Again anybody still having that issue is a cache clearing issue. I had to do it again. Now it works.

is there any reason why the Horse Types of Unspecified, any dirt, any turf, any miler, any router etc have been removed from the Horse Type drop down list?

Will we be getting them back?

I found them quite handy when i was not sure what I wanted to do with a horse.

Thanks.
Hi Rachel,

I can see there is some support for adding back "unspecified" but because you can select multiple options we don't need Any Dirt/Any turf anymore. You can select Dirt Route, Dirt Mile, and Dirt Sprint (which would be very very rare) or, even better, now you can select Dirt Route/Dirt Mile instead of Any, which would have gotten all three. This way is more specific.

I LOVE this!

One thing! Now that we can set multiple horse types for stallions... Is there any way that we could search for stallions that are listed in more than one specific category? Like some way of displaying all horses that are listed under *both* TS and AWS, for example?

Not complaining, just an fyi:

The mass private sale doesn’t let you accept a large quantity. I made a large deal and got to the page where all 97 were listed. I then clicked on the select all tab for them so all 97 were highlighted. Then when I click the accept selected offers option, the game just says you didn’t bring a horse with you. It seems like a broken feature.

In a nutshell: the person transferring them to me was able to send a ton all at once, but the receiver (me) can’t accept them all at once.

No big deal and I promise I’m not complaining, just wanted you all to know.
Was the offer for the 97 horses a Private Sale or Private Lease? Was it for $0 or for something larger than $0? I just tried to mock up the situation you described and it worked so I need more information. I also checked your account and it looked like there were a number of private offers waiting. I didn't want to actually accept the offers for you, but it appeared that it was going to work.

Try again? Tell me more?

Dear Admin:

I sent all those horses to Randall Allen as I'm selling off all my mixers. It should be over 300 in total and we already settled financially with the sale of one horse. Therefore all those private offers should be $0. I may have left the box empty which I believe means it defaults to $0. Thanks.

I need Randall Allen to try again to accept the offers. It looks like it should work.
The message "you didn't bring a horse with you" happens if you go to a bookmark directly or if you don't check any checkboxes before choosing the "Accept Offers" menu. Step by step description of what isn't working would be helpful. Thanks.

Unspecified has been added back to the filter menu. Check it out.

I guess the picture of Spencer changes throughout the year, he looks pretty relaxed now (and his board says "On Break") but on the 8.0 intro page he looks very busy

We have been waiting for spencer for several months, or even years.
When he finalyy shows up, he just sits there sipping coffee, stating that he is on a break.
Most people tend to do an extra effort when they start a new job..
I guess I am a little disappointed in that Spencerslacker.
I just hope that he takes care of his air traffic control duties. I don't want my horses to crash on the airfield.
My suggestion is to only do transport by Van until we get to know that Spencer a bit better.

I like this "regalloping" of the mixers. Now it is easier to see the true freak% of each mixer stud. There were some changes at least in QH and arabs.
I think some mixers were never regalloped after last twitch and that made their studs look better than they actually were.

For example mighty sandstorm now has the highest freak% and someone noticed before me and he is now fully booked.

I like this change. But it will affect upcoming festivus. If I get three freaks this year I will be freaking out.

Yes I am, lost count of the number of times I’ve logged in and out. Am I missing something?

Furthermore, I’m not impressed with the need to toggle back and forth between messages to make sure I’ve replied to something.
