Howrse Foal Games

UPDATE: Following the changes made by Howrse in April 2011, these foal games will no longer work. See the ALL NEW foal games here.

Your foal has now reached 8 months old and although they're still really young, this is where their training starts!

However, as they're still babies it isn't anything difficult - they just get to play games all day.

Playing games with your foal is very important as it helps increase how good they'll be in later life. We won't say anything more about this now as it gets a little confusing - especially as when you first join you can't even see this happening. Simply get into the habit of always playing good games with your foal and all will become clear later on in your Howrse life!

OK here's what you need before you start playing:

- salt stone
- carrots
- turnips (you buy these in the store)
- clean and fertile pasture at your foals EC
- temperature over 10°C (so you can put your foal to bed in the pasture each night)

Now, if this is your first foal, you probably won't have a saltstone yet. You find a saltstone by randomly putting your horse in the box one day. However, if this hasn't happened to you yet, don't worry, you just need to follow the games method detailed in another post - 'Foal Games - without saltstone'.

Right so if you're all set, just follow the method below:

8 MONTHS :
1h30 pasture / salt stone / grooming / 7h playing / turnip / 1h playing / stroking / Carrot / Drinking / 2h pasture / Feeding

10 MONTHS :
1h30 pasture / salt stone / grooming / 1h playing / 1h pasture / 1h playing / turnip / Feeding (min 7 pounds) / 7h playing / stroking / Carrot / Drinking

1 YEAR :
1h30 pasture / salt stone / grooming / 8h playing / Carrot / Drinking / 1h playing /
stroking / turnip / 1h pasture / Feeding (what's needed)

1 YEAR 2 MONTHS :
1h30 pasture / salt stone / grooming / 9h playing / turnip / 1h playing / stroking / Carrot / Drinking / Feeding (min 10 pounds)

1 YEAR 4 MONTHS :
30mn pasture / salt stone / grooming / 1h playing / Feeding / 9h playing / turnip /
1h playing / stroking / Drinking / Carrot

Now when your foal wakes up in the morning, they will have become a full grown horse - look out for how their picture changes!

1 YEAR 6 MONTHS :
30mn pasture / salt stone / grooming / 1h playing / Feeding (min 14 pounds) /
10h playing / turnip / Carrot / 2h playing / stroking / Drinking

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.

After that you can start to train them properly!
