How to Build a FarmVille Horse Stable

Where to Find FarmVille Horse Stable Building Materials

Nina Rotz
FarmVille's latest update released the much-anticipated Horse Stables. FarmVille players have been asking and waiting for the new building to arrive. Harvesting cows became a lot easier when FarmVille released Dairy Farms. Getting a FarmVille Horse Stable requires work - you an only start with a foundation and must collect necessary materials in order to finish building. Materials such as bricks, harnesses, horseshoes, nails and wooden boards have to be collected for the Horse Stable building process. It is not hard though, but you will need some help from your FarmVille neighbors.

FarmVille Horse Stable: How to Get Started Building
Open up FarmVille and a message will pop-up saying "Horse Stables have arrived!" Click on "OK. " The pop-up will place a Horse Stable foundation in your gift box. Click on the gift box and drag the stable foundation on your farm. Place the foundation where you would like to build.

Are you unable to see the pop-up? Farmville's Horse Stable foundation is available in the Market in the "Buildings" tab. Click on the icon and drags the foundation to your farm. FarmVille players are allowed 1 Horse Stable per farm and the foundation costs 5,000 FarmVille coins.

A new pop-up will appear, saying, "You've started building your horse stable! Notify your friends so they can help you out." Click on "Accept" to publish the notice on your Facebook wall.

FarmVille friends click on "Lend a Hand" links and receive 100 coins. Ten FarmVille neighbors will receive 100 free coins by clicking on your wall post. You do not get materials necessary by having Facebook friends click on the link. This part is deceiving. You have to collect or buy building materials in order to finish building your Horse Stable.

FarmVille Horse Stable: Materials Needed For Building
A Horse Stable needs bricks, harnesses, horseshoes, nails and wooden boards. Click on your Horse Stable foundation and select "Look Inside." A window pops up showing your progress but also tells you still need in materials. You will need 10 of each in order to finish building the Horse Stable.

FarmVille Horse Stable: How to Find Materials
You can buy Horse Stable materials through the market. Each piece costs 1 FarmVille cash, but that is a waste of money. Do not spend your FarmVille cash on the Horse Stable. It will take a little time and patience, but you can have a free FarmVille Horse Stable.

Post on your Facebook wall that you are looking for FarmVille Horse Stable materials. FarmVille friends can send you materials as gifts. FarmVille Horse Stable gifts are randomized, so one friend will be able to choose between a brick or harness, while another friend will have the ability to send horseshoes and nails.

You will receive the materials like other FarmVille gifts. Click on the gift request to accept it. In the farm window, click on the gift box and then click on "Use" underneath each gift. FarmVille will then place accepted materials in the Horse Stable.

Another way is to look for Facebook wall posts from FarmVille friends who have progressed to 50% of their Horse Stable building process. A wall post from them will appear as "FriendName is working hard on a Horse Stable in FarmVille! FriendName is constructing a Horse Stable and is over halfway finished! FriendName can tell ...they'll have some leftover materials and wants to share them with you!"

Click on the "Get Materials" link and you will be rewarded with a Horse Stable material such as nail, brick, harness, horseshoe or wooden board.

FarmVille Horse Stable: Gathering Materials Tips
I would advise that you communicate with FarmVille friends when it comes to the Horse Stable building progress. Gifts are random, so you can find yourself getting 10 bricks quickly but no nails. Post on your Facebook wall exactly what you need. I would post that I need two more bricks or that I no longer need horseshoes. This cut down on duplicate gifts and allowed me to get building materials quickly.

I built my FarmVille Horse Stable in less than 24 hours. Once complete, a pop-up showed with a "Congratulations" message and allowed me to post a gift for FarmVille friends.

FarmVille will give a free gray horse when the Horse Stable is built. Posting the message on your wall allows 5 FarmVille friends to claim a gray horse as well.

Remember to share your progress on Facebook. Building your Horse Stable to 50% complete will allow you to post rewards. Share FarmVille materials with friends and help others get their stables built.

FarmVille Horse Stable: Gray Horse and Capacity
A gray horse comes free and it will be in your gift box. Place it in the FarmVille Horse Stable just as if you place cows in a Dairy Farm. Collect from your horses before placing them in the Horse Stable. The horses will reset, so you will lose coins if they are at 100% and ready to collect. A FarmVille Horse Stable holds only 20 horses.

One FarmVille horse harvests in 1 day for 84 coins. Do the math and that comes out to 1680 FarmVille coins every day. Too bad, they only allow one stable per farm, but I'm not selling my horses just yet. Maybe FarmVille will allow more than one stable at a later date.

FarmVille Horse Stable: Cash Tip
Do not spend FarmVille cash on Horse Stable building materials! Bricks, harnesses, nails, wooden boards and horseshoes sell for only 5 FarmVille coin a piece. It is a waste of money so be patient and your FarmVille friends will help you build a free Horse Stable.

FarmVille Horse Stable: Beware of Facebook Scams, Fake Groups and Viruses
Do not join Facebook groups that offer additional FarmVille Horse Stables or any game pieces such as the Chicken Coops. FarmVille Facebook groups are a scam. Often FarmVille players report that their computer suffered from a virus after joining one of these fake groups - and they never were able to receive FarmVille items that the groups promised.
