After loading your saved game, everything will be just as you left it, even when you leave the project! You can find the Save button in the Stable. This is important if you want to go far! ★ Some instructions will appear in-game as you need them. Any additional info you might need can be found below. ----------------------- MENU TOOLS ------------------------ When you're in a horse's stall, move your mouse towards the Menu Wheel to display different choices to care for and interact with your horse. ★ CARE: Click Care to feed, water and groom your horse. Click any of the feed options to feed your equine friend or drag the brush to it to groom it. ★ TACK: Brings up your tack—the saddle, saddle pad and bridle. Click the buttons to put them on your horse—you need all three to go for a ride. ★ HELP: It will direct you here. ★ QUICK STORE: It's much more expensive than Susan's, so you should only go here in case of emergencies. ★ RANDOM HORSE NAME: There is a list of more than 500 horse names waiting in case you can't think of one for your equine friend! ★ RENAME: In case you name a horse and then change your mind. ★ RIDE: When you've tacked up your horse, you can click this button to take it for a ride! Riding can get you to Susan's Supplies, the Cross-Country Arena, the Horse Store, the Park and the Tack Shop. ★ APPRAISE: If you want to find out how much you'll be able to sell a horse for, what your horse's coat color is called, the horse's gender, whether it's in-foal and how much time is left until baby, click this. -------------------- EARNING MONEY ---------------------- ★ COMPETITIONS: Enter competitions and win trophies to display in your stable. When you're in a cross-country arena, you must go as far as you can. The longer you can endure the hurdles, the better trophies you can earn! ★ SELLING HORSES: You can sell horses at the Horse Store. Be careful—you can't sell a horse for quite as much as the purchase price. If you buy and then immediately sell a horse, you'll lose money. HOWEVER, the higher the horse's Max Endurance, the more money it will sell for. You can raise its endurance by competing in Cross-Country. This is a good way to make a profit. ★ MANZANITA'S RANCH: Go to Anza's ranch below! ------------------------ BREEDING ------------------------- REQUIREMENTS: ★ To breed, you must have a male horse and a female horse who are at least 4 years of age. You must also have an open stall. If you have three horses already, there will be no room for the foal. (You can sell a horse at the horse store.) Your stable must be Level 5. ★ When you have met all of these requirements, go into one of the stalls and click the heart-shaped Breed button, which will appear when your horses can breed. Type "yes." Then 4 minutes 30 secs later (11 game months), they will have a foal. (The foal will just appear in the third stall.) You could get a Skilled Breeder Stable Boon at Susan's to shorten the in-foal time. BENEFITS: ★ You could get higher-quality horses from breeding, and you can sell all horses you don't need to earn a lot of money. ----------------------- LEVELING UP ------------------------ REQUIREMENTS: To get EXP to level up your Stable... ★ help Manzanita Joy with her ranch (go to this project: ) ★ donate horses to the Horse Store ★ buy and sell horses and supplies ★ jump over hurdles and acquire trophies in the cross-country arena ★ raise foals ★ pet horses ★ make friends at the park …and other general play.
