The general daily strat from now until the next Horse Race is to wake up, go outside to your horse, brush your horse, then go back to sleep. During the summer it is highly recommended to save regularly in case of a typhoon, at the very least save on Thursdays. Typhoons on Saturday would cause a big problem in the Shopping Channel schedule. Typhoons as well as rain also mess up Horse affection.

Do NOT go outside at all, just sleep in

Summer 19:

Check shopping Channel then warp to the inn. Pet/brush the horse then go to bed, do not go outside the house the normal way because a cutscene will pop up.

[Note about Dog Frisbee preperation: You will need to practice playing Frisbee with your Dog for a Power Berry. Frisbee with the dog until he's able to average 20m or so. You'll know when they're easily able to average that much because the meter will go up a tick. On average you need about 5-7 days of successful training before Spring Year 2 Day 30. It'll depend on how cooperative the Dog wants to be. You'll want to make sure the days you bring your Dog to practice are all Sunny days. You cannot bring your dog to frisbee practice during the winter.

Ideally for most of the days you'll take care of it the days you need to go to the inn. You can start as soon as your dog is an adult, which usually happens around Autumn 1]


After Frisbee practice, head back to your farm. Pet/brush the horse then go to bed, do not go outside the house the normal way because a cutscene will pop up.

Once the 3rd round is over buy 30 broaches and put each one in the basket individually.

Exit Town Square and you'll head back to your house. Grab dog and sleep.
