Why can't I feed my horse?

[JuiceWSA]

Open Wheel
Arrow or 'R' to 'Horse'
Feed Horse one (or more) of the Horse Food Items you have in your satchel.

Easy.

Note:
There is no Story Mission wherein you stock up on Horse Food Items. You have to stop playing Story Missions in order to pick up some Horse Food Items. There is no Story Mission wherein you upgrade your Satchel to carry more than 3 wild carrots. There is no Story Mission wherein you can stop and pick Wild Carrots. There is no Story Mission wherein you go to the stable and buy 3 Hay (that'll be gone in 10 minutes).

I went to the stables for a change and was able to feed the horses again.

Thank you all the same.

Yes you can buy stuff at the stable to feed your horse or use wild carrots you can carry about 10 of those (wild carrots) also you can at the grocery buy oatcakes but they can be expensive you can carry maybe 10 oatcakes and feed the horse this ...

Hay fills up the horse so does wild carrots so does oatcakes I think the others ... beets, celery etc. not so much ...

I try to feed my horse always before entering a stable then I buy 3 hay knowing the horse is full instead of going into the stable with a hungry horse buying 3 hay then exiting and feeding it ...

Again, this simple concept is something that should have been explained in detail in a manual

The only time i cant select "(feed my horse)" is when another activity is active, or i am in the wrong position.

For example,
In camp, when an NPC is about to interact with me.

The previous horse activity, like brushing, hasn't completed yet (even though the animation is done - pathetically frustrating - ty R*).

I am not standing in the right position.

But i have noticed that horse feeding seems to have become more buggy recently, in that it doesn't always go off when selected (even though allowed and not greyed out) - i need to sometimes reset my position and try again.

I often do all the right keys to feed my horse but one of the last icons does not come up so the horse was never fed then I do the exact same thing again and the icon pops up and the horse got fed.

I can't feed horses because the feed horses icon is dark and can't be clicked.After I changed horses in the stables the， icon lights up and I can feed the horse.

oh - you also cannot feed a horse that you have not bonded with yet - you need at least bonding level 1 to feed , which can be achieve by saddling (instant), or riding/petting/claming

is that maybe it ?

That doesn't sound right - I mean I pack that Dark Bay Braithwaite Turk with sugar cubes until I get a level one bond - then go over later and whistle him to me. Maybe that only works on that Turk, but I kinda doubt it.

When you do things too quickly some items or actions might be grayed out.
For example if in the middle of calming/petting; actions to feed yourself, your horse or brush you horse might be grayed out. That's because you are still in the middle of doing something.

This is so simple to understand and grasp, yet people struggle with it like its a game issue. No it's a YOU issue. Learn how game mechanics work.
