Each player gets their own ranch. Various buildings and greenery can be placed on this ranch. It is also possible to
change your ranch type, so that you can earn coins or specify what kind of ranch you have.
You can choose what type of ranch you want to have. Some ranch types give extra income. You always start with a private stable. The higher you get in the levels, the more ranch types become available.
You can always change your ranch type to another type, as long as you choose a ranch type you've already unlocked.
Private stable
When you're just starting out, your ranch is a private stable. This means that only you can use the buildings on your ranch. However, you can have other players muck out stables for you.
Your ranch is set as a private stable by default when you start, so a private stable is available from level 0.
Studfarm
The ranch type called 'studfarm' has a nice feature in the game. Once you set this ranch type, you can make 5 studs available through the stud system. A player can rent a stallion by paying, and if the stallion is not used within 24 hours, the owner can take it back without paying you back.
You can set up a stud by going through the following steps:
1) Go to the profile of the stallion you want to set as a stud.
2) Go to the 'Breeding' tab.
3) Set your horse as a stud by setting the stud price to your chosen amount.
If you need the stud yourself at some point, it is wise to not set the stallion as a stud for that time. This prevents the stallion from being on loan exactly when you need it yourself.
How do I borrow a stallion through the stud system?
1) Go to the
search page (there is a search bar at the top of your screen) and click on 'Show all search results'.
2) Select gender: select stud and fill in your other search criteria
3) Choose the stallion of your choice and go to its profile
4) Go to the 'Breeding' tab and click 'I pay x coins stud fee and rent this stallion'. A loan session with the stallion will then be started automatically.
5) Go to your own pasture and put the stud in the pasture with the right mare within 24 hours
The stud farm is available from level 8 onwards.
Riding school
The riding school is a ranch type that allows other players to use the buildings on your ranch. If you have a riding school, other players can take lessons here to get their user stars. You earn coins by doing this.
You can change your ranch into a riding school from level 19 onwards.
Pony club
A pony club is a type of ranch where other players can use the buildings on your ranch. If you have a pony club, other players can rent a lunging circle, horse walker, indoor arena or outdoor arena to train their horses. This earns you coins.
You can change your ranch type to a pony club from level 28.
