How To Play HWO

Horse World Online is a complex game and simulation where you can own, train, show, and breed your own horses as well as much more. Here are a few game-playing tips that will have you succeed on Horse World Online.

* You start the game with $10,000. Be careful how you spend it as you can run out quick! How much money you have left can be seen in the upper right-hand corner of your computer screen. You can view transactions if you go to the Bank.

* There is NO allowance on the game. You can make money by selling horses and other items. In the future you will be able to work at a job such as being a stable hand.

* You can get your first horse by either importing one, or buying one that is for sale in the horse search.

* You can purchase feed at the Feed Mill, Books at the Book Store, and Tack at the General Store.

* To put a horse up for sale, you will need to enter an amount you want for it and check off the box that says this horse is for sale. You can also select allow bids if you are willing to let players bid on the horse instead of buy it for the price you have it for sale at. This is found on your horse’s page. Once you have entered the necessary information, click save or update horse. This will put your horse up for sale.

* IMPORTANT!!! – You have a limited amount of hours to do “work” in your stable – training your horses etc. You can basically do work from 7am till 7pm on the game. You also have limited amount of days each Real Life day on HWO to use those hours to do work. When you run out of hours in a day, you will need to click on the Sleeping Sun to advance to the next day to be able to have more hours. THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOUR HORSE OLDER. You start out with 10 days and then when you run out, you will get another day every half-hour real-time that goes by. You can also get more hours in a day by hiring stable help - a feature to be added later.

* In order to breed a new breed, you will need to actually own the book for the breed you are breeding for. This is a requirement programmed into the game.

* Horses MUST be trained for the event a Show is running in order to be able to enter.
