A horse allows you to travel faster and reach distant locations using the horse’s Energy instead of your own. Most importantly, some locations and special events can only be accessed on horseback — it is simply impossible to reach them on foot.
You will obtain your first horse after building a Stable. By upgrading it, you can own up to 13 horses at the same time. The Stable is where you can change your active horse, let horses rest to restore Energy, feed them, and breed them.
Additional horses can be acquired in several ways:
— Buying them from Arabella Gallopridge in Silverton (To unlock access to higher-tier horses, you must choose the corresponding skills in the Wrangler skill tree)
— Breeding them on your Ranch
— Receiving them from the Wheel of Fortune in Silverton
— As rewards from certain in-game events
Unlike pets, horses cannot be tamed in the wild.
Horse Stats
Each horse has three main attributes:
1. Horse Energy — Determines how far your horse can travel or pull a Wagon. When Energy runs out, you must continue on foot. Each horse has its own Energy reserve.
2. Speed — Affects how much Energy is consumed while riding.
3. Endurance — Affects how much Energy is consumed while pulling a Wagon.
⚠️ The Wrangler skill tree contains skills that improve horse performance by increasing certain horse stats (such as Energy, Speed, or Endurance), making your horses more effective for traveling and Wagon transport.
Restoring Horse Energy
There are two ways to restore your horse’s Energy:
1. Stable Restoration — Energy recovers over time while the horse is at the Ranch if there is food in the feeder. Crops can be used, but Horse Feed restores the most Energy.
2. Horse Sugar Treats — Instantly restores Energy. The more treats used, the more Energy is recovered.
Horse Perks
In addition to stats, each horse has at least one perk. Some rare horses may have two perks.
Available perks include:
— Energetic — bonus to maximum Energy
— Increased Speed — bonus to Speed
— Increased Endurance — bonus to Endurance
— Thrifty — reduces the amount of feed consumed in the feeder
— Fast Metabolism — restores more Energy while resting in the Stable
— Sweet Tooth — restores more Energy from Sugar Treats
— Strong Genes — foals inherit the horse’s coat color and at least the same tier/rarity
⚠️ Perk rarity is independent of the horse’s tier or rarity.
Types of Horses
There are two types of horses:
— Riding horses — best suited for traveling
— Draft horses — best suited for pulling a Wagon
Both types can be used for riding and transporting, but using the less suitable type will consume more Energy.
⚠️ Horses of different types cannot produce offspring.

Possible rarities by tier:
— Tier 3: common, uncommon, rare
— Tier 4: common, uncommon, rare
— Tier 5: common, uncommon, rare, epic
