The yearling paddock gives young horses a place after the foal stage. Players report that eligible foals move there as they age when the paddock is already built. If a yearling stays in the stable, try opening the horse's Manage menu and changing its Stable Group.
Prepare the paddock for young horses
Build the yearling paddock when you are planning for foals. Players report that a foal stays with its mother first, then moves to the yearling area as it matures. Leave room before you need it.
Use Stable Groups when a yearling stays behind
Players in the Steam yearling paddock discussion reported that dragging a yearling could leave it in the stable. One player moved it by selecting the horse and changing its group from Manage.
Plan for the next stage too
Check the yearling's care and training options while it lives in the paddock. Keep an adult group in mind as it matures, especially if you also take in visiting yearlings or keep stallions and mares apart.
