I'm brand new here, and curious about the gametime! How long are game years / how long will it take my foals to grow up? Thanks!

Game years are one full real life month. A new year starts every 1st.

One game year is equal to one real life month. So on the first day of a new month, like April 1st, a new game year will start and all horses will age up one year. Horses are also able to breed again on the first of each month.

Make sure to check the game guide. That question is answered there: https://horseeden.com/help.php

Thank you all! I appreciate the help - and side note - thats a long year for a game!

That's what you think now.

Wait until you decide to breed for ratings and need TONS of money to afford your RO (rollover).

It also helps for training :)
