Added
- Universal trade system, if you go to another stables manager profile, there is a new trade tab. You can now trade horses, cash, shares and breeding contracts against horses, cash, shares and breeding contracts. This is a super flexible trade system, where you can do big multi horse trades for example. This is an addition to the trade/buying systems we already have for now, we are thinking if we should still keep them or just move to this system fully. This system will better support more interesting trades/items in the future, like the breeding contract.
