i just started two days ago and i dont know what to do. i dont know how to make my own stable, get my horses skill up, breed or anything just what the little pop up man tells me to do. if someone could give me advice that would be great.

Answer 1

when u play the game make sure you feed and water and stuff. but on the little bar at the top you can move your mouse on it and these catagories pop up and u can go to the black market and but stuff and get treats.

and go over profile and click my riding level and u can take a test once you've been there long enough and righ beside it to get a job.

and if u want to open a stable you have to be to a certain riding level.

if u have anymore problems my name is laurenkatiebug on the game.

The Perfect Training Method

get a chrono at 1 year 8 months

do all the long rides first

do all the short rides in trotting as you can do more rides that way

during this time spend as much time as you can in the box

example: 4 hours hilly rides/groom/ stoke /stroke /carrot/ turnip/ drink/ salt/ 5 hours in the box/ 2 hours pasture/ feed as required/ 1/2 hour trot ride if you have 13 energy

when you are done long hilly rides: do gallop rides

example: groom/ salt/ carrot/ 5 hours gallop rides/ stroke/ stroke/ carrot/ drink/ turnip/ 4 hours box/ 2 hours pasture/ feed as needed/ again 1/2 hour trot ride if you have extra energy

when you are done long gallop rides do long trot rides:

example: groom/ salt/ drink/ 6 hours trot rides/ stroke / stroke/ carrot/ 4 hours box/ 1.5 pasture/ feed as needed/ short trot ride if you have extra energy

when you are done all of the long rides: do short rides in trot.

example: groom/ salt/ carrot/ 1 hour trot/ 1 hour trot/ 1 hour trot/ half hour trot/ carrot turnip etc.....

when you are done all short rides train in this order: Dressage, Galloping, Trotting, Jumping.

NOW YOU COMPETE DO NOT COMPETE BEFORE THIS IT IS A WASTE you should have found a whip, a saddle cloth and a blanket with all that box time and your horse should be around 6-7 years old.

good idea to buy wings or hep shoes at this point

do show jumping comps till you don't gain anymore skill points

do cross country comps till you don't gain any more skill points

now enter your horse in about 30 cross country comps making sure that the horses morale is 100% at all times before doing a comp

example: before you do comps ALWAYS groom/salt/ carrot them then enter the comp

after your horse has been entered in like 30 comps walk away from the computer or do something else for an hour or two this gives the comps time to finish and you don't do more than you have to do.

you can do up to 6 cross country comps per day

you can do up to 8 show jump comps per day

you can do 3-5 speed races a day

if you are doing cross country comps

example: groom/salt/ carrot/ 6 Xcountry comps (2 hours each)/ box half hour/ feed put to sleep

always enter the lowest skill comp you can find even if it isn't just your breed in the comp.

when you have 15+ wins then enter another 20 comps

now train in speed then in stamina as stamina bumps you into higher skill level comps

your horse should have their 20 wins by age 10 or close to it 12 years tops. and you should have 4 skills bold and 100 BLUP

Riding Levels:

Every few days, you can go here: http://www.howrse.com/joueur/galops/

to take and pass a Riding Level. You win various things/jobs by passing. Here are a few study guides for you:

Study Guide: Riding Level One  

  

The horse is one of 10 living species of Equidae (sometimes known as the Horse Family). Horses have been domesticated between 4000 and 2000BC for work and transportation. Today, in most nations the horse is used for recreation and sporting more than work.

The horse's basic anatomy doesn't differ greatly than most 4-legged livestock animals. Horses have 2 ears, eyes, and nostrils, four legs with hooves and a tail. Unlike cattle and goats, horses have a single stomach with no chambers, and it is relatively small for the size of animal (at about 4 gallons). A full sized horse is 14.3hh or taller; ponies measure 14.2hh and smaller. The average horse moves in four gaits; a walk, trot, canter, and gallop.

Horses are herd animals and require companionship. If another horse is not available, horses have been known to bond with other livestock. Because of their lengthy life expectancies (over 25 years), horses can make excellent life-long companions for humans. Many horses are intelligent can be trained to do simple tricks and play with their owners. However, when frightened, a horse's first response is to run away.

Study Guide: Riding Level Two  

  

It is important to groom a horse as often as necessary to promote health. Horses kept clean on a daily basis often require little heavy grooming; a light brushing with a soft brush will do. For a horse that has sports of tried mud and dirt, it's best to start with a rubber or plastic toothed grooming brush called a curry comb. Once the dried mud is removed, you can move onto a soft brush to finish the coat and bring out it's shine. Brushing the mane and tail with a comb is also important, however, it is best to speak softly or hum to the horse when working around it's back end, so it knows where you are, and always be sure to leave at least 6 feet of space when walking behind the horse. Stand to the side then brushing out the tail, so if the horse kicks he will not connect with you. Clipping helps keep the horse's mane, whiskers, and coat neat as well. Many horse owners clip a bridle path behind their horse's ears to keep the hair from tangling in the halter or bridle. This often requires tying the horse with a loose knot so the groomer may use both hands to clip. If you choose to give your horse a full body clip year-round, it is recommended you give your horse a blanket to help keep him warm in cold weather.

Turn out is important for a horse's overall physical and mental health. This gives them time to be loose so they may excercise at their leisure and provides them time to play with their herd. Turn-out time also helps to prevent the horse from developing bad habits, such as cribbing, windsucking, and being destructive to his stall. When leading a horse to their turn-out, it is important to walk to the side next to their head so they may see. Be sure the halter fits the horse well and is safe to lead the horse out. Never leave a halter on a loose horse, as they can injure themselves if the hatler is caught in a fence or other objects.

While your horse is out, take the opportunity to clean his stall and water bucket. Horses require fresh, clean water and should have their water buckets cleaned several times a week to prevent bacteria growth. If you horse is in his stall more than he is outside, his stall should be cleaned daily to lessen the probability that he could contract a parasite.

Study Guide: Riding Level Three  

  

Horses have very sensitive systems and are delicate creatures, despite the work they can perform.

If you exercise your horse regularly, he needs to have proper care and nutrients to insure his body has what it needs to keep up with the performance required of him. Keeping a mineral block handy will permit him to add minerals to his diet as needed. If energy levels are a concern, corn-based feeds will provide an excellent source of energy, and it is advised you also increase his carbohydrates and protien. In addition, breeding stallions need a fair amount of Vitamin A. Of course, many easy keepers do well on pasture forage.

Overfeeding or improper feeding can lead to severe problems. Founder occurs when the laminae of the hoof becomes inflamed, and this is most often due to massive intake of carbohydrates. Over-treating horses, especially with molasses and other sugar-based treats, can lead to cavaties in the teeth. One of the most frightening and fatal dietary problems is colic, the most common of which is impaction colic. If your horse displays the common signs of lack of interest in food and water, lying down, pawing the ground and staring at their sides, it is extremely important to call the Veterinarian right away before the impaction turns fatal.
