Pony Friends/In the field

Use the "Move to field" menu to move your pony from the stable to the field. To go back, use the "Move to stable" option. The field is where you should keep your pony overnight or for long periods of time. It is important to have your pony clean (brushed, washed, and hoof care) before you move them to the field. If they are not cared for and clean, they will get sick. If any pony is sick in the field, it will quickly spread to the rest of the ponies in the field. Sickness left untreated will get worse quickly. It costs a lot of money to cure horses, so keep them clean – unless you are trying to quickly get the Pony Nurse game goal medals – but be prepared to spend a lot on medicines.

Tap the name of pony to check its stats or do field related activities with the horse. Ponies will perform tricks in the field if they are clean, happy, and not tired. The more fitness, style, and speed your pony has then the more advanced tricks your pony will perform. Tricks don’t appear to make the pony tired. The info icon shows the complete stats of each horse including awards. This is also where you can donate a horse.

Call over
The field is also where you give medicines, feed your horse, increase friendship with your horse, and watch them in the field. Click the Call Over Icon to begin.

Feeding your horse may or may not be a challenge. A horse may not eat if it is unhappy. Sometimes the horse eats the food but not quickly enough. The food will disappear and you will get hearts around your horse, but it will not count as being fed and will actually lose friendship with you. To make sure the horse is really feeding, you need to quickly get its favorite food out of the bag on the right (after you called horse over) and put it near its muzzle. The horse will hopefully raise its muzzle and start eating the food. If the horse gets done and you see the hand icon again before the hearts appear, then it should have counted as being fed. It may take a little to do it quick enough, but just keep trying. No food will be lost if it didn’t work, but the friendship probably went down so just pet the pony successfully a few times to bring the friendship back up. The horse’s favorite food is shown next to their name in the Info Icon.

Medicines (flu and stomach) are given the same way as feeding favorite food, but will come from the left bag and are easier to give. All medicine and food need to be bought at the store.

Pet your pony
Petting your pony will increase friendship. Call the horse over and place the stylus next to, but not on, the pony’s head. Move slowly if it is a new or shy horse. Move the stylus between the horse’s eyes and ears and move with your hand with the movement of the head of the horse. Soon you should see hearts float up from around the horse. If they are not broken hearts, then you did it right. You may also pet the neck. Touch other areas on the horse to make it turn slightly to the left or right. When your horse decides to go back to the field it will stretch its head low to you and/or bow to you and then trot off if it likes you. If the friendship is low, it may just trot off. You can repeat petting as many times in a row that you want. Use the hearts slider bar in the Info Icon to check friendship levels – it's best if it is all the way to full heart on right.
