The Weekly Grand Prix *Update*
This amazing new competition allows you to 3 passes as well as a .5 GP gain. However, this can be hard to enter, since it’s not like a normal competition. In order to enter, you must find a ticket in your HOP. This tickets will only be available through May 27th the end of June. It will then be based on seniority; my guess is that it will continuously be available. The chances of getting one is less than getting a turnip, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
Each day is assigned a specific event:
- Monday : cross-country event
- Tuesday : trot racing event
- Wednesday : show jumping event
- Thursday : barrel racing event
- Friday : gallop racing event
- *Saturday: Rankings displayed
- Sunday: Day of rest

*Rankings: The best horses are displayed in the rankings. In order for your rankings to be displayed, you must have participated in all five events, but it doesn’t have to be with the same horse. (To the right is yesterday’s ranking. If you click the picture, you can see the enlarged version, showing you how much skills your horse will need to enter.)
Besides it being a bit hard to find it in a HOP, this event will consume 10 hours of your horses’ day and 99% of it’s energy. You will be allowed to enter two horses for the day and they don’t always have to be the same horses.
Bonuses, found in the Horn of Plenty, will be available certain days to improve your horses’ chances of winning: (You can find images of these below in the photo gallery)
- Friday to Sunday : Power of the Storm, Appearance of the Hurricane, Bonus Monsoon
- Monday and Tuesday : Tranquility of the Breeze, Energy of the Thunderstorm
- Wednesday and Thursday : Strength of the Typhoon, Effect of the Tornado
In order to receive these bonuses, you must first get a ticket to the event. These items are applied to just one horse either; it is applied to your whole account, so any horse can benefit in the competition. Each item may be found only once, so I’m guessing it will stick with your account.
The winners of the races will receive the following:
- First place: 3 passes + 0.5 point of GP on the the horse
- 2nd to 5th runner up : 0.4 to 0.1 point of GP
- Top 100 : 1000 Equus
- For all the participants : 500 equus
After the weekly rankings are announced, the top ten will get an award on their page and the top 100 will visit the Fountain for water to find triple the amount of energy gains and morale.
If you already have your ticket and possibly have access to different things, please feel free to send me pictures! E-mail me at howrsehelper.com@gmail.com or message me on Howrse.

