Grand Stable

This building was introduced into the game after just a few months, but is so important for game progression! It allows players to keep multiple Horses at the same time. The first one a player unlocks is on the USA ranch, at player level 5. The appearance and total capacity (number of places for horses) vary by location.

Building and Upgrading
Once a player reaches a level that unlocks a Grand Stable, it must be purchased from the Shop with coins. Once built, most upgrades cost Diamonds. Although most buildings max upgrade to Level 5, Game Updates have provided Grand Stables with upgradability to Level 30, allowing players to keep even more horses at one time!

To upgrade your Grand Stable, tap the building and then tap the blue up arrow (if the arrow is grey, you'll get a message alerting you at what level the upgrade unlocks). A confirmation pop-up will show: how much the upgrade costs, how long it takes and how many extra stalls you'll get.

There are Achievements for upgrading the Grand Stables. Since the upgrades are expensive (e.g. 2300 Diamonds for a level 18 Grand Stable in England), it is good practice to check the Special Quests for a Spending XXX Diamonds quest. Even though you won't get a Diamond reward, you will get special quest tokens!

Horses In the Grand Stable
Horses that are placed in the Grand Stables:
 * cannot race in Steeplechases
 * don't have activity requests
 * do not generate income
 * cannot be transferred to another ranch
 * are not seen by your friends.

However, you can still use them for Breeding, Purebreeders Society tasks, Horse Racing and Dressage events. Horses can still be trained (leveled up) via Stablehands while they are in the Grand Stable (tap on the whistle). This is a very good reason to upgrade your Paddocks!

Using the Grand Stable
It costs coins to put horses into the Grand Stable and move them out. The cost depends on the Rarity of the horse.

Move Single Horse In (empty slots in Grand Stable)
To move a horse into an empty stall in the Grand Stable: while visiting a horse in its stable, tap the blue Grand Stable icon (bottom left-hand corner), a pop-up will confirm the move request and show the cost.

Moving Multiple Horses (or full Grand Stable)
The other way to move horses in or out, is to tap on the Grand Stable, then tap the horse head icon. You can drag horse(s) back and forth between the Stable & Grand Stable lists. This is the quickest way to move several horses at once, you can cancel or confirm the moves & cost. It is also the only way to switch horses if your Stables & Grand Stable are full.

Old GS levels and costs (for reference only!)
The Grand Stable levels were split in the summer 2020 to allow for smaller upgrades. Each level was split into two or three levels, so instead of getting 10 spaces at once per upgrade, the GS was expanded by 2-5 spaces per upgrade. That meant that the previous max level (9) changed to level 19-21, depending on the GS. The following numbers are the GS levels and related info before the split happened, and are here just for reference.

Sub Grand Stable
Yearly Subscribers can claim three Sub Grand Stables during their first year. The buildings are rewards for months 3, 6 and 9. Each Grand Stable can hold up to 25 horses. They can be placed on any farm, but once placed, they can't be moved from one country to another. The inside of the Sub GS will follow the style of the country it is placed in, but the outside will always look the same. It is not possible to get these extra Grand Stables without the yearly subscription.

To place a Sub GS, you have to claim it from the monthly rewards first. So go to the Subscription tab, tap the reward wheel and scroll sideways to the month you are on. Tap the Sub GS reward. After that, go to the ranch you want to place your Sub GS and open the Building menu from the bottom left corner. Scroll to the bottom to find your new Sub GS. Drag and drop it wherever you want on the farm to build it. The Sub GS is immediately ready to use.

Years 2 and 3 of the subscription rewards Sub GS upgrades. Each upgrade adds 10 spaces to a Sub GS. The look of the building stays the same. To upgrade a Sub GS, you have to claim the reward first from the Subscription tab, and then tap the Sub GS you want to upgrade. Tap the upgrade arrow to upgrade your Sub GS. The work will be completed immediately.
