Your stable can stock up on Equipment at any time, purchasable with cash or bonus credits. An items expiry period only starts from when it is first applied to a selected horse. Spare items can therefore be kept in your stable indefinitely until you are ready to use them.
Certain equipment lasts a lifetime while others require replacing after their expiry date:
- Shoes (Alumites) expire after 30 days.
- Gelding is permanent.
- Blinkers can be removed and re-applied.
- Vitamins can be applied every 15 days.
Equipment ranges in price from £0.65 to £1.30.
Note: If you have selected to automatically reapply shoes (alumites) (the ‘multi’ option when applying) to a horse when they wear out, the system is reliant on your stable having pre-purchased stock of them.
All items will improve a horses performance to varying degrees or have no effect at all, albeit blinkers which can also have a detrimental effect on a horse.
Vitamins affect a horses fitness by 5% to 10% and could flip your horse over 100% reverting it back to 50%. Please consult the Equipment Shop for detailed information.
