HellOw Everyone,

As you all know when it comes to technology, bugs do occur. In order to help make the team aware of any issues, you may need to file a support request from time to time.
You can file a support request by clicking the Contact Us link found at the bottom of every page.

Here is how to Contact Us while playing on the Howrse app:
Click to display
Tap the person silhouette in the top right corner, then choose "Contact Us".



The following are some guidelines that will help streamline your support experience:

When creating your ticket, please be sure to include a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing.
Simply putting something like “My horse is broken, fix it.” is not going to help our technical team determine the issue at hand.

Instead, try something like:
“I used a Golden Apple on my horse Rowan today. Instead of taking one GA from my inventory, it took two”.
Then provide a link to your horse’s public page. This provides the team with enough information to begin checking on the issue.

Here is how you can get your horses public link:
Click to display
You can get your horse's link by clicking on the chain link icon while hovering over your horse.



If you are playing on the Howrse app, you’ll need to switch to the Classic Version, go to your horse, then click the chain link icon.


When you use the Contact Us option, your username and server should automatically be sent with your request. If you are unable to contact us from the Contact Us option, it is extremely important that you make sure to include your in-game username and select the correct server that you play on.

If you cannot sign into your account while creating your request, follow these steps to find the server that you play on:
Click to display
Providing the server you play on allows the team to locate your account quickly and get started on any bug testing that needs to occur.

There are 5 English servers:
- International server (Globe icon - howrse.com)
- United States server (USA flag - us.howrse.com)
- Canada server (Canada flag - ca.howrse.com)
- United Kingdom server (UK flag - howrse.co.uk)
- Australia server (AU flag - au.howrse.com)

Classic Version:
At the top of the page on the profile silhouette button, the Globe or country flag will be displayed.

Mobile Version:
You’ll only be able to find which server you are on when logged out of your account. On the login screen, you will see the Globe or country flag in the top right hand corner.


Categories:
Selecting the correct category for your request can also help us to assist you better.
For example, if you are unable to log into the game due to a forgotten password issue, you would choose that category for your ticket. You will then be prompted to provide some account information before the team can issue you a temporary password.

Tips:
Please keep in mind that for privacy reasons, we cannot share information about another player’s account, even if they are a family member. However, each player can contact us directly using our Support Wizard for help with their own account, even if they are unable to connect to the game.


Before contacting support, please make sure that you have cleared your browser cache and cookies. Also, please make sure that your browser is running the most up to date version.

Here is how you can clear your browser cache, cookies, and check if your browser is up-to-date:

Please do not file multiple tickets for the same issue. Keep your replies confined to one ticket so that it is easier for the support team to track your responses.
Also, please try to remember that certain issues may require extensive testing, so patience is always key when dealing with a technical issue. The team wants to get you back to enjoying your game as soon as possible and we work very hard to help everyone as quickly as we can.

Have fun and happy Howrsing!

Kind Regards,
The Howrse Team

    I experienced a glitch that prevented me from exceeding 1199 horseshoes in the event that prevented me from winning the two chocolate horses (that I spent $$ on to have enough passes for the key) and the response I received concerning the issue was:
    'We are past the event, there is nothing we can do'
    Seriously?


    Same here. I finally had the Diamond card with which I'd get Frohe Weihnachten at the very end of the Christmas Cards event. I click to exchange it and I see the clock on my laptop go to 16:00h. End of event and GONE is my Frohe.
    I paid over 10,000 passes to finally get that card!!

    And there is nothing they can do, they say. I should not play until the exact end of an event (in other words: this is my own fault) and if they gave me the divine I would get an advantage towards other players.
    Well.... it is in their own interest that people keep spending (lots of) passes until the end of the event. And advantage? No, because I already paid for that horse and I paid BIG TIME.

    Indeed we are customers. And a customer pays for something they expect to get it.
    I would understand if I had tried to exchange the card 5 minutes later. But that was not the case.

    I've tried and tried, but the answer is still no. And I'm still really angry and frustrated about it.

    I just wanted to send some random praise at the creators of this game. I played this game many years ago and quit, I've recently come back and I think this game has developed in a very satisfying way. I'm enjoying it way more this time around. default smiley (y)

    Genuine question, don't know if this is the correct place, but why haven't Howrse reinstated a suggestions forum. I understand it was shut down years ago due to abuse, but is there a reason a new one hasn't been created? The events now all have suggestion/feedback forums after they end, so there seems to be a way for this to work already. There are so many questions on the help section asking for a suggestions forum asking for one, so there is certainly demand for it. Also many other platforms seem to be able to hold a suggestions forum without overwhelming abuse inside it from online games like Chicken Smoothie to online stores like Steam. I feel like flooding the contact us is not helpful, especially when players seem to be suggesting the people who use it may not be knowledgeable in the game. There isn't actually a specific "suggestions" category in the contact us form, and it seems like even sending the automated response that the suggestion is being looked at may take time. Additionally, a forum would seem like an easier way to see which suggestions are supported by other players and which are not, even if you disallowed comments and just let people upvote or downvote them.

    Edit to above; My apologies there is a feedback option, it's just under the game button in the contact us form.
