Re: [BY DESIGN] [HR] Horses come into house autonomously

Heya @crinrict 

Also, the alternative was this:

Which we decided was "real creepy" and went with the door option.

    @EA_Cade sad to hear. I can lock the doors but then I need to unlock them when I do want the horse in the house.

    Oh well.

    @EA_Cade I think this is a bit disappointing but fair enough (Though them looking through the window would be cool)

    Thank you for responding and clarifying this. I would be fine with that if it seemed to work, but for me, I have all the doors of my house locked for my toddler not to get out and for my horses not go get in, and neither appears to do diddley squat. So, at this point, i will either keep working on it, or decide to just try to live with chasing the toddlers in and the horses out. But I do appreciate the clarification. 

  • @Khaat It won’t necessarily help with toddlers, but horses can’t use stairs. So if you put the house up on a foundation it should at least keep the horses out.

    I thought that a single level platform would help keep them out because as @PipMenace says, they won't go into a house on a deck. But just having a single level platform actually doesn't work in the same way as a deck and the horse steps up onto it. The only way to stop them is to add a little step to the platform and the horse won't use the step (images attached before and after). I only had the front door locked for horses on my new build because it was on flat ground, but the back of the house is on a platform and Nougat just moseyed right on into the kitchen every morning to say Suly Suly. On one occasion, leaving a little present on the floor for his person while she was eating breakfast. Once the step was added, Simone got the "listen to horse" socialisation on her queue while she was indoors but then it vanished as Nougat couldn't get up the step.

    Poor Nougat, he was allowed indoors when he was a foal but now he's just too big!

    @ReneHollyDesign1 look what was happening to me 🤣 even solid walls and furniture didn't keep mischievous Nougat out of the kitchen! But the step stopped all of it, phew.
