This topic is for those who love the Golden Apple and Helios Ray customization items. It's a place to share your favorites or help each other hunt for a perfect matching combo.

Try to avoid announcing when coats become retired so that we avoid clogging the forum up but sharing ones you are proud to have recently acquired is welcomed.

Forum rules do apply so advertising that you have coats for sale or that you are looking to purchase will not allowed in the topic.

Have fun sharing your favorites and helping one another on the perfect match-up hunt.

Are there any coats/Helios Ray backgrounds, related to Music or Japanese style?
By Retired breeder, 27th December 2017 02:56:16
Most that I know of are pre-CS but I did dig up these:

Oriental Haze by cerona
Miyajima by Gelana
Postcard from Japan by ebonita
Daigo-ji Temple by Shirae


the only music one that I can find post-CS is:

Solo by Sharon


You can go to the directories and search them up by name to preview.

also, what do you mean by Pre and Post CS?

Pre-CS means before the creative space was introduced. Post CS in this case means the image was released after they changed the sizing of helios rays.

When there was a size change in the format of helios rays players had the option to resubmit them but if they did not choose to do so then those backgrounds were retired.

Black pearl submissions

Hey guys, I can’t seem to find the BP forum so I’m guessing this is it? Anyway, I have two horses in the black pearl this month, would mean a lot if you could vote if you come across them default smiley :)

I'm very proud of both Edge of the Sky's skills and customizations, along with her dam Starshadow. Same with When the Skies Fall.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for Lily's and Sweetheart Sundance's coats to retire. . .

I realize this is like a month late and you may not be looking anymore but one of my of my favorites is called Азия with a matching background called Asian serenity by Lenika.

I found the coat on page 10 in the directories after searching Lenika.

Full landscape is on her deviantart linked below.

Anyone know if that, since donkeys can't be Pegasus', are we allowed to draw wings on a donkey coat to submit for the Black Pearl?

I adored this coat from the first time I saw it! Jumped at the chance to finally get it.


This is my favourite donk coat. I had put it on one previously, but when it looked like I had to leave the game for a bit, possibly permanently, I rehomed her. When I got back into action, the coat had retired, so I was lucky to find one available. I also love this background.

This girl is gorgeous. I purchased her because I wanted the kitty and happened to have a Harmony Pack in stock, so I went for this. Beautiful.

I adore this coat and the background seemed to work with it -

When it comes to Howrse coats, I love ones that look realistic. Over the years I've played this game I've accumulated a number of favourites, but don't yet have the horses or resources to get them on this account I now play with.

At the moment, I've got two horses with GA/HR pairings. I'm particularly pleased with them - although the horse's are not 100% realistic, some elements are. But I quite liked the fantasy theme of Fairy Dust, and I thought Diva's coat was beautiful and had a lot of presence, and she deserved such a beautiful backgroud.

Diva

I personally am looking forward to the upcoming changes to how we vote on the creation space. (Can't remember where I read about them, perhaps the Spoiler Zone? So I won't go into too much detail) as quite often a lot of the coats are not to my taste. I prefer coats that look like real horses - so please, if anyone has any to recommend feel free! Currently I'm breeding Canadians, Thoroughbreds and Hanoverians, but hoping to expand into Welshes soon when I can get my hands on a good one as I absolutely adore some of the pony coats on this game default smiley (7)

I know! He's by far my favourite. Was so glad to finally get one. I love the realistic ones as well.

I really like this one of mine which I have had for a while now, but I only thought about moving the horse and changing it's size today, and I think it looks a lot better now.

anybody know a good GA coat that would fit here? I thought the background matched really well with the black pegasus already but if there is another good coat out there I would love it (preferably very realistic)
