Palia: Horse Breeding Guide

Horses are the first type of mounts available in Palia with the new Royal Highlands expansion update. As the Royal Highlands is the biggest adventure zone yet, the player can use the Horse to traverse through it and the other zones. Although every player gets a free horse (Dawnspur) by visiting the Royal Highlands, they can breed and customize their horses with different functional and cosmetic traits. In this guide, we will explain how horse breeding works in Palia and how you can customize your horses.

How to Breed Horses in Palia

Players can breed horses at their Ranch to get horses with unique functional and cosmetic traits. The breeding process follows the same procedure as other animals. You can only breed the same type of horses, meaning a Dawnspur breed can only breed with Dawnspur. It can not be bred with an Akwindu or Phoenixfire breed.

NOTE: To breed horses in Palia, you must first acquire a horse by completing the “Before the Dawn” quest.

To begin the breeding process, you have to purchase more horses from the Ranching Guild Store. You can purchase a Dawnspur for 5,000 Gold. Purchase a few Dawnspur, and then head to the nursery pen to view your baby horses. These new horses will either have a random trait or no trait at all. Feed and pet these horses to raise them.

Once you have two adult horses, you can select them for breeding at the nursery pen. Their babies will inherit the traits from their parents. However, you can freely customize the horse to change their traits as you like.

How to Customize Your Horses in Palia

Customizing your horses in Palia requires you to alter their traits. As you breed horses at the ranch, they all will get random traits. If there is a trait that you do not like, or want to reroll traits, then you must use certain treats. These treats will help you get random functional and cosmetic traits on a horse, customizing the overall horse.

Here are the effective treats that you can feed to the horse to customize them.

• Cookie of the Day: Feed this to an animal to grant it a single random cosmetic trait.
• Roulette Cookie: Feed this to an animal to grant it a single random trait.
• Oopsie Cookie: Feed this to an animal to remove a single random trait.
• Reroll Cookie: Randomizes the tier of each of your animal’s traits.

Begin with feeding Cookie of the Day and Roulette Cookie to get a random functional and cosmetic trait. If you get good traits, you can keep them. However, if you get some bad traits that you don’t like, you can remove them by using the Oopsie Cookie. If you wish to randomize all the traits on a horse, then use Reroll Cookie.

NOTE: Do not use Reroll Cookie on a Phoenixfire breed, it will take away its Alabaster Trait.

How to Use the Breed Horses in Palia

After breeding and customizing your horses in Palia, you can ride them as mounts once they are adults. You cannot use “baby” age horses as mounts. If you have gotten some unique traits on a horse, and don’t want to wait for it to grow, then feed the “Insta-grow Cookie” to that horse to age it to Adult instantly.

Once you have an Adult horse, you can choose it as the current mount under the new “Mounts” tab in the Collection. After selecting the horse as the current mount, you can ride it freely anywhere in the Palian world.
