Wild Horse Islands Autumn Event: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
The Autumn Event is Wild Horse Islands’ yearly fall celebration, a seasonal run that dresses the game’s islands in autumn colors and brings limited-time content for the stretch it’s live. It has become a fixture on the calendar for a game that keeps roughly about 6,200 riders online at any given moment and has drawn about 670,000,000 visits since launch.
Unlike the game’s steady stream of new horse breeds, the Autumn Event returns just once a year, arriving in early October and running on a set schedule when it does. Below you’ll find when it comes back, the exact start times across the world’s time zones, and what to expect when the season turns. We update this page as the schedule is confirmed.

How often the Autumn Event runs
The Autumn Event runs every ~371 days — an annual fixture that lines up with the real-world start of fall. The next one is scheduled for Friday, October 9 at 1 PM ET, and it has run 2 times so far.
When it goes live, the event opens across two start windows on the same Friday — 1:00 PM ET and 5:00 PM ET. The two slots exist so players around the world can each catch the launch at a reasonable local hour, instead of only whoever happens to be awake for a single US start. Here is how those two windows land across the major time zones:
| Region | 1:00 PM ET start | 5:00 PM ET start |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles (PT) | 10:00 AM | 2:00 PM |
| New York (ET) | 1:00 PM | 5:00 PM |
| London (UK) | 6:00 PM | 10:00 PM |
| Berlin / Paris | 7:00 PM | 11:00 PM |
| Mumbai (IST) | 10:30 PM | 2:30 AM (next day) |
| Tokyo (JST) | 2:00 AM (next day) | 6:00 AM (next day) |
| Sydney (AEDT) | 4:00 AM (next day) | 8:00 AM (next day) |
The 1:00 PM ET window favors the afternoon in the Americas and the evening in Europe, while the later 5:00 PM ET window pushes the start into the morning for players in Asia and Australia. The next start time and the usual windows are also shown on the card above.
What happens in the Autumn Event
The Autumn Event leans into the season: the islands take on a fall look, and the run typically layers in limited-time content to chase while it’s active. Because it’s a once-a-year window, anything tied to it tends to be time-limited, which is what pulls players back for the launch rather than catching it later on.
We break down exactly what each year’s event adds once it goes live, so check back around the start date for the current lineup.
Tips for catching it
- Pick whichever of the two Friday windows falls at a convenient hour for you — the table above shows both across the major regions.
- Set a reminder ahead of the start; anything limited-time is easiest to grab right as the event opens.
- If you miss it entirely, it isn’t gone for good — the Autumn Event comes back next year, though seasonal content can change from run to run.
How it fits the Wild Horse Islands calendar
The Autumn Event is one of the game’s calendar-driven moments rather than part of its regular content churn. Around it, Wild Horse Islands keeps a steady rollout of new breeds — upcoming additions include the Knabstrupper, Lusitano, and Black Forest Horse — alongside larger updates like Magical Forest Part 2. The Halloween Event follows close behind on the seasonal calendar, so autumn tends to be one of the busier stretches of the year for the game.
