Some Info About Howrse
Time For Your Horse
The Horse's Day:
The horse has its own day, which is not our real day. The history of the day is on the left of the horse's page. A horse's day starts at 8 a.m. when the horse wakes up. Then each action that you have the horse carry out takes a set amount of time. For example, meals take 30 minutes.
Your horse must be put to bed before midnight (horse time), after which time horses can no longer carry out actions. The only exception is foaling, which can happen at any time. To keep a horse in top shape, you should put it to bed no later than 10 pm.
When your horse's day is over, you need to put it to sleep. You have 2 choices: put it in the meadow or leave it in its box. You'll have to decide depending on what the weather's like on Howrse (for example, don't leave it in the meadow if it's less than 10°C (50°F) out.)
You do not need to put foals that are with their Dam to bed. They go to sleep when you put their Dam to bed. Make sure to take good care of both of them.
Aging:
Once a horse is put to bed, you can age it. To do this without waiting for the next day, you need aging points. You will find these as you make your horse carry out actions (it is then indicated in the history). Otherwise, you can buy ten aging points with a pass.
When the horse wakes up, a new day starts. On Howrse, horses age two months at a time.
There are two items available on the black market that allow you to override these rules:
If you have no more aging points, your horse will age automatically every day. You must remember to put it to bed before leaving the game.
If you have not had your horse carry out actions, it will not age automatically during the night. This means that your horse does not age when you do not play with it.
After its 25th birthday, your horse gets old: its health and skills decline. If you take good care of it, it can live up to a maximum of 35 years. If you get the Philosopher's Stone, your horse becomes immortal and its skills never decline.

Weather and Seasons
On Howrse, weather conditions and temperature vary every day. Weather information is available on the top-right of every page. You must take it into account when you decide where you will put your horse to bed and also for the crops of your equestrian center.
On Howrse, the seasons last one week. Fall starts on the first day of each real month. As it lasts 1 week, on the 8th day of the month Winter begins, on the 15th day Spring arrives, and on the 22nd Summer starts. Summer lasts until the end of the real month in progress, and then the cycle of seasons starts all over again the next month.
The temperature is associated with the season in the game, and so is the amount of grass in the meadow. Grass is abundant in the fertile meadows in the Spring and Summer, but becomes scarce in Winter.

Rankings
In each ranking page, you can view your ranking by using the link "Display my position in the rankings" located at the top of the page. Use the numbers in red or green with a - or + character in front of them to assess your day-to-day progress.
General ranking
The ranking of the horses
Because all the horses are not necessarily lucky in competitions, they may also be ranked according to their skills, overall or by a specific skill. You will therefore find a ranking for each skill.
You can also filter the ranking of the horses by breed and thus see the best individual of each breed.
In each of these rankings, you may display the position of your own horses and monitor their progress.
The horse victory ranking
The horses are ranked according to their results in competitions. There is a general ranking and a ranking for each type of competition (trot, gallop, cross-country, show jumping...). The horses with the most impressive amount of victories are obviously great champions with outstanding abilities but also horses whose trainers have managed their careers wisely.
Creation Ranking
General ranking
- The general ranking of the players
- The ranking by seniority
- The popularity ranking, which is calculated according to the number of visits by different players on the previous day. There is no point in trying to increase a player's ranking by visiting his or her profile several times, as only one visit will be taken into account.
- ranking: richest breeders
- ranking: breeders with the most horses
- ranking: breeders who won the most competitions the night before

Safety
For the safest game experience, there are a few basic rules to always remember:
- never give anyone your password,
- do not sign up on sites that say they will give you free passes; these are fraudulent sites that will steal your account,
- choose a password that's difficult to guess
Account Sharing
You can allow your family or friends to log onto your account and take care of your horses. Very handy for renewing your boarders or contracts and changing the bedding at your equestrian center when you go on vacation. Simply contact a trustworthy friend or family member you have authorized to co-manage your account, so that they can log on with your identifier and their own password! This way, they have limited access to your game. They can take care of your horses, but they can never delete your game, equestrian centers, or breeding farms, nor can they sell your horses.
Warning, co-management of your account should not be entrusted to someone you do not know. Any undesired activity on your account by a co-manager remains your responsibility.
You may only share your account when you are away. Another player cannot connect to your account while you are still logged in.
