Animals/Horse

Details
Like in many Harvest Moon games, the horse cannot be purchased, and it is given to the player by Barley. One day he will come to your house and ask if you'd like to take care of the horse for awhile. If you accept, Barley will return a year later to check on your progress.
 * Managed to take care of the horse, Barley will allow you to keep the horse.
 * Neglect the horse, Barley will take him away

Growing up
The horse takes a full year to grow up, for example if you got your horse in Summer the 1st in the first year, by Summer the 1st on the second year, it will have fully grown.

Care

 * Horses do not need to be fed, and they will never get sick or die.
 * Until the horse grows up, you will be unable to ride him.
 * Brushing and talking to your horse will increase his affection.
 * You can show items or give food to the horse to increase his affection as well.

Trivia

 * His favorite food is carrots.
 * Once he is grown, you will be able to enter the Horse race.
 * The satchel that is attached to the horse can be used as a shipping box, rather then putting what you want to ship into the shipping box.
