Buying a Horse Barn and Horses

Before beginning your journey into the Horse breeding business, you will first need to earn enough money to purchase a Horse Barn. This, unlike other animal-keeping structures has a much dearer price tag. Starting at $118,500, you will need to save up in order to start purchasing and taking care of any Horses you later purchased to fill the Barn. Once you have the Barn, you will next need Horses. These can be purchased via the pawprint icon in the front of the Stables area. You will find a total of 8 options available, being categorized by color as their variation rather than actual breeds of Horse. These cost $500 and require you to pay a transportation fee of $300 every time. This puts the total cost of buying a single Horse at $800. Luckily you have multiple windows to go through when confirming your purchase if you decide to change your mind on the color/variation of Horse.

Once you are riding the Horse, you should refer to the percentage bar in the top-left corner of the screen, beside your cash. This will tell you how much exercise the Horse requires. Always aim for 100% and plan your route so that when you are in the 90% of their fitness, you can bring the Horse easily back to the pen.

The care of Horses are shown by their fitness and hunger. You will need to feed the Horses their Base Food and Hay. You can find this information and your progress in the Menu and ‘Animals’ Tab. You can also see their living conditions where they will require Straw in the Stables. All of this, whilst following the day-time schedule of the game will progress your Horses lifespan. You will note their Health, Puberty, Fitness, Daily Riding and Age under the Horse Image in the centre of the screen.
