Thank you everyone for all the amazing new backgrounds you created for our game. We are capping off the December celebrations with a tack-up contest. Please use the tack editor to create the best image you can.

Rules:
-You must have created the image entirely, with no purchasing from other players.
Entries will close early on December 29th.
-Jenx and I will be picking one winner per category per server.
-Only one entry per category per account, please.
-You must label what category each entry is for.
-You may edit your post to change your entry but please only make a single entry post.
-Winners will receive a 1,000-stall barn!

Best Turn Out
Show us your best horse barn or show grounds look. The new Show Time tack pack has stall drapes, and plants to help you fancy things up. Can be in the arena, on the trail, or in the barn but show us your best dressed-to-impress image.

Most Festive
Dress your horse up with the most festive image possible. All Holidays allowed!

Some tips:
-If you are having issues with layering messing up when you move an item forward or backward (or flipped items unflipping on save) try deleting the item and re-adding it from the "Add New Item" menu. Duplicating can cause some issues
-Use tab to cycle through the items in the list if you lost something in the image.
-You can also bring an item forward lots of times if you are not seeing it.
-The reset button can help if an item has jumped off the screen.
-Use the arrow keys to move an item around more precisely.
-If the image is not updating on your forum post clear your cache.
-Have some more tips? Post them below.

I am working on an entry but my tip for a lot of items is to SAVE constantly! You don't want to lose the work you've already done. :)

I may push this contest into the new year to get some more entries. We are looking for people doing creative things with backgrounds and tack packs for our winners. Just adding tack to a horse is not enough to win a 1000-stall barn. We want to see some real creativity and make good use of the advanced tack editor.

Walywoohoo · Dec 28, 2023 11:00 AM

When will you decide? I should have WiFi on the first :))

Khisanth · Dec 28, 2023 11:11 AM

I would love an extension personally. :)) between massive overtime at work and holiday festivities, I am behind. I just started looking at the new tack today. That’s a mighty fine prize to not give a good attempt.

Khisanth · Dec 28, 2023 11:23 AM

Most Festive- Winter Solstice. I love how his coloring turned out with the ‘moon’ in the clouds on his side.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered. We picked a 1k barn winner for each category and Jenx and I picked a few extra prizes to send out to our favorites. There were some issues with rollovers changing BCs and ordering so we took that into account when judging.
