The player can optionally use complimentary fodder for extra bonuses. Fodder buffs are temporary bonuses that can give an extra edge if used right. Fodder buffs stacks, so a stronger effect can be acquired if several of the same fodders is used.
There are several types of fodder:

Form boost - boosts the form
Temperament - makes the horse calmer or more high spirited
