Holsteiner - the new breed of horse

A new breed of horse has appeared today - The Holsteiner. Details are a little thin on the ground right now, but this is a picture of one of the first adults on Howrse. A quick look at the genetics shows that their top three skills, in order, are Jumping , Gallop and Dressage.

At the moment, you can only get a Holsteiner when you win one as part of the bonus puzzle - see below.

UPDATE: They are already appearing in the sales at rather immense prices!

Jigsaw Puzzle: Bonus puzzle

Just when we thought it would be an 'ordinary' contest, things have changed. Howrse have just introduced Horns of Plenty with which you can win missing pieces for your jigsaw puzzle.

It appears that you can (actually NEED to) use HoP's to complete the bonus puzzle. This means that some of the Balios's have already been won.

We're not quite sure how some people have managed to get their third login for puzzle no.4, but they have and have then used HoP's to help complete the bonus puzzle.

According to one player (NOT confirmed by ultimate Howrse), the bonus puzzle has the following objectives:

• Objective Gift
  1. First login of the day 1 x Holsteiner foal
  2. First login of the day 1 x Diamond
  3. Use a Philosopher's Stone 1 x Diamond
  4. Give birth to twins 1 x Diamond
  5. Give birth to a Unicorn 1 x Diamond
  6. Open Horns of Plenty 1 x Diamond
  7. Open Horns of Plenty 5 x Diamonds
  8. Open Horns of Plenty 5 x Diamonds
  9. Be the original breeder of
  a 40 year old, non-immortal horse 5 x Diamonds
  

So, we don't yet know how some players have managed to complete the Jigsaw Puzzle Contest, but they certainly have and those Balios's are disappearing fast!

More news as and when we have it.

UPDATE: Players are reporting that they used over 40 passes to buy HoP's, to complete the bonus puzzle.

UPDATE 2: All of the Balios's have now been won.
