An unhappy horse will not perform too well in shows, so you would probably want your horses to be very happy.
Things that will make your horse happier:
1. Treats
Sugar => 1% happier, Cookies => 3%, Carrots => 5%, Apples => 7% and Grain => 10%
You can give your horse treats only once a month.
2. Feeding by stablehands
Since the stablehands are expert in feeding horses, the horses registered at the AVH Stable will be roughly 1% happier every game month.
The AVH Stable is also offering its expert services in treat preparations.
The offer comes with great discounts and you will actually pay less for these great services than you would pay if you bought the treats from the market.
For instance, you pay 1200 coins for one year of monthly carrot feeding.
If you bought carrots from the market every month, you would have to pay 2400 coins in total.
3. Grooming
You can schedule grooming for you horse in the AVH stable as well.
Basic Grooming => 3% happier, advanced grooming => 6%, expert grooming => 10%,
This is to prevent random creation of accounts in AVH, so if your email is something like dshjdshdsjk@dskdjskj.com, you should change it to something valid and register it.
There is a Hint in the Town Hall explaining how to do that.
If you are unable to do it, a moderator will help you.
Anyway, bottom line is that only the registered accounts will be able to log on.
Your benefit is that all your players will receive 2000 coins daily.
AVH's benefit is that there will be less fake accounts, and evil players will not manage to create backup accounts as easily.
To get to the polls click on the 'Polls' button just above the guildline.
Note: Also when creating clubs, please check that you are not creating a club that is basically the same as something that has already been accepted. Duplicate clubs will likely be rejected.
Homo Equitabilis
Improvements:
You can still talk on your regular guildline and also there is now a common chat line so you can chat with players on other guilds. You will be able to view both lines.
The Letters next to your name will indicate which line you are talking on.
[R] rider
[E] equilibrium
[M] manufacturer
[C] chat
To type on your regular guildline you will select the Guild radio button. To type on the chat line select the Chat radio button.
You can also send private messages. To do this you will select the Tell radio button and type the player's name.

In order to avoid having your horses taken from you, they must be fed constantly.
If you cannot do that on a regular basis, you should register them at the AVH stable so that they will be fed by the stablehands.
The following are the accepted gaited horses:
American Walking Pony
Dole Trotter
French Totter
Missouri Fox Trotter
Narragansett Pacer
Orlov Trotter
Paso Fino
Peruvian Paso
Russian Trotter
Single-Footing
Tennessee Walking Horse
The current moderators are:
Kathy, Mojo, SallyMay, Tamia, The Elvish Misfit, Terris, Vivaldi and Jumperz Paradise.
You can contact them if you have game related questions or have to report naughty players.
In order for your club to get accepted you must find at least 15 other players to support it.
Starting today clubs that do not get 15 votes in 7 game months will be automatically deleted. If you do not manage to get 15 people to support your club, then maybe the game does not need such a club.
Players must still be level 5 to apply for this job.
Note: You cannot work at both jobs: you will either apply as a stablehand or as a vet if you would like a job.
You can list your horses there and other players can bid on them.
The rules of the auction place are written inside the market and reading them will teach you how to use this new feature.
This should be useful for those who want to pick the buyer as well as for those who do not know the value of the horse they are selling.
The winner(s) of a contest will be chosen by the members.
Any member can join a contest, and also has one vote for each contest.
The president of the club will decide if a contest has 1, 2 or 3 prizes.
The value of the prizes will be extracted from the club's coins.
Have fun!
There are several things about these shows:
1. All horses are allowed to enter.
2. Tack, specialization, skills, level are not important. The winners are picked randomly.
3. The horses still need to have the shots done, be fed and be the regular age.
4. Although specialization does not count in getting the winners, the shows you enter are counted, so do not break your spec by entering the wrong shows.
On Find Shows, there is a new checkbox. If it is checked, it will show the special shows.
This might prove useful when your friend's account has no coins and you need to feed or show horses. You can play some games and earn coins to feed them.
The first elections will be on June 1st, so make sure you voted for your favourite candidate.
On View History you will see when that horse was born, sold, transferred or retired.
The breeding date and the date when a mare foals will be recorded too.
Note: The event recording starts now, so do not ask why your horse's birth date is not there.
The answer is yes. You can do it.
