if you get the beginner obj to move up in the ranks at least 1 spot. it's really easy. people are going to go into long detail telling you all the things that will help you move up. in the beginning it ain't hard at all. just do what you normally do and you will move up usually a lot. key is you MUST log in the next day to get credit for it. you are moving up over the accounts not getting logged into

I just joined the game today! I am having a hard time navigating, but I'm sure I'll get used to it as time goes on. I am having a hard time finding things to do outside of objectives and taking care of my horses. Anyway, I just wanted to ask the community for advice for a first-time player!

this entire topic has a ton of great advice that's what it is here for. for what else to do: check out my forum for a full list of the beginner obj. you can plan ahead. like for ex there's an obj to own 7 different breeds. you can start working on getting different breeds. that kind of thing.

When picking an EC try not to break the bank on really expensive ECs. Just cause they cost a lot doesn't mean there isn't something better for cheaper.
A few things to consider:
1. your starter horses honestly don't need the top lessons and tack. it's not going to make a huge difference.
2. your foals don't need to be in a box that costs a lot and offers everything. they need the basics.
3. if you want to get the tack. those tend to be more expensive. only board for one day.
4. you can filter what you are looking for then rearrange by price. pick the cheapest.
5. don't board for long periods when you are really low on money. do the minimum

You can buy horses with the companions or coats you want for a collection. Just be sure that duplicates. If they do you can sell one, same thing with the twin horses if you have any.

Stop bidding if it gets too high, unless you REALLY need the horse

Someone help where do I find "missions"

On the horse's page, in the upper right corner It says lesson or transport sand/iron/wood.

If you're gonna open luck items to try and get divines, Golden Fleeces are the best bet:
you'll get a decent BMI at least, and for some reason I often get the divine with those, as compared to Titan's Challenges, or God forbid Tyche's Crowns

During the week I save up my objective money and then on the weekend I use the offer to nab a new divine! I don't spend any IRL money and can still "bag" new divines quite often.

Oh: also, to win an auction, you don't have to bid wayyyy more than the person who bid before you. I usually only bid 1 EQUUS more, and keep doing that for a while, so it stays within the range I can afford and usually annoys the other bidders into giving up.

Don't throw passes at every divine being offered: calculate how much it is worth to you (do you use the perk? etc.) and how much it will take to get the horse, assuming no jackpot, and then decide if you want to try for it (you won't have enough to guarantee getting one probably for a good while when you first start, but don't get discouraged).

if you are trying to get 3* boxes and are deleting 1 or 2* boxes as you make 3* boxes. One thing to think about if you have less than 100 boxes. deleting the 1* boxes will hurt your capacity part of the prestige. so consider keeping the 1* boxes til you have 100 3* boxes.

Also, dont spend your passes on unneeded things.

Use your weekly exchanges!!!

How to join a good team

Stroke gives max energy the lower a horses energy is, and fodder/oats give more energy the higher the horses energy is. So stroke first, if low energy, and feed last.

Budget your passes wisely - learn how to play the market (sell cheap donkey unicorns for passes, flip sales, ect) and spend them wisely on divines useful to your play style, or vip, or important sales.

Find what you want to focus on by experimenting early. Learn to BLUP horses to 100% and try breeds that interest you/you think are cute and then focus on those. Or maybe collecting customization horses is your thing, or trophies, or a particular unicorn breed! The point is try lots of stuff and then pick things to focus in on; you'll get much further.

The game is definitely super slow in the beginning and that can be frustrating, but if you stick to it, it gets a lot more fun because you have a lot more flexibility! For those that are bored in the beginning, try sticking around a little longer and see if it gets better

I wish I knew more people starting out. It would have been fun to grow with some friends and maybe be on a team. I don't know anyone on here as a friend. Never been on a team in the 10+ years I've played. Also I don't think I'm really doing the equestrian center right. But whatever cause ranking is impossible on the game

I Guess I Wish I Knew You Could Transport Skills Form Beach Rides. Because On My Old Deleted Account, I Used To Have Really Really Good Horses That Are Hard To Buy Now.

If you play on mobile and want to use this fancy letter: т
Don't do it!

Instead, use this one: ᴛ

After 235 days of playing on mobile, I logged in on a computer and realized the first "t", which I use in my two main affixes, showed up as an "m" below every horses name when on the web version...

Wrong:

т

Right:

ᴛ


Thank you to maaika.x for giving me the correct "t" so I didn't have to spend hours reworking my affixes again

Don’t sell off your first horse(s) and special coats. Years down the line, you will regret it! No matter how poor you are, don’t sell them

You want to know something funny i wish i knew back when i first started ?

How to read descriptions of divines properly when i first started many many many years ago when greyfell's were new divines and came with no P stones....

Guess who the smart doughnut who decided oh they need a stone i don't want to lose my divines put a stone on 5 of her greyfells?

So don't put a stone on a greyfell you'll never get to use it's perk

Yep that's right me!! I honestly have no idea what i was thinking then to do such a silly thing!!

Beach rides operated different then mountain and forest rides. mountain and forest just go until you get all your skills, and they move at a set rate.

beach rides are transferred skills based on moral and the percentage of your horse's genetic potential for the improved skill. so, if your moral isn't full, you actually move LESS skills. it's more like your given a set number of hours to ride and whatever skills you move is just what you get based on moral. SO always check the moral when the horse wakes up and groom it before training if needed
