[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: March 2026

Please add back the amount we have in our inventory on the new Black Market pages, I shouldn't have to go to my overall Black Market section to know the amount I have, especially considering we had this pre change.

Above discussion: not going to happen. Safe Haven is one of Howrse's ways of reducing data in storage by deleting most of the info about those horses. If they can retrieve them for a few days, it's because they have backup copies of the site for a few days (as used for Preprod). After that the data will be gone.

Meanwhile, Howrse's attempts to persuade people to get rid of horses are getting even more disgusting. See the new link on the objective page.

I have to agree with RowanGreen. It's disgusting how you are encouraging players to kill off their horses especially for a horse that doesn't reward nicely unless you're willing to kill off hundreds of horses. I'm also disgusted at this. And I cant think of a better word to describe it.

the yaga sill (or what ever that horse is named), kill off is more than disgusting. at first i went at it, and then realised,

1. i was burning through ap's
2. you can kill off your horse just as fast by over feeding it, than starving it. at least you build up more manure.

3 . this is the most deceptive. your ranking is based on how many horses you own. so by killing off 20 per day you are actually harming your account.

you have to kill off a ton of horses to even just move up the gift giving scale for the tree horse.
not worth the effort or the cost to your account.

caribooster, I too noticed a lot of those things, too.
And it's extremely disgusting.
Sure, they're pixel horses. I'll probably never even remember them, whenever I quit in the future, but I think this is a horrible lesson for those younger players out there. You're basically teaching them that life is expendable, Howrse.

Also, I thought about how this "special offer", like you say in your first point, completely empties your AP stock. What if you don't have enough APs? You have to purchase them, with passes. What if you don't have enough passes? You have to purchase them, with real money.
Is this "special offer" really a benefit to us, or Howrse?
Just a thought. I am NOT saying all of Howrse is evil, or that their leaders are utterly corrupt. But greed can consume anyone.
*shrugs*

Your third point, caribooster, huh... I never thought about it that way. Again, this "special offer" seems less and less special by the minute.

And 5 years? You can get 6x the amount by doing it normally... sending an old, old horse to heaven. Honestly, that's better in the long run. Sure, sending any horse, at any age, is easier, but is this really the best way to go about things?

I said too twice, haha. Excuse any typos in there.

Regarding some of the previous few posts I'd just like to make a few points here:

These are not horses, they are collections of pixels. There are far too many of them and I believe that could be part of the problem with the lag that has proved so difficult to deal with.

Modern children watching YouTube and various video games know a lot more about death than most of us even want to think about. The vast majority of them understand very well the difference between the virtual world and the real one.

You are expected to be polite at all times which means that rants about Howrse and the people who manage it are not allowed.

If you have feedback that is fine. You may take it to Contact Us or post it politely and constructively in the forums. Any further inflammatory or derogatory language will be censored.

I appreciate the Devs reaching out to us and raising the horse covering limit from 100 to 300.
While I'd have preferred a no-limit situation, 300 is still way better than a measly 100.

I personally don't mind the limit, it gives other players a slightly better chance of having their coverings taken, not just the same horse being used constantly.

Stunned at the new coverings limit. How on earth can it be considered "cheating" to offer more than that?

I ask, puzzled, as someone who has often made a ton of equus by having the first 100 blup stallion of a new breed available for coverings on the day the new breed arrives, some of them in the past managing a high three-digit number of covers in a single day. That's hard work that allows a greater number of players to get in on a new breed from day one, and certainly not any sort of "cheating"

Shocked to see that a 100-cover limit had even been considered



Agreed.
