Horses are a livestock animal that appear in Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories.
Horses can be purchased from Hunter's Shop for 20000G and will live in the barn. Alongside other livestock animals they will live in the barn - where the player is capped at five livestock or seven if they upgrade to a larger barn. They are also capped at one horse and that horse only comes in brown. They will not produce anything. However, after befriending it, you are able to ride it around the world, which makes you move faster.
Care[]
Your horse needs to be fed daily. The player can either put feed into the feed troughs inside the barn or ring the bell to let the horse out to graze if they have mature grass on the property. Though horses may be fed any type of feed the higher quality feed used will raise its affection quicker (Grass -> Normal Feed -> Great Feed -> Delicious Feed). It should be noted that grazing does increase the horse's affection. However, fresh grass will wilt after three days, and a horse cannot be let out to graze or be ridden if it is raining. Your horse should also be pet daily and must be brushed every other day - both these actions will happen automatically once interacting with the horse and require no extra effort from the player.
Neglecting to properly care for an animal will cause its stress meter to go up. If an animal is stressed and neglected for too long, it can get sick. Medicine can be purchased at Hunter's Animal Shop for 3500G.
