Every month, horses will go through their automated training. Training and horse/jockey management is where things get tricky. Ranch costs aren’t too high, and it’s easy to turn a monthly profit, especially after winning a couple races. As horses win races, your ranch’s popularity increases and people will visit, spending money in the process. From there, you’ll be encouraged to build training structures and other ranch buildings. The game doesn’t have much of a tutorial, so you’ll have to learn about the stats as you go, but it’s a rather simple process.Īs you start to enter races and the ranch starts to grow, you can hire full-time jockeys, who train with horses and come with their own stats. While the initial selection is small, each horse has its own set of stats that influence how it’s best fit to race. You’re given a stable, living quarters, and some roads for free, but you’ll soon be asked to get your hands on some horses. Ranch management is the first part of the game you’ll experience and it quickly proves to be the easiest. You’re in charge of populating the ranch with horses, buildings, jockeys, and visitors. Pocket Stables starts off with a mostly empty ranch. Of course, raising a Triple Crown champion is difficult, as there’s been no American Triple Crown winner in over 35 years! Pocket Stables will show you that winning one race is hard enough, but winning the three biggest races will require patience, planning, and some luck. You’ll build a ranch, raise horses, and enter races, with the goal of raising a Triple Crown champion. In Kairosoft’s newest title, you can experience horses in all their glory.
