New FarmVille Winter Animal: Gypsy Horse

There had been talk for some time about the release of a Gypsy Horse in FarmVille, but after seeing leaked images of the horse, we weren't sure when exactly (if ever) the animal would actually be coming to the game.

In a rare non-Tuesday/Thursday update, however, Zynga has officially launched the Gypsy Horse in the game, as part of the current Winter Holiday limited edition item theme. For those that are simply amused by the name, know that the Gypsy Horse is an actual variety of horse - meaning that real-world horse lovers will probably be more than willing to purchase one of these beautiful animals for the game's asking price of 26 Farm Cash.

What's more, we have it on good authority that the Gypsy Horse will be able to produce a Gypsy Foal, if placed inside the Horse Stable and given the chance to breed.

The Gypsy Horse will be available for the next 26 days.

FarmVille Winter Holiday Buildings: Holiday PO & Winter Station

FarmVille's latest game update brought with it a new series of Winter Holiday items, now available in the game's store. In this release, we see the addition of two new buildings, both of which we brought you a Sneak Peek of just yesterday.

The buildings are the Holiday PO (Post Office) and the Winter Station. The Holiday PO is available for coins, but is quite expensive, at a price of 250,000 coins. For that splurge, you'll earn 2500 experience points as a reward. Meanwhile, the Winter Station is a nice train station building that will go lovely either with your already placed train tracks (that were released in the game a few weeks ago), or with an entire new, winter-themed train track that you can now construct via individual items purchased from the store. The Winter Station costs 20 Farm Cash to add to your farm.

Both of these items will be available in the game for the next 26 days, giving you plenty of time to get your farm completely into the Holiday spirit.
