The Riding School is a rotating quest booth that starts at September 15, 2015 to October 3, 2015. The citizens of Farmville are teaching their children how to ride various animals by setting up a makeshift school.
Building [ ]
The booth is automatically placed near the Foraging Area. The materials to build the grill are:
5 Hitching Posts (Post)
5 Training Boots (Ask)
5 Training Saddles (Ask)
Amount of materials may vary. Each item can be bought for 2 Farmbucks each. Alternatively, players may buy the finished building for 27 Farmbucks.
After all materials are gathered, at least 2 Neighbors are needed to complete the building. One it is finished, players will be able to access the quest's main menu.
