Farmville Helpers: Horse Paddock Guide!

The Horse Paddock is now available to breed more animals in FarmVille! Harvesting the horses inside the Horse Paddock counts towards Animal Mastery! And guess what? More horses in your Horse Paddock means more chances of finding adorable foals! Build your Horse Paddock and start growing these cute little animals today!

The Horse Paddock is the last of all seven new breeding buildings released.

Farmers with an Animal Trough will receive a message to replace it with a new Horse Paddock, Cow Pasture, Livestock Pen, Zoo, Pet Run or Wildlife Habitat. But do not fear, the Horse Paddock, the Cow Pasture, the Livestock Pen, the Zoo, the Pet Run, Wildlife Habitat, and other forthcoming breeding pens will offer you even more opportunities to claim Animals!

Note:Now that the new Horse Paddock is here, the Horse Stable will no longer be available in the Market.

Players will be able to keep their existing Horse Stable.
The old Horse Stable won’t produce foals for any new horses (but current horses will still produce foals that you can share).
Once the Horse Paddock is released, the first time you click an old Horse Stable, you’ll be presented with the option to trade-in all their old Horse Stables for an exclusive Horse and Animal Feed. If you decline, you’ll be presented with the offer again every once in a while.
To get foals that you can keep and share, place a new Horse Paddock! All foals can produce a foal in the new Horse Paddock!

Note: The following horses currently cannot be placed inside the Horse Paddock, but will be place-able very soon:

Candy Corn Pony
Spotted Pony
Mini Blackfire Horse
Skeleton Horse
French Unicorn Baby
Mini Unicorn
Purple Mini Unicorn
Mini Pegasus
Fairy Unicorn
Fairy Zebra

Breeding your Horse Paddock Horses:

You can breed a wide variety of Horse Paddock horses, such as horses, stallions, Clydesdales, minis, ponies, appaloosas, andalusians, Arabians, Belgians, percherons, pegasus’s, E-Questrions, unicorns, Hafingers, horse spectator, steeds, donkeys, nightmares, mustangs, mules, reitponies, and warmbloods.

You don’t need pairs of horses to find a foal; you just need one of any particular horse in your Horse Paddock to have a chance of finding its foal upon harvesting the Horse Paddock!

Placing the Horse Paddock:

You will need the following Building Materials to complete your Horse Paddock:

10x Log
10x Saddle
10x Bridle

There are four ways of obtaining Building Materials:

Free Gifts Tab – Send a Free Gift to friends to help them with their building
Click on green button “Ask for Part” – Send requests for parts to any friend once every four hours
Click on the green button “Complete Now” – Use Farm Cash to complete Building immediately
Click on the green button “Buy” – Use Farm Cash to obtain that specific part

This is what your Horse Paddock will look like once it’s completed:

Upon completing your Horse Paddock, you will receive one free Cream Draft Horse:

You can store up to 20 horses in each Horse Paddock that you own. Like Orchards, you can have more than one Horse Paddock on your farm and can choose which Horse Paddock you would like to use to store a specific Horse Paddock horse.

Clicking on the Horse Paddock gives you the option to:

Look inside
Apply Instant Grow
Move
Sell

You can view all your current horses inside your Horse Paddock, including Animal Mastery status and quantity, when selecting the “Look Inside” option. You can also use Animal Instant Grow which will be applied to all horses inside the Horse Paddock:

Horses that are qualified for the Horse Paddock but are not placed inside the Horse Paddock (whether you own these horses or not) appear translucent:

Some horses are available in the Market.

Harvesting your horses inside the Horse Paddock:

You will see a pink arrow above the Horse Paddock once it’s ready for harvest and an orange illumination around when hovering over:

When you harvest your Horse Paddock for coins and Animal Mastery, you have a chance to find a Foal! The more horses inside your Horse Paddock, the better your chances of finding a foal upon harvest.

To qualify to create a foal, a horse must be in the Horse Paddock from before 10% harvest progress until the Horse Paddock is harvested.

When you find a foal, you’ll have the option to share an extra one with your friends!

All horses produced by the Horse Paddock can be shared with friends via the Newsfeed! So keep a lookout in your Newsfeed for foals that you can claim from your friends!

You don’t need pairs of horses to find a foal from your own Horse Paddock; you just need one of any particular horse in your Horse Paddock to have a chance of finding its foal upon harvesting the Horse Paddock!

When you don’t find a foal upon harvest, you will find Animal Feed which you can use to feed Mystery Babies from breeding pens like the Cow Pasture, Wildlife Habitat, Pet Run, Zoo, and Livestock Pen!

Foals:

When you find a foal after harvest, you will be able to place the little baby on your farm. There will be a green illumination hovering over open areas on your farm:

After placing your new little baby on the farm, you will have eight options:

Grow Up! – Use Farm Cash to complete animal immediately
Move
Sell
Apply Instant Grow
Stay
Rotate
Pet
Store Item

Your foal will remain a baby unless you choose to ‘Grow Up!’ using Farm Cash.
Foals of horses who came from the Mystery Game can’t be grown up; these adult horses are exclusive to the Mystery Game and will have “Mystery Game Exclusive” in their menus when you click on the baby.

Don’t forget: To qualify to create a foal, a horse must be in the Horse Paddock from before 10% harvest progress until the Horse Paddock is harvested.
COMING SOON: Foal mastery!

When trying to move a horse, the appropriate Horse Paddock will illuminate in blue and then you can place inside:
