Advertisements reported on Sep 28, 2022

Premium Currency reported on Sep 28, 2022
The game has a currency called Equestrian Coin or E-Coin. You can get it for free, in very small amounts, by logging in daily but the primary way of obtaining it is by paying real money.
Pay to Skip reported on Sep 28, 2022
Horses have energy that is used up when training, competing, and breeding. It regenerates over time but you can also use carrots (an in-game currency) to skip the regeneration period & immediately refill their energy. The game gives you a set amount (determined by the level of your Silo building) of free carrots each day. If you run out of them and still want to skip the regen period you can then purchase more using the paid in-game currency.
Wait To Play reported on Sep 28, 2022
Training horses in the Riding Hall makes the horse unavailable for a period of time ranging from 3 Minutes to 8 hours, this can be skipped using premium currency. Breeding horses makes the mare unavailable for her gestation period, the exact length of time is determined by the level of your breeding facility. For example my level 5 facility has a gestation period of 3 days and 14 hours.
Artificial Scarcity reported on Sep 17, 2022
The horse market resets every couple hours, meaning "if you see a horse you like, don't hesitate to buy it, it'll be gone soon!"
Fear of Missing Out reported on Sep 17, 2022
The horse market system is designed so you may check in multiple times a day.
Badges / Endowed Progress reported on Sep 17, 2022
