Horses of Hoofprint Bay stable upgrades, staff and Prestige

You start Horses of Hoofprint Bay with a ramshackle stable and grow it by saving prize money to upgrade buildings, which adds room for more horses. Hiring staff helps keep up with care and training for a larger herd. Prestige measures overall progress and controls which horses, tack and trail rides you can access.

Upgrades and staff

Advanced building stages unlock new training courses, new staff applications and the breeding station lab. Character appearance and tack can be recolored with built-in color tools, and the developer says texture and text files are easy to modify for custom palettes.
