Our other BC for our 20th anniversary is the race horse. I know we have a lot of racing fans in the game so I am please to present you with this speedy BC. The race horse BC is already live in the game. This BC is available to everyone with a BC subscription, or can be unlocked for five diamond tokens. (Unlock Additional BCs page)

A racing themed tack pack will also be out in the next few days.

The Straight Set Mane tack pack has also been updated to include the new Race Horse manes and tails. The price has been increased to reflect the increased size of the pack.

Happy 20th Anniversary HorseGeneticsGame.com!


This year's theme is On the Move!

Why "On the Move"? Well after 20 years of being locked to a browser I am proud to announce that we have been working for months on an app version of the game. This will not be a stand alone app, it will still be the same website but you will be able to open it and play the game on mobile devices like an app.

Our wonderful Haystack has been working like mad on this project and we are so excited to share it with you. We expect to have it out for you to trial in the next few days.

In addition to the app I sat down and took a look at the weekly pay. Those numbers were set decades ago and it was time for a big old cost of living increase.

Free accounts went from 5,000 hbs per week to 50,000 hbs.
Basic Upgrades went from 12,500 hbs per week to 125,000 hbs.
Premium Upgrades went from 25,000 hbs per week to 250,000 hbs.
These changes will appear the next time you get your weekly pay.

Random Acts of Giving


RAoG is back again. Remember you do not need to post a wishlist to give and you can add or a remove a wishlist at any point during the month of June. It is not too late to qualify if you want to join in.


20th Anniversary Puzzle Gene


In honor of our puzzle piece logo and our 20th, I have created what I expect to be the final phantom gene I ever put out.
image
Phantom Puzzle is $6.10 per copy and and available now thorough the end of June.


Galloping Sales and RGS


All RGS genes are available through the end of June.
Reminder this does not include ice or phantom genes beside puzzle and diamond sparkle. Those are not part of the normal RGS.

Galloping sales are also active. Most things in our upgrade shop will be available for 25% off, but the sales are constantly changing. Check frequently to grab the items you are looking to stock up on.


2 New Breed Characteristics + tack!


Jenx and I have created two new BCs to fit with our "on the move" theme.

image
The show jumper BC is already live in the game. We have also released a build your own jumps tack pack.
The Show Jumper is available to everyone with a BC subscription, or can be unlocked for five diamond tokens. (Unlock Additional BCs page) The Just Jumps tack pack can be unlocked in the Tack Pack Manager.

For more info on this BC check thread titled "Introducing the brand new Show Jumper BC - 20th Anniversary Festival" in announcements.

The second new BC for this month with be the Racehorse. Unlike the current thoroughbred BC this one will be in full gallop and will include a racing livery tack pack. I look forward to have example images for you probably later today.

Thank You



I launched this website as a wet behind the ears 20 year old who barely knew what they were doing. I can confidently say that at this point I have SOME idea what I am doing. This is my life's work, and I hope to never stop learning and improving this game.

Thank you to everyone who was patient when I made mistakes. Thank you to everyone who stuck with me during my long term illness. Thank you to all of you who have been kind and supportive. Thank you to all of you who have financially supported a queer women owned small family business. Thank you to all of you who feed my family and pay my bills. I owe my livelihood to you.

Creating this game with all of you has been one of the most wonderful, frustrating, enriching and humbling endeavors of my life. I have spent half my life with all of you and it has been a honor to create your horse genetics game.

I can't look into the future and know if I will still be making this game in another 20 years, but what a truly amazing legacy that would be.

With an overwhelming outpouring of love and gratitude,
Hugs and carrots,
Ammit, and the entire HGG family.

  • An icon on your home screen or pinned to your taskbar, just for HGG!
  • A dedicated process just for the game! No more getting lost among the tabs.
  • A more pared down, minimal version of your chosen browser’s UI.
  • You can still use all your favorite browser extensions and settings.
  • Other features, depending on your browser of choice. For instance, Edge makes it easy to pin HGG to your start menu.

