Questions on breeding

What do I do to change my horse's name?


You can change the name of your horse. To do this, go to the horse page. There are four icons under the name of each horse. To change one of their names, click on the small black and white horse heads, "Rename this horse".

You cannot however change the affix of a horse or pony that you have not bred.



How can I have an affix?


To have an affix, you need to own at least two horses and have two karma points.

Once you have fulfilled these conditions, you can then register your affix using a link on the "My office page".



How can I create a breeding farm?


To create a breeding farm you have to have 3 karma points. When you have them, go to the directory page then, using the link "Manage my breeding farms" you can register your own.

Please note that a breeding farm can only accept horses or ponies from one and the same breed.

Once the breeding farm is created, you have to place your horses or ponies in it using the icon found under their name on the horses page.



Where can I find a whip, a tub of grease, or a saddle cloth?


These objects as well as others can be found by placing your horse in the box for a period of time during the day, but this is not guaranteed, you need a bit of luck.



I'm not able to sell back equipment to Mrs. Hubert.


You cannot sell back the equipment that you have already placed in the saddlery.



My horse has less than 5% energy. I'm being told that he might die. What can I do?


To increase his energy if it's not too late in his history (you can't do any more actions after midnight), you can give him a turnip, a carrot or put him in the meadow. If it is too late, you've only got the black orchid that you will find on the black market.



A message tells me that my horse has not recovered because he did not have his 10 hours' rest. What does this mean?


Your horse wakes up at 8am (8:00). You have to put him to bed in his box or in the pasture, depending on the temperature, and at 10pm (22:00) at the latest (his action time) so that he completely rests.



My horse is not sleeping. I put him to bed to sleep but nothing's happening.


For your horse to sleep and go from one day to the next, you have to have put him to bed in the pasture or in his box (in which case he must be a resident in an equestrian center).

Then, you either choose to use an aging point, or you have to wait until the following actual morning for a new day to start for him. No message is displayed in the history to say that the horse has slept; this is indicated on the top left of his page.



If I cross horses with special bonuses (Medusa's blood, golden apple, philospher's stone, etc.), will the foals inherit them?


No, foals will be "normal" horses; they will not be pegasuses. They will not have a special coat and will not inherit immortality either.



My mare is foaling and I don't have enough money to call the vet. What will happen?


You have to call a vet the day your mare is foaling. This will cost between 500 and 600 depending on the quality of healthcare in the center in which your mare is a resident. If you do not call the vet, you will lose a foal as well as a karma point.If you don't have enough money to pay for the vet:

  • you can sell back to Mrs. Hubert items that are in your stock (the equipment put in the saddlery cannot be sold back),
  • you can give lessons to your other horses or make them compete,
  • if this is not enough to get the required amount of money,don't go to the page of the mare who is about foal and don't make her do any action. In this way, she will not age, which will leave you time to save money with your salary and your other horses (by putting them in the pasture you will have less forage to give them). You can also sell one of your other horses,
  • If you already made your mare do at least one action and you still can't find the sum required by the means indicated, then the only solution you have is to make up your lack of funds needed for foaling by crediting your reserve with a pass.


My horse has all its stars filled in in the "Training" box but not in the "Skills" one. Why is this?


Not all horses are the same. You cannot make them achieve 100% of skills in each discipline. Their capacities are restricted and vary depending on their breed as well as on their parents, particularly if the horse is a cross of different breeds. When the training is finished, the horse can still gain skill points with riding and competitions, but here again this is restricted. The horse's potential is not infinite.



My horse's skills have reduced compared to yesterday. Why?


When horses become over 25 years' old, their skills progressively decrease. The only case where this phenomenon does not occur is when the horse has received the philosopher's stone before it turns 25. If given this after this age, it stops the loss of skills but does not return those that the horse had already lost. For more detailed information, refer to the part of the breeder's manual devoted to the horse's aging.



When I make my horse compete or take him for a ride, the gain in skills is 0%. Why?


What a horse can gain in skills through riding and competitions is limited. This depends on his breed and his own abilities. At the end of a given time, the horse can no longer make progress.



I put a bid on a horse but I don't want to anymore. Can I withdraw my bid?


No, you cannot cancel a bid you have made. You have to wait for another player to bid over you.



I don't have access to the private sales, but I would like to sell my horse to a friend. Can I do this?


No, reserved auctions are prohibited and can cost you 1 karma point. To sell a horse to someone in particular, you have to wait until you can access the Private Sales.



How can I get a unicorn?


There are 2 ways to get a unicorn. You can buy one (see the horse trade guidebook) or breed one. Breeding conditions for unicorns are peculiar, check reproduction part in the breeder's guidebook for help.



My only horse died, what can I do?


If you attained Riding level 2, you can buy a new horse in auctions.

If you do not have enough seniority to get riding level 2, the best is to restart your game. Go to My account page to see the link..

By starting over, you will get a new horse. But you lose all your horses, job, riding levels attained, karma points...etc. Your reserve will go back to its initial value (2 000 ).

You can only start over your game once every 5 days. If your karma is less than -3, it will not go back to 0 and will keep its old value.



Giving objects


If you have more than 10 days of seniority, you may give away objects. You can give away a maximum of 6 objects per week to your friends, broken down as follows:

  • 3 objects purchased from the shop
  • 3 objects purchased on the black market

To receive your objects, your friends must have at least:

  • 10 days of seniority
  • Positive or zero karma

You may only give one object per friend and per week.
