Horse Stable - FarmVille 2

The Horse Stable has arrived in FarmVille 2! Use this building to store up to 12 Prized Horses and feed them all with a single click! If that wasn’t enough, Prized Horses in the Stable will only require half the Feed and you also gain an additional +35 Feed Capacity!
If you are level 11 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on “Place Horse Stable” to get started.
Note: You can purchase a completed Horse Stable for Farm Bucks (building materials and helpers are not required).
Building the Horse Stable:

Your first step is collecting construction parts. You will need the following items to start building your Horse Stable:

  • Horseshoe Signs
  • Horse Bedding
  • Blue Boards
To collect Horseshoe Signs, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall – you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.

Horse Stable - FarmVille 2
Adding & Removing Horses:
To add Prized Horses in the Stable, check the “Auto Fill” box and click on the green “Add Prized Horses” button. All of your Prized Horses will automatically trot into the Stable!
To remove a Prized Horse from the Stable, open the main menu and click on the red “–“ (minus symbol) box on the bottom left hand corner of the placement slot (see below: A).

Horse Stable - FarmVille 2
     
 
A. Minus Symbol: Remove Horses
B. Feed: How much Feed the Horses will consume
C. Fine Saddles: How much the Horses will produce (see below: Feeding)
D. Mastery: Animal Mastery Ribbons
Feeding:
Prized Horses stored in the Stable will eat half of the amount of Feed they normally do. For example, a Horse that eats 10 Feed outside of the Stable will eat 5 Feed when inside the Stable. Note: Any Prized Horse that would normally eat an odd amount of feed outside of the Horse Stable will be rounded up by one. For example, a Horse that would normally eat 11 Feed will only need 6 Feed when stored in the Horse Stable. 
Fine Saddles:
Each time you harvest the Horse Stable you will get Fine Saddles, which can be used in Crafting Workshop Recipes. Fill your Horse Stable all the way to get the most Fine Saddles when you harvest!
Note: The Fine Saddles will automatically go into your Inventory.

Hot Air Balloon!

Barbara has a wonderful new Hot Air Balloon, but she can’t land it at her B&B! Help her build a Tethering Platform, and she will take you and your friends for a ride! Complete all five of the Hot Air Balloon rides by crafting goods and you will also earn a Mini Hot Air Balloon, The Summer Outfit with cool shades, and other great rewards!

Hot Air Balloon - FarmVille 2

Before you can host a Hot Air Balloon ride, you will need to build your Tethering Platform. Your first step is collecting Building Materials. You will need the following items to start building your Platform:
  • Windsocks
  • Sandbags
  • Propane Tanks
To collect Windsocks, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.
Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Sandbags and Propane Tanks to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction Menu.
