๐ Horse
Horses are utility animals that can be obtained by building a Stable for 10,000g and 100 Hardwood from Robin’s Carpenter Shop. They don’t produce any items but serve as fast transportation around your farm, town, and other areas. Horses dramatically increase movement speed and can be ridden through most terrain, making them invaluable for efficient farm management and exploration.
When mounted, horses provide approximately 30% faster movement speed than walking and can traverse rough terrain more easily. They represent the practical, utility side of farm animals – focused purely on making your daily tasks more efficient and enjoyable.
๐ Care & Maintenance
Horses require a Stable to live in and need daily feeding and care to maintain their friendship level. Unlike other farm animals, horses serve a purely functional purpose as transportation rather than producing sellable goods.
- Requires Stable building (10,000g + 100 Hardwood from Robin)
- Must be fed hay or grass daily
- Pet daily to increase friendship and bond
- Can be ridden across most terrain types
