Introduction

Training is how you turn a good horse into a great one. On Training Island you complete a series of activities and minigames that raise your horse's speed, stamina and strength toward its breed's maximum, commonly known as OG stats. Training also earns Training Receipts, a currency you spend on exclusive Training Island items and horses. The training category explains every activity on the island, how to earn and spend Training Receipts, and the fastest path to a fully trained horse. Because OG stats are a major factor in both racing performance and trade value, knowing how to train efficiently is one of the most practical skills in the game. Whether you are preparing a racer for the Competition Hub or training a horse to sell, these guides cover the whole journey from first activity to OG.

Core Mechanics

Training Island is a dedicated location where all training activities take place. Each activity is a minigame that tests your timing and control while your horse's stats grow. Completing an activity awards Training Receipts, which you can spend at the island's shops on exclusive items, accessories and even special horses that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Stats are capped per breed — once a horse reaches its breed's maximum in every stat it is considered OG, the highest possible trained state. Training takes time, and horses with higher trust bond train more effectively, which is why taming and care tie into training. Fully trained OG horses race better in the Competition Hub and command a premium in the trading market, making the training grind a worthwhile investment for serious players.

Advantages

Training is the difference between a casual collection and a competitive stable. OG horses win races, which means better rewards from the Competition Hub, and they are the horses serious traders look for first. Training Receipts give you access to exclusive Training Island horses and items that cannot be found anywhere else, adding a collection goal beyond simple stats. The minigame structure keeps training active rather than a passive timer, and because training results are visible in the horse's stat panel, you always know exactly how far a horse is from its potential. A well-trained horse is also a safer trade — buyers trust verified OG stats over untested wild catches.

Challenges

Training is a significant time investment. Reaching OG stats requires many activity sessions, and each minigame has a learning curve before you can complete it efficiently. The activities can feel repetitive when you are training multiple horses back to back. Training Receipts are earned one activity at a time, so saving up for the exclusive island horses takes patience. There is also an opportunity cost: every hour spent training is an hour not spent hunting rare spawns or trading, so you have to balance the grind against other goals. The training grind also competes with hunting and trading for your limited play time, and a horse that is half-trained is worth far less than a fully trained one, so splitting your effort across many horses is a common mistake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Training Island?+
Training Island is a separate island that you unlock through gameplay progression. Once unlocked you can travel to it from the main island hub, and all training activities and the Training Receipts shops are located there. All activities are found on Training Island, and you can travel back and forth freely, so plan a session that chains several activities together to make the trip worthwhile.
What are OG stats?+
OG stats is the community term for the maximum stats a breed can reach after full training. A horse at OG stats has its speed, stamina and strength maxed for its breed, which makes it optimal for racing and highly valuable in trades. OG horses are the standard that serious traders look for, and the stat panel shows exactly how far a horse is from its breed's maximum at a glance.
What can I buy with Training Receipts?+
Training Receipts are spent at the Training Island shops on exclusive items, accessories and horses that only appear there. Saving them for the special horses is usually the best value, though the accessories are also popular for roleplay stables. The exclusive island horses are a collector goal in their own right, and because they cannot be found in the wild they often become valuable once their island content is retired.
Does bonding affect training?+
Yes. Horses with higher trust from daily care train more effectively, so keep feeding and brushing your horse before you start a big training session to get the best results. Trust is built through daily care, so a horse that is fed and brushed regularly will respond better to a long training block than one that has been neglected.

Quick Tips

💡

Train one horse at a time to completion instead of splitting sessions — partial training across many horses leaves you with nothing race-ready. A single fully trained horse is worth more than several half-trained ones, so finish one project before starting the next. Finishing one horse completely gives you a competitive racer and a saleable asset, instead of a stable full of half-finished projects.

💡

Do the Endurance Run when it is available because it raises all stats at once and pays bonus Training Receipts. The bonus receipts from the all-stats activity speed up every other purchase on Training Island, so make it a priority when it is available. The bonus receipts from the all-stats activity speed up every purchase on Training Island, so prioritise it whenever it is available.

💡

Save your Training Receipts for the exclusive horses on Training Island; they often become valuable when the island content is retired. Exclusive island horses are a limited supply, so spending receipts on them while they are available is usually the best long-term value.

💡

Keep your horse's trust high before training sessions to boost how much each activity raises its stats. High-trust horses train faster, so a short care routine before a long session gives you more stat growth from the same amount of play time.
