Recently players have found a bug to do with the Midsummer quests that boasts your riding stats. It can boost it up as far as you want but it is a bug. Using bugs is against Star Stable policy and can get you banned. I have seen people getting 44 seconds on Steve's race, which isn't fair on the real high score owners.
Even just using the bug is bad enough as it causing other players to lag badly, making playing impossible for them to play, which isn't fair. I get that people like to do things like this and if you really have to 'try it out' then please head to somewhere remote and do it there. But it will still cause lag. I, personally, can't wait for the cheat to be stopped and the scores removed. I, however, am more upset that some members of FR decided to do the bug themselves meaning that they have a good chance of being banned. Thank you SSO team for noticing this.

I've been waiting a long time for this to come back! It's been bugging me as I didn't get admired with them last time they were here, but I can try this time. Due to some technical issues there will be a few blog posts uploaded a bit later then normal, sorry. But anyway let's go down to the beach! As normal there is so many people that I can hardly click to start the quests. I could do all those things, but I'm ready and waiting for the beach party! I'll tell you what, I'll put out some towels, take in the clean ones and fold them. Is that better? Umm that sounds... nice? Well I'll give it a try... I guess... That was horrible, but how to tell him? Best to head to the guard and collect some building stuff before he notices. There we are! Okay that one isn't as bad, but that isn't saying much. I think I should make one with soda and fruit. I'll wash and cut the fruit before shaking it with ice and soda, there, done! Okay we better start getting some money, I know, selling beach balls. Remember not all the tourists want a beach ball. The one by the rose covered seats, lower store hut and upper store hut near the championships all want one. Finally thing to do is the race. Remember this will go soon so get your reputation while you can!
Clues in the title, it’s time to talk about the club Frosty Roses. I joined FR on the day it was created, merely by chance that I was at Steve’s paddock that night. For the last year and a 1/4 they have been my family and I am so proud of them. At the start I was just another member, but in the first 3 weeks I made it as one of the first five experienced riders. Over the next few months I worked my way up to RI, but if I’m honest it didn’t change much about my role in the club. I wasn’t a born leader, in fact my first few attempts ended badly. FR had drama ect and disbanded many times. In early January when they came back, I made it my pledge to not let FR disband again. Alas, it did. But this time, when it came back, leader elections would take place. I must admit, I believed that people would vote for their friends rather then me. The result surprised me so much, and yet I was so happy that I could stop FR from ever going again. So far I have succeeded and I’m glad to say FR is still here. However, over time FR has become inactive. It isn’t anyone’s fault but people who joined a year ago, might of been active then, but they aren’t now. These people log on once every 1/2 weeks, which means removal is hard. Also they are part of the family. Fortunately, recently V (Ava Northstar) has cleared up some of those members and some we need to talk to to try and get them to come on more. This amount of spaces could mean only one thing - open event. The event started at GHV, I think we never got a photo with us all in as there was so many of us! We all lined up in two lines - FR and non FR. We started to hack up to the swamp and we spent the next half an hour getting people into groups and lining them up ready to race. The race was interesting and hard to organise. But I’m glad that I could prove to myself that I could. We then hacked for a BBQ at GHV stable where we sat and closed of the event. All this while FR were talking on club about who should join FR out of the ten who turned up. It was a hard choice but in the end we had to go with Elizabeth, Van and Aria. I wish we could of added everyone but there we are! Photos to Ava Northstar
When I first started Instagram I found taking the perfect photo hard. But I have slowly started to improve and this is how I do it. First think about what you want to take a photo of, what do you want to write about. Consider looking at Instagram for some inspiration. Start to think about your photo. Where will it be, what will you wear? Will you lead your horse. Walk, canter, laugh, bow, rear, jump. It is endless. Once you have a rough plan in your head, go to your wardrobe and plan out an outfit. Time to go and take your photo. But wait! Is it too dark? If so head to the Fashion Barn in Silverglade and simply enter to take the light levels back to what it was like when you logged on. It's time to pose, ignore plays, turn interface off and go go go! Here are the three I've taken. You will see them either already up or soon to be up with @allarria.sso
So this here is my training route. I’ve recently finished training so I have no need for it but here is my route. It takes me about two hours to do but I do it in blocks.
