I have 12,932...

3,091 myself. I guess I"m on the tiny end of medium? lol

I have 7000.

I have 137 in breedable horses
and 45 in just showing for a grand total of 182 .... Yah I am tiny tiny by regular standards :)

I have 5141.

Barns, you need barns. And a foundation rescue line. :D

I currently have around 1500 horses total. I still feel like I have a smaller barn.

Not criticizing/calling you out here but I want to point out that thinking you can't advance in the game because you can't afford real life spending is a myth. I want to nip it in the bud so new players don't think it has to be that way.

A brand account has 25,000 hbs. At the moment I am giving away a 15 stall barn and 25,000 to ever new account so that is 50k and 35 stalls per for each new user.

Simplest way to make money is to create and dump in the auction (auctioning yields a net profit because of the lottery) it's not guaranteed and is a grind so I will move past that.

With 50k you can create 20 mares. Mares standing public at 1500 to 2000 hbs are always used up as et recip mares by the end of breeding season. That is 30,000 to 40,000 in guaranteed income every single month. In addition these mares an be shown and earn points.

With in one season you now have enough money to fill the 15 stall barn. (faster if you watch for deals on the sales board).

With that barn full you make 52k to 70k per season, that is enough to buy a new 15 stall barn every single season.

You should off of that income be able to add additional barns and mares every season (including filling your pasture for extra income) and with in a few seasons be making enough money to buy a basic upgrade (only 375,000) with ease.

None of this even factors in points from showing or weekly pay or anything else. No it's not the most fun way to play the game but there is no reason why a player can't dedicate a percentage of their income each season to expansion and building passive returning income. If someone really wants to have a big barn they can do so, having real life money has nothing to do with it.


Find a profit stream and just keep investing in it until you build what you need.
(also a good lesson for making money in real life too)

The game is all about patience and long term planning.

Or...you can pay "impatience taxes"...also know as "infusions". Which Ammit doesn't mind for sure, but are not needed.

The person in the game with the most stalls (not including primary barn) has 24,275 stall slots. They paid for with real money a grand total of *get this* 180 of those stalls. Over 24,000 of those stalls where purchased with IVs. So yep the idea they you much have real money to have a giant barn is a total myth.

Whoops, I currently have 1976 horses :o
(And haven't done much breeding yet...)
1892 of them are stallions or mares :p But they can show as well!

I have never spent any real money on this game (yet? ;P). I've wanted to many times but unfortunately I don't have a credit card so I can't. But even if I could, it isn't necessary at all!

I must say I can play the game the way I want without paying too much attention on my money (sometimes I'm tight but I never get real broke), and I can expend my barn every season (wich is necessary because more horses = more foals worth keeping xD). I currently have 65 add on barns, most of them 15 stables, but the last few seasons I only bought 30 stalls or 60 barns.

It's just a matter of not overspending (why breeding with a 500k stud when you can breed with a similiar stud for like 10k or something [good searching]) and keeping in mind that there are many ways of making profit. Showing, but also just breeding your own horses to auction them off (which is what I do sometimes when tight on money), or putting up horses for breeding that you don't use yourself or wouldn't mind being used by others.
What helps for me personally is also keeping a limit, like saying I don't want to get any lessthan 750.000 hbs on my bank account.

And then you'll have money left so that you can buy more stables and thus more horses and thus make more money!

I'm curious why 75% of your stock is breeding stock, Forestshadow. Do you not keep your spays/gelded foals? Because that's where the money is. They're create-and-forget horses. Stick them in a barn as babies and turn on auto-shower/hit the 'enter all' button as often as you can and otherwise ignore them.

That's how you make money.

I wrote a really long essay for the old forums about how the secret to having $$ in this game is to have more horse. Since the showing system was revamped, that's about 500 times more true now than it was before.

Altered or neutered is the term you want. Speld is not a real word. :)

If you prioritize show stock over all those breeders you would have enough hbs to have barns :)
