Once you have arrived onHorse Isle, the first thing you'll want to do is get a horse of yourown.

Just as in real-life, horse-keeping is not inexpensive!Acquiringa HorseThere are several ways to acquire a horse on Horse Isle.Leasing.If you are a brand new player, this is probably the best option foryou, until you earn a bit of money. There are two hack stables (alsoknown as livery stables, rental barns and so on, depending upon whereyou live) on Horse Isle: one in the town of Earton (the first townyou will encounter when you debark the boat from Welcome Isle), andone in Appleton, a town on the southern end of Horse Isle.Leasing stables look like small paddocks (at left), and will rentout a horse for one game day (2 real hours) for a nominal fee. Thesehorses are already tacked up, groomed and shod; but since they arenot your own, you may not enter competitions with them, nor shoe nordo many of the other things you can do with a horse of your own.Also, when you lease, you lease whatever breed of horse is available;you do not get to choose. So consider wisely whether you would liketo lease a horse at first, or save your money to buy one of your own(remember that you will need to buy tack as well before you canride).Buying directly from another player.
