Tack Question

Have a technical question you can't find the answer to in FAQ's? Ask it here. Game problem questions that do NOT pertain to things like training advice, what would my horse do well in, how much is it worth.

Tack Question

Postby HighFly » Mon Apr 11, 2011 3:24 pm

Question: what does this mean? I found it around 5 or 8 horses' tack boxes

This horse currently has a generic Bit - to improve its performance, Select a(n) Bit to use on this horse:
You have no available Bit(s)

It means... that you need to tack your horse up if you want to event it... but that you have no bits (or the wrong kind) on the ranch that the horse is on. Unless you mean something different, I may be misunderstanding...

But when I went to another horse that didn't have ANY tack on her at all .. I had 20 some bits available for use, but none were available when I had looked at the other horse.

Did you have the correct bit type? There's two types: Snaffle and Curb.

Most events require a Snaffle, but Western requires the Curb.

Maybe a link to the horse/s in question will help :)

Hmm here's some of them.

Edit: I checked my inventory and I do have a ton of snaffle bits but I don't have any available curb bits available. So I think you're right, because they are trained in western so maybe the game knows that they're not supposed to have a snaffle bit! lol

Bingo :D

99% sure Western is the only event to use Curb :)
