I bought the game back in 2019 pre-release where you could get it for "free" if you purchased 2.7 (if I'm remembering correctly). I actually purchased it right before a family trip to Yellowstone! I rarely played because I had limited access to a PC, and just started playing regularly in 2026 because I got a new computer. I thought I was a beast with my 253 hours because I'd never played a game that much before, but I just met someone in a social server who has over 2000! I guess I learned I am an amateur gamer at best, lol. How many hours do you have?

Basically, the original mated pair passed, and I want to make one of the siblings of the wolf I'm currently playing as a playable wolf. He's saved as a 1yo in the original family tree but is currently 2 in game and I'm wondering if there's any way to play him as a 2yo, since I can't access him in the current family tree, or if I have to use the 1yo save. Or is there any way to update a dead wolf's family tree? Thanks!

I've been riding for 7 years and am finally coming to a point where I can purchase my own horse. The only hang up—the horse I'm currently enamoured with is 3 and obviously green. So, I want a wide range of opinions on whether or not I'm ready to own a green 3yo. Firstly, some details, the horse will be kept at a boarding barn where my trainer resides. Secondly, I'll be paying for additional private lessons with the horse every month and potentially also paying extra for my trainer to work on him personally. Third, he's papered, gorgeous, and reasonably priced. I plan to use him for barrels, and his full brother is a 1D barrel horse. Lastly, I know this is controversial, but he is already broke under saddle, so I did ride him when we met. Obviously, he's green, but he's broke. He responds to verbal cues but is slower to pick up and maintain speed. I think this is both a strength and training issue and although I prefer a horse who is more sensitive to cues, he's only a baby and this is something that can probably be developed over time. My plan with him is to train him for at least 2 years at my barn before even considering taking him to expos and races. He won't be started on the pattern immediately, either, and I won't ride in excess due to his still developing frame. I love his personality, and I know he'll be a lot of work, I just don't know if I'm up to it. I know that no one else can make this decision for me, but I wanted to gauge some opinions outside of my family and trainer. Thanks for your input!

I tried posting to a group, as I was watching the blue posting bar load across my screen, I was suddenly redirected to the home page. In my activity log it says I left the group, when I search it it doesn't come up, and when I click outside links to it I'm shown a page that says "Content unavailable". What happened? What do I do?

For the past two years as I window shopped online, it seemed like there was an abundance of perfect horses for me. Fit my price range, w/in my area, met my qualifications, etc. But now that I'm actually able to purchase a horse, there are few and far between. 😂 It seems like every horse that meets my criteria and has been listed since march or april suddenly sells as soon as I stumble across them. I'm a bit of a stickler in that I am refusing to buy without a trial ride and PPE, which seems to be a HUGE barrier, so any tips would help. What was your experience buying your first horse like? (P.S, I'm in the Texas hill country, so if anybody knows a horse in the area needing somewhere to relocate feel free to DM haha.)
