Horses are the primary means of getting around outside of the train network. Maintaining these comes with some cost, however.

Each horse you keep costs 2 pounds / month to feed. Additionally, you need a Stable component (see Stables Component) for every four horses you own.

You do not need to multiply this capacity for each additional estate you own, even if you travel around regularly (within reason). Just as your estates are all providing room for your servants, your staff arranges temporary room for your horses as well, even if that means putting them up with the neighbours for a night.

Special Horses

Some horses are special, being of exceptional breeding, being faster and more powerful than others or having received special training (such as being cavalry horses or able to deal with crowds).

These majestic creatures need to be kept in better conditions and given better feed than normal horses. Each such horse, costs 5 pounds / month instead of 2.
