I personally quite liked the prizes this time, a nice selection. Though, it did feel a bit tight with the deadline. I didn't miss any days, but I still struggled to finish on my other servers. I finished with a couple of days to spare on this server as I spent on jokers to ensure I got the golds, but I do feel that it was a bit close.

Just something else, I wish the crown fragments were a bit higher during these kind of events to compensate for the random factor when it comes to collecting the fragments. The great challenge has the right idea here, taking it from 18 to 32 to make up for the lack of objective fragments, so why can't we go up to something around the middle to factor this in? I bring this up as I almost got all objective fragments on US and used all my rolls, but still ended up with under 600 fragments. I probably missed about 40-50 objective fragments, putting it still lower the average amount of around 720. Over 100 is a big difference when the crowns only give 18 and are 170 a piece.

I generally liked this event - it was easy and didn't take much time to do each day. I really liked the ability to choose your prizes as it allowed me to really stock up on some items that I preferred over ones that I rarely use. I was also able to complete it easily within the time we had and was then able to go back and try for some of the prizes that I missed.

The only complaint (if you can call it that) I have is that many of the gold-level prizes really did not seem like they should have been considered gold. Bronze and silver ones were more than satisfactory, but there didn't seem to be much of a step up in value or usefulness when it came to gold. The best prize (for my uses at least) was the Harmony Pack, which was great. But with how many gold prizes there were on the boards, I would have liked to see one other prize a bit higher in value, like a Philosopher's Stone or Morpheus Arms. Or maybe, use these higher prizes as the reward at the end of each board instead of having gold prizes that are skipped over half the time because of an unlucky spin.

I was easy to complete, but I like the possibility of really exciting prizes, even if I don't always get them.

I really enjoyed this event. It was simple and I progressed smoothly but I did feel a slight time crunch Tom this last weekend and ended up buying about 5 packs for the whole event. I agree with the bronze and silver gifts being good selections for what they are! For the gold gifts I didn’t like being offered the animation coat and gregarious again. Although it seems like howrse likes to offer the same prizes a few times in a row, I assume I help people that aren’t regularly on not miss out. All of the other gifts I was pretty excited for especially the ghost companions! It would be cool if we could shuffle a one gift once a day? Out of all the gifts I think I only got 2 where I didn’t want any of the 3 prizes available. I’ll definitely be watching out for when this event comes around again!

While the event itself was okay and easy enough to progress in without spending any passes, some of the reward choices were just not it for me. Almost all gold gifts that I got had at least one special coat item in them - which are things I don't really care about.

I'm sure there's people who collect them, but in some cases, two out of three options were coats. In my opinion it'd be better to have a variety of BM items rather than just coats, but to each their own. Other than that, I have no complaints to make. I got the main prize without issues, plus some BM items that I wanted.

The event was easy to understand and did not require a lot of time or resources to do. I was able to complete the event without using passes. The rewards in the bronze and silver levels seemed about right but the gold level didn't seem much of an improvement. I appreciated that there seemed to be a lot more chests and fewer blank spots than in previous versions. The artwork was ok, nothing stellar, but the titles of each stage were strange. Every time I saw the last one about something going wrong I thought it was with my game itself. The grand prize of a Nordic Starry Aura is really not much of a prize since the Starry Auras are pretty worthless. Not as worthless as the Pastry horses but pretty close! Because of the randomness of the fragments given, it is impossible to ever get enough fragments to actually get a divine horse. I also did not understand the link between the Nordic horses and space. That being said, I am happy to now have a few days off to just play my game and take care of my pixel horses! And if any devs actually read this, please consider letting us trade in 25 acre pastures for a 100 acre pasture! default smiley ^)

I can't say I was overly impressed with this promo. I finished (despite landing on just about every -1,-2, and -3 space). No passes spent.

I found the prizes to be quite disappointing. The only prizes I liked were the crown, harmony pack, and the fleece. I lost count how many times I landed on a "gold" prize only to see a selection of useless coat items (April Fools, Multihorn, etc) and a low level BMI. Not impressed. Definitely not a promo I would spend my passes on.

I'm at the point where I'm not participating in these promos because they have awesome prizes. I'm only taking part to make progress on my event trophies and get fragments for the new divine.

This is the first event in a very long time that I have been able to complete without using passes. That being said, the prizes on the boards were a bit meh and the only final prize I cared about was the golden fleece, but I'm not going to say no to getting to hoard more free stuff I'll never use.

I was actually very surprised by the ease of progressing in this event. The gifts were decent, but I do wish the gold ones were a bit better. I really like the Nordic aura star. What a unique idea! Overall, 8.5/10 Howrse. Good job with this one!

