Overview
Horses are a livestock species in Starsand Island unlocked at the Senior Rancher tier. They are purchased from Pastelle at Green Pasture Ranch for 1,350 Coins each. Horses are the only livestock species that supports duo riding (two riders at once), making them uniquely valuable for future multiplayer cooperative play. Breeding a White Horse is a mandatory requirement for the Senior Rancher certification quest, making horses one of the most important breeding goals in the game.

The White Horse Quest
The White Horse is a mandatory requirement for the Senior Rancher certification quest. It cannot be purchased or found in the wild; it must be bred. This is widely considered one of the most time-consuming breeding goals in the game.
Based on community reports, players typically need 15 to 25 breeding attempts to produce a White Horse, though luck can reduce or increase this range. The recommended strategy:
Purchase 15 to 20 horses to build a large gene pool. You will need at least 3 Stables to house them.
Check every horse's DNA profile immediately and sell any with negative traits (especially Pride and Bloom).
Keep horses with Strong (reduces breeding cooldown) and Twins (chance for bonus offspring) traits as primary breeders.
Fill all breeding slots continuously. Two brown Common horses can produce a White or Black Horse as a mutation.
If an Ink Horse appears, keep it. Breeding an Ink Horse with a lighter-colored partner reportedly increases the odds of producing a White Horse.
Use Love Feed to reset breeding cooldowns faster if available.
Be patient. The White Horse is the single most time-consuming breeding goal in the game.

Duo Riding
Horses are the only animal species that supports two riders simultaneously. This makes them the only practical duo mount for multiplayer cooperative play (planned for June 2026). In single-player, duo riding allows an NPC companion to ride with you.
Tips
Start horse breeding as soon as you unlock Senior Rancher. The White Horse quest can take weeks of daily breeding attempts.
Build multiple Stables (2,500 Coins each) to run breeding pairs in parallel.
Horses do not produce any goods beyond poop. Their value is entirely in their mount ability and breeding outcomes.
The Ink Horse has a stunning visual design. Keep it as a prestige mount even if you do not need it for quests.
