How to change stable groups
Move horses between stable groups, keep a stallion away from your mares, and work around full stables.
Select the horse, click Move at the top, and choose the Stable option to switch its group. If every stall is full, players report that you first need to free a spot, for example by moving a horse temporarily to the breeding station or boarding it at the breeder.
Why stable groups matter#
The game places your horses into stable groups. A player on the Steam forum noticed that a stallion kept getting mares pregnant because they shared a group, which is a common reason to rearrange groups.
Steps to switch a horse’s group#
According to the accepted player answer on the Steam forum: select a horse, click Move at the top, and pick the Stable option. That is where you can switch its group. Button labels may vary slightly between versions and languages.
When all stables are full#
You need free space before you can switch. Players report two workarounds: move a horse temporarily into the breeding station, or board it at the breeder, then make the swap. The same player answer mentioned that switching with full stables was planned for a future update, so check whether your version already allows it.
Rearranging on the pasture#
Another player reports that if your pastures are not full, you can also pick horses up and arrange them differently by hand.
What still needs verification
Whether full-stable switching has been added in the release version, and the exact button labels in each language, need in-game verification.
