Special Horse Creation Events

Throughout the HaJ year, you may open up your create a horse page to find a special create event going on! These are site-wide events, open to all players. During these events, all horses may be guaranteed to have a certain gene or for some events the chances of creating otherwise rare horses are increased. Most of these are scheduled events, but every once in a while, one may be activated as a surprise with little or no notice. Below is a rundown of each creation event and when to look for it.

(Note: I don't remember the actual names for all of the events. We'll have to find those.)

The Big Splash

This is a summer celebration event that takes place in June where creates can randomly come out as Sea Ponies! Sea Ponies have fins and a tail and appear on a seascape backdrop. They are worth one GMT each and can be turned in just like Candy Ponies, which will end the sea curse and turn them back into regular, four-legged horses. There are 15 tail colors, 5 different tails for each bone weight. Why not collect them all? Note: foals created during this event can come out sea ponies but won't show a tail, only the seascape backdrop until they turn two years old.

Candy Horse Event (Candy Time)

Candy horses can also be created randomly year-round, but they are rare.

How it Works

Submitting Your Feedback

What is the Gift Exchange?

• • The gift exchange started out as a "Secret Santa" game and was run by players for many, many years. The game was automated for the Winter Holidays in 2020.
  • The Gift Exchange runs twice a year; in December for the Winter Holidays, and in June for the Summer Celebration and the anniversary of the game.
  • The Gift Exchange will open on December 1st for the Winter Holidays, and on June 1st for the Summer Celebrations. To enter once the Exchange opens, go to the orange Gift Exchange link on the left side menu and follow the instructions listed.
    • Your name and wish list will be sent to another player on the same server, and in the same level as your entry.
    • Everyone starts out at level 1. Once you have shown that you are willing to contribute to the spirit and fun of the game, and demonstrate an honest effort to participate, you will be assigned to the next level for the next event (Winter Holiday, or Summer Celebration)
      • There are 3 levels, mostly based on how much game money you are able to spend/use on the gifts you send. There are also limits about spending real money.
    • You will be STRONGLY urged to complete the Feedback form so that we can tell if there are any problems that need to be addressed. Not completing the form may jeopardize your move to the next level.
