Happy winter everyone! We are updating a day earlier than usual for our winter fun due to myself, Curly, being away on the 20th. Today's update is a big one and has taken quite a bit of heavy lifting to finish before the end of the year. Per request, horse coat colors have been made a bit more vivid. This is part 1 of 2 updates for base color updates. Additionally, it's winter in Hoofbeat Plains!

⛄ Winter in HoFa!

Well, well, well, it looks as though an unexpected snow has fallen into Hoofbeat Plains. Winter came early this year and all the locals are celebrating! Hoofbeat Plains is expected to be covered in snow until March 20th, 2026! This also means winter dyes and a few winter items can now be found while exploring. As a note, fall dyes are still in explore due to the winter solstice actually being tomorrow. :) 

❄️ Winter Holiday Items!

The Emporium has been stocked with many holiday items including our Snowflake tacksets, winter companions (now with added twin boost!), and many more seasonal items. Additionally Magic and Spectral Tokens are up for sale in the General Store. These will be on sale until February 1st, 2026. 

🎄 Winter Bundles

To make buying winter items a bit easier, a few Winter bundles have been placed at the Ingot Store until February 1st at midnight EST.  Be sure to stock up on all your favorite winter items, tokens, and more! 

🌈 Base Color Redos!

We’ve been hard at work completing the more vivid colors of all the currently released new art work. Today we are releasing the updated colors for: Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Clydesdales, and Welsh C! Next update will include the light generic adult and foal and our released new art cross breeds. Later we will begin redoing our files for the unreleased art breeds along with the new english, western, halters, polos and blankets. We hope you all enjoy exploring all the newly updated colors!

📅 End of Year Wind Down

The last few weeks of 2025 we will be pausing any major updates and focusing all staff work on prepping to begin a consistent art release schedule beginning January 10th. At that time we plan to have our 2026 year timeline ready to give out expected dates for fixes, features, and art. Happy holidays everyone and we hope you have a wonderful season!

Well see you in 2026!

Cheers,

Curly, Roze, ERA & beni
