The Ultimate Howrse Summer Giveaway

It's summer and here at Ultimate Howrse we're enjoying the sunshine. And when it's sunny, Patsy and LucyLou like nothing more than to share our good mood with you - our wonderful readers.

So we have devised a brilliantly simple contest for you to enter. And when we say simple - we mean simple. You don't need to know anything to enter and anyone who plays on International Howrse can play. All you have to do is post a comment below that includes your Howrse player name. How easy is that?

OK, so what do you win? Well we are offering three fantastic prizes. The winners will be chosen at random so everyone has a fair chance. You can win:

First Prize: A Helios' Ray

Second Prize: A Ploutos' Parchment

Third Prize: A Squirrel

Good luck everyone!

Patsy & LucyLou

UPDATE: Once the contest closes at 8pm game time on Friday 15 July 2011, we will choose the winners by drawing the names from a hat. We will then contact the winners by private message, on Howrse. After this we will publish the list of winners on Ultimate Howrse as soon as we've contacted everyone.

UPDATE 2: The contest has now closed and we are notifying the three winners. We will publish the names of the winners soon. Please note, several players entered the competition after the deadline, so they could not be included in the draw.

Sapphire- the new Divine horse

This is Sapphire - the latest Divine horse to come to Howrse and he arrives by way of the current 'Fruit Salad' contest. Like the Ruby Divine, Sapphire gives you diamonds which can be traded to give him more skills or to buy items in the Black Market. 10 diamonds equals 1 pass and Sapphire gives you a diamond on even days and 1000 equus on odd days. So if you look after him every day, you will have enough diamonds to trade for 1 pass, every 20 days!

Howrse also says this about Sapphire: Sapphire is a precious horse. Each time he wakes up, he asks you to come and join him on another player's page. If you follow his instructions, Sapphire gives you a diamond on even days and 1000 equus on odd days.

Each Sapphire comes with a Philospher's Stone and a Water of Youth. Like most Divines they are male and cannot breed and currently they cannot be sold either. This may well change so we'll let you know if and when you can get Sapphires in HoP's or in the sales. They also have 1200 skills split evenly amongst speed, jumping, gallop etc.

Now the only way to get one of these lovely horses right now, is by cooking up a potion using the following ingredients:

15 x Horseshoes
5 x Pegasus Feathers
15 x Ingredients of your choice

But even that isn't quite enough. You need to have made 30 potions throughout the course of the contest too.

So get those potions brewed and maybe you too can soon be the proud owner of a magical, diamond-giving Sapphire!

Good luck,

Patsy


UPDATE: We understand that the issue with Sapphire's not working properly has now been fixed.
