[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 2026

I don't like this option to remove an affix from a purchased horse. Will this mean those horses no longer appear in the breeders affix page?

I also agree that the option to sell to the safe haven being top in the sales tab is also a terrible idea and will lead to mistakes being made.

"Very few players have ever used the safe haven" maybe because it sucks?? Who wants to just give their horse away for way, way less money than you'd get selling it normally, and then have it just wither away uselessly? If you sell to another player they might turn that horse into a champion. If you give to the safe haven you're just throwing it away. There's zero reason to ever "sell" to the safe haven.

I've tried it out and it looks to me like the affix is not actually removed, even when you try to click the "..." and save, the horse still has the original affix. So hopefully the coding just got funky and puts the drop down box for every horse, no matter if you bred it or not, but affixes for purchased horses still work the same way?

I also tried this, like lauralololili did, and it did not remove the affix from the horse. The drop down is likely just a coding error, but at least the affix doesn't seem to be able to be removed.

I don't think the auto affix is working? Just birthed a top team horse and the foal page was exactly the same, still offered the drop down, and birthed without the affix. It's one feature I was looking forward to so hope that gets fixed

This month welcomes some updates for the Safe Haven and the teams!

Check out all our changes on the new Devs’ Corner!

Don't hesitate to discuss or give your feedback on these features in this thread!

Best Regards,
The Howrse Team

Also, I love the team cover update and definitely think team horse covers should only be shown for only the team horses. It makes sense and I'm glad I won't have to use search settings anymore to get around that.

What would be nice is finally adding a personal covers tab that we can send any of our own horses covers to rather than one by one reserving it to a mare by name

The safe haven change is going to lead to an awful lot of mistakes and support tickets.

If you want people to make more use of it and free up database space, just increase the amount paid by the safe haven. I can assure you it wasn't that hard to find, and the people who couldn't find it are exactly the ones who will make the mistake of selecting safe haven by accident when trying to sell.

I assume due to this other fix: When a foal is born from parents who already have a team affix, it will automatically receive the team affix if its genetic potential is higher than that required for sale. It's up to the team admin to choose the GP required.
