How to buy horses

Visit the town horse broker, read age, strength, endurance, and price, then choose Buy Horse. You need a parking space and a trailer to get there.

Town broker listing horses with ages and prices, official Steam screenshot

A new game starts with one horse chosen from ten starter mares. Those ten share age and stats and differ by coat, which is why they stay in one table instead of ten near-duplicate pages. A demo patch raised the shop from one horse a day to three, with filters. Developer screenshots show adult prices around 2,376 to 3,544 coins. Prestige changes the quality the broker offers. I will not freeze that range into a formula.

Bought horses bring one to three random traits, and only about a third are visible. The 200-coin trait test does not reveal every trait before you pay. Parking starts at 200 coins. The stable starts at four stalls, so a purchase can fail for lack of space even when you like the horse.

Questions

What do the ten starter mares cost?

They are the opening choice, not a shop purchase. The table lists coat and the shared starting stats.