I’ve also been spending time improving the mobile version of HGG, which applies to both mobile browsers and the app. Check out the changelog for all the details.

To install the app, you can click the “Install HGG as an App” button that will show up at the bottom of the navigation menu, and follow the prompts.

The app is available on most major browsers, apart from Firefox. Safari and iOS-based browsers require a few extra steps, which the prompts helpfully explain.

Note that each server has its own app. For instance, installing from Bluegrass gives you an icon labeled "HGG - Bluegrass."

This feature is brand new, so we're expecting some rough edges. Please try it out, let us know what you think, and report any issues you find in this thread.

Let’s Play HorseGeneticsGame - a follow along guide to building an account from scratch.

I created a brand new account on May 28, 2025 called RedRiverRanch(#61320) on the Forest server. With this account I am going to extensively document everything I do every month so you can see the strategies I am using to build up the account. I hope people find this a helpful resource. As we go along if you have any questions about what I am doing or why please ask. This account is an open book.


Rules:
RedRiverRanch is a 100% normal account. It receives no outside funding or assistance, and has no access to anything any other normal member does not have. I only have my knowledge of the game.


Normal members can buy things for USD but I am doing a “no spend” challenge with this account to show how it can be done. I can trade hbs for USD items at a rate of 200k hbs to 1 USD. I will do this trade by destroying the hbs, that way no members have to send me actual money to support this account.


No premium upgrade until December. First, not everyone has access to premium so I want to show how it can be done without it, and secondly playing on basic allows me to spot bugs I would not normally see.

All stallions on this account will be available to the public each season.

Any foals born on this account will be entered into their respective era leaderboards. I want to show everyone real world example strats for getting on the leaderboards. That said this account will not enter any foals in any color clubs. This account will have some limited futurity participation for example purposes but I won’t be focusing heavily on them.

Mastery Goals
1) Build a super barn, earning 1 million hbs a day in bonus
2) Have ten 1000 stall barns
3) Have 2500 horses with a PT of 14+
4) Have a hall of fame breed

]]> Introducing the brand new Show Jumper BC - 20th Anniversary Festival https://mail.mesa.huntandjump.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/10828/introducing-the-brand-new-show-jumper-bc-20th-anniversary-festival Sat, 23 May 2026 22:56:24 -0700 Ammit 10828@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions

For 20 years now this game has featured hunters and jumpers and for the first time your horse can actually jump!

June is our anniversary month and we are kicking off our 20th Anniversary Summer festival a week early with this brand new BC.

image
Even the foal version is giving a little hop, as foals sometimes do.

image
Are you more into hunters? Our artist Jenx was kind enough to create an alternative braided tail for those who prefer a more formal look. This can be found in the "Manes and Tails: Balanced" tack pack.

image
The show jumper mane and tails work really well with the other "balanced" neck shape BCs. Namely the Ranch Horse, East Bulgarian, Irish Draught, and Percheron, but it will work for some other BCs as well. To reflect the increase in the number of items the "Manes and Tails: Balanced" has increased in price.


Looking for the fences? We got you! A build your own jumps tack pack will be landing next week.

I fixed that bug, and if you are one of the two people who voted that horse as a loss because of the broken image, your vote has been deleted. You can vote an extra time in this derby and will get an extra 5k for the new vote.

As a general note the derby is set up so things like foals ageing up or horses dyeing during rollover is not something you need to worry about. The image that is voted on is saved at the time of your entry, as is the owner of the horse. Ageing up or death has no impact on your entry, even if the horse is sold back to the game and deleted completely (aside from a missing name message). ]]> Splash M Chocolate Pangare Plus Phantom Roses Phantom Bouquet Recessive Cream Harlequin Now For Sale https://mail.mesa.huntandjump.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/10761/splash-m-chocolate-pangare-plus-phantom-roses-phantom-bouquet-recessive-cream-harlequin-now-for-sale Fri, 01 May 2026 01:30:01 -0700 Ammit 10761@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions Splash M

You can now find the "Dress-Up Derby" link under my stable.

