"kbContent":"There are two ways to buy a horse. First, many players have horses on Auto-sell. You can check these by going to a town hall and looking at the horses for sale, or you can look at a player (the '?' by their name) then scroll down to their list of horses. Any horse that has a '$' by the name is for sale. The price can be viewed by looking at the horse. You must be at the player or, if they own a ranch with a barn, their ranch to buy the horse. The other way to buy a horse is if the other player offers to trade the horse for a certain amount of money. This can only be done when the two of you are on the same spot."
