Horses of Hoofprint Bay Stable Upgrades, Staff and Prestige

Building upgrades

Save money to upgrade buildings to fit more horses and better meet their needs. Advanced stages unlock new training courses, staff applications, and the breeding station lab. Backgrounds for the care area, riding arena and breeding station change with each upgrade level — from a shabby shack to a fancy barn — and your starting rusty trailer can become a mansion.

Capacity and boarding

• Up to 20 horses in a fully upgraded stable
• 13 yearlings in the yearling paddock
• Extra horses can be boarded at the breeder in town, as many as you can pay board for

(From the May 2026 dev update; the team noted numbers may change.)

Staff

As your herd grows, staff become essential for care and training. You can assign horses to staff for care, training and lessons. One example from the August dev update is Maria, a retired competition rider who tells you what to change during training.
