I follow my own schedule for the foal games and it's been sufficiently tested.
Make sure the foal is on an equestrian center with carrots and impeccable pasture. From 8 months to 1 year and 4 months I follow this:
- Brush
- Half hour pasture
- Feed, always 2 lbs more than indicated(so if it needs 4.4, you feed 6, if it needs 6.6, you feed 8 and so on)
- Play amount of hours needed to deplete the energy barĀ
- Stroke
- Carrot
- Drink
- Turnip
- 1 hour play
If you do it right and the colt/filly is 1 year and 4 months, then he goes to bed at 22:00 with sufficient energy. You'll need no items, only if you placed it in a center without carrots, then a Philotes' Stroke can help.
