Horses are the bread and butter of this game! There is lots of information to learn about them, which you can find below.

Create a Horse

You can create a horse by going to Services -> Prospects Pasture.

Horses are created by randomly matching one of our lovely Founding stallions with a Founding mare. Thus, a foal with your breed or gender specifications is born.

There are three types of horse you can create:

• Untrained Horses are 4 year old horses from your chosen registry, and has basic training.
• Pre-Trained Horses are 10 year old horses from your chosen registry, of your chosen gender, and have already completed some training towards jumping, eventing or dressage. You must have Shockamole dollars in order to purchase one, and all new players start with 5!
• Maxed Horses are 10 year old geldings who are fully trained in their ideal discipline. You can purchase one using Referral Tickets, which you can earn by referring new players to the game!

Horse Status

Horses have 3 different "statuses" within the game.

• Active (a) horses are horses that are able to be trained and compete in shows. If they are under 4 years old, they are considered a Young Horse. Active horses cannot be bred, with the exception of stallions, who can be used for stallion services.
• Breeding (b) horses have retired from competition, and are now being used to further their breed! Breeding mares are able to move back to Active status as long as they are still sound and are not pregnant.
• Retired (r) horses have retired from both breeding and competition, and are living their lives out in the Greener Pastures.

A horse's status can be changed by going to the horse's page, Management -> Change Status. There are 4 possible options you may see in this dropdown menu:

• Retire to Breeding: This sets their status to 'b', and allows mares to breed.
• Retire to Greener Pastures: This sets their status to 'r' and is irreversible. Retired horses in the Greener Pastures will appear under your "Retired" tab on your stable page.
• Rehome: This moves the horse back to Alexis' farm, the OTO Breeding Farm. Horses will live out the rest of their days here happy!

Horses are forced to retire at the age of 25, which prevents them from breeding or showing. From retirement they can be rehomed, or remain in your stable as a memorial.
