The Great Monster Skills Glitch 2010

Now, we've never seen anything like this before on Howrse. Take a look at the picture of the horse opposite. Notice anything strange? (Click to enlarge the pic).

Is it a new Divine horse? Is it one of Ow's 'experiments'?

No, it's just a normal horse trained on a very abnormal day. For some reason the jump races have today gone completely bonkers!

Right, so we know that when you train your horses they gain skills from entering competitions. And slowly these skills get less and less until they fall to zero and your horse becomes bolded in that skill.

Well today if you enter the jumping races you keep gaining the same amount of skills each time. Forever. So we've got 'Monster' horses running around with 600 skills each in dressage, speed and jumping! And over 2200 overall skills. It's mad!

According to the forums the developers are working on trying to sort the situation out but we don't quite know what's going to happen yet. Afterall this will affect the horse skill boards, the EC prestiges, the sand contest (think how much sand you can earn with a 'Monster'), the competition prestiges, the victory boards - and who knows what else!

We think it's quite amusing.

So keep your eyes peeled and let us know if you spot a 'monster'!

We'll keep you updated with what we know as this develops.
