Ranch Guide: Lock, Ride, Store and Sell

Keep your foals safe and understand the choices visible at a stall.

Quick answer

Lock your gate before leaving. At a stall, review Ride, Store and Sell carefully, then check the result of the action you chose.

    §Secure the ranch before another trip#

    The official instructions explicitly say to lock your gate to prevent thieves. Check its visible state each time you leave to catch another foal. Players can sneak into other ranches and steal their foals.

    The reviewed footage shows the ranch entrance and lock area, but does not establish the current free lock duration or cooldown. Read the current gate display before planning a long trip.

  2. Read the stall choices

    Read Ride, Store and Sell before choosing.

    Success check
    The selected action matches the result shown by the horse or stall.
    If it remains unclear
    Stop holding Sell if you intended to mount or inspect.

    §Read the stall choices#

    The mobile recording shows Ride, Store and a hold-to-Sell option next to a horse in its stall. Ride lets the player mount; Store and Sell are separate choices. Avoid holding Sell while trying to interact with another control.

    Sale amounts vary between the visible horses. Treat the amount on your selected horse as the relevant offer and read it before confirming. Retention rules for stored horses and rebirth still need a verified before-and-after check.

  3. Collect and check your cash

    Collect the cash shown at your stalls.

    Success check
    Your cash counter reflects collection.
    If it remains unclear
    Check the relevant stall and compare with the next upgrade cost.

    §Collect and check your cash#

    The reviewed ranch stalls show cash indicators and floating collection amounts. Check your cash counter after collecting, then compare it with the treadmill’s next upgrade.

    The official description says rebirth multiplies earned Cash. It does not publish a complete income formula or a guaranteed best horse for every stage. Use the horse and stall values visible in your own server.

  4. Attempt a theft with a return plan

    Check the other ranch entrance and plan your return.

    Success check
    A successful delivery registers at your own ranch.
    If it remains unclear
    Leave locked entrances alone; no bypass has been verified.

    §Attempt a theft with a return plan#

    The developer confirms that players can steal foals from other ranches. Inspect the entrance state and plan how to get home before you start. The general capture loop depends on bringing the foal back successfully.

    No bypass for locked gates, paid protection or anti-theft mechanics has been verified. This guide does not promise that an occupied stall can always be raided or that a lock can be defeated.
