[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: March 2026

I mean, I get wanting to tidy up things to make it match but, now with the different sizes of the button icons, the weird stroke gesture with 4 fingers, and I like the new grand prix icon but at the same time it somehow looks out of place? Like the design doesn't fit what's around it but maybe that's just me and I need to get used to it. I do like the new ride icons except for that, and again this might just be a me thing, that it looks to me like the forest icon is smaller than the others? The lesson icon just looks weirdly stretched. This change has resulted in everything to look less in line with the interface. Also, I've never heard anyone complain about the old icons.

The stroke icon is weird. I don't understand the changes especially the public coverings one. Why is it so skinny?

I can handle someone giving me the finger but please fix the Lesson button

I truly feel as though they have created an issue out of something that was never an issued?

As stated above, I can not recall a time where a player has complained about the old icons. Sure the game could use a revamp- however, as per players concerns above- just to name a few... There is a whole pool of issues that are both game and player affecting that in my personal opinion hold a much higher priority then wonky icon images...

They just don't listen to their players... at all and it is starting to become more frustrating then ever, because these updates are usually pointless. They take 1 step forward by showing good initiative and releasing requested features into the game, then 3 steps backwards with features like this one that look like no consideration was gone into... nor care based off the icons that I have seen.

I guess, on the bright side I have got a bit of a laugh out of it.. Getting given the finger every time you stroke your horse and sending your horses to what looks like a black hole when doing a lesson..

Anyways, hope they actually start to listen to players opinions cause majority are getting very fed up with being ignored!



PS- I think an eye roll emoji would be a great addition to the emojis.

The changes on the hand are actually super subtle, all they've done is taken out the sharpness of the thumb and 2nd last finger by rounding them off, but it's made a very visable difference. All l can see is someone giving me the lazy Bird

Mwahahah, yep, just a good giggle to be honest

Ditto
A couple of the last changes have been a great addition to the enjoyment and ease of our game. Credit where it's due, or not, in this case

Rolling eyeball is a must have

Im just going to add my 2 cents worth here, will I be listened too? Meh probs not

Like everyone has said why fix something that was fine in the first place? That stroke button gives me the creeps, it sticks out more, the covering button looks just weird. The rides button is smaller which does make it more distracting especially when you are blupping at speed.

Like what was mentioned earlier, can we please have the black market item pages changed?! For the payment at the bottom please just swap the pass payment and inventory payment around so it naturally selects the inventory first, better yet have it like the old black market item pages and have it show how many items of that item is left in your inventory. I feel its quite cheeky that it naturally selects to pay with passes first, howrse seems to do that because that means players would need to buy more passes. Especially with the lag (that issue seems to be ignored too) it makes the page lag and even tho you click on paying with inventory it can quickly jump options again and make you pay with passes.

How about fix the reindeer updates?! Certain players gained free passes from just entering their reindeer in a 2 hour gap between the new month update and the prizes being dished out. Some players made 200 passes when they didn't even win them in the first place

Better yet, why dont you have the monthly team updates happen on the 1st of the month!? This server is Australian based so that means we are ahead of France. So just because we arent in France we have all our times and team updates muddled up!? The christmas divines still activate on the 25th our time fine so why not the teams?

I could mention more issues that would be great in the updates but its a waste of time with this lot. But eye rolling emoji would be great

If you want to "optimize" the quality of our playing experience how about leaving things alone that don't need fixing and actually listen to legitimate complaints. Stop wasting your time doing pointless "fixes" that were already perfectly functional.

When the update came through and I saw the buttons for the first time, I thought I needed my eyes tested. I usually play with my screen at 75% to fit more of the page on my laptop screen without needing to scroll but now most of the buttons are quite blurry at 75%...in fact anything below 100% now just doesn't look right. So thanks for that

If you want to play around with artwork why not give each individual horse breed DIFFERENT lineart instead of reusing the exact same ones for many. Now that would make the game look so much nicer!

PLEASE stop making things fainter, it makes them so hard to see. I can actually not see the cover button clearly enough any more to work out whether it is saying I cannot cover or I can.
Talk about if it's not broken do not fix it, it was just fine before!

It is interesting that most of the icons have had the saturation increased and made larger, the stroke option is now more obvious and looks wrong, mainly because its more orange, sunburnt maybe, the cover button is faint now, and hard to see - guess like every change we will just get used to it
