Normal Games (in pounds)
Tested and guaranteed to have a 1.20 GP gain! If a mistake is made, you’ll get below the 1.20 gain.
Note: carrots, impeccable meadow, high morale, and a box for the night are needed. You will go to 24:00 on the last day of games and a day of rest is needed once the games are completed. Your horse may need a diet afterwards as well. Good luck!
QUICK TIP: If you are worried of running out of energy, stroke an Xanthos. Make sure that the foal you are playing with is the horse with the lowest energy. Don’t try to play extra games with extra energy – you may run out of time (which will drop the energy for the next day).
Maybe wait another real-life day to train the foal again so you can use the extra energy from the Xanthos again.
8 MONTHS :
1h30 pasture / groom / 7h playing / turnip / 1h playing / stroke / Carrot / Drinking / 2h pasture / Feed 7 lbs
10 MONTHS :
1h30 pasture / groom / 1h playing / 1h pasture / 1h playing / turnip / Feed 7 lbs / 7h playing / stroke / Carrot / Drink
1 YEAR :
1h30 pasture / groom / 8h playing / Carrot / Drink / 1h playing /stroke/ turnip / 1h pasture / Feed (what’s needed)
1 YEAR 2 MONTHS :
1h30 pasture / groom / 9h playing / turnip / 1h playing / stroke / Carrot / Drink / Feed (min 10 pounds)
1 YEAR 4 MONTHS :
30mn pasture / groom / 1h playing / Feed 9 lbs / 9h playing / turnip /1h playing / stroke / Drink / Carrot
1 YEAR 6 MONTHS :
30mn pasture / groom / 1h playing / Feed (min 14 pounds) /10h playing / turnip / Carrot / 2h playing / stroke / Drink
So like if you do all the actions in the wrong order but you still do the correct amount of games will it work?
This is not possible. It would kill my horse any way you l;ook at it.
Thanks so much! Finally got this objective validated!
I used a standardbred and he gained 1.21 gp
the frog companion only took 80% of energy in 10hrs
@taytay No, it will not. Some actions need to be completed before others, such as stroking. Your horse will receive the highest energy gain if you stroke your horse when it is at/closest to 0% energy. If it was stroked at 20% energy, your horse won’t benefit as much. Another example is putting your horse in the meadow. It must be done when the horse is closest to 100% energy. If it is done near 0%, only .5% of energy may be given compared to 3%
@person It’s not impossible. I have completed this with my foals and the only difficulty is reaching 24:00 on the last day. Your horse will wake up with less energy/morale the next morning, but no training can be done either way. In order to get the 1.20 GP gain, your horse will need to work all those hours.
@Dibo13 Thanks for your results! Maybe the companion will affect the games…I’ll have to try it again with one of my foals and see if I get a different result.
Hey! Just wanted to say, I had a 1.20 GP increase with two of my foals (for the objective) with the old games schedule. Was there something wrong with the previous one, or is this just more efficient?
There was feedback saying that 110% of energy was required for completing some of the playing time. It must have worked okay for some breeds but not for others. This schedule should work fine for everyone.
I tried it with one foal and found out it needed %110 energy for one, but in that case the meadows were dirty, I don’t know if that matters, but I tried it with another foal of the same breed with the same companion and impeccable meadows and it was only 70ish percent energy.
9 hours took up too much engey with my cat.
@rose: what was the meadow conditions?
The old games worked fine with all breeds on my account. The problem with higher energy needed than the foal had was due to low morale when the games started. But that only happened a few times. For example a foal with 87% morale at 8 months needed somewhere around 15% energy for 1 hour, but a foal with 95% at the beginning of the day only needed 12-13%
@fishifreak thank you! I forgot about the morale affecting the games.
I tried the 10 month one exactly as it says and it only increased .18 not 1.20. I need help.
Hey! I have a really good foal that I want to try this on, but he is 10 months old. Will it still work if I start at 10 months, or can I start at 10 months and then do the 1 year 6 month one twice? Thank you!
