Howrse!
For those who love horses there's a game for that! You can breed your own horses, sell in the auctions, and private sales, earn equus (howrse money), you can even name all of your horses.
There is a Black market on howrse where you use passes (special things you buy with your real money) to buy special BM's that can bring up a horses skill, make it a Pegasus, or even change it's coat.
Howrse pegasus
As you advance through the game you get a higher seniority which is basically how many days you have been on the game. You can also accumulate EQUUS which is another word for the money you have earned on howrse.
The great thing about howrse is that you don't have to pay real money to get bonus's even the passes (which you do buy with real money) can be bought from other players at a certain price.
There is no limit on how many horses you can own, but it is best to start out with a couple until you earn the money to feed, and board them. You can also buy them companions, some like the cat are normal but you can get special ones (like the pheonix or the kangaroo).
There is an ideas forum as well where you can post any good or bad ideas you have. Special horses are constantly coming out, and have funky names. New breeds come out as well, and at first there are none around. If you want to earn money off of training and selling them then you want to get them asap but if you just want them for your own fun, then it is best to wait awhile until they have been bred and rebred to make more of them.
You will find that every breeder has their own affix, which is like a label for your horses, once you have affixed them only you can change it, and if you decide to sell them then the affix will stick so you can always find them. A lot of breeders also choose to have a certain breed of horse, or they collect GA coats, or collect unicorns or specials.
EVEN MORE TO COME!
AND if you need a helper/friend on howrse i am on the universal version as wally09
