[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 2026

Argh still no gift option

Please please please add that before the Holidays!!

You can send your friends gifts already. Both parties need to have enough seniority/karma as well as validated e-mail addresses but those are the only requirements as far as I'm aware. There's also a weekly limit reset every Sunday/Monday.

Are you talking about the ability to gift horses? If so I 100% agree! That would be a wonderful improvement to the game.

Also just remember programing a game does not happen over night as there are lots of struggles you need to overcome for something that seems simple as letting players gift horses. So when posting try not to sound as demanding as I am sure that the howrse team not only knows this is something players want but something that they might already be working on. Thanks!

Also what if we had a "Adopt a Newbie" Topic in the forum. The topic could be run by mods or players and it could be very beneficial to newer players. Newer players or old players who have come back and want to re-learn how to play can post in the topic saying they need help. Then older and more experienced players can be assigned to the new players as mentors and can answer any questions through PM. I understand there are plenty of ways to ask for help including the help center but sometimes it is more beneficial to have one person you can ask all your questions to when you are first starting. I know I would have found this extremely helpful when I fist stumbled upon the world of Howrse.

I have more specific details on how this could work but I won't bother who ever is reading this with those right now as this post is already long enough. Hope this is taken under consideration!

I love this idea! I'm a returning player from a few years ago, but so many things had changed since then and there were a few more experienced players who really helped me out! It's definitely something I'd want to do to help new players too

yes think that the newbies would love help to navigate the game especially from us
experienced players, who have been playing a few years

I think that more than the dev's corner, we need to have the ability to comunicate with the admins. If you don't understand me, i tried to send a mail to an admin but there was an advertising that said the adress can't recieve my message.

If you need to send in a ticket to Admin to report a bug, or send feedback, you need to use the Contact Us link at the bottom of each page of the site

Anyone else's messages all get deleted? AGAIN?

Some of my messages disappeared? I don't understand why