You’ll need to continue to progress using the schedule. At the end, it will cumulatively give you a 1.20 GP gain.
@Blue Ribbon You can follow the schedule as normal, you will just have missed a few hours of playing, so you’ll get a slightly less GP gain. You cannot double up on any hours as there isn’t time/energy available. I suggest using a stall with a shower and impeccable meadows to try to lower the amount of energy needed for playing and try to add an extra hour in.
one of my foals can,t play for 9hrs with the cat companion because it takes 121% of energy. The meadows are impeccable and his moral is 100%
I used this on my horse Kinnison (http://www.howrse.com/elevage/fiche/?id=21473794) and his Chicken, but every time I did the directions in the order posted, every morning he’d wake up with very low energy and I’m not able to do the next day. Does it only work on a specific companion, or is it any?
Oops, when I said that he had a chicken companion, I meant a monkey companion. :P
hello jessica, can you please PM me @ GleeFinchel the answer to my question:
Is there a companion that is best to use for foal games?
thanks
i think the old games work better as i just tried it with my paint horse and the medows are impecibale and she couldnt complete all the games because the games used up to much energy does the companion make any differents? thanks :)
i think it matters on what the breed is because it didnt work on my paint but it did on my arabian who has a polour bear as a compaion does it matter what breed it is? thanks :)
@Dibo13 What is the breed of your foal and is there a shower installed?
Trying to figure that out now. ;)
Does anybody know which companion should be used for this schedule? My question is the same as GleeFinchel’s. My Howrse username is “Angela :D”. Please PM me or answer my question here if possible. Thanks!
Trying with a Aussie mare right now :)
OH!
Meadows: Impeccable
No shower :/
8 months:
I think it was used 6.5 % energy for 30 minutes of playing..
Made it all :)
But it is hard :( :( Made it like 10 times out of 20 :/
I tried to do this schedule, but 7 hr of playing was past 100 % of the horse’s energy.
I am using a sheep as my horse’s companion
What was wrong with the other foal games?
wHen my foal was 8 months i looked to see how how much energy it took ti plat for 10 hrs it was 121% too much but now when he in 1yr 6 months it only took 98%
You are saying 7lbs but the game is in KG. So is it actually 7kg or 3kg
There is a separate game schedule posted using kg
At 10 months I am up to where you need to play for 7 hours. I double checked and I have done everythin correctly, but my horse only has 46% energy. She has the griffin companion.
The same horse that I mentioned before can’t do 9 hours playing, as that takes up 105.3% energy. She has:
100% morale
Impeccable pasture
Sorry to post thrice.
Despite those two issues, it all worked out. I got my 1.2 gain, though one day I did games for 10 hours, groomed and then played again until 22.
Oh, jeez. Four posts. I actually did games for 10 hours, used a black orchid, groomed and then played again until 22:00.
I am doing this with my Shagya Arabian and when I did it with a hen companion, it did not make it.
I will try this with my foals…heaven knows I’ve been stuck for MONTHS!! XDXD
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I have had this Objective for months and I finally finished all of them!!! THIS SITE IS AMAZING! xD
Hey everybody just so you know I did this with a Goat for both horses and it worked…you all should just use that because it is a lot cheaper and is as good as any other companion! :)
For the year old games, i couldnt do 9hrs of play, It was 105 energy. The medows were at 100% too.
Alexis, did the EC your horses were in have a shower? I want to try this, but don’t know if i can do it without a shower. If anybody else knows, please comment/PM on Howrse. My username is “Angela :D”. Thanks!
This doesnt work for me. On the first day I do this-
1h30 pasture / grooming / 7h playing / turnip / 1h playing- but at an hour of playing it needs 13.6 energy. my horse only has 12. their fore I cant follow the schedul..
My foals always make it
and I always use the goat
~Breeds I’ve Used~
Standeredbred
Thorughbred
Arabian
Paint Horse
Chincoteague pony
Gypsy Vanner
Quarter Horse
Does it work on the new arabians?
ok i Cant get 8 hrs o=ta this foal ._.
