🐴 NEW: Chincoteague Pony Art

Today we welcome the new Chincoteague Pony! This breed was released alongside our Save the Beebe Ranch fundraiser in 2023. Chincoteague Ponies are only available to purchase using Chincoteague Pony coins. They also can rarely be caught in the wilds! Chincoteague Pony coins will be for sale from now until April 30 at 11:59pm EST/game time.

As an exciting change to Chincoteague Coins, these now offer 15 color points, 250 performance stat allotment, TB of 1, and a BV of +/- 6 per stat. This is the first of our custom coin changes from this suggestion. 

🪙 Fundraiser: Museum of Chincoteague Island

Previously HoFa has aimed to launch at least one fundraiser a year for causes and organizations we believe in. In 2023 with the release of the Chincoteague Pony, we raised $2,556 for the Save the Beebe Ranch fundraiser through the Museum of Chincoteague Island. With the re-release of Chincoteague Ponies we are renewing our dedication to fundraising for the Museum of Chincoteague Island by contributing 25% of Chincoteague Pony coin sales to supporting their museum. Chincoteague Pony coins will be for sale for $5 for 2 coins in the ingot store from now until April 30 at 11:59pm EST/game time. To donate to the museum directly, follow this link.

🐴 NEW BREED: Elvish Warhorse!

Congratulations to the Elvish Warhorse campaign for successfully completing the requirements to become a crossbreed! The Elvish Warhorse is our first breed with more than two purebreds in the cross. The EWH is 25% Arabian, 25% Morgan, and 50% Irish Cob. To join the registry visit them here!

🏆 NEW: Mass Enter All

For years players have requested a much quicker way to enter all of their horses into shows. Today, we are releasing the mass enter all option that allows for mass entering a single show or ALL of one type of show for both discipline and halter shows. This new mass enter all is an expansion to the Enter All 2 (EA2) and is included for everyone who has a gold or platinum upgrade and has bought EA2. 

Discipline Entering

To use the mass enter all simply go to the show page, search by discipline or by discipline and  level. This will filter to show the number of all horses you can enter and a total bit cost to enter them all in their maximum number of discipline shows. Also here, you can enter based on a single show using the far right column. This feature DOES NOT follow any of your enter all rules. It is only to either 1. mass enter all of your horses in all of their available discipline shows OR  2. enter all horses into a single show from the shows page. No more opening show tabs!

Halter Entering

Similarly, you use the same steps but on the halter shows page. Filter by breed or breed and gender to enter all horses into all available halter shows OR enter all for a single show.

NOTE: Allow time for this feature to run before leaving the page or opening more tabs to enter more shows. If you have lots of horses it takes time to enter them and skipping the queue can cause issues for your showing, horse energy, and show results.

Filtering for:
