👀 Find That Horse

We had quite the time trying to find the hidden three horses Curly had chosen. Horse #3 decided to frolic to the clouds a bit early which made this contest last longer than expected! Congrats to those who found each horse: Rani Harvord, Deomino, and TheDustyAngel!

We hope everyone had tons of fun with our 2026 March Madness. Congrats to all our winners. Prizes are being sent out shortly! 

🪙 Fundraiser Reminder: Museum of Chincoteague Island

As a reminder, we have our Chincoteague Pony Coin fundraiser currently running! 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 fundraised $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.

🗳️ Reminder: Round 2 New Breed voting

Round 2 of new breed voting is open here! Vote by April 4 at 6PM est/game time. Voting from side accounts is allowed.

Cheers,

The HoFa Team