This event was good. It's not my favorite type of event, cause I dislike the random chance of rolls and numbers to progress. a set amount to progress each day for me would be better, but I loved how easy and straightforward it was and it didn't take a ton of time. The gold prizes were really disappointing most of the time. I don't care for special coats, so those options weren't exciting. It would be better to have a greater variety of options.

I know some of the prizes probably didn't stack up for more experienced/long time players but as a fairly new player there was a good range of useful items imo.

I really liked this event, easy to progress and I completed it with no passes.

I got some really good prizes as well which is another bonus default smiley :d

I skipped the event this time
The prizes really didn´t appeal to me at all, although I hesitate to call them bad.
I will give the event this, it´s easy to complete without spending passes and requires very little time investment.
So I really hope it comes back around again, perhaps with better prizes, especially for the golden gifts.

Good event, liked it and the prizes.

The part that made me laugh a little was the title for the last section.
It was something along the lines of "something's wrong" and when I read it, I was like, "Well... that's an odd glitch."
I tried to refresh the page and was wondering what was going wrong with the title, and the words still remained.
I was like, "Yes, I see what you're saying, but what's wrong with you to make you say something's wrong? Nothing seems to be wrong."
And then I realized... It's the title!
...Let's be glad I didn't accidentally report the title as having a loading error... XD

I enjoyed it. I won some wonderful prizes even though I didn’t get the jackpot or divine. I played it purely for the fun of it and was actually able to enjoy it! default smiley :)default smiley (l)

I really enjoyed this event and the prizes. I finished all the boards a day early and only spent passes to go back and try for a few missed gold gifts. If I did it again I would have utilized the joker, but this time around did not. A few free jokers would have been fun. The prizes were fair and there was variety, and I really enjoyed getting to choose from three options each time there was a prize. Lots to choose from and lots of BMIs default smiley :)

The Starry Aura item is so intriguing, a great final prize in my opinion. Hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Thanks Howrse default smiley (l)

I always enjoy the ride events and I think Howrse did a great job this time. I liked the theme overall and I liked the way the title of each level told a story. I thought that was a cute addition.
I'm happy with my prizes and I had no problem completing all levels. I actually finished with a full day (and the remaining couple hours this morning) to spare.

This event was easy to progress in and had some fairly good prizes. I did finish the promotion without using any passes which I also like. In general I don’t think it is worth it to spend passes to get useless divines. With that being said, there should never be low level prizes that we can make in the game. I do like the fact that players could choose their prize.
I would play this again as it doesn’t take up too much time and was easy to play every daydefault smiley :)

I've seen people say this before about other events but I find the pop-up when you win fragments a bit unnecessarily dramatic, and the fact you have to close it... can the fragments just fly off to the prizes icon or something instead?

Sisyphus Stone as a gold prize option? Really? The jackpot wasn't worth worrying about completing the boards. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with my multiple Kairos Dials and such. default smiley :)

I liked the prizes this time because I was able to choose alternatives to all the companions and got 3 sisyphus stones which is one of my favourites. I amazed myself by how many of the questions I was able to answer.

The game itself was a bit boring just click to spin and the route is chosen for you. Was also a bit miffed that if I wanted the Golden fleece - Yes - I had to also have the Starry Aura - No.

I finished easily without spending any passes so thats always good. It would be even better if I could not put all those fragments for a horse I do not want as UFOs on my page.

I am so thankful that one of the daily objectives was to participate in a competition, rather than win it. That made it much more doable for me and my horses.

I played every day and did every objective, and yet I barely made it in time. It felt a little bit too close for comfort. I agree that some of the gold prizes were not worthy of gold, but I am happy that I was able to choose my rewards accordingly.

Some of the questions were difficult to answer. I don't ride horses IRL, so I have no idea what the answers were. I had to google them, which kind of defeated the purpose.

Overall, I'd give this event a 9/10. default smiley (y)

I am very critical of (most) events on Howrse but I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised with this one!
Easy to understand and to complete (actually was able to complete without buying any passes). One thing though is I wish that the prizes were configurated differently. Some prizes were either not really gold level (in my opinion) or appeared very often (I found myself claiming a lot of coats for the gold prizes).

Overall, I'd give this event a 8.5/10!

Enjoyed another easy event, especially with some of the others that make the rotation taking a lot more of my time on a daily basis. It's nice to use the same horse and get all the extra moves you need at once. That's really refreshing. The gold prizes were a little hit or miss, but generally there was something in them that I wanted.
