Rivershine Ranch

## Information

Rivershine Ranch is your very own ranch that you are able to upgrade in order to build your desired stable! Whilst there are further features planned for in the future, we still are able to access the full experience of owning our own ranch and horses. You can visit your ranch anytime by using the Rivershine Ranch located on the far West of the Town.

## Facilities

Our ranch has many facilities needed to care for your horses, breed horses and to save your gameplay before logging off.

### The Stable + Horse Care

Our stable will originally hold 2 stables yet has the potential to upgrade to 12 later in the gameplay after unlocking Pine Forest. To care for your horses you will have to enter the stall of your horse, and press f to access horse information.

Within this tab you can feed, groom and accessorize your horse as well as cleaning out their stall. Horse care is important to maintain your horses health, care, satiety and to build trust with your horse. If you hover your mouse over each tab it will provide you the information on how to maintain each bar.

Located on the right of the entrance to the stable you can access the stable manager which will allow you to alter your horses stalls, send them to the pasture, send them to the stable etc.

### Pastures + Fertility Pasture

Similarly to the stable, the pastures can also be upgraded when unlocking Pine Forest. Pastures are beneficial for your horse as it will maintain its food better than in the stable. However, keeping a horse in the stable will not allow the horse to refill the entire energy bar. You can access your main pasture through the gate at the end of your stable or through the side gate near the entrance of Rivershine Ranch.

**Fertility Pasture**
The fertility pasture is another upgrade however, this will allow you to take two horses and breed them. You will not be able to breed a horse if they are sick so ensure you maintain their health.

To breed your horses you must interact with the gate and you can select two horses (mare and stallion) and you must leave them in the pasture overnight. At the bottom of the screen you will see a percentage which highlights how likely your mare is to become pregnant. Ensure you check back in the morning as if they are not pregnant you may be required to breed them again.

### Farming

Beside your house you have the opportunity to plant your own crops. For this you will need seeds which you can acquire through foraging or by purchasing them from Aisha in Lupine Meadow.(link to page)

When planting a seed it will inform you of its statistics including: how long it takes to grow and which seasons it is able to grow in. You can check back on the plant where it will tell you how many days are left or you can use fertilizer to reduce the time / to increase the amount received when gathering the plant.

Farming is a great way to earn coins especially with grains as they have a higher selling price.

### House

Our house has very few features as of right now however, it is a very important feature for the game. Within your house you are able to sleep and customize your character. It is vital that before logging off you sleep as sleeping is the current way to save your gameplay. Sleeping will obviously skip time to the next day where you may be informed of quests available once walking out the door.

To customize your character you are able interact with the wardrobe featured in your house. Here you will receive the same options that were available when first creating your character. This means you can customize your hair or outfit everyday if you wish.

### Arena

To begin with, you will only have access to the outdoor arena located across from the stable. However, there is an additional purchase available for your arena in which you can unlock an indoor arena. Currently purchasing the indoor arena does not affect your training however, it is expected that in future updates training in the indoor arena will assist with training.

Our home arena works the same as other arenas where we are able to select any courses previously bought with River.

### Upgrades

All upgrades listed in the above categories can be purchased through Liam Flinn after unlocking Pine Forest. View (page link) for a list of upgrades and costs.
