The FAQ- Please read before sending me a question!
What does ____ stand for/mean?
Please go here, to the Howrse Dictionary. Read through it and if you don't see the word you need, contact me and I'll answer you and add the word to my dictionary.
What is a Pass Horse?
A pass horse is a horse over 20 years old, the owner doesn't ever do anything with the horse, until they need a pass- then they age the horse to over 30 so it will die and they can send it to heaven (NOT the haven!!!) and they get a free pass for having "cared" for the horse so well that it lived that long. Pass horses with MAs are really valuable, you can sell them for thousands of Equus, and any mortal horse 20 or over will bring a good profit in the auctions as well.
What's a Divine?
Please go here to the Divine & Specials page, and read it through before you ask me any questions.
What's a Special?
A Special is what we used to call certain horses, like Archimedes, Harlequin, and the Fallabellas. As of November 2014 they are all Divines; the page here one TBH remains the same because if I change it, the link will change and people who have it bookmarked in their favorites won't be able to find it.

This too is answered on the Divines & Specials page.

How do I improve my ranking? (For info on EC Rankings, see the EC FAQ *Coming Soon*)
Popularity ranking:
Basically, go to chrissyh's page, or almere's page, congratulate them, and follow the chain for a couple of hours, every day. Many players will congratulate you back, which means page visits, which means higher popularity ranking. Try to congratulate players who have been congratulated in the last 10 minutes (surprisingly easy if you start from a famous player's page) and people will start following the chain to you in no time.
Trophies:
Self-Explanatory. Earn the most trophies. (Click Here for the trophies page.)
Seniority:
Just play for a long time and keep logging in any day you can, even if you just log in and then log out, you get another day.
Reserve:
Do everything you can to get Equus (see here) and save it up.
Number of Horses:
Buy cheap horses all the time. Spend whole days buying them, then don't do anything with them. If you get enough you might make it, but you don't need to care for them.
Number Of Horses Cared for Yesterday:
The same as the one above only care for them daily.
Number of Competitions Won Yesterday:
Get a ton of REALLY good horses and enter them ALL in as many comps as possible daily. Players who do this put MAs on all their race horses and age them many times every day to get more comps in. (Read: Buy lots of passes)
General ranking:
Do ALL of this. Every day. Sound time consuming? It is, which is why I don't do it. ;-)
What are Mods?
People who moderate the forums, pages, other players. Their names are in green at the top of the different public game forums.
What is a Foundation Horse/Foundie?
A horse born from Ouranos & Gaia. NIB (Non Inbred) breeders use these frequently. They have skills and GPs below 500.
What does a Horn Of Plenty Do?
It gives you a random BMI, Equus, or a Divine or Special if Howrse announces it. It can also give you a ticket that allows you to enter your horses in the Grand Prix.
How do I use my Apollo's Lyre?
Hover your mouse over the horse's picture till the "name" button with the picture of Lyre shows up and click it.
When I try to use my Unlimited Helios' Ray, it wants me to buy one or use a regular one from my inventory. Help!
Make sure you clicked on the "landscape" button that appears when you hover your mouse over the horse's picture. Don't click on the actual BMI under "items".
How do I get pass seeds?
They only come to the EC store once in a blue moon, and they cost a lot of money and must be grown with the best, most expensive fertilizer on the biggest most expensive meadows. In other words, they are a lot of trouble to grow- be prepared to spend with them.
What can I do at what level of Seniority?
Here are all the things you can do:
Auctions at 10 days
Exchanges + email address at 10 days
Direct & Reserved sales at 30 days
Reserve an Affix every 30 days
Every 50 days you can make a breeding farm (limit 5)

Where is my Black Market Item History?
Profile > My Account > My Item History.
How many fields can I grow in my EC at a time?
5. Yes, the greenhouse does count as a crop, and yes, you can grow in it in all seasons. If you raise Cattle, they don't count as a crop, so technically you CAN have six crops as long as one of them is cattle. Cattle are raised for the leather, not for Western comps.
If I use a Golden Apple on a horse with a Fifth Element [or vice versa] will the GA/5E show up next and still have the bonuses, only have the bonuses, or will I lose the bonuses?
You will keep all bonuses. But if the GA is the last one applied you'll see that one, and if the 5E is the last one applied you'll see that one. BUT if you make your horse a Pegasus when it already has a non Pegasus GA you will get the bonuses but you won't see the wings.
How long will take my fallow crops at my EC to regain fertility?
That depends on the season.
Per update:
spring and fall - 1%
summer - 3%
winter - 0.2%
It depends on how fertile your meadow is to begin with. I would have to experiment with the meadows, but I know that a less fertile meadow does not get fertility over 50%.
Why is my horse not fully BLUPed/How can I BLUP him?
Please see the BLUP Page.
How can I get diamonds?
As of December 2013 diamonds may only be gotten from Gemstone Divines if you own one. Every other option was removed.
What can I use diamonds for?
To buy bonuses
As passes- 10 diamonds = 1 pass
To credit your reserve
To boost some Divine's skills
How come some horses have (example) a dressage skill at 900 when their dressage GP is only 500? Shouldn't it be bolded at around 700?
The final GP in any area is Genetic Potential + IBS + Lesson gains. Listed GP is not always perfect and some BMIs and bonuses will raise the skill regardless of the skill's GP.
How do I earn Equus?
Please see the Equus Page.
How do I get passes?
Please see the Passes Page.
