Showing
I just want to let you all know that I will be working on showing to bring you a better system. I've been looking into shows and how they run (while investigating a bug) and shows are still running very slowly (between 1-3 hours) and if they are overloaded then they will just not finish running properly.

I'd like to implement a system where:
* A Deluxe member can create a show which runs in 24 hours (approximately, to the quarter-hour. e.g. if you create a show at 9:13am it will run at 9:15am the next day).
* Members can enter the show at any point after creation.
* If the show reaches maximum entries the 24 hour point, the show will run within the hour.
* As shows would now be available as soon as they're created, I would want to reduce the amount of maximum entries in a show - perhaps down to about 10-15 so that they run more frequently and are more dynamic/interesting.
* Deluxe members will be able to create a maximum of 200(+/-) shows at a time (not per day, so if some run sooner, they can create more right away).
* Player experience gains will be given when entering shows rather than when they run, and will no longer be based on where the horse places in the show in order to help with the lag of shows running.

This may mess with the lovely "You earned $X in shows yesterday" and point gains for horses, as some may run sooner than others, but this should hopefully be a better system overall. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to post them below.

Secret Feature
I have a bit of an update with regards to the game. A little while ago I promised you a surprise. I managed to find a brilliant artist for the job, and we got started on the project. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances the artist has had to withdraw and, alongside my recent wedding, it got put to the side. I am still keeping this surprise under wraps as I don't want to spoil it, but I just wanted to give this update to let you know that I have looking for a new artist to undertake this project for us, and that I'm not backing out of the surprise. Just in case anyone was wondering. That is all :)

New Features
* You can now use the horse search to search for Minimum Average Conformation. The search results will pull any horse higher than the number that you put into the box.
* Searching for training centers will now show 25 random Training Centers rather than the top 100 Training Centers ordered by alphabet - so every Training Center should have a fair chance in the search!
* Horses that have been revived with Spectral Drought are now given 50% happiness and 50% hunger so that they don't die again after using the item if you forget to care for the horse just after use.

Bug Fixes
* Leg markings passing from parents to foals should now be fixed. Hooray!
* "Your Shows" link should now appear on the Auto-Showing page.
* Broken image files on the following breeds have been fixed: TWH, Paint Horse
* You should now be able to edit your forum posts without error if you have an apostrophe in your name.
* Clydesdales should no longer incorrectly be given Sbsb as their KIT gene. All Clydesdales affected by this have been fixed to show Sb+ and their markings should now show up too.
* I have enabled friend requests for Basic members, who either just had the feature bugged, or had disabled it and then had their Deluxe account run out.
* There should no longer be an error when updating a member group that doesn't have a badge.
* Searching for horses for sale between two prices should now work correctly and not just show all horses for sale at any price.


I work on Equiverse periodically, so you may notice features and bugfixes going in before I manage to post the news, so if you've noticed new things and there is no news post - that's why!

Hope everyone is well :)

Thank you! :)


I know a young lady 9 years old that doesn't have a pc but has a phone and would love to play this game with me. When she comes to visit with her grandmother she has to come see me (auntie) and look at all my new additions to my herds. Would being able to play on a cell be available at some point?? It would make her very happy

If the change on the clydesdales went from Sbsb to Sb+ shouldn't the markings be changed to sabino? I'm still learning how the whole genetics work.

The new Showing sounds fantastic! I loved showing my horses but have held off recently due to the Cron bug. I'm so excited to show my beauties again! The other updates will make the game even better! Thank you so much, Abbey!

And the improvements you suggested for showing sound really good - I'm excited for both that and the suprise! :)

I'm not that great with genetics. (I know Vos made an incredible post about them, but I still don't always understand them.) I have a couple Sabino Clydes so what I'm wondering is if this new Sb+ change with make Sabino more common in Clydes. Right now it's still on the rare side. I'd like to find more so if this change will make them more common I'd like to know. Thanks!
