A player riding the white horse

The Rent-a-Horse is a service McDonald offers, conveniently located near McD's Jumpin' Livestock and Sophie's Ranch. After fixing his stable, the player can buy or rent horses from it.

Horses

Main article: Mounts

Horses allow much faster movement than walking or sprinting, though they cannot do sharp turns. While the player is dismounted, the horse will follow the player around unless told to stay or return to the player's Stable. Owned mounts will stay in the Stable until the player rides them for the first time that day, whereas the rental horse will follow the player around as soon as they leave their house.

The rental horse can be rented without owning a Stable, and costs 500⁠⁠ for seven days. After the lease expires, McDonald will leave a note in the player's mailbox in the morning to let them know he took his horse back.

The rented horse starts with its stats maxed out, while purchased horses must be trained to their full potential. However, the stats of either of the purchased horses can eventually exceed the stats of the rented horse, and the white horse also has higher maximum stats than the brown horse.

The amounts each stat is already trained to when the player initially rents or buys a horse are below: 

Stats for each horse upon buying or renting
Stats
Skill	Permanent Stable Horse 1 (Brown)	Permanent Stable Horse 2 (White)	Rented Horse
Speed	20%	75%	100%
Endurance Recovery Speed	30%	60%	100%
Jump Endurance Utilization	30%	60%	100%
Dash Endurance Utilization	60%	50%	100%
Loyalty	0%	0%	100%

Loyalty currently serves no purpose.

Mount comparison

The maximum stats each mount can be trained to are as follows.

• The higher the Speed or Endurance Recovery Speed, the faster the corresponding speed is.
• The lower the Jump or Dash Endurance Utilization, the less Endurance either action will consume and the more those actions can be done.
