The following may be a way to continue playing HI2 and HI1 past the removal of Flash support from browsers at the end of 2020.
Please note! Anyone who had an account on HI1 with a similar username and password as HI2, should change their password ASAP. We are sorry for this trouble, but some folks had nothing better to do than cause havoc. We are assuming the login/password info on HI1 will not be secure.
Thanks to everyone that participated in the 2020 Fan Art Contest.
To celebrate our One Year Anniversary for HI3 and give folks a fun distraction, let's have an art contest! Devs will select winners based on several different criteria, from most original, to happy feeling, etc. So selection will be slightly random but will favor effort and creativity.
Votes have been tallied. Thanks to those who participated. Your in-game donations have now determined our real-world donations. Based upon both games' wishes we're giving $1,500 to Doctors Without Borders, $500 to World Wildlife Fund and $500 to the Union of Concerned Scientists. Thanks to your continued interest and support of Horse Isle!
In just a couple days we will total the in-game donations to determine which charities and how much interest there is in the various donation options. So, donate quickly if you want to influence the real-world donations!
Happy summer to those in the northern hemisphere!
In a few days we will remove the HI3 new account protections on existing HI1 & 2 playernames. Please be sure you have registered an account even if you are not playing yet, but would like to reserve your account. (Mac users, etc)

October's game update awaits checking out!
Horse Isle 1 went live 10 years ago today! HI2, 7 years ago! Thanks for your long lived enthusiasm for this unique community and creation! We have added a few new things, and a few tweaks to slightly improve the game.
Some game tweaks and additions to spread around the isles!
Due to abuse by some players, we have had to add a couple restrictions. One of these is that you are currently only allowed to adopt a max of two horses from the livery each day. This number can be easily changed in the future.
Happy New Year! Hopefully it's starting out well for everyone.

A couple little new things. Hopefully a little something for everyone.
Winter is coming! But not yet.
Welcome to a nice proper game update everyone! We hope you Northern Hemispherites are enjoying summer!
We have been trying to get a new HI2 breed for a very long time. Happy to finally be able to bring one in! We also will try to get them out more regularly again now!
A tiny update to mark the anniversary of the Horse Isle games. Just a couple minor things. Hope you all have a good day!
We know it's been a while since the last update! Between working on some HI1 updates and our main horse artist not being able to work temporarily, the content updates have been delayed. We will continue to try to get more content asap. Thanks for your patience! We have not forgotten about you :)
The bug update a couple days ago introduced something else we had been working on that it sounds like some of you have found!
We are doing a reset to fix a bug that has started causing problems for some longtime players. It was breaking quests for those players so was crucial to get the reset done even though we don't really have any new content.
The end of the year snuck up on us, but we've gone over the votes for last year. Life Cycle donated $383 million and Eternal donated $3.228 billion! Between the two servers, the top ranking charities were World Wildlife Fun and Doctors Without Borders. Because of this, Horse Isle has donated $2000 to each charity!
We are working on a fun game update. It will add a bit of occasional adventure to the monotony of boat travel around HI2!
Sorry for the lack of updates. Miranda has been working basically seven days a week since August doing research on raptors during the fall migration here in the northern US. The season is winding down, so she should have a bit more time and will be able to get back to adding some content. Thank you for your patience!
New Breed: Anglo Arabians are now roaming the isles. Hopefully those in the northern hemisphere are enjoying some warmer weather and I know many are getting out of school! Here's a little update.
New Breed: Swedish Warmblood can be found wandering the isles now.
New Breed: Budyonny can be found wandering the isles now.
This is an announcement that Horse Isle's Composer, Joe Schwebke, has taken it upon himself to remaster all of the Horse Isle Music. He is planning on producing an HI1, HI2 Vol 1, and HI2 Vol 2 album.
Hopefully everyone had a great holiday season and you're now looking forward to the new year! Here's an update to start it off.
Happy New Years!
in roughly 24 hours we will total the in-game donations to determine which charities and how much interest there is in the various donation options. So, donate quick if you want to influence the real-world donations tomorrow!
Whew! We've been trying to get this update out sooner. Personally, Miranda and I have been busy working on helping to start a local MakerSpace in our town. They are fun, collaborative workshops with tools and tech for members to use. You should definitely see if you have one in your own home town. They are a lot of fun. We mean to spend more time and effort on Horse Isle's continued development ASAP. Thanks for your patience!
The Server Host is going to work on HI1 Server for a bit.
A late, early fall update.
This is an announcement that Horse Isle's Composer, Joe Schwebke, has taken it upon himself to remaster all of the Horse Isle Music. He is planning on producing an HI1, HI2 Vol 1, and HI2 Vol 2 album.
A simple summer update:
The first three players on LifeCycle to have and hold the three distinct critters were:
Welcome to the newest additions as of today:
The first three players on LifeCycle to have and hold the three distinct critters were:
The challenge to find the three different critters of unknown origin wandering Horse Isle is still open. The first 3 players on each server to collect all 3 and message support with subject: "I have all three critters" (and then retain them until we verify and judge winners) will get a Super Horse Token.
Happy Birthday Horse Isle! Hi1 is 7 years old! Eternal 4, and LifeCycle 2.5!
See below for results of the horse picture contest, along with a Game Update!
