[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: August 2025

Just noticed that on my app on my cellphone the background is the same as always. But on my tablet which I play the classic version it has changed.

The logo is on the app but not on the pc version.

If you are not seeing the logo or the background you need to clear your device or browser cache. Alternatively on the app you could delete and reinstall it.

Its the usual thing. Howrse stores a lot of info to allow it to load the game and some of it stops changes happening. Clean up is always recommended after any major changes and as part of regular housekeeping.

If you zoom out (I had to zoom out on my laptop to 67%), you'll see the balloon and other "upside down" horseshoes at the very far sides of the background.

How amusing. Because research shows that whether or not "upside down" horse shoes are bad luck or good luck depends on your culture and its beliefs. Neither positioning of horse shoe is actually correct or incorrect -- it's based only on your own superstition.

Goodness knows I have no reason to, and take no joy in, defending the game... but this time, that's how it goes, because they didn't mess up at all.

Can't say I'm a fan of the new background, feels like a stable would have been a more fitting choice. Or any more horsey feeling environment really.

I'm glad you find it amusing. Most of us know superstition is just that. However, this being a horse game and loosely based on horse facts, why not embrace those fun tidbits many of us grew up with. I understand if you never owned horses therefore obviously it has no meaning for you.

Owning horses has nothing to do with superstition or wearing a tin foil cap. you also should consider that horses and owning them is spread around whole world and most of the time customs and culture rooted within it will be different. I understand if you are american though. Must be fun to think whole word is USA.

I agree completely..and…pink..really..

I will be using up my Helios Rays just to not see that..oh wait..maybe that was the point!

The background makes more sense if it is temporary for the anniversary. But if it's staying, it doesn't make much sense at all.
The pink stone really throws the whole thing off for me, then the random structures to the left is a bit out of place. I noticed the new background immediately as it just doesn't look quite right. If the background is staying, I I'm sorry to the creators...
If it's temporary, then it makes more sense for the anniversary.

Thanks Becky Barnes I can't zoom out on my tablet but the looks of things I am not missing out not able to see the whole picture.

I am finally seeing the new logo and the loading icon.

I do like the logo 20 with the horse head in it. Is that the part where if you are a vip it's gold and if you are a Pegasus it's silver?
