I decided to polish off my MFoMT game and start a new file. I'm in Winter now. First year. And Barley has yet to give me a horse. Yes, I've talked to him. A few times. No, we're not best buddies. I thought he was supposed to give it to you by at least Fall...? It's Winter 4 or something.
Thanks. I did read that already, but it didn't say you had to be really good friends with him. I don't remember befriending him in other files, and I still got the horse. And I made sure I had at least talked to him.
Yeah, you'd have to get it pretty early into Year 1, because doesn't he show up at the beginning of Year 2 and either get angry with you for not taking good care of it, or let you keep it because you've done such a good job? It sounds like your game might be somewhat messed up in this case...?
