Horses of Hoofprint Bay: how to load a horse into the trailer

Quick answer

You don't load the trailer yourself: once the parking lot upgrade gives you a trailer, a horse is loaded and moved for you when you choose it for a competition. Until you enter one, the trailer count in town shows 0/2, which is why clicking around the field does nothing.

Get the trailer from the parking lot

You need to upgrade the parking lot at least once to own a horse trailer, and further upgrades let it carry more horses to competitions. The November 5 player who asked had bought the parking lot and been told the trailer holds two.

Pick the horse when you enter

Two replies in the same thread give the answer: the horse goes into the trailer automatically, at the moment you choose it for the competition.

  1. Go to town and open the competition you want.
