Game Update
Welcome to the Equestrian Festival!
It may be April first, but this is no joke - the Equestrian Festival is back!
A Warm Welcome!
The Equestrian Festival is one of the most prestigious and serious events of the year! There is to be no tomfoolery or joking around during this time. That is why we have the responsible Tan to greet all visitors in the Moorland festival hub! She will happily show all the visitors around the festival grounds, pointing out all the hotspots. There is also a beautiful carriage close by, ready to transport all Star Riders to the main part of the festival - the iconic Jorvik Stables! We are sure that there will be nothing but glitz, glamour, and serious vibes in this location as well.
…Is that a horse mascot in the Jorvik Stables courtyard?
Oh well, what is a Star Stable Festival without a bit of whimsy! McHorse is a new hire for this year, and the task at hand is to ensure all activities are fun and safe for everyone involved. Unfortunately, that is quite hard to do when you’re stuck in a horse suit! Seems that poor McHorse may be in need of some help these next few weeks.
The Equestrian Festival will pack up and leave with the Wednesday update on April 29th, but it will be back again next year!
Festival Activities!
There’s something for everyone in this festival! Here’s a list of some of the major things going on, for an easy overview:
★ A daily Horse Parade!
★ Hopping around on Bouncy Horses!
★ The Moorland Welcome Challenge!
★ Jorvik Stables Show Jumping!
★ Jorvik Stables Cross Country!
And of course, players can revisit the questline where Sabine is causing mischief at the festival. The first two parts of the story are available this week, and the last two will come next week. As this story has been told for a few years now, this will be the last time that these quests are available at the Equestrian Festival!
Festival Coat Variations!
The Equestrian Festival brings with it some beautiful horses of varying breeds. This year, we welcome two new horses to the lineup! It is an Andalusian and a Friesian Sport Horse, available for 950 Star Coins each.
We also welcome back our coat variations that were here last year!
★ Arabians, 522 Star Coins each
★ English Thoroughbreds, 467 Star Coins each
★ Dutch Warmbloods, 665 Star Coins each
★ Hanoverians, 665 Star Coins each
★ Lipizzaner, 665 Star Coins
All the coat variations - new and old - are available in the Moorland festival hub, as well as the Jorvik Stables courtyard. These horses will leave with the rest of the Equestrian Festival on April 29th, before returning next year!
Festival Fashion and Decor!
With the festival we of course also bring new clothes and tack! The Blushed Bow set comes adorned with sweet bows, while the Fierce Feline set shows that this kitty’s got claws!
We also have two new sets available for Spring Tokens! The Aero brand brings gear inspired by being airborne, and sports a beautiful blue color in the Aero Azure set. In addition to that, we also bring the Lavender REX set! Rex Stamper's new line "REX" brings both sport and style to the Rex Stamper brand.
All our item sets are available in the Moorland festival hub, as well as in the new store area just outside the walls of Jorvik Stables!
We’ve also made some updates to the Moorland and Brickhaven Stable Customizations! New metals and brick colors are now available through the customization catalogue in the home stable.
Champion Ranks!
It’s time for another season of Champion Ranks! This time it’s the stylish Equestrian Festival themed ribbons, from a simple button to an extravagant three-layered rosette. The Champion Ranks season will run from April 1st, 09:30 server time, to April 28th, 23:59 server time. Good luck on the racetrack, everyone!
Happy Horse Week!
To ensure all horses are feeling their best during the festivities, we’re hosting Happy Horse Week! All horses are now as happy as they can be, and 7 days of stable care have been added to everyone. Already had stable care going on? No worries, it will stack onto existing days!
Coming NEXT WEEK!
The festival brings back an iconic race!