We are no longer taking photo submissions. Thank you so much for all the photos sent in. Once we've had time to sort through them and choose which will work, we'll post the results here.
Update: We're receiving quite a few photos. We'll keep accepting photos for until the morning of the 19th (approximately another 36 hours). Thanks for all the submissions!
UPDATE (2pm): Appears to all be working fine now..
Update: Quick reset so that Persephone's Cornucopia will now work as promised.
Update: Short sales now adjust your horse count correctly.
Votes have been tallied. Thanks to those who participated. Your in-game donations have now determined our real-world donations. Based upon both games' wishes we're giving $2,000 to Doctors Without Borders, and another $2,000 to WWF. So you're both helping the people of the Philippines recover and keeping an eye on the polar bears! Thanks to your continued interest and support of Horse Isle!
We will tally up the HI2 Donations soon! (in the next couple days) For any one that wants a say in where the Horse Isle Donations go this year, please be sure to contribute at city hall charity donations ASAP!
Hey all,
We're in the midst of the holiday season! Everyone buckle up!
We woke up to the sky falling for us! (First snow of the season, yikes!)
Fall it is already! Too soon!
Just a few bug fixes and a couple new things for this reset!
We hope you enjoy the latest changes and additions to Horse Isle!
Fixed the following issues with Golden Player System:
The following should be a nice big economy boost and fun competition system. We're taking the Super Player system, and converting it to a Golden Player system with much more point and benefit. Changes detailed below with a couple additional updates!
We worked on adding some new features this month and some needed fixes. Hope you enjoy!
Wow, we received over 250 fan art submissions! It was very difficult to select through them, and we will not claim to have done it based on any exact science. We certainly left some wonderful art out. So, mostly we looked at each art submission based on a bit of chance, on uniqueness, on effort, and on whether it was Horse Isle specific. In any case, here are 68 creations that we selected and gave out free Horse Tokens for. But just know that we enjoyed each and every submission.
Thanks for all the wonderful fan art! We are not taking entries anymore. We will be taking some time over the next few days to choose which will be posted on the fan art page. We will do a new News posting once we have chosen.
We did this back in 2009 and 2011 and it went really well. We decided to hold another fan art competition this year to see if anyone has been doing Horse Isle related art recently.
Stopped the foal gender being added to mare history as well. A welcoming spring update. Hope you enjoy!
Apologies.
Welcome to February's Game Update! Brrr... Frozen pipes in our area of the world.. Hope yours is warmer!
We have been having increasing issues with Role Playing and Multiple Accounts. Please take some time to go over the Rules and Detailed Rules so you don't end up with violations or banned from the game.
Hello everyone!
The following lists all of the updates to Horse Isle this month.
Quick reset earlier was to fix club breeder bonus bug.
Happy Thanksgiving for you new-worlders. Welcome to this month's game additions:
This update took longer than it should have, but unfortunately the celestial lining up of a handful of planetary bodies induced electrical perturbations into the network stream which... meh.. Actually, no excuses :)
Some of you are back to school now, good luck & work hard!
We continue to have problems with players having more than one account. The inability for players without a subscription to be able to trade has made it much harder for players to cheat using these accounts, however, it is still taking up a large amount of our time. Time that should be spent elsewhere.
Quick update this morning to fix a couple of bugs:
The following lists what's included with today's game update:
LifeCycle was down for a bit, but is back up and running.
UPDATE: We have just completed giving everyone their missing tokens from the last 24 hours. If anyone from yesterday or this morning has not yet received a purchased token on LifeCycle as of now, please contact us via HELP.
Hello all! We have made a few changes and additions to the game. We hope you enjoy them.
There were a few annoying bugs left roaming around the last update, So we decided to get a minor update done. The following are changes:
Welcome to summer all! (Northern Hemispherians at least)
HI2 has been live for 2 years now! HI1, 5 years! We thank all of you for your continued enthusiasm over our unique horse worlds. We would not be here without your support.
Here are the latest changes and additions.
This update includes many bug fixes and minor improvements.
There has been a lot of confusion lately over what types of ads are allowed. Since classified ads not only get more expensive as more are posted, but also everyone is subjected to them, ads that are not at all related to the game are no longer allowed. This means random messages sent via the classified ad system will be considered spam and should be rejected. Also, remember that all rules apply to the classified ads. This means they must remain all age appropriate and no using the classified ad system to get around another player muting you.
This update has a lot of tweaks and additions. We hope you enjoy.
Just a note to all. We have added a section under "Stuck" in the Detailed Rules. Please take some time to go over this.
Added the following top lists:
Decimal Points:
UPDATE: I have posted the breeding tables for those that are interested now. They are found below the Terms and Conditions at the bottom of each page. I will start a thread under Game titled: Breeding Table for any related discussion.
Update: Note- all stud fees will have to be reset by ranch owners.
Welcome 2012!
Welcome everyone! We have just finished our 3rd full day of LifeCycle Server. Already 1200 mares are pregnant! Just so you know, I found and fixed a bug where the pregnancy timers were being under reported as 250's when they should have said 310's So those have increased a bit now.
We are adding a new HI2 Server. This server will be starting from scratch and will include major game-play tweaks that allow for horse aging, breeding, and death. We will refer to the new server as HI2:LifeCycle, while the existing one will be named HI2:Eternal.