First I start at the Equestrian Centre and then I go Marleys, Steves, Moorland, Fort Pinta, South Hoof, Epona, Greendale, Jarlaheim, Paddock Island, Jorvik Stable. I then have a rest before doing Firgrove, Valedale, Mill, Observatory, and Equestrian Centre. Finally I do the Riding Hall and Golden Hills Valley. I’ve found that doing it in blocks makes it easier as it seems a lot more manageable. On a hard day I might stop at South Hoof but not often. It takes 5 days to train a horse to level 15 if you follow that route (or do every race). But what do I wear? Well I’ve gone for an outfit that has good Swiftness and Riding but is also a nice thing to wear everyday. As through the training periods I will wear that and only that throughout the day. Rider: Tourist T-Shirt - From a quest - Free - Plus 8 riding, 1 jump, 4 command Marleys's Helmet - From a quest - free - riding 4, jump 3 Any gloves with 4 in riding (I change every time) Black jeans - Silverglade Village “The Castle” - 96 Star Coins - riding 5, jump 1 (These are the only pants in the game with riding 5) Dancing Shoes - Silverglade Equestrian Centre “The Wine Cellar” - 13 Star Coins - Riding 4, Jump 4 Horse: Black Sports Saddle - Jorvik Mall - 67 Star Coins - 3 speed, 2 agility Green Winter Bridle - From a quest - Free - 3 speed Large Snow blanket - Fort Pinta Gear - 73 Star Coins - 3 speed, 1 discipline Horse shoes from Golden Hills Valley opening quest The key to good fun training is well, making it fun. I like to set myself challenges, train with friends or listen to music. All of these help training become more enjoyable. Of course, you can always just bribe your sister with sweets. Either way works! The two girls stood at the edge of the rig. Their hair, so different in colour, blew out behind them. The seas were dark and unforgiving. The waves crashed; the heavens clashed. Air, wind, rain, sea. A percussion like no other.
Slowly one girl turned her head towards the other. “They’re late” she said. “Yes” the other agreed “ Spoaks and his men should be punished”. “Great minds think alive” Suddenly, a plane revealed it’s self of the platform - cloaking device. The 4 men disembarked and 3 strode to the main building. “You’re late” The first girl said, her tongue as sharp as her features. “I’m sorry Ma’am. We were delayed due to the storm” “Do you have the cargo?” At that a limp form was brought out of the plane. A horse. A horse in a silvery light. The second girl started. She walked forward as if to touch this strange arrival. But the first girl gave her a look and she lowered her hand, mumbling a “sorry” to her feet. “Come on let’s go and eat.” They both hurried inside. As the turned the corner leading to the dinning hall, the second girl slipped. She fell in slow motion. Before she hit the ground she glowed - silver. She rose up again and landed clean on the slippy metal. The first girl was livid. Angry. She slapped the second girl around the face saying “Don’t ever use that dirt again - Kitty”. There was a time where every week I'd get 18 views and I'd be so very proud of that. Now I'm getting 400 views a week and I'm so happy and grateful towards everyone who has looked at the blog at some point. I still don't know where all these people come from. I mean who reads this? I'm not the one giving all the views on 400 laptops, I swear. Just than you again. I don't care if no one looks at this blog but it's amazing knowing I have at least one reader.
About 3 months after I started Star Stable I asked on say chat for a club. I was answered by Denise Braveknight. He added me to Everwind Knights and my sisters and I loved it. We enjoyed the small but active club. Around February/ March we left Everwind Knights. The name was taken but Denise made a club called Silverglade Comets. My sisters and I had much fun in that club and I love it still. Silver glade Comets has gone but it built me so much as a person. Denise has left Star Stable but he said he still reads my blog. I’m not sure whether this is true but if it is: Denise, You were the first person on SSO besides my sisters who let me into a club. You are the second person I remember meeting on the game and you gave you the building blocks for being a leader in FR. Your clubs have taught me so much about myself and while I continue to learn and grow I want to say thank you. So thank you Denise, it shows that hard work pays off. These are some really old photos of a picnic we had together.
I'm sorry to say that all the people in this photo I am no longer in contact with. We have either fallen out or just lost contact. But you all built me as a person, and thank you. I'm having a throw back day, okay? At the moment you can’t do anything with you pets besides them sitting in a bag. And for an over priced 200 star coins? It isn’t really worth it if they just look nice. I think it would be great if we could carry the pets of our shoulders, take them out for walks, feed them and name them. It isn’t that I want to change the focus from horses to all animals, it’s that I want the animals to play a greater role. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could let them run around like the pigs, or sit on your shoulder like the seals? Star Stables can do the graphics all ready, and the code wouldn’t be that different. But they choose not to and I wish they did. Very few people will pay 200 sc for a pig who sits in a bag, which also costs money. Please Star Stable, let the animals roam free! “Fripp, I’m getting rather worried. I know she was upset but she doesn’t have anywhere else to go” Elizabeth pleaded.
