[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: March 2026

I was so happy that there was going to be a update.. but they didn’t do anything about the speed. To slow to play.. please fix this! It has been slow for weeks, I can only play at night with this speed

The lag started directly when they introduced the reindeer comp... the one nobody really bothers with cos it is rigged...
(See my earlier note above - Whoever scores the extra wins at the start is basically the winner...)

If we were to boycott the reindeer game, do ya think they might eventually pull it, and we get our game back???

Not to mention the amount of work you need to put in, only to get lousy 20 passes (if you get them)

That is good in

That is good info. i raised a ticket about the lag issue and got the following reply:

I am going to add to my ticket that it seems to have started when they started the reindeer comps. That may help them narrow the issue.

Check out the latest game updates! Take a look at the full list of updates in the Devs’ Corner for more information! Best wishes, The Howrse Team

Too true about the lag sadly (and it is on all my Howrse games so all servers although it varies at times from server to server!) Not only is is too slow to play, but I get a white screen between actions so frequently it almost seems normal now!
Strangely it always happens with the water!
It takes so long to look after and work just one howrse, that there is little point trying to be competitive, (hence Howrse - no point buying passes!!)

Has anyone noticed a change to the way predicted vs actual energy usage works?

I enter some competitions with a horse, then do an amount of training based on the predicted energy usage however when I hit OK to accept the training the actual usage is much much higher than predicted and I'm left with a very sick horse.

Seems to be that when I hit OK on the training the game is amending morale for comp results coming in and then changing the energy usage without giving me a chance to take it into account.

I've never noticed this happening to me before and it's happened on 4 out of the last 5 horses I've worked nearly killing them off. I'm sure if any results were pending it used to deduct the predicted energy then amend then morale afterwards.

Anyone got any thoughts? Or am I completely misremembering, it's entirely possible!

I'm really not too impressed with the new BMI pages. I know it's only a small thing, but it seems to be less detailed than the previous pages (it might be my imagination though). I don't know how to describe it but the aesthetics are just not for me. What was wrong with the old pages?

The aesthetics are probably a question of taste/getting used to (though I've preferred the old ones, too). What I definitely don't like is that before the changes, we had been shown the amount of available items, like e.g. "1 HR (12 available)" when chosing from own stock. Now there's just the one you want to use or the prize if you purchase.

Honestly, who remembers all items in stock or likes to go and look at the list every time before picking a BMI?!

Exactly I am avoiding to play this game lately as it takes too much time. Just do my daily horses and even that takes ages. Hope that they will fix it soon as I actually wasted about a month of VIP. Hoping for some compensation as I paid for it and cannot play it properly. It is just sad.
