To start with, do not buy stalls, or employees. Wait until it says it is spring or summer on Howrse. (this is the best time to plant crops, and therefore, make money)
If you have a pass to spare, buy a fertile 15 acre meadow from the Black market. If you have another pass, buy a green house. If you still have passes to spare, get more 15 acre meadows and maybe another green house. Go ahead and buy some scarecrows to put on your pastures too if you have the passes.
*you can only have 5 crops at a time, so theres no point in getting more than 5 as of right now*
If you do not have passes or do not want to spend your precious few, buy two or three medium sized fertile meadows. then buy some droppings (you need alot of droppings) then go to your meadows and click on "make manure" then make all your droppings into manure.
Then, whether you used passes to get 15 acre meadows, or if you only have medium sized meadows, go back to the store and get enough wheat seeds(if its spring) or flax seeds (if its summer) to fill up all your pastures. Make sure you have enough manure, and then go plant all your crops.
When it comes time to harvest, harvest it, and sell it all. If its spring, plant wheat. if its summer plant flax. if its fall or winter, and you have no greenhouse, take a break, because you cant plant any more crops until spring (do not plant apple tress! they will never go away!) repeat until you have enough money to buy a DH box.
At this time keep a little bit of your flax badding and buy a rabbit to go in the stall. hire at least a riding instructor, and try to get a sadler and a farrier. A groom is not nessesary until you get 21 stalls.
Go ahead and set your skill level now at 300 skills if you have a saddler, instructor, flax bedding, farrier, and set aside a pasture (it can be just a medium sized one) for a pasture for the horse to graze in, and have an extra one to switch out every day, because they lose fertility and cleanness.
Keep your daily fee at 10e.
Keep it up with the crops, and gradually get one DH box at a time. In no time you'll have a top EC!
You need to wait for it's previous boarding to finish. Then on the right side it will say your horse isn't boarded at an EC yet. Click the link there and it will take you to a page to find a EC with the qualities you're looking for. If you just bought a horse out of the auctions and you want to change it's EC, there will be a button that says "Cancel Stay" and you would have to find a new EC. ("Cancel Stay" only works if you got that horse from an auction)

Howrse players tend to agree that there are a number of ways that you can increase the reserve in your EC. These include:
1. Avoid taking on boarders at the beginning as these will bankrupt you
2. Instead, focus on being a farm and making money through crops - flax in spring and wheat in summer bring in the most money
3. Buy droppings from the ec store daily and make droppings to sell as manure - Firstly buy 1000 units of droppings (or the most you can buy) don't worry about your reserve, then make them into manure, go back to the store and sell it for profit.
4. Invest in a greenhouse and grow wheat through the winter
5. When your EC is well established with a healthy reserve, you can start making money from boarders too
Note: At least 4 x 15 acre 100% fertile meadows of either crop will ensure you pass the 100,000 equus achievement.
Look around in people's EC forums for a topic about how to set up a good EC.
You don't, you delete that one and make a new one with the desired name.
The prestiage. This is the number of stars the EC has. If the EC has pets, that is also good because they can boost the horses morale.
A 'DIRECTOR' in Howrse is an EC director where he/she manages her/his own EC (a sanctuary for horses). hope this helps... x
Buy it in the EC store.
Grow crops and sell them and then but 100's of Rabbits!
You can sell them or make mashes. Carrots are for the horses.
Howrse puts your prestige and deals with. You don't need to worry. The prestige is only telling you how good your ec is.
Make a stylish profile for your EC, so it appeals to them. Get carrots, energy mashes, pets, and all the other qualities of a good EC. You should also have an interesting forum so that they will find your EC's forum very welcoming, therefore your EC welcoming.
No, you can't, only in the EC.
By employing Grooms to work for you. 1 grrom is provided by howrse for the first 20 boxes in your EC.
You have to manage a EC. Then you hover on the part of the bar that says EC, scroll down to Competitions. That is were you can make your Competitions. Happy Howrseing Fjord Purebreed
