The Cowbra

You'll know about Arabians, Irish Hunters, Donkeys, Xanthos and maybe even the fantastical, 8-legged Sleipnirs. But did you know that another Divine horse exists on Howrse? There is only one. It is completely unique. It's called 'Cowbra' and you can see it in the picture.

So what is it? Where did it come from and will there be any more?

Simply, it was a gift from Howrse to one lucky player - Michiba. During Christmas 2008/9, Howrse sold card packs to players. In just one of these packs (a Freyia pack) was a code which gave the recipient a very, very special horse - Cowbra.

Cowbra can never breed and, more importantly, it can never be sold. Even if the owner wanted to do so - Cowbra will be with her for ever.

When he arrived, he was 673 years old with 2000 skills! He can actually be trained (just with rides) and has now reached an incredible 2031.61 skills!

So there it is. Cowbra - unique, fasciniating and truly Divine.

  15. Love this website!

  16. Why doesn't Howrse let each player create their own divine horse? You could only go up to 3000 skills, though. You could customize the name, coat, gender, pose, special thing ( Like Xantho's strokes), ANYTHING!!! It would have to be free.... and it could breed with another specially created divine, and the foal would be a mixture of the parents! No 2 would be exactly alike!!!

  23. Who is the one and only horse that beat Cowbra in a competition?!?!?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oooh I'm not sure! It was in a trotting race and it's the only 2nd he ever had.

    I guess he's not raced anymore though because Oceans and even some normal horses have now got high enough skills to beat him.

  25. I really want a divine! I wish we could make our own! That way it would be the only one of it's kind and we would maybe feel more special! The rankings for popularity would also go up becuase everyone would like to see your new divine!!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Michiba owns Cowbra and she hasnt been on in forever

    ReplyDelete
  27. Cheese If I was Michiba I would Be on howrse EVERY Day!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Can't you get it from cards... you know the ones, but if you don't:
    Go on profile, my account, and then on the my cards button. If you look at the Cowbra set, the rarest card gets you a... Cowbra. I'm not sure if you can, get one, I have not tried it, but from a glance it looks like you can.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I want a Cowbra so bad! It's hard for us lesser players to get divines! All the players will tonsof passes, equess, and real money get the divines!

  31. Can you even get horses like that now? I always thought they had stopped the cards or something because the codes online never worked.

  36. I wish I could have a Cowbra. They seam really cool. But what would happen to the Cowbra if its owner desided to leave?

    ReplyDelete
  37. i think that idea is realy cool add me im iheartponys. you should send that to ow.

    ReplyDelete
  38. i think that the Cowbra is also cool and i would love to have one also im BlueWolf101

    ReplyDelete
  39. I bought some of those card packs. Cost me a lot but I ended up getting 2 HoP's a month for life.

    I was really hoping for that Cowbra but I'm happy with my spoils anyway. :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm so jealous! It is a one and only kind, Michiba is so lucky to have it!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I think it is a good thing you cant breed divines. If you could, they wouldn't be divine anymore. So many people want divines....and howrse is just handing them out now. Tsk tsk tsk....

    ReplyDelete
  42. I wish I had one, pm me on the international version I am CarolineTheHedgeWolf

    ReplyDelete
  43. Can't someone just make a special coat? Then everyone could have a lookalike.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think it's good that you can't breed most special/divine horses. That would make them less rare, therefor, less popular. Most people want a rare/divine horse because they're hard to get. That's like wanting Unicorns to be as easy to breed as regular horses.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I don't think anyone must get the Cowbra, than it isn't special anymore ;)
    I was only wondering....
    Why does it says Cowbra's birthday is 1678??

    Add me on the international Howrse!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Is Michiba on the international howrse because I tried to find her and it said she is unsuscribed!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Michiba was on the international, but she deleted her game recently.

    There's another Cowbra so on the German version of the Game.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Michiba is gone! And Cowbra is gone! He is GONE!!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!! Please introduce another one, Howrse!

