Stages
There are two stages for the horse: foal, and horse. After you have asked the female if she would like a baby, after a couple days she’ll have given birth. After being born, the foal will take 25 days to reach adult.
To make the horse reproduce, you need a male and female at the adult stage. You ask the female if she wants to go outside, say no then an option will come up saying would you like to have a baby say yes.
After a while your horse will give birth and you will have a cute little foal on your farm. Horses come in three colors, a vanilla color, dark brown, and black with a golden mane. The vanilla colored horse will have its mane the same color as you bandana, so don’t be surprised if its baby blue! You can buy a saddle at Lucus’ shop for 1000g. Afterwards, you can ride your adult horse.
After you have entered your horse in the races, you are able to see the position of your horse by buying a book at Lucus’ shop after the 15th. There are two races: Derby race and the Filly race. Special races will occur on the fifteenth of spring (The Cherry Cup) and the fifteenth of fall (X race).
