Breeding Groups have now become official by the introduction of teams. Teams allow you to get together with other players, work on a specific breed and improve its genetic potential. There can be up to 20 players in a Team, but the creator of the team needs to have a VIP account. You do not have to have a VIP account to join a team, although you can only get an invitation to a team, you can't make a formal request.
The teams include the abilities to:
- Lend horses with the team affix
- Share an affix
- Have a team presentation
- Access private forums for you and your teammates
- Make covering reservations for you and your teammates
Howrse has also intoduced a team ranking and a new section in the Breeder's manual: Section 5.5 - Teams

Winged Unicorns
A new breed has been introduced to the games - the winged unicorn. To get a winged unicorn, just give a Medusa's blood to one of your unicorns.
Creators will have the opportunity to send winged unicorn creations to the creation space starting next month and collectors will be able to give Golden Apples to their winged unicorns. Winged unicorns can also receive a 5th element.
New trophies have also been added, and the winged unicorns are now added to the following trophies: Breed, Golden Apple per species, Vanished Golden Apple per species.
If you give a unicorn with a golden apple, bewitched pumpkin or a 5th element a Medusa's Blood, it will not change its coat although it will be called a winged unicorn.

Customizing your horse
The last small tweak is the ability to customize your horse even further. You can now shrink and flip your horse if it has a Helios Ray. This helps your horse blend into the background further and it will make your horse even more unique!

Here are some tips for the promotion:
- Always get on every day, even if you don't care for any horses
- Save up your diamonds for when you get a double of a card. If it's a gift card, it doesn't really matter, but if it's a puzzle card trade that before a gift card
- Trade your doubles of higher rarity cards e.g gold cards before lower rarity cards e.g bronze cards
- Be patient with the flash sales to get the best bargain - purchase through the auctions rather than the direct sales
- Always watch the video to get an extra bronze card
- Try and care for and enter your horses. Even if they are rubbish, enter them in competitions, there is always a chance you might win one
- Enter competitions with a lower track length, as they will be easier to win although they don't give as much equus. You can lower the track length in cross country and showjumping competitions.
