[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 2026

That really surprises me since you are very vocal in the forums and you belong to two teams. The easy way is just to state on your page that you don't accept Friend Requests.

The teams I am on now have a special connection to me, with the trotters being one I am one of the original members on on my last account, while I joined the connemaras to help my friends, but then stayed on. Both teams are quiet, which is one of the main reasons I stay on them, as I ain't required to communicate daily.

Even when I have had it stated on my page that I don't accept them in big letters, I STILL get them, because people either play on mobile and don't see the presentation, or they just don't read it.

Perhaps I should just stop posting in forums as well, despite the fact I like helping people in public settings and getting involved in the community. PMs and friend requests are just not easy for me due to anxiety, but I don't get that same anxiety when I am in the forums, which is why I hang around them.

Oh gosh, I just noticed they updated the pages like the Nyx Pack. Still really not a fan of it.

If you enjoy helping people and being involved you should continue posting.

Back in the day I use to receive many friend requests every day but for the last few years now, rarely do I get a request, the game has slowed down so much with people joining. However, I don't mind requests.

Did Howrse delete the old "Help with profile pages/presentations" topic? I noticed it was becoming more and more inactive, but they shouldn't have deleted it. I hope they make a new one. It's helpful for graphic designers. I feel like the graphics scene on this site is so dead now.

Love most of the team changes. Very useful and helpful. Only 2 issues I see are:

1. Teams must be created at least 10 days before rating day. This should be 30 days.

2. To prevent covering errors, these are now only viewed by the mares with the team affix. NO NO NO some of the best fillers are crossbred so they can see breed only comps but usually aren't capable of having comparable skills as the blup. Paying attention prevents covering errors.

A few questions:
If a horse's genetic potential is higher than that required for sales, you will not be able to remove the affix or sell it to other players unless it's a gelding. What if you leave the team? Are you forced to keep the affix? Are you still not able to sell the horse unless it's gelded?

"In fact, very few players have ever used this feature to sell their horses."

I'd guess that's due to the safe haven being terrible, not because it wasn't in the same place as the other sales...

I really don't like this change. You even placed it as the first option when selling a horse, I can imagine how many horses will be placed in the safe haven that wasn't meant to be put there.

Just noticed a huge issue. The ability to loan to a specific player is removed. This is incredibly unfair. I have the tears privilege and team mates have my permission to loan mares for tear breeding. I'm the only member in my time zone so they do it when I'm sleeping. Am I supposed to stay awake 24 hours in order for team members to take advantage???

Please please please give us back the option to loan to a specific player.

Just bought a horse for an objective and noticed that I have the option to remove the affix. But it's not a team horse.

I don't like it either. I complained on prepod that they should put the Safe Haven option last so players don't make a mistake. I hope everyone is really careful.
