Horse Questions

1) Is it possible that I might challenge my own horses some day? I'm asking because I recently challenged horses owned by cooperative members. I know it's randomly generated, but I was curious if that were possible.
2) Am I supposed to collect the gifts indicated on the notice board, or do those get sent to my storage automatically? Or does collecting the gift indicate that I want to be moved up a level? Someone in my cooperative collected the gift and the reports sent to the notice board mailbox started a "new season."
3) The tournament news (reports in notice board mailbox) show when I've won or lost but I can't access information about the competitors, other than probability of winning. Wouldn't it make more sense to let us have access to the details regarding competitors in storage, for future challenges?
4) There are so many reports in the tournament news, it's impossible to comprehend. It's not clear which reports pertain to "home" challenges (when I initiate the challenge) and "remote" challenges (initiated by other competitors). An icon would be helpful to designate which, or even better yet, program the mail to be sent to two different files perhaps?

    1) No clue, doesn't seem likely to me. I also raced a horse of someone in my coop, and lost badly :p
    2) Yes, you should click on the little gift button, to collect the prize, moving up you do automatically.
    New season is a glitch, refresh farm, clear cache and cookies if needed, relog and it'll be back (usually ;) )
    4) As far as I understand, the messages on your tournament board are only about the people who challenged you, when you do the challenging, you don't get one.

    3) More a suggestion than a question. Might make sense, but I personally would forget the details anyway, way too much info.

    1) I don't think so. It will not give any sense to challenge your own horses in a tournament season.
    2) It's up to you... If you do not collect these gifts when it's possible, you automatickly will get them when the season is end.
    3) Read the answer from Gwendolen. :)
    4) All message in the tornament news, are messages about people who have challenge you.

    Yes, collect the gifts when they become available, not collecting them serves no purpose. You will move up (& down) the levels, depending on how many points you have, not whether or not you collected a reward.

    If your friend had the ranch showing a "season break" that is just a display bug & reloading the game should fix it.

    You use the fuel to run the transporter that takes your horse to the competitions... It takes 12 fuel to run a race, etc. When you go to the area for horse competitions, the top left shows your fuel. The fuel you just won will be added to that amount.

    I put my 2 horses in to breed. I got 1 horse to Level 1, the other horse disappeared. This is the second time I have had my second horse disappear. I did not let them go. How do I get my horses back?

    Every time you are breeding 2 horses, you loose both the parents, and get a new horse which is cheaper to train than the parents.

    You can find instructions for horse breeding in this annoncement:
