Where to buy
Go to the breeder in town and choose Buy Horse. Select a horse to open its card, read the offer, then use Buy Horse on that card.
The breeder also separates Sell Horse, Board Horse and Cover Mare. If a listing seems missing, check that you opened the right menu.
Read the card
Compare the individual asking price with:
- Current strength and endurance
- Potential ranges for both stats
- Confidence
- Age in in-game days
- Listed traits
- Available stable or boarding space
Current values show what the horse can do now. Potential ranges estimate room to develop; they do not guarantee that the upper end will be reached.
What prestige changes
Breeder stock becomes more capable as prestige rises, but the available potential caps at a certain level. A perfect-stat horse still has to be produced through your own breeding programme rather than bought indefinitely from the town breeder.
Use the displayed stock as the practical guide. Do not assume that a low-prestige visit and a high-prestige visit offer the same horses.
Match the horse to the job
There is no universally best horse. Decide what you need:
| Goal | Useful focus |
|---|---|
| Enter a competition soon | Current ability, confidence and a manageable temperament |
| Develop a long-term prospect | Potential, age and trainability |
| Breed for appearance | Coat, markings and parental traits |
| Produce sale stock | Balanced potential and a realistic market |
Breeding stallions shown in the covering menu are not necessarily for sale under Buy Horse.
Before you confirm
Check accommodation and budget for feed, care and treatment. A reserve option may appear, but a fixed reservation fee, holding period and full conditions are not established.
If the purchase is blocked, read the displayed reason. Compare your money with the price, then check stable or yearling capacity before assuming the game is broken.
