Any tips on keeping horse fed?

[Adeptus Lebowski]

My horse is always malnourished even though i actively feed it a few times a day. Is there another way of keeping my Arabian fed so that i get to use the extra bars on its stats?

I feed my horses on oat cakes. They are fit. But from dry goods.

If I'm understanding what you are asking their stat bars go up as you bond with them. They will max out at level 4 bonding. Feeding horses keeps their stamina and health full.

In SP, buy oatcakes. In RDO, gather wild carrots. They are everywhere. Feed it often.

Change horse in stable for a couple minutes, and will be fit again

I just feed my perlino andalusian a carrot or hay or something decent when I see a bit of grey on top of his cores and he is always fit (story). I think you need to feed him a tiny bit more if you ride a lot and avoid using golden cores upgrade at stables or feeding him those candy like treats that award gold cores cuz even tho cores will be full a long time all that time he will be getting hungrier. So if they aren't golden you can have a good indicator of when to feed him. I think it's good rule of thumb to like feed him a wild carrot when you noticed a bit if grey or two if it's close to half a core and 3 for lower.

Tbh, just feed him like you would IRL and as often. That usually does it.

i have 6 speed and 6 acceleration with my horse. The next two bars are gold in colour and then the last in one is grey, so i don't understand why it is not maxed. It must be because my horse is underwieght?

Just feed your horse more, you obviously spend too few on feeds for your horse.

i= wondered if letting my horse feed on the grass instead of hitching my horse up would help? I can always spend 30 mins each time i play feeding my horse as you say though.... but kinda have more to do ya know

Feed him on grass? What game are you playing dude. Horses don't actually eat when you leave them in the field or hitch em up at hay posts. You have to ride em, hold weapon wheel, switch to the next one twice and then select a food on the left of the third wheel or get close to your horse, hold rightclick on him and select feed. Or do the wheel thing when close to him.

A third bar? U sure u rnt mistaking them for your characters bars? Horses have health and stamina. Bravery too but that doesn't show up anywhere. And like u saw speed and acceleration. All of those increase with bonding lvls. Almost every little thing u do with your horse increases bonding. If you wonna boost it to bonding four (max) quickly just take the horses rope that you hold when riding which hangs around his mouth and lead him around the map for half hour. You come close to him, hold right click without a gun on him near and press E to lead him. Walk on some train tracks to avoid random events for half an hour. Feed him something with decent feed fullfillment every time he has some grey on top of his cores and he will always be fit. Maybe feed him one extra when you ride him for a long time.