I used these and found that in the first few months, a few of the feeding and putting in pasture actions at the end of the day were actually unnecessary. (Although I might have missed something – I didn’t check what her GP was before I started.)
These games worked perfectly for me! Thanks a lot, now I can skill my more advanced foals and get the full GP increase! Back in the game for me! :D
I did this and it worked pretty well. I don’t think it matters on the companions though. I boarded my foals at my own EC with a shower, and had impeccable meadows. Also Carrots. I have also heard that the foal needs 100% morale the day before starting the games….so I don’t really know. The companion for the first foal was a zebra, and second one was a monkey. I got the objective completed. Thank you!
um I have a couple of questions about this,first one is does it matter what companion your foal has? and where do you put them to bed? just curious because I’m stuck on the objective and want to try these :)
I did these games with my 83* purebred Arabian foal, Isabelle. The only thing I did different was an extra 1.5 pasture at 6 months, because I was afraid her morale was a bit low. Isabelle gained 1.21 instead of the normal 1.20!!!
Could you perhaps change “drinking” to “drink” and “feeding” to “feed” etc? It’s a little easier to read the way you had it before. Thanks for all your hard work!
I am going to try this. But I still like to do stuff my way because it works!
If anyone needs an EC with a shower to complete the foal games just pm me under the same name. I will reserve for you as soon as possible. Cecelia_9
Does it work if you have a goat and a fresian? Because I tried with a freisian and a sheep, but it didin’t work.
Just saying, it IS possible to get these hours of play without following this schedule… I actually got a 1.2 GP gain without doing any foal games at 6 months. (Yes I’m an idiot :P)
Hey, I used a goat and an arabian and it took a lot less energy than with the sheep and the fresian. I think that if you want to complete this objective, you should you a goat.
Thank you so much for posting this schedule! It worked for me with two arabian foals and a goat as their companion. I finally completed the objective! :)
I messed up on it with my Quarter horse foal Rebel. I hope I can make up for it by just doing games longer. P.s I am using a squirrel.
I agree – I updated it!
@Xan You cannot play with your foal at six months ;)
um, it is winter right now and i dont think that will give me enough feed for my foal?
Doing the games with my female friesian foal with a pheonix. So far things are going great! Just completed 10 months! (i’m “tmh” on Howrse)
Can we age our horses to speed it up or do we have to wait day by day?
the very first day (8 months) when i try to do the 7 hours of play it requires 108% energy-she has a griffin companion.
On my friesian at 1 yr 6 mnths, she finished the day at 15% energy! Is this supposed to happen?
I’m using the Pheonix companion
I have an 8mo old Half Akhal, half quarter horse colt with a butterfly companion. It would take 107.2% energy to do 7 hours of play D:
I used this on my GV foal and it worked fine. He has a rabbit companion. I find that it works better if I get their morale to 100% when they’re 6 months old by putting them in the field, as then they have a higher morale the next day?
I did this to mine and it worked and when I didn’t do it, the foal didn’t have enough energy :)
thank you sooo much for your useful guide!! :) i’m finally validating that quest at last.. lol :)
everyone feel free to add me, i’m Well2719
:)) thanks again!!
What about foals with an achilles heel? (you can put it to bed at any time and with low energy) Do I just shove in as many hours of playing as I can? LOL, because that;s what i’m doing, I’ll post my results.
Ooh, she has 91* and also a Philote’s Stroke, she’s a TB
Did it with a paint horse and a squirrel, worked fine for me.
*gasp* She didn’t even gain 1! She got 0.9!
Works great on my nakota and i mucked up the first day but got all the hours in still 1.20 gain :D
Now i’m doing my Nokota! 1yr 2mnths, everythins’ goin’ great!
*gasps* my nokota finished the last day with 16% energy!
-female nokota
-goat companion
-no shower
-100% morale
-impeccable meadows
Was my nokota supposed to finish the day with 16% energy?
LOL but I still got the 1.20 GP gain!
