Horse care guide

Grooming, hoof care, and the role of injuries in everyday stable life.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Horse care includes brushing, combing, hoof picking, and treating injuries. The official store connects grooming and hoof care with preventing problems such as saddle sores and abscesses.

Read the care screen#

Inspect your horse’s condition and the available care tools. Official screenshots show a dedicated horse care view with access to feeding, grooming, tack, and medical options. Store screenshots can show an earlier build, so labels may differ in your copy.

Grooming and hooves#

Brushing and using the hoof pick are functional parts of caring for a horse. Learn what each tool does in the game and use the in-game guidance when a problem appears. This wiki does not claim a fixed number of brush strokes or a proven daily tool order.

Injuries and recovery#

Scrapes and other injuries can require treatment. Read the game’s medical information for the affected horse before deciding what to do next. Exact treatment items, recovery times, and hidden injury chances have not been verified.

Keep the herd manageable#

As an editorial recommendation, make sure you can keep up with care before growing the herd. Staff can help with a larger yard, but their precise task coverage should be checked in your game.

What still needs verification

Research note