“What you request of me is not possible. We can’t send a full scale mission after a young trainee. We all die in the end, what difference is it if it’s now, tomorrow or 100 years?” “It makes all the difference and you know it” Fripp’s eyes flashed, “I suggest you control your emotions Elizabeth.” “Fripp, she is, as you know, no normal trainee. There is something I can’t place, that will make her stronger, and with strength comes desire. And we know who desires most,” Avalon said, speaking carefully. Fripp considered this and then said: “We give her 24 hours, no less, before we look.” Both Elizabeth and Avalon left to confront the 3 soul riders sitting on the grass by the bubbling river. As they approached the other trainees gathered, ready to listen. “In 24 hours we will begin to look for Kitty” Elizabeth said. Ashley, Luna and Clary exchanged looks. “Will she come back?” asked Luna. “Will you force her to train with us?” “Can you god darn get on with it” For you see, the trainees hadn’t been told about Kitty. All they knew was that after Clary’s accident she’d broken down and hadn’t been joining in lessons, and now she’d run away. Or so it looked. “Girls listen, this isn’t Kitty’s fault” Elizabeth pleaded. Ashley and Clary got up and walked off, Luna murmured a quick sorry before joining them. “I thought I’d be her friend” Clary said, “she didn’t visit me once. Just stayed in her room”. “She just ignored me and wouldn’t speak. If she comes back I heard one of them talking that she’ll have to under go a test. I think it will make her work, whatever it is, I hope it hurts” Ashley cried. Luna looked horrified, but again didn’t speak. If only they knew what was happening to the child. As you may, or may not, know, every year SSO releases a major new area. People have, of course, been wondering about where it will be this year. In about two year they'll have to expand the map, but for now there's two area's ready to be unlocked. The one above Everwind Fields and Golden Hills, and the one to the East of Firgrove. Both have started being built, both have possible routes in and both are on the map. So until now it looked like it could be either one.
But now we see that the area to the East of Firgrove has a name. Firfall. So what do we know about Firfall so far?
Yes, three basic facts but for June that isn't too bad. We normally hear about the new area for the first time about 2 months before it's release, so we'll have a while yet. However, I do hope that it is Firfall as I think it could be an amazing place to have in game! I must admit I saw neither of these things coming up, let alone in the same update. Well, expected or not, they're both on Star Stable! So Valedale has been give a new look. I'm not sure about it, if I'm honest. The new Valedale has a modern look but the old one looked, well, old. Old and full of magic. I thought this gave a really nice effect to the background of Valedale and it made everything, the quests ect, pull together nicely. But I'm glad that SSO kept some of the old feel to it with the new, beautiful, roses. I love the roses so much! I feel like it's nice that each place in game has a flower to represent it. I do like Avalon's house as before it looked like all the other houses and didn't show the magical man behind the walls. I think this gives Avalon more character then just a wise old druid, because you can start to see his style, which is normally hidden under his robe. I feel that Elizabeth's house looks to dark and druidy for the kind women living there. Her dress doesn't match it like it used to, and I do miss that. The new stable and stable area fits in better with the rest of the village, rather then just seeming placed. I also love the new small cottages and I feel that they match the village. Oink, oink. Pigs are coming to Jovik, but for this week only! So hurry! I do love these pigs. My favorite is the spotty one, but I think it is over the top in cost (expect blog post about that soon), so I think I'll by the dark one and call her Pepper. Pepper Pig! I have enough for the pink one but I feel it is too ordenary for my home stable.
I like the fact they've brought out new animals, however, I think that they would be here for more then a week as I know some people wanted to save up for the spotty one and now can't as that'll take more then a week. This is the second time in two weeks they've done this and I think it's to make more updates for the future when the pigs return. What I was really looking for was quests but hey, this will do. Another post to expect (probably over the week end) about what you can do with your pets, as for 199 sc you should be able to do more then have them in a saddle bag. Bye for now! The hard iron of chins cut into my already battered and bruised skin. I knew who these people were, the dark riders, our enemies. I let out one desperate sob into the darkness. One so full of sadness that it could last a full lifetime.
Did I have a full lifetime? What did they want with me? What could I of done? Was it a question of the wrong places at the wrong time, or was it something deeper, darker. Could they know about the evil inside me? Question after question, but no answers. Just more pain, the constant bite of metal, the deep burning from where they’re magically tied me. A jolt. And then light. A light so bright, so filling that it dazzled me for a full ten seconds. Squinting while my eyes adjusted, I made out five, six, seven men. 5 guards and three others. One man could only be one person - the leader. Out of the two others, one was a child. A girl with raven hair and dark black eyes. The last was a women, she looked just like the girl, but older, eviler. “So,” I say, scared into talking, “this is the cleaver part where you tell me your secret plan and then I save myself or get rescued and you fall to some sticky end in the dark pit you once crawled out of. For good always wins” The women let out a soft eerie laugh. “Good wins just as much, if not less, then bad. Only when good wins they tell everyone the tale, when bad wins we keep it to ourselves.” The man stood and thundered: “We will not be telling you our plans, Soul Rider. But I will tell you the past. We decided to create two girls, seeing what would happen if we mixed the powers of soul rider with the powers of dark rider. The idea was to take the extreme powers of soul rider and mix it with dark. But both babies, both girls, displayed signs of light. My Boss told me I was kill them, but I couldn’t. I’d spent my life working on these infants. I persuaded him to let you go to the mortals and for me to keep Natalia. But as she aged, she turned dark. You stayed mortal, until now. Maybe I will reveal the plan. You will work for us” “Never” I cried. “What Pa hasn’t mentioned is that in about 30 seconds you will fall asleep. You will awake totally obedient to myself, Ma and Pa. You will not remember your former self, your your friends,” the child spat the word “just us, because, in the dark, evil will prevail.” My head sank, my body sank and my mind gave up to this new one. With Summer coming here in North we are all looking for some summery outfits to wear. We're casting away the jumpers and coats for light shirts. But people will still wear pants. Yes of course some people continue with coats and jumpers, but shirts are more widely worn. So why don't people wear shorts, dresses and to a point skirts? Well if I am to put it plainly they look bad.
