New Features

• Colorizable Horses — horses can now be born with unique natural coat colors! Each horse has 4 independently colored regions: mane/tail, body, face marking, and hooves. Colors are randomly generated from a curated palette of realistic tones when purchased.
• Coat Color Breeding — when two horses breed, each color region independently picks from the mother or father (50/50 per channel). No mutations occur, so the only way to introduce new colors is by purchasing new horses. Breed selectively to get the perfect look!
• Rare Face Markings — 10% of horses are born with a visible face marking (a different color from the body). Most horses have a uniform face matching their coat.
• Mount Colors Persist — when you ride your horse, it keeps its breeding colors. Your character appears on top with their own outfit while the mount underneath shows the horse's unique coat.

Improvements

• Halter Stair Follow — leashed animals now follow you up and down stairs! If the animal is more than 4 tiles away when you change floors, the halter slips off automatically.
• Cyclopedia Reorganized — the Ranching tab is now the default tab. Items and Bestiary tabs have been hidden.
• All horse variants unified — every horse now displays as "Horse" regardless of internal variant, including in the Pet Book and Animal Info panel.

Balance Changes

• Tree growth slowed — all trees now take 3 hours per stage instead of 2. Fruit regrow after harvest is also 3 hours. Wheat is unchanged.

Bug Fixes

• Highscores — removed the Fishing category from the in-game highscore dropdown.
