Good afternoon, everyone! It's hard to believe it, but we're already halfway through Y50! Trinities are behind us and juvenile series are just around the corner with the Fairs and Parades next week. As the Y50 breeding season wraps up, I have a couple announcements about breeding-related changes and more details about some other recent updates.

SIP Updates
The Stallion Incentive Program (SIP) has received a couple of updates which will be effective July Y50. First, AFP requirements for each level have been adjusted to better reflect current breeding trends. These changes are listed in the table on the SIP page of the Handbook. An 'average' AFP right now is about 33, and we want to be sure we're rewarding stallions who are meeting or exceeding that.

Additionally, SIP is now dynamic and can fluctuate over time based on AFP each year a stallion is tested. As you may have noticed already, you can view a stallion's current and highest SIP level on his Breeding Info page. Foal slots will only be awarded when a stallion improves to a level that exceeds his previous best SIP and will not be taken away if his SIP level declines. This change will improve the overall integrity of the SIP system, making it a more reliable (though still not foolproof) indicator of how a stallion is producing.

Bonus Foal Slots
Freshmen stallion now have a chance to earn bonus foal slots! At the start of July, all freshmen stallions (those who have no foals born yet) will receive foal slots based upon the number of outside mares they covered. They earn 1 foal slot per outside mare covered, up to a maximum of 5 bonus slots. This will not allow them to exceed the 30 slot maximum. Freshmen who have been bred this year will receive their bonus slots during the upcoming rollover.

Now for some more details about other recent updates~

Hide Mares
An option has been added to mare Breeding Info pages which will 'Hide' or 'Unhide' mares. When hidden, mares will not show up on Mare Services. This is a way to reduce clutter on Mare Services if you have certain mares you don't want to breed but also don't want to pasture. They will automatically be unhidden at the end of the year and can be unhidden any time before then by clicking the button. This has no impact on a mare's ability to do anything else and she can still be accessed from your Stable.

Racing / PR Updates
A few little updates and improvements have been added that impact racing and Performance Ratings. First, a bug was fixed a couple weeks ago that may result in slight PR decreases for some horses.

The significance of favorite distance has been decreased, which will result in less penalties (or less PR fluctuation overall) when racing away from favorite distance. This means that most horses will be fine racing at their full 'range', rather than focusing on favorite distance, and can prioritize racing at home.

The rate at which horses gain and lose Experience has been rebalanced. This should make it easier for young horses, and others struggling with Experience, to maintain Experience. Further adjustments will be made if needed.

Horses can no longer suffer random injuries in races. Injuries can only occur if they are caused by a controllable factor. Risk no longer contributes toward chances for major injuries unless it is high enough to trigger a racing note. All levels of Risk still contribute to minor injury chances.

Did someone say...super heroes?
Do you remember when you were doing the anniversary event and your sparkly little 2 year old seemed to develop...special powers? It's been awhile, so I'll forgive you if you forgot. But I just received some reports from Quirk E. Compass providing a little more intel on this new Gilt phenomenon. It's an interesting trait horses have - please don't confuse it with a mere marking!

Based on the latest data Quirk E.'s collected, we have concrete evidence of some of the benefits of these traits! Horses with Gilt hooves have a little extra propulsion and don't seem to be impacted by track bias. They also come out of races feeling less exhausted - which might show up in their Energy and Rest. Horses with Gilt eyes keep a keen gaze on their competitors and can easily adapt to any pace in a race. They're also great at analyzing their buddy's workout performance and adjust themselves to match - like a Mirror trait in reverse!

Of course Gilt is still new and much remains a mystery. Where does it come from? Who knows! Will we uncover more of its secrets through continued research? Possibly!

Odds & Ends
We've been working hard on a variety of quality of life (QoL) improvements as well as back-end things to keep FFH running as smoothly and build foundations for future updates. Here's a recap of some things you might have noticed and other things you might not have seen.

• A detailed Performance Ratings page was added to the Handbook.
• Feeding and Training was combined into a single Care page.
• Stable Profile pages have been updated and streamlined.
• Breed counts were included in the Stable Profile updates.
• Stallions can now use multiple Victor's Blades.
• Breeding Info pages have been updated to show offspring series wins relevant to breed.
• Breeding Info pages also now show a count of Peerless offspring.
• Stallion Breeding Info pages show AFP, Grade, and SIP history at the top of the page.
• Male Probability and Athleticism were added to Hypomate and breeding requests.
• Breeding Center shows a warning icon when stallions have low Condition.
• Hypomate buttons have been added to pedigrees for all horses.
• Hypomate buttons have been added to the 'Mares Due' lists in Mare Services.
• An icon to indicate a stallion is already requested was added to Genotype Search
• Condition and Energy show on the Exercise page for retired horses.
• Sooty now shows on Homozygous Cream horses.
• A third option for Frosting was added, along with updates to the original 2 Frosting options.
• A Quick View page is available for retired geldings.
• Custom jockeys can be renamed from the Jockey page.
• A button to select all horses was added to the Fill Stable page.
• Crafting requirements have been updated for Blossom Tea and Frozen Nectar.
• Made backend efficiency updates relating to the Goldblood breed.
• Made backend efficiency updates on the Inventory page.
• PayPal has been fixed to automatically add Pro Coins when purchased.
• The bug causing discrepancies between Birth Max and maxed stats was fixed.
• The bug causing horses to randomly max Rating at 10 was fixed.
• Many other bug fixes and little QoL requests!

Holy cow! That was a lot to chew but I love it! You're making me even more excited to breed when I can! And I think the SIP changes sound like they will be great for the game. I am super excited for more about the gilt to be revealed. Thanks for all the updates y'all do!

Wow! So many great changes and updates. I’m especially looking forward to seeing the effects of the updated SIP for stallions and the chance for freshman stallions to receive foal slots based on outside mares taken. A great incentive! So exciting to read about the effects of glit as well! Thank you for all the updates!

Wow!! Just wow! what an incredible list of fantastic updates! Im totally in love with the new Gilt eyes and hooves! I cant wait to see what all is "discovered" with those special items! All these updates and improvements make the game even more enjoyable than it already was! I dont know how you guys keep doing this behind the scenes for us! The updates with the care and feeding page is such a huge time saver, and the updates to the breeding pages are going to be very useful as I further my breeding programs in the game years to come. Thank you for all you do for us in game and still having time to join in with discussions and answer so many questions all of us players have!

There is obviously so much work happening consistently behind the scenes and it is really appreciated. All of these QoL updates are great, and I think the stallion SIP updates are awesome and the freshman foal slot bonuses are an excellent incentive. It's really great to see everything y'all have been working on, really the efforts that the admin/mod team go through to keep improving this game are beyond admirable. Thanks!

Honestly combining feeding and training into one page was more than enough for me, everything else on here is fantastic! Happy to hear more about the Gilt trait...and that we'll be learning more too. I can't wait to get some first snippets of info about the new breed too, whenever that happens!

I am new. Although I am a bit overwhelmed with the learning curve I am also extremely appreciative of the depth and challenge the game offers. I was particularly interested by the possibility of 'gilt' but am also glad for the loosening of some requirements like distance preference. I think this may give me the chance to have better performance in races and improve my ability to earn money. Really great game!

I love that there's so many updates - not just for the quality of life, but also to improve gameplay going forward for everyone. Thanks so much for all your hard work. I'm loving the gilt updates - would be interesting to see in the future when these horses have their own foals if it's possible to have both eyes and hooves affected.