Hello, doe´s this mean the achievements will be removed??! I really don´t wan´t them to be removed..1!!!!
Yup – you can read about it here
Hey, I would prefer you to PM me about this on Ponyluv9, but I was just wondering if you got a ticket on say week one, would it still work for the next week?
Um, just wondering, my horse got in the 2,000 range, something like that, and I got a thousdand eqqus. Did the prizes change since theres no more achievements?
You can get in last place and still get 1000e. Just participating will earn you a 1,000e per horse. ;)
Ahh okay, just wondering since it said that you only earn 500e and it wasn’t a bug or anything.
Hm..they probably changed it and i might not have edited it.
how long does the ticket last do you only get it till you complete all of the events or do you get it for the rest of the game life you have on howrse ???
You will always have access to the Grand Prix…it does not expire.
my horses always get in the top 100
can you send the ticket to someone
No..it’s more of just a feature on Howrse that you can use. You can’t send it or lose it.
whats the lowest skill the horses have will a ticket work for more than one horse??
I’m not sure what your asking…any horse can enter no matter what the skill level is and any it will work for all your horses. It’s basically just a feature linked to your account.
Please help me please, I have a VERY urgent question.
I got my ticket today THURSDAY
can I save it till next week or not?
thank you
It will stay linked to your account for the whole time you are on the game; it won’t expire.
Hi i dont know how to enter my horse into the grand prix i have 3 entery tickets aswell
Hm..I think you might have mistaken it for something else then, as you can only have one entry ticket.
99% of the energy??? won’t this kill the horse????
when i go to enter my horse in the grand prix competion it says it will take 99% of the energy….is this right? I don’t want to kill my horse….
i have entered my pony on monday. cross country. after, they had only 1% energy!!! i had give it an energy mash, and loads of feeding, but tomorrow it will be the same, but i can’t give a mash, i have to wait.
also, my friend tried to send a black orchid but if said ” none of your friends can use this object!” please help!!
Nope; it needs to be done in the beginning of the day. Then the other treats and forage will bring the energy back up. It require a lot of time too, so it take’s up the horse’s whole day.
What about any other treats? The Grand Prix must be done early in the day before other feeding/treats so there are some for after the competition.
Hey,I have a horse account and I really want to enter in the grand orix but I dont have a ticket and dont know how to get passes to buy a horn of plenty??? plz help have you got cheats I can use to get passes plz xxx !!!
Try getting a horn of plenty through stroking an Xanthos. Or, try to buy one from a player. Passes can be bought with equus once you reached 50 days of seniority.
Hey,
I used to have grand prix ticket and i entered some of my horses in it and everything was fine… but now i can’t enter in it anymore and i don’t know why, I’m trying to do the objective we’re you have to enter a horse in it but it the option to enter it doesn’t even show up anymore
do you know what could be wrong?
Today is the rest day, so the button is fully removed from your page. It will reappear on Monday.
Hey. Ok do you have to enter the horse or does it do it for you?>
I think you enter through a link but I don’t really know I’ve never entered!!!
You enter by clicking the Grand Prix button in the comps area.
You will need a ticket to enter that can be found in a HOP. Then, as Jay said, it will appear as a competition on your horse’s page. Note that Sunday is the only day it will not run.
does anything happen to your horse when ot goes in the grand prix?
It requires time (10 hours I think) and energy (99%) to partake in the Grand Prix. You’re entering a competition. You will receive 1,000e for entering.
Hi,
I was wondering if the Grand Prix was a one-time thing (if you enter two horses, it’s gone and you have to find another ticket) or you can enter as many horses as you’d like, two per day for the rest of forever and you don’t need to find another ticket.
Could you PM me on Int. Howrse, I’m xForeverLovingKiki.
Thanks.
Thanks guys, I know that it never expires now. 2 horses per day for the rest of forever and you don’t need to find another ticket.
Hey ~ I need to enter the grand prix for the puzzles but I can’t get a ticket! I gave away some of my BM items to my friend who traded me hers, and and bought another using my equus. I opened the first one and it was horrible!
I want to open the next but dont want to waste it if nothing good is going to come from it!
Is it the same thing in the HOPs every day?
Can I buy it from somebody? I mean the ticket itself?
p.s. Please email me the response on Howrse (I’m bbr) thanks.
where do you buy a ticket from
I don’t think it’s fair that you have to find a ticket to enter the Grand Prix. As that means you have to get passes to buy one and most people can’t do that, especially if your very young, and it’s highl unlikely their parents would let them spend money on a virtual game.
Also even in the exchange the cost for 1 HOP is very expensive in equus, and if not equus you need to have the itme the person wants, which you might not even have and even if you bought it, it would have been cheaper to buy the HOP, and so far it’s highly unlikely you will get 1, especially with the Jigsaw puzzles, you need to enter the Grand Prix, which means a lot of people will be stuck.
In my personal opinion I think that everyone on howrse should have been goven 1 ticket 2 be used specifically for the Grand Prix, but just during the time of the Puzzles.
Yours sincerely A. Williams
That would be something you should take up with Howrse.
As a reminder, you get a free pass for every horse over 30 you own who is sent to heaven. So earning free passes is very attainable for all dedicated players.

Horse lover, a HOP stands for Horn of Plenty which is a Black Market item that gives you different items, including other Black Market items when you open it. You can enter your horse in a competition once it is three years old and has tack. Yes, you cannot have more than one account on Howrse; Howrse will delete one of the accounts as it is considered cheating. No, there aren’t any baby pegasuses on Howrse. To get a pegasus, a Medusa’s Blood must be given to the horse once it is at least one year and eight months old.
