To assign a Horse to a Rider, you need a rider whose level is the same level as the highest discipline level of your horse.

Next, go to the Training Center in the game menu. Your horse should appear in the list. Click the Train button to train your horses. You may train once per week. How Do I Get Good Horses? The best and least expensive way to get good horses is to purchase rated horses off the sales board (horse search), or to bid on rated horses in auction. Look for horses that are rated Superb, Premium, or Elite. If you are not upgraded it will be difficult to tell if your captured horses are any good without showing them for some time. Also, when breeding horses, always look for the most talented breeding stock possible to breed your horses to. The Leaderboards and Horse Search are good places to look. Look for studs that are Premium in at least one discipline, and then you know your foal has a good chance at being decent. Lastly, check out the horses in Adam's Auctions. These are gathered from the Free Range and are guaranteed to be Premium in at least one discipline. How Long Is A Game Year? And When Do Horses Age? A Game Year lasts one real life month. Horses age on the first of each month. How Do I Earn Game Money? Your stable will receive automatic pay from the bank daily.

Why Can't I Enter My Horses Into Shows? If your horses can't enter shows, there should a message atop the horse page that says why they can't be entered.

(One per day per horse) If you are upgraded, you can enter additional special shows if your horses qualify (See the Game Guide). When Do Shows Run? Shows run every night around midnight Gametime. How Does A Horse Move Up To The Next Show Level? Your horses move up levels by training. Training may be done once a week in the Training Center.

It is possible to have a dead foal if you cross two White horses or Two Frame horses together. Horses retire from their training discipline when they reach Level 10.

They do need to Qualify first, see the Game Guide for more info. Why Can't I Enter My Horses Into The HEEF? Your horse needs to be at least Level 3 in Eventing to enter the HEEF. How Do I Determine What Discipline To Show My Horses In If They Aren't Rated? If your horses aren't rated and you want to know what they are best at, set them to train in All Discplines and assign them to a rider training in All Disciplines. Then show your horses for a month in all disciplines. After a month, you can tell which they are showing better in, so then set them and their rider to that discipline and show them in that. What Is The Free Range And Rainbow Bridge? The Free Range is the wild land of Eden, where your horses go when you set them free. Once a week the game clears the horses out of the Free Range. A select few of most talented are rounded up for Adam's Auctions. Of the remainder: The ones with offspring pass away and go to the Rainbow Bridge, and the rest are deleted from the game.

(The Barn Manager enters horses at 4pm Gametime). Additionally, the Barn Manager only enters horses with enough training to potentially place well. If your horse is new to their level it will take some time for them to train up and for the Barn Manager to enter them. As always you are welcome to enter your horses on the easy enter page. Why Is My Horse So Short? Foals are born at 10 Hands in height and take 60 real life days to grow to their mature height. What Do The Red Numbers In My Barn Mean? The red numbers mean that your horse has leveled up before their rider, and so they are at a disadvantage in showing. It would be beneficial to switch your horse to a higher level rider. However, if your horse/rider is entered into a Federation, you may want to wait until the end of the year before switching riders, otherwise you'll need to re-enter them in the Federation. If the number is green, it means the rider is a higher level than the horse, and so they are at a showing advantage. My Friend Signed Up To Play. Why Haven't I Earned Referral Money Yet? In order to receive referral eden bucks, your friends need to use your referral link to sign up for the game. Your referral link is located under "Free Eden Bucks" in the Game Menu. Referral money will only be paid if your friend signs up and actively plays the game for a while. Just creating an account won't earn money. When the referral is paid to you it will show up in your Accountant. How Do I Delete My Account? Accounts cannot be manually deleted. They are automatically deleted from the game after 180 days of inactivity. Or, if the account was upgraded, it will be deleted after two years of inactivity. Admins will not delete accounts for you. So, basically, stop logging into your account and it will go away after a while. I Can't Buy An Upgrade With Real Money. Is There Another Way To Get One? If you're unable to purchase a Premium Account upgrade with real money then you may be in luck. Other game members may be willing to purchase an upgrade for you in trade for eden bucks. Look in the Forum under Upgrade Sales to see if anyone is selling upgrades. Or you can make a want ad on the game Classifieds page. Generally people sell them for 135K+ eden bucks, but you may be able to negotiate. Additionally you can buy upgrades and other features with gift cards. Why Isn't My Grey Foal Grey? At birth grey foals are their base color. They grey out with age. So your foal's picture will have little to no grey on it. Once they turn 3 and have their adult picture, then they will be grey.
