Hey Rival Stars Community!

We finally made it! The Season of Style concludes with our latest incremental update, bringing fresh looks for your horses and a bunch of other goodies to discover.

With Halloween just around the corner, we’re shining a light on some spooky new additions alongside fresh Western Tack Sets, seasonal horse customizations, and plenty of festive treats still to come.

So, let’s leap in!

Saddle Up in New Western Tack Sets

‍

Included in this update are three new Western Tack Sets, each bringing a different splash of colour and personality to your stable.

Fancy something fabulous? The Sweetheart Rodeo Tack Set might be just what you’re looking for. Want something a little more down to earth? Canyon Berry might be your flavour. Or perhaps, the Blue Blaze Tack Set will add a little extra style to your stallion.

‍

Whatever your flavour, there are plenty of options for those braving the Wild West to show off a little personality on the ride.

These new Tack Sets will become available through upcoming Limited Time Events, so make sure to check the Event Hub in-game for the latest event details and opportunities to collect them.

Something Spooky This Way Comes

With All Hallows’ Eve fast approaching, we’ve been preparing for the festivities with some spooky new customisations and seasonal events!

This Halloween, you’ll be able to dress to impress with new additions including the Spellcaster’s Bonnet, perfect for giving your horse a little sprinkle of supernatural flair.

‍

The Spellcaster’s Bonnet will first be available as a Limited Time Offer, alongside the new Reaper Rabicano horse coat.

If you’re searching for something a little less spooky, also pictured is the Maplewood Tack Set, a Western Tack Set featuring an embossed maple flower design and a warm Autumnal colour scheme, which will be available as part of the Racepass in an upcoming event.

There are heaps of Halloween goodies still to discover over the next few weeks, so keep one eye on the Event Hub for upcoming events and rewards, and another on our social channels for some fun and festive competitions to take part in!

What’s Coming Up Next?

That wraps up our Season of Style updates! Thanks for riding with us over the past few weeks and for showing off all the new looks, styles, and seasonal additions along the way.

We recently shared that we’re making changes to Team Leaderboards and how Show Jumping contributes to them, and that work is now underway.

‍

Once these changes are in place, Show Jumping Live Events will continue to have their own Leaderboard and will award Team Points to that Leaderboard only. 

Players who enjoy Show Jumping can keep competing, while teams focused on other disciplines can choose whether to take part.

‍

As rollout continues this week, Show Jumping will continue to contribute to all Leaderboards as it has previously. However, during the week of October 19th, we won’t be running Show Jumping Live Events while these changes are made.

Show Jumping will return during the week of October 26th in its usual time slot.

‍

As always, thanks for riding with us, sharing your feedback, and being part of the Rival Stars community. We’ve got plenty more ahead, and we’ll see you at the races!
