfectly with the new RCs default smiley (7)

Another combo I love is the Solitude unicorn pony with 'Az erdő mélyén...' by Viki991228.
The pose the pony is in perfectly matches the squirrel so you can make them boop noses default smiley (lol)

I was able to get one of each of the RC apart from the riding uni because i didn't have a suitable horse for it. Quite glad since I completely missed out last month. I did accidentally spend 100 passes on a GA instead of using one from inventory but oh well default smiley (h)
By Retired breeder, 26th July 2020 10:36:27


Haha yes! I also realised that and put that ray on it
By Awsome123, 26th July 2020 10:37:01

Ack. Not my month. After the panic last night when I missed nearly everything because I'd missed putting wings on one, what do you think I did? Got them all nicely lined up in the order I wanted to go. Clicking 'limited' on the white draft uni (the one I wanted to get first....), when I thought 'wait a minute?' Yep. I'd put wings on my white draft uni. Panicked... missed all but the 100 black draft and the 200 that's still going.

Consoled myself by getting this for a song, and on a brown donkey with a (VIP) cover still available too. Wanted it for ages....

Solitude with the squirrel in the woods is a fab combo but I kind of really liked this one;

Anyone who paired their RC draft with a robotic background? I'm still looking for a good HR

Not a robotic combination but I like how the colour fits

RowanGreen, don't worry you are not alone, I had a winged pony unicorn ready and was shocked when the coat didn't pop up either.. *facepalm*

I really wish you could still preview the coats on the purchase page like you used to, I would have never made the mistake otherwise. Luckily I guess there are enough players who get the coats just to sell them, so just bought one then.

I don't think there have been many collection questions as of late, so I found this from 2016. Go collection digging!

@daae

Ooo good idea! This is kinda long so I’ll put it in spoilers.
Click to display

I first got interested in collecting RCs in 2011 after I managed to get my sister into Howrse. I’m not quite sure how she got a GA so early in the game; maybe this was the time when the tutorial started giving GAs instead of a pass; but her first horse had this coat
Vivaldi - Spring
And I utterly fell in love with it. I got my first RC around this time too. I might not remember it particularly well, but I’m fairly certain it was this
Fire Dancer
But didn’t start avidly collecting until 2017. Weirdly long gap, yeah?

There are a huge amount of coats I adore so I won’t bore you with them lol.

As for an estimate on how much I’ve spent... uhh... I’ve got 364 coats total (including duplicates) let’s say they were anywhere between 200-600 passes in the sales, which is my usual price range when buying from the sales. That would be 72,800-218,400 passes. Subtracting 13,500 (the ones I bought from the GA myself, so only 100 passes each.)
Not including equus, cheap deals, or luck, let’s say... a total anywhere between 59,300 minimum and 204,900 maximum.
Ouch, thankfully not all paid for with real money lol

When did you start coat collecting?
I really started "collecting" in 2014.

What was your first coat?

Jewel of Serendipity by RobbinLara, from 2012! Unfortunately, I sold it a couple years later. default smiley :$ My second I do not remember the name of, but I also sold it. So my third, and oldest, RC is APHA Chiricahua Paint by RobbinLara.

What is your favourite coat?
Of the ones I own, here are a few of my faves:




































How much have you spent on your collection, both passes and equus? An estimate is fine.
A very rough estimate is 50,000 passes (500 old passes).default smiley :o

Ooooh fun idea!

Click to display

When did you start coat collecting?
Well, I had started collecting a few years ago, perhaps 2014 or 2015. Since then I had left the game once and sold off nearly my entire RC collection. So since then, I'd have to say I re-started collecting last year in 2019.

What was your first coat?
The coat I've had the longest and kept even after selling my collection is Větrník by sforcia.


My very, very first RC was a Pre-CS coat who sits in heaven since younger me wasn't really in-tune with horse value.


What is your favourite coat?
I have quite a few favourites; I don't own all of them but hope to own each one some day.





Favourites I have yet to own..

Honestly have NO idea.. my collection isn't very big haha.

When did you start coat collecting?
Started the game on this account ~2011, started collecting maybe 1-3 years after that?

What was your first coat?
Not sure about my first RC, but this was the first GA I ever got (on my previous account back when they gave out GAs). I keep a copy in my farm for the memories.


This was one of my first RCs and I just fell in love.


What is your favourite coat?
Oof, that's a tough question because there are so many beauties on this game. Here's a few:







(This one just makes me smile)


How much have you spent on your collection, both passes and equus? An estimate is fine.
I have a smaller collection with about 170 RCs * 200 passes, so about 34,000 passes at minimum? I've traded and given away a fair few over the years, so who knows by now! Definitely worth it, though. :]

This looks fun~

When did you start coat collecting?

I started playing in 2013, but I didn't really *start* until 1-2 years later.

What was your first coat?

Ahhh, I don't exactly remember! :,D Probably Ƒ ⇜Valentine⇝ by Fhebral, but I have older coats that didn't retire until later. (Link to horse)



She was a random purchase as I didn't know what RCs were in the beginning. When it suddenly retired, that silver apple gave me quite the scare! default smiley xd

What is your favourite coat?

Asdfgh that's hard! My favorite is listed above, but here are a few others:



(Definitely tied for my favorite! Link to horse.)

How much have you spent on your collection, both passes and equus?

Probably around 10k+ passes. A real wallet drainer, not gonna lie. default smiley (8)

I might as well do it to, answering my own question:
[spoiler]
When did you start collecting?
A few months ago, at the may coat release. I was getting jealous of all the pretties in this topic.

What is your favorite coat?
That I own:



That I don't own:













How much have you spent on your collection, both passes and equus?
It's only been a few months, so not much in comparison to some of you. About 1.5 million equus and 1,500 passes.
