Hygiene

The horse's hygiene stat is one of the four care stats that you will maintain on the horse.

Description
The hygiene stat on all horses is maintained by cleaning the horse. A player can clean the horse in the wash stalls inside stable building. When a horse's hygiene falls under 30%, a yellow stink cloud with flies will form around it. The horse's hygiene level slowly depletes overtime until it gets to 0%.

Although there is no known side effect to having low hygiene as of the Milk Mystery update, your horse might just appreciate it more if you consistently clean them.

Wash Stalls
In order to restore the horse's hygiene, the player must bring the horse to the wash stalls inside the stable building. There, a player can brush the horse using the brush, pick it's hooves using the hoof pick, and bathe it using the hose. The table below shows amount hygiene % each action replenishes.

Hose
One way a player can restore hygiene is by washing the horse inside the wash stall by interacting with the hose on the back wall. Washing the horse takes approximately 10 seconds and restores 69% hygiene to the horse.



Hoof Pick
Another way to restore hygiene is by using the hoof pick. A player can pick the horse's hooves by interacting with the hoof pick located on one of the side walls. Hoof picking takes approximately 5 seconds and restores 25% hygiene to the horse.



Brush
The last way to restore hygiene is by using the brush. A player can brush the horse by interacting with the brush located on the opposite wall of the hoof pick. Brushing takes approximately 3 seconds and restores 10% hygiene to the horse.
