📝Short Story Contest
We had two categories for our short story contest, novice and advanced. Judging was based on creativity, adherence to the theme, and grammar. Congrats to our winners per category.

🐎 Foal Frenzy
We tasked you with breeding a foal with the most genes with bonus points for higher PS. Our winner is Sunstone Virtue bred by Oaken Fields!
👀 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
