Hello, I am interested in this game ever since I saw horses were added.
I am not mostly for the fighting, but I would like to use a bow if I had to. I am more interested to know if this game would let me be a farmer and horse trainer – so I would go collect foals, train them up and then sell them to people. Would this work as a feasable way to play? or this game is more about raiding and PvP…
You can be a stable master, but no you can’t sell followers (edit you can sell/trade freshly broken thralls, pets, horses. Just not after they have been placed for leveling).
Essentially for the horses, they act just like the slaves you collect in the game (save for the acquisition part. Thralls you have to knock out, drag back to a wheel, and then break them. Horse, you find out in the wild and just pick them up.)
You then grow them from a foal to a adult horse that you then can ride and level up.
However, regarding horses (and the thrall system in general):
On the farming and selling side, I suppose you could farm the other materials and there is no restriction on trading those. However:
For a quick view of what the game is about:
I am sure theres plenty of things I will miss that others do in game because once again, people largely find their own place in the game.
After I finished the survival aspects, the dungeons, and know the map like the back of my hand, my game time is almost primarily building, and farming resources to facilitate building.
That said, I do really like building in this game (beats games like ark and minecraft IMO), but thats really the only thing that holds interest for me anymore after 1k+ hours of playing. That said, before I did everything and the game was new, exploring and figuring out the game 1 - 60 was a blast.
Strong recommend not using the wiki until a absolutely last resort. Its much more enjoyable figuring out things and finding out things on your own.
Thank you for the in depth answer. This truly answers my question. Many thanks!
Any time. Have fun and enjoy if you chose to go through with it! There are a lot of great things in the game.
If it didn’t meet your desires, good luck to your all the same 
Good overview, but I would like to mention that horses do have one other useful application… they are prodigious poop machines! Leave them in the stable and feed them plants, and they quickly produce an enormous amount of dung for your compost heap.
This is true.
I am sorry I neglected the poo producing side of horses.
(My buddy keeps gathering it up and piling it up behind my horse like it has a problem or something) 
Actually you can sell horses, I gifted 4 horses on an Official pvp server.
The only caveat is the horses you place, would need to be “floor models” because
as stated above they are yours and can’t be traded.
However, you can put trained but unplaced horses in a freezer (it prevents them from expiring), then give/sell the unplaced horse to whoever you want, you could also make and store different types of saddles
The horses from the freezer would be unleveled, but would belong to whoever places them in the world. a way to trade, is place an unlocked chest then put the horse and saddle in the chest.
If you choose to do this I would suggest a private server with heavy RP elements, Because every player can build a stable and train horses. So RP is advised to have customers. RP also has the benefit of using the coins as currency.
I don’t RP myself, but I imagine you would need to shop around for the right server with people who would appreciate your contribution.
Not to contradict you, but just so I am clear on what you are stating (or gain knowledge that I didn’t have) you mean, raise the horse from foal to mare, but not level at all, correct?
I was using the perspective of thralls/horses you leveled.
But you are 100% correct in that freshly broken or raised horses that have not been placed or leveled at all could still be a traded commodity.
I suppose I should have been more specific in my initial post.
Correct, you take the horse directly from the training stable and place it in a preservation box.
I have such a box in my base right now with spare horses in it.
for the benefit of new players, you need to put Ice in the box as well to stop the decay process.
One could also build multiple training stables, grown horses show up in the stable, as stated also produce manure, and the customer could take the horse directly from the stable. this method doesn’t require a preservation box, but does require feeding the horses. so it would fit right in with a RP type environment. 
Hey, possible new player,
Conan is great fun. Give it a try. There’s lots of people with thousands of hours of play in this game. You’ll die a lot in the first day, but don’t get frustrated. You’ll get the hang of it and find there is a very rich gameplay open to you.

You can be a stable master, but no you can’t sell followers.

Pardon the pun but, horse pucky.
I give away followers to noobs on our server, and sell them greaters or horses.
To the OP,
We have been playing Conan Exiles since early release. There has been some good stuff,a nd some not so good stuff. Over all we play 1-4 hours a night, and most weekend. We love the heck out of it.
Horses are not easy to learn to ride. There are places on the map, you can not take them. My high school girl friend had horses. They would go any where my dirt bike could. These horse not so.
On archery, its been under powered and broke for a long time. We only use them for gassing boses, and telling PvE players to behave.
Yah, I conceded to that in following posts. Just didn’t correct my initial. I was thinking along the lines of leveled up followers. I didn’t accurately express that point.
