How To Purchase A Career Center
To begin adding more Career Centers to your stables, locate the Construction store from the ‘Market’ dropdown menu.
Once you have have arrived at the Construction store, you will see a series of tabs. Click ‘Careers’ in order to view Career Centers available for purchase.
If you see a white button beneath the Career Center that says ‘Purchase (Not Enough Acreage)’, this means you will need more land to accommodate an additional Career Center. Below is an example of what this will look like if you do not have enough acreage.
If you need additional acreage, you can navigate over to the ‘Land’ tab and opt to purchase the next available acreage lot as seen below.

FAQ
⁉️ What if I do not have an upgraded account and have reached my max on how much land I can buy? You can choose to demolish structures like stalls or your show arena to free up room. This will return bits at a partial price of the strucutre but never full cost.
⁉️Once I have purchased new career centers, is there anything else I need to do to start using them, like purchasing certifications similar to Training Arenas (Note: Training Arenas are available to upgraded players only)? Nope! Just make sure you have your horses’ working paths set correctly so they appear accordingly, otherwise you are all set as Career Centers come ready to use!
⁉️Can other players use my career centers? At this time, no, but could be a great future idea!
⁉️Do I have to own all career centers? Not at all! Career centers are optional and up to your discretion.
⁉️Do I need certifications for Career Centers like I do for Training Areas (Note: Training Arenas are available only to upgraded players) No, Career Centers come fully ready to use!
⁉️Does it matter what breed or horse I use at which Career Center? It depends! Read more about Careers and finding the optimal path for your horses here.
⁉️Help! I can’t career my horse(s)! There are a few common reasons as to why your horse may not be appearing under your Career center or available for work.
1. Make sure the horse is personality tested. Read more about Personalities and how to test for them here.
2. Double check that the horse has ‘Career’ set as a working path.
3. If ‘Career’ is set as the working path and your horse is still not showing as available, check that you have selected a Career path for the horse. See the above linekd page on Personalities for more information.
4. Does your horse have energy? Careering requires at least 20% energy to send a horse to work.
5. Is your horse frozen? If a horse is frozen, it will not appear as available to work.
6. Is your horse in Transport? Once boarded whether at another facility or your own Boarding Center, it should appear.
Still not seeing your horse(s) populate after the above troubleshooting? Check the ‘Bug Box’ to see if this is an ongoing bug.
If it is not an active bug, BEFORE submitting a report, please navigate to either the HoFa Official Discord Help channel to troubleshoot OR to the Forum Help Page. If it’s confirmed as a bug, you can submit as a bug report!
⁉️Why do players recommend putting horses into Careers as a way for New Players to get started? You can earn money by sending a horse to ‘work’ for you at the Model Horse Career Center at no charge, so you are always earning a profit each time the horse works. When showing horses in discipline or halter shows, not only is it more expensive, you run the risk of losing money if your horse doesn’t place well. This is the “safest” bet while you are getting started.
