We have a bunch of updates all coming out at once this morning!


The American Miniature Horse BC is now available to unlock, or already available to those of you with a BC subscription. While the breed is height-restricted in real life it is not in the game. You can use it for any size horse you want.

The mini BC is for light and medium-bone horses.

This is a bonus BC that Jenx was kind enough to squeeze in for us before his holiday started.

We have had a system in place for some time where horses change in proportion as they become shorter or taller. This worked well we had the static posed national BCs, and only went to 12 hh. Now that we have a lot more poses, types, etc., that scaling no longer works correctly for a lot of horses. I have scrapped the old scaling and horses now straight scale and just become larger or smaller with no distortion.

We also have had a bug for a bit with positioning on scaled horses causing small horses to float way up and larger horses to sink below frame. This has been fixed.

This should have minimal impact on tack. Tack sticks to the horse and scales with it. If you have manually positioned your horse in the frame it will stay where you put it. Only horses in the default location will move.

Tack tab updates!

We have been WAY overdue for tack editor updates. Thank you everyone for your patience. Our move this year greatly complicated work on the editor but we are now in the position to focus heavily on it again.

We have taken some big steps today. First, the advanced tack editor is now the standard tack editor and will load with the page. We are well aware that not every tack type works on that editor yet. We are putting ourselves in the hot seat to force us to prioritize those updates. In the meantime, if you need the old editor there is a link on the tack tab to access it. We will be rapidly updating this editor as soon as we are back from break.


Firefox users, there is a known bug on some very new versions of Firefox where the horse turns into a triangle grid on this editor. This is a bug in Firefox itself. If you run into this, edit your image as normal (just ignore the triangles) save it, then refresh the image from the horse home tab. Refreshing will fix the horse.

You will also notice the new HorseGeneticsGame.com badge in the lower right. This server-coded badge will replace the old logo and will go on top of everything else. That way the game logo can't accidentally get hidden.

Awards have also been updated. If you have arranged your awards yourself they will not move. If you have awards in the default position your ribbons will now nicely stack at the top of the page and trophies will line up on the bottom of the page.

Our family has been going non-stop this year without any proper breaks. We are going to take the next two weeks off for family time and rest. If there is anything game-breaking we will of course fix it but you can expect to see us backing making regular updates after New Year's.

**I will probably roll out a few things here and there since I wake up very early and get bored but nothing is specially planned. :D
