Try scratching your horse’s favorite spot during care. Players report that scratching the right spot can raise confidence, so watch your own horse’s reaction rather than expecting a fixed gain every time.
Check One Horse at a Time
Try the interaction while you are working with a particular horse. Pay attention to the reaction and compare it when you scratch a different spot.
Watch for a Confidence Change
Community reports describe a confidence gain from a favorite spot. Check your horse’s confidence after the interaction before assuming it worked.
Use Training for a Bigger Confidence Goal
When confidence is holding up your riding plans, use the desensitization course. The course lets you respond to curiosity or worry around a frightening object.
See the official Horses of Hoofprint Bay Steam page for game information.

Does every spot give the same result?
Player reports describe a favorite spot. Use the horse’s response to narrow it down.
How many times should I scratch?
A fixed daily limit is not verified. Check whether the interaction is still helping before repeating it.
Can I also train confidence?
Yes. The developer describes a dedicated desensitization course.
