Howrse Basics: Mashes

Mashes are available in the store for you to buy to give to your horse in addition to his normal food. There are 3 kinds available and each gives your horse something different.

* An energy mash gives your horse 5% energy. It costs 50e.
* A caloric mash boosts your horse's morale by 10%. It costs 40e.
* A health mash increases your horses health by 10%

Health mashes can only be given to your horse if he is boarded in a stable that provides them. So, make sure you check carefully when boarding your horse that the EC has health mashes.

Note: you can only give your horse a mash every 6 months. Furthermore, mashes may only be given to horses after they have reached the age of two and health mashes can only be given to horses that are under 25 years old.

The Pegasus Account add-on feature is coming to International Howrse, we believe, on February 1st. So what is it? Well here's Howrse's description:

The Pegasus Account Add On
* Customised Personal Presentation Page
* Improved "My horses" Page
* The Piece of Cloud Pack
* The Item Exchange
- The Removal of The Diamond Apple
- The Removal of the Olympiad displays
- Correction on the treats for horses found on the game.
- Corrections on the co-management feature
* No more access possible to the Black Pearl for a co-manager
* No more access to the negotiation forum for a co-manager
- The cards can now be accessed via your "My account" page
- Account Security Systems.

Having tried the 'Customised Personal Presentation Page', there seem to be a few teething problems but hopefully these will be ironed out soon.

More details as we get them.
