The First type of Western objectives will be available during the entire 3 week period.
They come in 3 different difficulty levels and you will have to complete the first objective of each level to get to the second objective of each level and so on to get to the third level.
To get to the Western objective page, simply go to the home page and click on the Western objective insert.
The second type of Western objectives are competition objectives you have a week to complete them. 
Every Monday at 00:00 game time a little set of Western Competition objective will be available for you to try out your skills.
You have to complete the set within the week because when a new set is introduced, the previous set can't be completed any more.

Sorry for short blogging

I apologize for my lack of update on the blog.

These few days school has kept me busy, I am close to preparation of the winter exams and presentations on school makes it harder. I promise I will be better when these weeks have gone by! 
Despite school I also have had a lot to do around me, I've set a new goal for howrse as I don't have the best intrest to train top horses I will collect as much cheap horses as I can, and hopefully if you want to help, reserve me a horse you don't need for a price between 500-800 :)

Today on Howrse, the Lottery is back to give you plenty of fun goodies until the 6th of February at 12:00 game time!
We have made some changes on the way to get tickets for the Lottery draws!
Here are the various ways of gathering tickets :
- Buying tickets with equus. You can now buy as many tickets as you like against equus for each draw.
Each time you buy a ticket the price in equus of the next ticket triples. The first ticket costs 100 equus, the second 300, the third 900 and so on.

- Tickets from winning competitions. You can get two tickets per draw from winning competitions.

- Tickets from your friends. You can now receive 5 tickets from your friends per draw.

- Tickets for using passes. Using a pass on the game now earns you 3 tickets for the following draw. (However this isn't available for horse sales/purchases.)

If you are very lucky you could even get Jade as top prize!
Please note that you can only win the 3 top gifts once during the whole Lottery, you can't get Jade twice for instance.
The times for the Lottery draws have changed slightly, to know when the next draw is coming up, check the Lottery page.
The Lottery is also hiding a surprise from Central Europe for some of the lucky winners!
And plenty of other nice gifts !
We wish you luck!