Yay! Objective 67 is overwith! In yo face, objective!!!
hi i have tried this set of steps several times but it has not worked because of the 7on the first day i can only get in at least 5. if you have any explanation for this i would greatly appreachiate it. my user name on the international is LightingCloud
taytay, all of the Nokotas I’ve gamed ended the last day fine, even without a shower.
For the guide for 1 year it says 8 hours playing, but when I tried that it said it woud take 106% energy, which my horse obviously wouldn’t have. Help please?
wont the foals get overweight, feeding them 7lbs? i want them healthy :)
@xForeverLovingKiki, IDK must of been something I missed.
I’ll just be happy I got the full gain! *victory dance*
I used a Swallow and it worked perfectly…:DD
The foal games I use are slightly different to those displayed here so I haven’t any experience of using these.
However what can say is that, for foal games, it doesn’t matter which companions you use, they all give the same amount of skill return.
The many of the key things have been stated by others before … so just to clarify a few points …
* At the end of the 6th month the foal must have 20+ % energy, 100% Health, 97+ % morale … This will ensure it wakes on the 1st day of foal training with the maximum energy, health and morale.
* Meadows must be 99-100% clean and 100% fertile
* showers are not necessary
* Follow a schedule strictly to the word …. if you deviate from a schedule, even slightly, it will most likely fail, so …
DO NOT give the foal more or less food than the schedule advises .. the weight of the foal will effect the consumption of energy and may ultimately cause the foal to go over/under weight
DO NOT do more training than is stated …. This is a temptation if you have a shower. It will leave you with energy & time left … A schedule should give you 1.2 gain at the end, that is the maximum gain, doing extra will not help and will adversely effect the foals weight the next day.
DO NOT panic, schedules will use the foals maximum energy to achieve the full 1.2gp … this means there will be times where your horse only has just enough energy … and of course, when the horse wakes at 1yr 8mths it will be down on energy, morale because it wasn’t bedded down at 22:00. There is nothing that can change that .. but it’s just a case of groom and meadows to return the horse to 100% morale.
Tip: Try to complete foal training in one go (using ageing points) . You will be more focused and less likely to make mistakes.
Tip Try to avoid winter …. bedding down in the box and worse, leaving in the meadow, below 10 degrees, can effect the morale and energy of the horse.
Tip: If morale is a problem, ask others to give your foal apples … after all, there’s no other use for them :o)
I hope this helps and I will post the version of foal games I use if you wish. I don’t want to complicate this post by adding them unless you are happy for me to.
Lastly, you can catch me under the same name on Howrse International, usually happy to help.
Good Luck
I used these foal games on my Friesian foal and his Zebra companion and it worked beautifully:-D Thanks so much:-D
at 1yr 6mo I recommend feeding min 18lbs rather than the suggested 14lbs this seems to guarantee that your horse will have more than 20% energy when it goes to bed.
Just so you know, this doesn’t work for Griffins. Before it did, but I’m working on a 1499 GP filly right now, and she’s 8 months old and the 7 hr playing takes 102% energy…
I Have tried foal games before.
They do not work.
What am I doing wrong???
If you could, please message me on howrse.
My name is hunter.
thanks so much:)
Wow, Pinchy Bird, that’s alot of information! Thanks for the tips
And of coarse, thank you Jessica for posting this really helpful foal games. For that matter, this really helpful site.
killed 2 Appaloosas
Cool this really helps thanks add me on the internatinal version as akjx20 and on the american version as BannerPony ;)
Mine didn’t validate! But it validated ‘Get in the top 1000 in Breeder or General Ranking! International ilovesilver:)2.
It didn’t work!!! :’(
I still have a copy of the old games because I printed them out and I find that they work fine still. The new games always result in an overweight horse…
I did it in the EXACT order. with a paint male and goat compainon.. Yet It still didnt validate my objective. Please help.
Ola que raça é ideal para o 1,20 para potros?
Boa Tarde!
