Hey Rival Stars community!

We’re so excited to share the 1.76 Season of Style Update with you, but before we jump in, here’s a quick heads-up about what September has in store.

‍

Over the next month, we’ll be releasing a few smaller, incremental updates packed with fresh visual content for your horses, alongside a lineup of fun Limited Time Events to celebrate the Autumn season. There’ll be plenty to discover along the way, so keep an eye out for more news throughout the month!

‍

For now, let’s take a look at what’s coming in 1.76.

‍

Season of Style! 

This Autumn season, we’re dressing up in style with two new Exotic Traits designed to show off your horse’s whimsical side! The Diamond Braid Mane weaves intricate criss-cross braids into a fun and stylish plait, while the Continental Braid Tail brings that same polished look to the tail.

Paired together, they create a beautifully coordinated style, but each is just as easy to mix and match with other looks too. 

‍

‍

The Diamond Braid Mane and Continental Braid Tail will be available soon through upcoming events, but they’re only the beginning of what you’ll discover during the Season of Style. We’re also introducing the new Leaf Tobiano coat pattern, Black Sooty colour, and an all-new Pearl dilution, giving you even more ways to create a look you love.

Keep an eye on the Event Hub for upcoming opportunities to collect them, and follow our social channels for a few sneak peeks along the way!

Autumn Events Are on the Way!

‍

We’re giving some of our seasonal Limited Time Events a fresh look this year, with new Tack Sets to collect throughout the Autumn season. Here’s an early look at the Night’s Veil, coming to our Gallop and Ghouls event over Halloween! We’ve also got a few more Autumn-inspired Tack Sets waiting in the wings, but we’ll save those reveals for a little later. 

‍

‍

There’ll be plenty to leap into throughout the Season of Style, including special events and daily rewards. From September 14th to September 27th, simply log in each day to claim a free reward from our Golden Harvest Calendar and add a few extra goodies to your stable.

‍

‍

We’re also bringing the community together for a special Breeding Community Event, where every breed helps towards shared milestones and rewards. Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to breed for exciting coats, colours, and Traits, with Instant Timers available during these events so you can start training your future champions quickly! Keep an eye on the Event Hub so you don’t miss your chance to take part!

What’s Coming Up Next?

September is going to move a little faster than usual, with our next couple of updates arriving closer together and bringing even more visual content to the Season of Style.

You may have already caught an early glimpse of what’s ahead if you spotted the Western WIP teaser we shared for National Cowboy and Cowgirl Day. We’ll have more to share soon, so keep an eye on our social channels as we reveal what’s coming next.

As always, thanks for riding with us, and see you at the races!
