Taking Care of your First Foal on Howrse

So, you've registered on Howrse and now you have your very first foal. But what do you do next? Don't panic, simply read on and learn everything you need to know to get you through the first few days.

If you're not there already, click on the 'breeding' tab and then the 'my horses' link. Your brand new foal should now appear.

On the bottom left-hand side of the page there is a box with the heading 'History'. Everything you do with your horse will appear in here.

Now look at the buttons on the left-hand side of the page. These are the all the things you need to do to look after your foal. Take a deep breath and begin to look after your foal!

First click 'Stroke'. This will give your foal energy.
Next, click 'Groom'. This will clean your foal and make them happy.
Now click, 'Drink'. This will give your foal a drink.
Finally click 'Nurse'. This means the foal will suckle from their mother.

And that's it! Well done, you've just looked after your first foal.

You continue to look after them in this way until they reach 6 months. Once they reach 6 months then read our next post for what to do next.
