  • I've been playing this game for a long time and it used to be fun, but now it's just a timesuck.
  • They're so stupid that they assumed it was one account which means their rules are even dumber.

“Wow!”

Becca K.
4/2/21

This is really fun, the only reason it's getting bad reviews is because some players are unkind, (in my experience hard to find) and you can't ride the horse. So in Howrse, you can compete with your horse and take care of it, the way you compete is if your horse has enough energy, you select a competition, which it has to have 5 participants, some are researved for a certain breed. This is mainly a breeding game, it breeds the right color andgenetics, you'll fall in love with this game! With tutorials, it gives very clear instructions,

“Greedy Money Hungry Game”

Zophi M.
5/8/23

As a base player, there aren't many things you can actually obtain without spending money. Sure they run events frequent enough where you could potentially win some high end black market items, but for the most part it would take someone a little while saving up equus to purchase a black market item off the exchange from other players. They only offer Divine horses through promotions such as the Horn of Plenty, or Golden Fleece. I refuse to give this company a dime just for the chance to get Divine horses. They should be far more readily available for players who cannot afford to throw hundreds of dollars at this game. I no longer play as a result of their greedy tendencies that have gone on for far too long.

I wish that I could do just as good as someone who pays. Or even a little less. Rare things are impossible for me to get and it makes me not want to play.

Honestly, this is the best game I've ever played. I've introduced several people to this game, including my grandmother. I'm probably addicted but eH. Anyways, you can actually get somewhere in the game without paying for passes! I've just reached 1,000 passes today, and that's after buying tons of stuff with them xD

The staff are amazing, plus, there's all sorts of people on there! I've made so many friends on here. Oh! And don't get me started on the artists. Dudeee, the coats/backgrounds that they make are AMAZING. 10/10!

The teams are really fun too! Competing against other teams for the top spot as friendly competition is exciting! I'm part of a team (and an unoffical one), and we're always competing with another team with the same horse breed.

Howrse always tells you happy birthday on your special day, and honestly, that's one of the sweetest additions to the game. I've been on howrse for about 4 years now, 2 years switching between accounts, 6 months on one lingering around, and finally my main for however long now.

The community is also amazing-- we're always happy and cheerful with each other. It's easy to make friends in that environment.

They also have events, almost new every month, which is the best part! You can win so many things, and play around with it.

I recommend this game to everyone, it's amazing. 10/10.
(The pictures are of my horses: "Meteorite", "Hawkwing", "Titan", "Meglovania", and "Hidden Whisper")

Tip for consumers:
After you finish the tutorial, stick around! Things get exciting!

I've always loved horses. The Daily objectives help you get passes, and after I checked my pass history, I found out the game gifted me 1,818 passes. I haven't spent any money yet. I do not recommend anyone to buy HOP, Titan's Challenges, or Golden Fleeces. You'll waste all your passes.

This is the best game I've played, the community is nice, it's easy to get passes. I don't know what the other reivews are talking about, 30 passes a day if you do your daily objectives!

Tip for consumers:
Be nice, many of the players are young kids!

This is the best game ever! The Contests are so fun and the trophies are compelling so you never get bored! You can join a team and try and breed top-notch horses and you can be a casual player and still have fun! Though I would recommend making contests easier for the non-pass buyers. It gets kinda hard. And for the pinatas event, I really want Sequoia to get the grizzly companion but It's kinda hard for the non-pass buyer.

Tip for consumers:
P.S The Game might be boring at first but stick with it. I promise you that it will be amazing. The pic below is the pinatas event. So howrse can know what I'm talking about. :)

This is my favtlorite online game EVER! Howrse will ban you if you are inactive, so if you plan on going away, get some on to co manage your account. This does not make them stupid. For the one review i read that complained about donating to ow, you can't read. It literally says, "do you want to donate this horse to ow? You will lose it." Gosh. If you need any help on the sight, just pm me (BONES13). I have played for 6 years and I absolutely love it. If you work hard enough, you can make it.

Alright so all these bad reviews you are seeing are from people that cant read rules or learn how to play a simple game.
No howrse wont ban you for no apparent reason. Thats idiotic and so is the person claiming that howrse is horrible.
Yes im calling everyone that gave howrse a 2 star or less rating an idiot.
I excel in the game without buying passes. Ive gotten top horses and i own multiple divines. Even diamond apples, got those with some hard work and effort;)
Anyways, its a great game if youre smart and have the time to play.
Howrse hack v2 will get you banned quickly.
Yes multi accounting is highly illegal there, as ive lost karma for doing so.
Anyways to the "idiots" please learn how to play. Need help? *******@ke6upi.com

They offer a creative space to enter backgrounds and horse illustrations. They have repeatedly canceled my designs which cost $8.00 per submission. They first claimed the first ones were copies of photographs and yes they were. They second batch they claimed were photographs and though they were taken from the idea of a photograph they were gimp, Paint.net and Photoscape painted designs that I created. The third submission they claim was too similar to already submitted designs, and there are none on any of the sites that are even remotely similar to my design in a horse.

This site is a wonderful site that includes horses and money. In this virtual game, you can buy and sell horses, raise and care for them, you can even chat with friends. I'm a 26 year old woman and even i enjoy it! You can buy special items that can help your horse and also cure it. This game is almost like real life for extreme breeders.