The dresses are A) all long sleeved, this means that they don't feel summery anyway. Also the skirts on the dresses puff out, meaning they don't look that nice. The final complaint about dresses is that you have to have a matching skirt to wear under them or find some trousers that look like tights. To improve dresses it would be great if they were short sleeved and the wear tighter to the body. Also if the stopped about mid thigh instead of knee. I think it would be awesome if you could also buy jump suits (an attached shirt and shorts). If you could you would be able to put dresses and jump suits in a box for 'full body'. When you are wearing something 'full bodied' you wouldn't have to wear anything on the legs. Shorts aren't that short and they're actually really puffy, like the dresses. That's all that's wrong with them and it would be great if they were tighter fitting. I thought this update was coming! Star Stable mentioned it in their show, but I must admit I didn't expect them to have a 'normal' colour when they were in the cities. I must admit, it was clever to Star Stable to make this update to stop people getting annoyed at the winner. Also this way means some people can just have a beautiful little horse and others can have the magic ones. So let's go and have a look at the three horses and decide whether to buy one. This is a beautiful little horse, I do admit I'm getting fussy about the mane again! I think it's too dark at the tips and I'm not a fab of the gradient. Also with this breed you can see how symmetrical it is. This is quite annoying as, you course, real horse aren't symmetrical. But then again, real horses aren't blue! My final moan would be for the face to have more colour, but I do love the legs, I think they're beautiful 5.5/10 All the same moans at above apart from the mane, which I love. This angle doesn't capture the rest of the purple and it leaves it looking plain. The face seems way too 'clean', more so then the other one. No that much to say if I'm honest as it was all said above! 6.1/10 Meet the horse you need no leg warps for! The symmetrical body shape isn't as clear in this one, I also feel the dark blood-red mane matches this horse perfectly. I love his red eyes as well, it really brings it all together. My one complaint is that the black horse he turns into is quite plain, but I guess that's the point. I do wish the hooves were a bit brighter (yes two moans) but there we are. 8/10 I do wish the horses were faster but they're only 400 star coins so I suppose there had to be something. I decided to get the final one, Rayoas, aka Rayo. He'll be up on my horses pages soon. I think it is great that they let us all have the horses, I think it would be a bit unfair if only two people got them ever. Say they stopped playing - the horses would of been lost. But then again, it would of been special if you were the only two to have them so I guess it could of gone either way. We'll go and look at the clothes before we beguine to train. Nine summery clothing, I can't wait to try and make some of these into outfits! The shorts aren't as bad as always and I think on the middle right there might be a phone or something poking out the pocket! I also like the bottom right shoes and the bottom middle outfit. The top left shorts are cool but I don't see me making them into an outfit. All in all a wonderful update! Okay so I'm alive. I've been working on the blog all week, just not posting. Okay so let's do these quests! Ricky chips aren't good, you better eat salads in the future and other healthy things - high protein. Then you need to keep training for the districts! Ricky! It's today! Oh no, I'm not sure if you're ready. Well go and give it a good shot. Ricky's too nervous to sign up so I better do it. There's 4 competitors I think. The two girls are against each other and the two boys are against each other. The winners then have a final. It's the first to two points and you're out if you are knocked down. Okay let's see Nathalie. Yeah I'm sure he'll do well, let's go and talk to him. Ah, he seems a bit nervous, let's calm him down. Ricky you'll be fine, go on, go and win your first match. Go Ricky! You're through to the finals! Yay! Well done. Wait, who's this? Oh well she seems confident she'll win, but at least she wants to beat Drake. Come on Ricky, we can beat here. See you've won the first point! Nice try Ricky, but Jessica blocked it well. Ricky watch out! 1 - 1. Come on Ricky, just play how you feel is right! Go go go! Go Ricky! Wooh! Oh who's this?Drake and a 'buddy' who are going to beat Ricky? Ha Luke I'm not so sure about that! Well until next time.