I don’t follow this exactly and it still work. Like the feeding min. 14 lbs…I never do that and it still works out fine. I feed him what he needs and no more.
awwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!
i got 1.19GP rise this just ruins my day and its already been a bad one
I do believe that all of them are overfeeding, too.
I don’t use these games anymore. back to the old games, which underfeeds all the time except for 2 times (the last time is 14 pounds.)
I’m working on a shower + philotes stroke games adapted from the old games. Still figuring it out.
Thanks so much! Finally finished that objective C:
WOW, so much help.
Thanks a HEAP!!! :D
Woo hoo! 1.20 gain with Bella, my Appy/Shetty cross.
Something can’t be working right on these, because sometimes when I go, for the point of it 1 year and 2 months, the 9 hour playing says 111% energy use and yea that’s impossible, so how does that work then?
Fortunately for my I got the objective done and am just doing this with my foals for skills so I am lucky there :)
I used a Shetland/Appaloosa (shetland shows up) cross with a Zebra. 7 hrs of play took 105% so I had to cut off 1/2 an Hour.
Don’t forget that if the horse’s moral is low, then the energy required will be higher. That may be the reason it’s not working for some horses, make sure you have at least 98% morale.
Do you have to do all of the ages (8 months, 10 months… and so on) to get 1.20 GP gain? or just one?
Yes, you must follow the whole schedule through 1 year 6 months to get the full gain.
ok thanks! i was a little bit confused….:)
does it need to be 24:00 after every day of play?
No, never. You don’t want to go past 22:00 if you don’t have to as your horse will lose either energy, health, or morale. I believe the last day of the schedule ends at 24:00 but your horse will have the next day to get back to 100%.
Thank you so much! On 1year and 4months I kind messed up but a black orchid made up for it!
I got 1.20 gp gain and it was winter!
Thank you so much! This game chart worked. I have had this objective for more than 2 months! And for the people that say it takes to much energy it really works. Try for yourself.Thanks again Jessica! (:
I have a Australian pony filly who has a turtle for a companion, but this schedule won’t work for me because she doesn’t have enogh energy for the games. Should I try this schedule on a different foal, with a different companion? (I only have a dragon and a griffin in my companions inventory) My username on Howrse is CouchPotato, just in case. :)
@Couch Potato
The breed of the horses doesn’t matter at all. However, the companion may be the problem. Try using the hen. It’s perfect for me and I never go over 100 with the energy. They only cost 400 equus, so…
By the way, my username on Howrse is Illinois1999 . Please visit my page!
Ive tried six of these and i cant get it to work i followed it exactly and it didnt work Please Help!
I love this! Thanks soo much for putting it up! :) I never age a foal without doing the foal games now, I have saved this website under my tabs. I don’t see why people are saying that it’s killing their horses. All I can say is that they probably did it wrong, cuz I have done it to 20 or so of my purebred Friesians and it works with any companions i’ve used (Dog, Sparrow, Dragon, Cat, Frog, Turtle, Pheonix, and Griffin, sometimes sheep and stuff like that). Thank’s so much again :)
You might want to think about the morale status!!!!!!!!!!!
When i need to play for 7hr or 8hr it goes over 100% energy so it doesnt work for me :(
This worked brilliantly! I got a 1.40 gp gain! I used a swallow companion and my horse is a lusitano. I tried this on a lot of horses and the best is to choose companions with a low dressage bonus. That way they can play for long hours.( a zebra can as well, but the gp gain isn’t much. I only got 1.1)
It worked for the objective like magic, and Griffin companions on Arabian horses are a charm. However, usually when I do it the stars increase by one, and this didn’t happen…
Well this worked well… not! :(
I’ve had to juggle around some of the schedule for quite a few of my foals recently, usually it’s just that I need to drink before the 9 or 10h play towards the end of the schedule.
I have Friesians, Arabians and Shagya Arabians and various different companions. Arabians I can usually do just as you wrote, but Friesians I always have to juggle with and Shagya’s are mixed.
Hi,
Do this games work with the compaions for the play time
