Update Mar 31st - A Horseshoe for you!

Hello Big Farmers

Take a look outside your window, what do you see? That's right, spring is here and as all the flowers are coming back out to deck the world in colors, we are giving the horse area a fresh coat of paint in this update.

Horse Ranch

From now on, your horses will lead a whole new life of glory. We are introducing the brand new Horse Ranch and make it possible for you to really go all out on your four-legged friends. You can look forward to a bunch of new features and opportunities to make your horses shine.

Here is a short summary of what is awaiting you:

• Existing horse values like Level, Attributes and Breeding Effects will get new meanings, which will have an impact on the Challenge in the Horse Tournament. For example, the horses with the higher level are likely to get a head-start in the race comparing to the lower level horses. If your horse has a higher level, you have a better chance to win against your competitors!
• New production cycles will be introduced. Now, you can produce new items that you can equip your horse with for the Tournament Challenge. On the Horse Ranch, there will be different kinds of trees that grow ingredients such as Leather mushroom, Leather cork, Kapok fruit and more. These can then be used in Saddler's workshop to create items like saddles, riding boots, caps and so on.
• There will be more horses for you to raise as we are expanding the Horse Shop
• We've saved the best for last: The Horse Tournament is getting a fresh coat of paint! You will be able to send your trained horses into exciting races against other players and be able to earn great rewards.
• When your horses are not riding with you actively, you can also set an inactive horse that will race other players for you which also grants you rewards.

All in all, there is a lot to discover and to gain from the new and improved Horse Ranch.

Here are some images & of what you can expect to see in the new horse event.
