I retyped all the objectives pages so they are up-to-date after Howrse changed some of them.
The reward for 43 is missing. If you are currently on these objectives, please let me know what the reward is!
I updated the objectives based on the comments from other Howrse users. I feel like a few may still be incorrect. If you see any that are, please let me know!

These promotions are back again! The chocolate egg fight is the same as previous promotions, such as the water balloon fight, but with a twist of using chocolate. You can participate by catching UFOs and sending the gift to another player. Prizes will be awarded to the best egg throwers at the end of the contest on April 16th:
- The 10 best Egg throwers win a Nyx Pack
- The 40 next best Egg throwers win 100 000 Equus.
- The 50 next best Egg throwers win the Themis’ Scales
- The 29000 next best Egg throwers win an Eolus’ wind
I’m glad to see that more prizes are added for the end of the contest.
Many of you have been asking if the Wandering Horses would return and in fact they did! This time they are modeled off of the Greek horses. Each horse has a different task to complete. Once you reach 100 points for that horse, it will join your account for five days as well as bring you a prize that’s listed.
Keep in mind some need to be done everyday in order to complete the promotion or a part of it; try to keep up and do enough per day! Also, if you don’t think you’ll be able to finish some of these, such as Helios, don’t start it. You don’t want to waste time/equus.
Aphrodite: log in daily (9 points per day)
Reward: Achilles’ Heel
Apollo: Give carrots to your horses (2 points per carrot)
Reward: 20 aging points
Tip: Do this task while completing the task to get Helios/Hades.
Athena: Get congratulations from other players (2 points per congratulations)
Reward: Black Orchid
Tip: Congratulate as many players as you can, hoping they return the favor.
Hades: Participate in competitions (.6 point per competition)
Reward: Harmony pack
Tip: Groom, Water, jumping competitions (12% energy required) until around 20:45; carrot/turnip (both take 15 minutes), feed. You should be able to do about 6 or 7 competitions per day.
Mystery Horse: this will be announced on April 13th
Helios: Celebrate your horse’s 50th birthday (14 points per horse)
Reward: 20 diamonds
Tip: There isn’t much you can do other than age seven immortal horses (or use Black Orchids for mortal horses, but it’ll take longer). You need to age the horse yourself on it’s 50th birthday to get the points. I took care of one horse and entering competitions with it. (skipped lessons/meadow time and got in 6/7 jumping competitions 12% energy each & gave it a carrot for Apollo). Then I purchased other horses around 30 years old and aged them to 50 years. I didn’t do any actions other than feeding them a carrot. Because it was immortal, it cannot die.
Dionysus: Participate in flash sales or give a donation to Ow (6 points per donation; flash sales unique)
Reward: Horn of Plenty
Tip: You will have to earn a certain amount of points a day to reach this in time. Check by dividing the points you need by the number of days left. You can only give one donation and purchase one item in the flash sales per day.
Hephaestus: Open a Horn of Plenty (4 points per HOP)
Reward: Nyx Pack
Zeus: Win all the wandering horses
Reward: a Wild Horse Sorraia
Good luck!

Possible ways of completing a line. Note: it does not have to start in this specific corner
Howrse’s newest promotion is similar to others, but with a new twist. This time, your collecting numbers and looking to fill your bingo cards. You will receive daily numbers when logging in as well as other ways that require a bit of effort:
when your horses play (maximum 10 per day)
when you nurse your foals (maximum 10 per day)
when you give horses a turnip (maximum 10 per day)
when you register your horses in a Grand Prix competition
in the flash sales (scroll to the bottom of this page and click on the symbols to see what can be won)
with UFOs
when you use your passes (excluding horse purchases) (1 pass used = 1 number or a bonus – gives you the number you need to complete the grid.)You need five in a row to complete a line. It can be either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. It seems as if the gifts are replaced daily. For example, the gifts available on March 20 include:
A check mark will appear one the side of the listed prizes once you complete the task.
Note: grids and numbers will reset each day at 7 GMT. This promotion will end on April 2, 2012.
Exmoor: Wild Horse
This is the first time I’m back on Howrse in probably a good two months or so, so I’m trying to keep up with the past changes as well. I’m assuming that this horse will lead to a new section of specials/divines. Exmoor is a wild horse found in England and is labeled as a wild species on its characteristics page. On the info tab it states, “Wild horses are extremely rare and need to be tamed from birth before they can be properly trained.This can be a long and difficult process, but when you’re done they reward you with a ton of diamonds up until 80 years old!” It seems that this horse will throw some curve balls in your way in order to make the training difficult. Maybe it won’t gain skill as fast or lose skill under certain circumstances. However, a certain amount of diamonds will be rewarded in a certain amount of time. If anyone receives this horse or hears more about it, I’d love to hear the details!
Also, if you are the quickest to train this wild horse, it’s genetic potential will increase.
