Brrrrr…. it’s definitely getting chilly outside. Time to celebrate the holiday cheer with a winter event in Horse Fable! ❄️

🎄 12 Days of Winter

It’s time to celebrate the end of the year and what better way than giving out gifts?! From today until December 24th, you can collect a daily gift from us. Visit the Winter Holiday calendar at Community -> 12 Days of Winter.

 

❄️ Winter Map

Based on our calculations, the winter season should be hitting Hoofbeat plains right….NOW! Snow has dropped onto the town and Hoofbeat Plains which means our winter map is now explorable! Some locals took it upon themselves to plant a few new holiday trees and spruce them up with some joyful lighting. Some of the winter holiday items can be found while exploring the map. Careful, the white wolves and white stoats tend to get into mischief. Our winter map will be hanging around until the spring season on March 19th.

☃️ Winter 2023 Items

Every year we aim to release new seasonal items and we tend to go overboard during the winter holiday. Today we are releasing several new items and welcoming back even more.

 

2023 Winter Tack Set

This year's limited edition winter tack set is inspired by beautiful holiday rocking horses. This tack set is made to give a wooden appearance and turn your horse into your very own rocking horse!

 

White Wolf

A pack of white wolves have been discovered roaming around these parts. Seems they like to travel with the snow. Will has managed to wrangle a few and offer them for sale in the General Store.

 

White Owl

Also joining us along with the snow is a flock of white owls. Will had less of an issue convincing them to roost in his shop given his rafters are the perfect place to rest.

 

Winter Tail Ribbons

Due to popular demand, tail ribbons are now for sale in the General Store. These ribbons come in red, gold, and green and are only available for the winter holiday season.

 

Winter Holiday Lights

Also due to request, a set of vibrant neck lights have been crafted to light up your trusty steed.

 

Gift Bow

Give the gift of that amazing horse to your best friend! This giant gift bow wraps around your horse's body and is reminiscent of all those winter car commercials. Anyone in the market for a 2023 Leopard Mustang?

🐴 Horse Page Mobile Optimization

There have always been some derpy parts of the horse profile page while viewing it on the phone. We’ve polished those areas up a bit to be more clean. We’ll continue working on other derpy areas of the site but wanted to start with the most used page. 

 

🐴 AMH Release

The much awaited Appalachian Mountain Horse will soon appear in Horse Fable. We plan to release the AMH on December 21st along with some other goodies. 

 

We will be discussing art options for the Brumbian and Walkaloosa campaigns soon! Stay tuned for updates on those.

 

🙏 Thank You to Shokubeni

After several years of help to us, Shoe will be moving on from her role as moderator with us. Shoe is one of our oldest players and has served as mentor to both Bed and I through the years. In her role, Shoe helped us beyond just being a moderator but also through art, suggestions, and player advocacy. We will always have a place on our staff team for Shoe, but we understand the need to take a step back from things. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Shoe, for everything you’ve done for us. We wish you the best in your next ventures!

 

🦟 Bug Squashes

We are currently looking into several auction issues along with other bugs reported. We’re also working on fixing the variety of art issues that have been reported.

 

Next update: December 21

 

Cheers,

Bedouin & Curly
