Howrse Foal Games - winter

UPDATE: Following the changes made by Howrse in July 2012, these foal games will no longer work. See the ALL NEW foal games here.

So far all our methods for games have involved the temperature being over 10°C, so you can put your foal in the pasture overnight. Actually you can get away with the original method as long as the temperature is over 8°C.

However, if the temperature is colder than this (down to 3°C) you can still play with your foal using the amended method below. Make sure you put your foal to sleep in the pasture even though it says it is too cold!

If it is any colder than 3°C you will need to wait until the weather warms up a bit before playing with your foal.

What you need before you start:

- salt stone
- carrots
- turnips (you buy these in the store)
- clean and fertile pasture at your foals EC
- temperature over 3°C (but still put your foal to bed in the pasture each night)

8 MONTHS :
2h30 hrs pasture / Salt stone / Grooming / 7h of games/ Turnip / 1h of games / Stroke / Carrot / drink / 1hour box / Feed (5 lbs)

10 MONTHS :
1h30 of pasture / Salt stone / Grooming / 1h of games / 1h of pasture / Feed (7lbs) / 7h of games/ Turnip/ 1h of games / Stroke / Carrot / drink

1 YEAR :
2h30 of pasture / Salt stone / Grooming / 8h of games / Turnip / 1h of games / Stroke / Carrot / drink / 30min of pasture

1 YEAR AND 2 MONTHS :
1h30 of pasture / Salt stone / Grooming / 1h of games / Feed (5lbs) / 8h of games / Turnip / 1h of games / Stroke / Carrot / drink

1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS :
30 min of pasture / Salt stone / Grooming / 1h of games/ Feed (10lbs) / 9h of games / Turnip / 1h of games / Stroke / drink / Carrot

1 YEAR AND 6 MONTHS :
30 min pasture / Salt stone / Grooming / 1h of games / Feed (12 lbs) / 10h of games / Turnip/ Carrot / 2h of games / Stroke / drink

At 1 year and 8 months your horse might be a little bit poorly. If this is the case, put them in the field and/or the box until they have 100% health again.

EDIT: Since Howrse changed how putting your horse to sleep in the box works, you can now just use normal foal games in the winter - putting your horse to bed in the box instead of the meadow.
