Buying Equipment

The choice whether to buy equipment is a simple one to make. If you say no, that it is not necessary you can skip to the next section. If you say yes then, of course, there are some things to consider:

1. Who sells the equipment? Do they get a profit from selling equipment?

2. Do you have to buy equipment?

3. Are you selling equipment (i.e. barns) or tack or both?

4. Does the correct equipment have to be worn in events?

5. Do you have a council of people looking out for people who misuse their equipment?

1. Who buys the fodder? Stable owner or horse owner
2. Do you have to have enough fodder to feed all your horses. (I like the idea where you buy 5 portions of complete working horse feed and 5 biscuits of hay and you feed  one potion and biscuit per day per horse. This saves having to buy bran, oats, barley, chaff, etc. And you could have different types, breeding mare, pasture feed, pony fodder or calming feed for working stallions etc.)
3. Does it rot? Go off?
4. How do you store it?
5. Do you have to feed your horse?
6. Who gets tally of how much feed one person has?
7. Where do you purchase it from? (you could even have one or two stores in competition with each other to keep the game interesting.
