A Special Note
If you’ve gotten this far congrats! Most people tend to not read my extensive collection but I’m glad you did. If you find yourself wondering what to do first I suggest following these steps:
- First, you’ll need a horse but Helix has given you a coin and you’ve created one already. If you haven’t there’s a breed coin in your storage room (Account>Storage Room) to design a horse.
- Go to your “In Transport” and click your horse.
- On their profile page click the edit icon in the top right. It’s the pencil!
- Select a nice name for your horse and then a discipline.
- Once discipline is selected pick a boarding center. I highly suggest picking one with FULL board. Makes care easier for you. Be sure to note that price though.
- Click save in the top right corner, it’s the checkmark.
- TADA! You are now ready to train or show your horse.
Beyond that short list of how to situate your horse, there’s plenty on my documentation that you can read to learn more. Everything above is a quick glance at everything with links and such. But hey, there’s tons more to know and it’s worth wandering around here.
