We’re still having problems with our email since switching to new servers. If you need to contact us about one of our games please use jade@design1online.com. Thank you for your patience at this time.
On a lighter note we have lots of brand new graphics on White Oak Stables with many more to come. Here’s a look at some of them. Trot on over to whiteoakstables.net and check it out.
All this week we’re converting all of our games over to our brand new servers. These servers are about 300% faster than what we’ve been using before and that should make all of our members very happy campers. There’s also a brand new layout for the homepage of White Oak Stables. Enjoy!
The new sketches for Quarter Horses are here. We expect they will be available by the end of the month in solid colors and with the new paint markings. Click on the picture for a closer look.
Breed Fun Fact!
Do you know how the Quarter Horse got it’s name? These hearty horses are known for being exceptionally fast sprinters at a quarter of a mile winning them the Quarter Horse name.
Quarter Horses are often used in Western events because of their sturdy body, long lasting endurance, and turning abilities. As a result they’re often associated with Cowboys from the American Old West.
Today design1online.com officially licensed SmartFoxServer for Whoa-Horsie.com. Using the same technology that’s running on popular sites like Club Penguin, YoVille and Atlantis, now gives Whoa-Horsie the speed and scalability necessary in the near future.
New horse images are up for Thoroughbreds on White Oak Stables for both adult and foal horses. Problems with horse images not aging and training problems in the racing register have also been fixed. We’re expecting to have Quarter Horse images and Arabian images up by next month. Markings for all the new horse images are still in the works. Please stay tuned!
Today the new horse pictures and dynamic colors made their debut appearance on White Oak Stable’s English register. Members can now breed over 56 different colors or create their own. Future plans for the new pictures include breed specificity, markings, different colored manes/tails/hooves and more interesting poses.

White Oak Stables is in for a real treat! New features recently finished or currently underway include the following:
The new layout for whoa-horsie.com (WH) is finally up! It features an authentic “western” look and feel and a host of brand new graphics to go along with it. Currently we don’t have a release date for WH but it it still expected to open this year. Twenty-five invitation keys will be sent out to active members of other D1O games. Each member will have the chance to invite up to five friends to play with them. This will limit most of the members to people who are really interested in playing!
