Barley should have brought it to you sometime in the spring, did you not get it?

Or are you talking about the horse maturing?

Have you met Barley?
I don't think he gives it to you unless you meet him first.

So you didn't talk to him for three in game years? The longest I went when I first bought the game was a week and that was just from never running into the guy or knowing he was the source of the horse, heh.

Anyhow, three years... harsh. ;O

I made sure I talked to all the townspeople the first time I went into the town.

I thought that was the natural thing to dooooo.

So I didn't have problems with acquiring a horse.

So you have to talk to him to get the horse? I don't think i ever did, but i might have.
When i start the game, i only introduce myself to the bachelorettes :D

Yeah, I have this thing where I don't like to be considered rude.
Even to imaginary folk. D:
Weird, huh?

I wouldn't consider it weird, because i have that feeling too. Even though they don't exist, still...

No, not really, I do that to everyone, real or imaginary.

You have to talk to him behind the counter, not in front of it.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it qualifies as meeting him, even if you're only doing business with him and talking to him from in front of the counter.

I could be wrong.

Usually, whenever I start a new game, if I talk to someone in front of the counter, they don't introduce themselves the next time I talk to them.

I would talk to them behind, so i actually know i'm doing it right, and a there's no chance i'm doing it wrong, it only takes a second longer.
And alos i never remember introducing myself to Barley, and i still got the horse.

Lol, maybe I'm just completely off base, and it has nothing to do with Barley.
*shrug*
Oops, if that's the case.

I was just walking out one morning and he came, i don't remember introducing myself to anyone other than Popuri.
