Horses bought

The history of your horse purchases. Unlike Horses sold, which also shows the sales in progress, this screen lists only concluded purchases: what you actually paid.

Reading a line

• The horse, its name leading to its card. If it has moved on since, it appears there all the same.
• The seller, clickable through to their card.
• The type of sale by which you got it: fixed price, reserved sale or auction.
• The purchase date.
• The price paid — on an auction, your winning offer.

The sort starts on the date, from the most recent to the oldest. The filters bear on the type of sale, the name, the speciality, the sex and the age.

What one comes here for

What a horse cost you. It is the piece of information the horse's card does not give: it says what it has won, not what you paid to have it. Putting the two side by side is the only way of knowing whether a purchase was a good one.

Who you buy from. In the long run, the seller column draws a map: some players regularly sell horses that live up to their promise, others do not. It is precious information and nobody else will give it to you.

What you paid at auction. Compare it with the minimum price the seller was asking, when you remember it: that is how one learns not to get carried away.

A point about breeders

Buying a horse does not make you its breeder, and this screen says nothing about breeding. The breeder remains the one who owned the mare at conception, and they go on taking 2 % of the horse's earnings, even after you have bought it. It is a charge that comes with the horse, not an anomaly: see breeding.

The only exception is the purchase of a horse whose breeder was the game itself: in that case, you become the breeder and the horse enters your breeding operation.