How to Enter
Open the "Dress-Up Derby" page and select Enter the Derby, under navigation and follow the instructions there.

Every Sunday a new theme will be announced. You will then have through Saturday night to decorate one horse up in a way that most creatively expresses that theme. On Sunday voting for that theme will begin. Voting will last again through Saturday with the winners announced on Sunday.

That means every Dress-Up Derby lasts 2 weeks in total.

How to Vote
A new vote will open each week. You will be allowed to vote up to 10 times and will be paid 10,000 every time you vote.

Voting is a versus competition. You will be shown two random entries and must pick between them. Every time you vote you will be shown two new random entries to pick from. The horse picked the most time among all votes will be the winner.

How to Win
Most derbies will award a large number of gene mod tokens to the first, second and third place winners. Our very first one is instead awarding a total of 40 diamond tokens between the first second and third place finishers.

Winners will have a cool down period before they are allowed to enter another derby to make sure multiple players have a chance to win prizes.


The theme for our very first derby is BIRTHDAY PARTY, in celebration of Ammit's 40th birthday. Entries are already open and I can't wait to see what wonderful creations you come up with. ]]> Kit Promoter 2 Dun Factor Promoter One Phantom Muddy Puddles Gray Reduction Platinum Rainbow Riot 2 Void Now For Sale https://mail.mesa.huntandjump.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/10729/kit-promoter-2-dun-factor-promoter-one-phantom-muddy-puddles-gray-reduction-platinum-rainbow-riot-2-void-now-for-sale Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:30:01 -0700 Ammit 10729@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions Kit Promoter 2

For those unaware the most expensive part of running this game is the image generation. It's incredibly complex and expensive to keep a server farm running 24/7 365. For a while we had to disable images generating in the background. Because of a combination of optimization improvements by Haystack, the introduction of ads for free accounts, and wonderful support by our members we can now afford to get background image generation running again.

We have been slowly ramping up the image generation for several days now and everything looks stable and solid so we are ready to fully announce it now.

Here is our generation order of priority:
Two-year-olds owned by Premium+BC subscribers
Pasture foals owned by Premium+BC subscribers
Two-year-olds owned by Premium subscribers
Bulk tack updates for Premium+BC subscribers**
Bulk tack updates for Premium subscribers**


A Premium+BC subscriber is any member who has a premium subscription and a BC subscription, including the one month versions of these. A Premium subscriber is someone who has a premium subscription but not a BC subscription, including the one month versions of these.

Please note that only Premium+BC subscribers get auto generated pasture foals. Most pasture foals are never looked at. There is no reason for us to generate an image for them and then generate a second image when they get there adult image the following month. Because of that we are only double generating those images as a thank you to our Premium+BC subscribers.

We also are not automatically processing any image gen triggers based on age (other than age 2) or time (older than 3 months). We only want to pay for that image generation if someone actually cares about the image. If you want to force a barn to update it's images you will be able to do a bulk tack update (even if no tack changes) to force update them.

**Bulk tack updates are not currently running, but we expect these to also be live in about a week. ]]> Congratulations to all of our year 72 Stallion Futurity champions. https://mail.mesa.huntandjump.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/10671/congratulations-to-all-of-our-year-72-stallion-futurity-champions- Sat, 28 Mar 2026 06:05:01 -0700 Ammit 10671@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions HuntAndJump.com would like to congratulate all of our year 72 Stallion Futurity champions.]]> Congratulations(?) to all of our year 72 Backwards Breeder club champions. https://mail.mesa.huntandjump.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/10670/congratulations-to-all-of-our-year-72-backwards-breeder-club-champions- Sat, 28 Mar 2026 06:01:02 -0700 Ammit 10670@/forum/index.php?p=/discussions HuntAndJump.com would like to extend dubious congratulations all of our year 72 backward breeder club champions.
