New Stallions can now be found wandering around FarmVille that will allow you to get Foals from your Horse Stable!
Horse Stables:
Periodically, you will receive a pop-up informing you that a “Wandering Stallion” has appeared on your farm. This pop-up will allow you to post a feed to your wall. Ten of your Neighbors can click on this feed to give shelter to the Wandering Stallion.
Unlike other “Lonely” animals, the Wandering Stallion is an event, and is NOT a permanent animal that can be kept on your Farm.
If you choose to give the Wandering Stallion shelter, he will automatically be placed into your Horse Stable. If you have a Wandering Stallion, you have a chance of receiving a Foal the next time you collect from your Stable.
If you already have a Wandering Stallion in your Horse Stable, you will not be able to get another. Clicking on multiple Wandering Stallion feeds from your Neighbors will not increase the chances of a Foal being born.
When a Foal is born, you will receive a pop-up informing you that your newborn is eager to explore the world. This pop-up will allow you to post a feed to your wall. Five of your Neighbors can click on this feed to receive a Foal.
The type of Foal you receive is determined by the types of horse in your Stable. Please note that the Pink Pony, Brown Pony, High Kick Horse and Spectator Horse will produce a Brown Foal.
Once you harvest from your Stable and find a Foal, you will have to click on a new Wandering Stallion feed to have a chance of making another foal.
The Limited Edition “White Stallion” can be placed inside your Horse Stable and will act like a permanent Wandering Stallion. Each time you harvest from your Stable you will have a chance to find a Foal. If you receive a Foal, you will not get a consumable. If you do not get a Foal when collecting from your Stable, you still have a chance of receiving an Arborist, Farm Hand or 100 XP.
Baby Foals can be brushed every 24 hours and cannot be placed inside your Horse Stable.
If the Wandering Stallion does not give you a Foal and you also do not get a Consumable, you will receive a coin bonus.
Additional Notes:

There is now a faster way to allocate your skill points. You can still assign points 1 at a time, or you can use the +5 button to put 5 into one category.
To see the new screen, go to your Profile. You'll now see +1 and +5 buttons next to each skill category.
Select +1 to assign points the same way you always have. Or, save time by selecting +5 to put all points into one category.
Strategy Tip: Consider rotating your points each time you level. Use +5 to put all to attack on your next level, +5 to put all to defense on the following level, and so on.

You can now build your very own decorative La Maison building!
La Maison:
The La Maison foundation can be purchased from the Buildings section of Market for 5,000 Coins.
Once you’ve placed the Foundation on your farm, you will be prompted with a message letting you know that you can post a feed to ask you friends for help building your Maison.
Clicking the "Share" button will give you the option to post a feed to your wall asking your Neighbors for help.
In order to complete your La Maison, you’ll need to finish building it. Selecting ‘Look Inside’ from your foundation’s menu will show you what you need to complete your La Maison.
When you first place the foundation, you’ll have one Slate Tile already. In order to build a complete La Maison you’ll need 10 of each item. You can get these items one of two ways:
1. From neighbors via the Free Gifts menu.
Neighbors can send you the components you need to build your La Maison. Your Neighbors will be able to send you two of the five types of building components to help you complete your La Maison.
Please note that the two components displayed on the Free Gifts Page are randomized. As such, the components displayed on the Free Gifts Page may be different for each user.
When neighbors send you a building component, it works exactly like any other free gift. After you accept the gift it will appear in your gift box.
After clicking the "use" button under the gift it will automatically be added to your La Maison.
2. Purchasing components from the Market,
You can purchase components required to build your La Maison from the Market for 1 Farm Cash per item.
When you reach 25 items, you’ll receive pop-up that will allow you to post a feed to your wall. The first ten neighbors to click this feed will receive a random building component for their own La Maison construction.
When you complete your La Maison, you will receive a popup asking you if you’d like to share the news with your friends. Clicking the Share button on this popup will give you the option to post a feed to your wall that will give up to five neighbors who click on it a free Provencal Pot.
Please remember that the La Maison is only a decorative item. It does not have any additional functionality.
You will be able to store the La Maison in storage once it is complete.
You will only be able to have ONE buildable La Maison on your Farm (even when it’s complete you will be unable to start building a new one).
Alternatively, you can have an infinite number of the La Maisons if they are purchased with Farm Cash.

Bug:
Due to a series of technical issues, players were able to collect more than one copy of Epic Circle of Warding.
Players should only be able to collect/be in possession of one copy of Epic Circle of Warding.
Resolution:
We’re currently running a script to ensure that:
1. ONLY players who have completed the Undead Legends avatar set have the LE.
2. No players has more than 1 of this LE (excepting Admins).
What this means for you:
If you only have a single copy of Epic Circle of Warding, you will not be effected by this change.
For players that have gathered more than a copy of ECoW, your excess copies of the ability will be removed until you are in possession of only one.
Further, if you received an ECoW without completing the Undead Legends event, that ability will be removed from your inventory until you complete it.
