golden / silver horse icon

[DragonStryder]

what does it mean next to a horse in a stable?

[AlnilamE]

Silver is a normal horse, the gold icon means it's a "Courser" or "Steed" (I can't remember what word they went with, but breeders still say "Courser").

This is different for every Tier, but a horse becomes a "Courser" if they know certain skills (the hither the tier, the more skills they need to learn to be a "Courser").

What this does:
1. Horse sale price is increased.
2. When breeding the horse, if both parents are coursers, then the foal will be born knowing two skills. If only one parent is a courser, then there's a 50% chance of the foal knowing two skills at birth.
3. If a Tier 8 horse becomes a courser, they can be "evolved" into a Tier 9 horse when those come out. (Small chance, lots of work, think of upgrading an Alchemy Stone for comparison).
