Starting with a single horse and a small amount of cash, you’ll gradually expand your stable, improve your bloodlines and compete in higher-level racing countries.

Your first day

When you begin the game, you’ll receive:

  • One horse
  • $6,000 in game cash
  • A stable in the Starter countries

Your first goal is simple: keep your horse healthy, happy and racing.

Make sure you:

  • Train your horse regularly
  • Feed your horse when needed
  • Brush your horse to increase happiness
  • Enter races to earn prize money

Happy, well-trained horses perform better and have a greater chance of success on the track.

Growing your stable

As you earn prize money from racing, you’ll be able to purchase additional horses and expand your stable.

The more horses you own, the more racing opportunities you’ll have and the faster you can grow your stable.

You can also earn additional game cash by:

  • Collecting daily bonuses
  • Brushing friends’ horses
  • Listing stallions in the Stud Farm
  • Winning races

Breeding better horses

Once your horses reach breeding age, you can begin developing your own bloodlines.

Breeding allows you to combine desirable traits from both the mare and the sire, giving you the opportunity to produce stronger horses over multiple generations.

As your breeding program improves, you’ll gain access to horses capable of competing in higher pedigree levels and more competitive racing countries.

Beginner tips

  • Race regularly to build your bankroll.
  • Add friends and brush their horses for extra income.
  • Keep your horses happy through regular care.
  • Place quality stallions in the Stud Farm to earn breeding fees.
  • Focus on improving your bloodlines, not just increasing the number of horses you own.
  • Learn which horses perform best under different track conditions.
