Storing horses and stables

Hey all, I've gone back as far as I could through the forums without risking blindness and haven't found anything regarding my question. I apologize for asking again if the matter has already been discussed to death.

I recently added stables and horses to my farm and I really hate them...they wander everywhere refusing to stay in their fences and I find it just a little nasty that they stand right in the food mills :rolleyes: So my question is...can I delete or store the horses and stables? I honestly don't care if I lose them, the gold I spent or the tickets I used...just want them gone. I sound so cruel but I swear they are pooping in my pie ovens...the bacon pies haven't been the same since I bought them! ;)

Thanks guys

Basically, no.

Sorry.

Yours wander all over your farm? Mine never stray too far from their stable.

I only have one horse and he has a large paddock in the front right hand corner of my farm which has two external borders beyond which he cannot stray. He only ever leaves the paddock when I wake him up, and sometimes he takes off backwards, through the internal fence and hedge, but if I call him with the whistle he returns, turns around and stays in the paddock all the time until he falls asleep outside his stable again. Good as gold! Maybe re-think where you have put your horses and how much space you have given them?

Yeah, I freaked, too when I saw my first horse stomping in and out of the dairy.
I put my horses and all the pets, really, on the right side of my farm. it has a picket fence separating it from the rest of the farm. there are a lot of the original trees and rocks there, in addition to a lot of apple and cherry trees I used to decorate with. There are also some regular decorations, too. There is one gap in the picket fence, but it is guarded by a gnome I picked up from WOF.
Although the dogs and cats wander wherever they want to, the horses seem content to stay on their side of farm, actually, they seldom leave their corner, even though they have all the right side to roam. I guess I placed too much stuff in there for the computer to generate a path for them. Either that, or they're supplementing the carrot diet with all the apples and cherries they can eat!

yea mine never wander far from the stable, i find that even more annoying! i placed the stable towards the right end of my farm i can hardly tell i have a horse! :( anyway i think its normal they go through fences and stuff. horses are like the other non-playable characters. the truck goes through the foxes and the little people can also walk through each other. not realistic but thats how the game is right now.

Put the stable as far as possible from the machinery.Also locate it near the edges of your farm. This will provide some natural boundaries for your horses. They are oblivious to fences and other farm features, but the go only so far from the stable. I love my horses, even though they do wander into trouble now and then. Hope you get to like yours as well.
