General Tips and Tricks 1

Getting 8 xp instead of 2xp for food and water task:

So what I have found so far... after you do the mini quest to get 4 water and 4 hay, you will notice that every time your horse drinks or eats you get 1 xp. What you might not have noticed is that if your hay and water isn't full, like 1 hay and 1 water each...and your horse maybe needs 4 hay and 4 water to get satisfied...every time you go to each hay or water you get 1 xp so you wind up with 8 xp instead of 2 xp by spreading it between the 4. Obviously you won't be able to do it as soon as you start your play for the day because all the hay and water will be full but use one of them then the next time you give him hay and water right after use the same one and the 2nd one.... then 1, 2, and 3... and so on... I wouldn't recommend getting more than 4 of each unless you have more than one horse but that's later.

Compost Bins (Main source of Money):

You should have atleast 1 of these to complete the first mini quest but this is actually the best source of income. In the store it says it is 100 dollars every 30 min but it's actually every 15 min! Besides this, so far the only other money maker is the guest house which costs 7500 to get and gives 500 dollars every 4 hours (so it says... haven't checked yet)... If you want a very steady income. Go through the tedious task of getting 1500 dollars to buy the compost and then saving up saving up to get another and another until you have 10! 10 gives you 100$*10composte*4=4000 dollars an hour if you come back to them every 15 minutes which is great. You could keep going and get up to 20 compost if you want and get 8000 an hour!?! Up to you.

Treats:

First of all treats are not mandatory. You can always chose to skip it for free. It doesn't prevent them from doing any actions and I have won 1st place in competitions without them having treats so I wouldn't waste that much money on it in the beginning till you have a steady income from the compost bins. Also as your horse ages it will want more and different kinds of treats that you might not be able to afford in the beginning so just ignore it and keep building up your money.

Horse Ageing:

Ok so there are 4 main horse levels 0 when it is born... and then 4 retired. When it is 0 it can't compete and when it is 4 it can't compete because it is too old however it can always do the petting zoo so you can get money off of the horse even if it's too old for competing. It can do a maximum of 24 points (meaning going through all the steps with it brushing water food compete or train). After it reached 24 it caps and just is retired and can't do anything except petting zoo from what I know now. 

Hay and water Glitches:

If you run out of food from all your hay and you have to wait a few seconds until another hay is available, you won't be able to click on it. You will have to restart the browser. This is just a problem in the game itself and will probably be fixed in the future. Just restart if this happens to you and it's fine.
