      You must have at least five Adult Horses on your farm that are not Prized for the Press to be functional. When you feed your Horses, they will drop Horseshoes, which can be found in the “Ingredients” section of your Inventory.
      Tip: Limited Edition Horses produce more Horseshoes when fed!
      To see your Horseshoe count, click on the Horseshoe Press to open the main menu. Your Horseshoe total is located on the left-hand side of this screen. The number at the bottom of the Horseshoe indicates how many you currently have in your Inventory.
      Horseshoe Press - FarmVille 2
      Once you have collected at least five Horseshoes, you will be able to recycle them by clicking on the blue “Recycle” button from the Horseshoe Press menu.
      Special Horseshoes
      To earn the Blue Roan Horse, you will need to collect special types of Special Horseshoes. To get these Special Horseshoes, all you need to do is keep recycling old Horseshoes!
      There are three types of Special Horseshoes you can receive:
      1. Copper (collection requires 6)
      2. Aluminum (collection requires 4)
      3. Titanium (collection requires 2)
      These Horseshoes are not used for Crafting like Sheets of Metal. Instead, they are automatically added to your Horseshoe Collection. To earn the Blue Roan Horse, you will need to have 6 Copper, 4 Aluminum, and 2 Titanium (12 total) Horseshoes in your Collection. Once you have collected these, you can trade them in for the Blue Roan Horse!
      The more Adult Horses you have on your Farm, the better your chances are of receiving Special Horseshoes!
        Horseshoe Press - FarmVille 2
      If you do not want to wait to collect the Special Horseshoes, you can use Farm Bucks to skip these steps and get the new baby Blue Roan Horse right away!
        Horseshoe Press - FarmVille 2
      Your new Blue Roan Horse needs baby bottles to reach adulthood, just like your other animals. Once it has matured, it will produce Horseshoes.
      Additional Information:
      • Minimum of Five Adult Horses (non Prized) on any given farm is required to use the Horseshoe Press.
      • If you do not wish to use the Horseshoe Press feature, it can be sold (frame only) or stored in your Inventory.

      • You can collect the baby Blue Roan Horse as many times as you wish during this time.
      • If you want to see how much time you have left to claim the baby Blue Roan Horse, hover your cursor over the Press.
      • Limited to one Horseshoe Press per farm.
      • If you lack any requirements (such as not having enough Horses), the game will tell you what you are missing.
