New FarmVille Animals: Candy Cane Pony & Candy Cane Foal

As part of tonight's FarmVille update, Zynga has released a new set of Winter Holiday themed animals to the game. These are animals that we gave you a sneak peek of in the middle of November. While it's taken quite a while for Zynga to actually bring us these animals, we can all agree that it's better late than never.

What are the animals, you ask? They are the Candy Cane Pony, and the Candy Cane Foal. The Candy Cane Pony has a red and white striped tail and mane, as its name would suggest, and it costs 24 Farm Cash to add to your farm. It can be harvested from once every three days, but if you have room in your Horse Stable, it will gladly find a home within as well. Through this process, you'll be able to have a chance to breed the Candy Cane Foal, which will give you horse collectors out there something else to search for.

The Candy Cane Pony will be available for the next 19 days, so take your time in deciding if you'd like to splurge on this colorful new animal.
