Welcome to the game! It is a complex game, but you're best bet for getting started is to click on the link for the Guide for New Members. You'll find it near the top right corner of the page that comes up when you first log in. There is a lot of good information to be found there. Once you've read it, don't hesitate to ask specific questions here on the forum. We're a friendly community and we like helping new members.

Here are a few quick pointers--one good way to get started is to click on the Search Horses link on the left side of your stable pages. Then enter 13 in the horse owner field. This will take you to the Foundation Rescue. All the horses there will be perfect foundations, which means that they will be the best at both breeding and showing that normal foundations can be and will be perfectly consistent in showing, having the same score each time they show in a given week. You can narrow the results down by choosing to search just mares or stallions. (Or gelding or spayed mares as well, if you're concentrating on show horses.)

It's the start of a new breeding season, so one other piece of advice is to breed horses of the same generation together--foundation horses to foundation horses, 2nd generation to 2nd generation, and so forth. Most experienced players prefer even pedigrees (especially for what shows up on the page when you click the "Family" tab for a horse. Past the fourth generation, it doesn't matter as much, but if an uneven pedigree shows up there, many people won't be interested in buying or breeding to a horse. That said, there is nothing in the game rules forbidding such breeding, it's just part of the game culture that it helps to know about.

I hope you're soon enjoying the game as much as most of us do. It can be quite addicting.

The best thing you can do to start is buy a few nice foundation mares and breed them to foundation stallions. Show everything as much as you can to generate points, which turn increase you weekly income

Here you go :)

Hi everyone,

Think I'm off to a fairly good start with the herd helper Perfect Foundations. Yesssss......and a grey mare - I love greys. On average what age do greys turn grey?

It varies. I believe they gray out faster if they are homozygous for it. They will have a lighter goggle around their eyes when created or born and hazy patches elsewhere, but I've never tracked the progression of graying on a specific horse.

hi
