Tacking up a horse

For your horses to be able to compete from the age of 3, and you have to buy them a saddle and a bridle in the breeders' store. To be able to assign this equipment to a horse you have to take the stock to the saddlery. . Then on the saddlery page, you can select the horse to which you want to give this equipment. Different equipment offers different bonuses, and is intended for different purposes.

Black market saddles, both English and western, are available for your horse as well.

You can take the equipment off a horse to switch between English and western tack, or to give tack to another horse. The cost to remove equipment from a horse is 10 per saddle or per bridle removed. Black Market saddles are permanently assigned to only one horse, and cannot be removed

Looking after the equipment and its wear and tear

The equipment wears 2% a day. To reduce its wear and tear, you will find a duster cloth in the store. This can be used once a day to decrease the wear by 1% of any equipment found in your saddlery and that is assigned to a horse. If your horse wears a Black Market saddle, it does not wear.

Another way of reducing the wear of your equipment is to make use of the saddler if the center in which your horse is a resident employs one. Each saddle and each bridle can be repaired once, which removes half its wear. The repair is free.

The equipment that is in the saddlery but is not assigned to a horse does not wear.

Once it has reached 100% wear, the saddle or bridle disappears.

If your horse dies, you can remove the equipment assigned to it by going into the saddlery and thus using it for another horse.
