Passes are like the backbone of Howrse, They can get you a ton of things, such as aging points, more money, special things for your EC like scarcrows, or Greenhouses, and all the black market items. there's only one catch, you have to buy them with reak life money. ya, it sucks but again you have to thing, howrse needs money to run the site and features, how would they get it, well the answer is 1 advertising and 2 passes. The Geneus that came up was that was pretty smart, what could be better? pixelated items that you have to buy that will help you get really far in the game. Ok back to the main point of this page. Passes are pretty confusing, so here I will tell you how to get them and what to do with them.
Getting Passes:
*Buying them, you can either use a phone call, or use paypal. You have to have your parents permission of corse, and if you are an adult, good for you! (I can't buy them so i just have to deal. I probably when I start working this summer though)
* you can buy them on your 50th day on Howrse for 20% of your reserve and every 30 days after that. wich I acctually just did as I am typing this!
*When you have access to the Private sales you can sell a horse for passes.
*Surprises, sometimes Howrse has contests and such, sometimes they will give some out!
There are more ways of getting them like through golden apple coats, sponsership and some others.
What you can buy:
*you can Get all the things from the black market with Passes
*all things from the secret market (EC)
*extra money
*aging points
*sometimes you can getthings for contests (magic machine..etc)
other:
*you can get Karma for every 10 passes bought
