🩺 Operations and Illness

Routine Care

Most horses commonly need recurring care such as:

- Teeth floating
- Hoof trimming
- Deworming

These procedures help maintain welfare and long term performance.

Optional Procedures

Some operations are not strictly required, but are recommended depending on the horse’s use and condition. These include:

- Bit fitting
- Saddle fitting
- Shoeing
- Gelding
- Microchipping
- Weight checks
- Genetic testing

Required Procedures

Some situations make veterinary or specialist intervention necessary. This is especially true for:

- Illness-related treatment
- Pregnancy
- Overdue bred horses
- Certain dental or hoof conditions

Examples of required procedures may include:

- Ultrasound
- C-section
- Tooth extraction
- Hoof cleaning
- Illness-specific cures

Medication

Some illnesses require treatment over multiple in game days. In these cases, players must buy the correct medicine from the pharmacy in Ventura and administer it in the same general way as feed.

The listed treatment days are not consecutive, so players do not need to log in on uninterrupted daily intervals to complete a course.
