Setting up and running an equestrian center is one of the key attractions of Howrse as a game because things become significantly more enjoyable and engaging once the center has been setup. A properly setup equestrian center basically marks the point at which someone becomes an advanced level player in Howrse and, with our help, we’re certain that you’ll have your own center up and running with absolutely no trouble at all.

It’s important to remember that, order to have an equestrian center of your own in Horwse, you’ll need at least 20 days of seniority but, if you don’t fit this criterion and still want to set one up, you can do so by purchasing the business key in exchange for two passes. Upon finally getting your equestrian center, you’ll have 25,000 equus to start off and it’s highly recommended that you invest this right. The optimal way to start off would be to purchase 6 boxes, 10 carrot seeds, 6 wheat seeds with all the rest going to fertile meadows. Once all this has been set up, you’ll be well on your way to running an effective and proper equestrian center.

It’s important to highlight that you’ll need bedding for each one of your boxes and, while the wood chip bedding might seem like a good bargain, it’s definitely recommended that you buy something higher-end for your boxes such as straw bedding at the very least or flax bedding if you feel like raising your center’s prestige as high as possible. Bedding may not seem like an important decision to many but, again, we urge players to go for a higher-end bedding if they have the funds necessary to do so.

Each individual equestrian center needs employees to function optimally and, of course, this will be the case with your center as well. First of all, you’ll need a groom who’ll change the bedding of your horses. A single groom can manage up to 20 boxes so, if you have more boxes than 20, you’ll need to add more grooms. After the groom is the horse riding instructor who, as the name suggest, will be giving lessons and a single instructor can manage up to 30 boxes. After these two, you’ll also need a farrier and a saddler who provide horseshoes and saddles respectively. You don’t need more than one of each of these roles no matter how big your center is.

All said and done, as long as you execute the aforementioned tips properly, you should be able to set up a pretty effective equestrian center with a lot of room for growth. After setting up your center, though, you’ll need to run it which is an entirely different challenge of it’s own that we’ll be covering in another article.