    ReplyDelete
  49. well cowbra has now died as the player didnt log in and their account got deactivated :(

    ReplyDelete
  50. Anyone who thinks that you should make your own divine horse really doesn't understand that by do that you lessen the value of the original divine horses. All the top players spent a lot of time and money to get where they are at and it really irks them to hear you younger and newer players complaining that you don't have the money or you didn't get what you wanted. Stop your whining and play the correct way. Rank up through hard work not begging. If you don't want to play fair then get off the game!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Cowbra isnt on howrse anymore because Michiba quit!:(

    ReplyDelete
  52. Unfortunaly Cowbra isn't on howrse because he quit

    ReplyDelete
  53. Divines are supposed to be rare! your not supposed earn them with the snap of a finger,your supposed to strive for them!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Cowbra isnt on howrse anymore because Michiba left howrse so the horse got deleted
    If i had Cowbra I would go on every single day until i die

    add me as a friend on howrse

  56. I can't believe they deleted their game... Now there is only 1 Cowbra on the WHOLE game!!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. If you could breed with them then there would be loads, and they wouldn't be rare anymore! What's the point of having special divine horses if everyone can get them? They're SUPPOSED to be difficult to gain, and are usually a sign of hard work (Or hefty pass bills)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Stop complaining "Oh there is not enough divines" wha wha wha! work up your game and *earn* some divines

    ReplyDelete
  59. It's so sad how Michiba quit! I would always go on Howrse for the ONE and ONLY Cowbra in the game!

    ReplyDelete
  60. The German Cowbra is also gone. the guy quit his game.... :/

    ReplyDelete
  61. 2000 skills? That's not even very high anymore. There are skillers out with almost 3400 skills now. Maybe it's better that Cowbra got deleted before he could be steamrollered by the new skillers. :'(

    ReplyDelete
  62. When Cowbra got released the GP race hadn't got anywhere near as far as it has now. On the UK server the best GP is 1400 something I think. So that is why the skills were amazing, nothing was anywhere near as good as it.

    It's a shame they deleted their game, they got a lot of bad things from owning Cowbra, though. hate mail and things.

    ReplyDelete
  63. They got hate mail?!
    I think that was very unfair and rude. Michiba got lucky and won one of the rarest divines ever. It's just like being chrissyh being first and getting bullied for being dedicated to the game and spending passes, therefore earning Howrse profit. I'm a newbie (at least in days of seniority), but I know that getting divines take lots of effort. I'm ashamed of others (those who don't understand hard work) thinking that divines should be given to everyone, regardless of what they contributed to the site. If you want a divine, you should be patient and try your best at the promos that Howrse makes. I have seen players who have received a Divine WITHOUT buying passes at all. The point- hard work pays off.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Cowbra doesn't exsist anymore because the owner left howrse :(. Also I am Allegiant Tris on international and i am giving away 100,000e in my forum. Plz friend me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  65. I feel bad for the owners that quit howrse. They had hate mail and all sorts of bad stuffs to deal with. It would be cool to own Cowbra but there are bad things about owning him.

    This is Allegiant Tris again :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Allegiant Tris said.

    I used to hope that i would get a divine and it would be a free gift. Now I have a wild horse which i had to EARN!!!!!! The only way to get cool horses is to earn them. you can't just wait around for a divine to walk up to you.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I soooo want Cowbra.

    ReplyDelete
  68. The person deleted their account ..... And btw there are howrses with 3500 skills now

    ReplyDelete
  69. The thing was that there was ONLY one cowbra. It was something special. To those people at the top, breeding it didn't even matter. At that time 2000 skills was A LOT and besides, its not like when Howrse gives out divines and there's like a million Sleipnirs running around. I would have loved to be the player who got the Cowbra.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I can't find Cowbra... On which server is he? I also can't find Michiba (she has been logged in for 10 days :S). I'm on the internatial

    ReplyDelete
  71. Perhaps the account was deleted, there is a player on international called Michiba, but they only have 22 days seniority.
