Money management and saving tips?

Post by RoyalCrownAcres »

I have never been able to have more than 500k at once. I was wondering how people earn money well. I have a few nice show horses, but they usually get to a certain level (sometimes 3, sometimes 7) and then start losing. It doesn’t matter if I drop them a level or not, once they reach a certain point, they drop quite a bit. I’ve started buying horses cheap of the market to train and sell, but because training takes 2-3 in game years and it takes a bit of irl time, it’s not always reliable. I used to train for the public, but with real life school, horses, and family I can no longer do that. I enter horses in local and player comps. I also have a few show horses on my side account that I enter regularly. I was wondering what your money making tips are?

Well, if you enter contests you might win some money. Then to save it, just see how much and make a little budget sheet. Good luck!

I recommend contests where you can earn money. I also recommend private training if you don't mind to train. If you have a frozen account you could keep savings in that account in case you need it. When entering comps, make sure that the prize money is higher than the price and the show is a good fit for your horse. :) Hope these help!

It depends on if you want to earn money quick: in this case a grinder in locals is the best way to go.
Or earn money for the long run: in this case it might be best to find a project, stick with it, then when your goal is met, sell them to the community. Certain projects can earn quite a bit of money when selling to the community, IF... and it's a BIG 'IF', you have something that the community wants.
For instance, a high stat-ed arabian won't necessarily earn you a lot of money. But a high stat-ed arabian that comes from a long line of high earners and record breakers, would certainly spark quite a bit of interest.

As for saving tips... don't purchase things. Enter player-made competitions that have an entry fee at least half the pot when there are no horses entered (it's easy to subtract half the entry fee per horse, if there are horses already entered). Enter high-pit competitions only if your horse has a chance of winning or placing (which means it's scores must be at the same level of two of the best horses already entered).
If the player-made competitions don't match what I suggested, avoid them, if you want to make money from them.

You can also take on mini-projects that other players need, such as breeding an appropriate recipe horse. Although these may take time and certain aspects may be difficult (like what the player wants), you may find doing mini-projects could be quite lucrative, if you accomplish your goals quick and produce them with good results, you may find that your services sought after.

So it all depends on if you want money quick, or money in the long run.

I tend to buy young horses with good stats and conformation, train them up, get them a few titles and then stud them out for a fair price. You'll be surprised how much people will pay for a good stud, especially the Thoroughbreds with 63+ speed. That just my tip. Otherwise, just save up as best you can, try to just focus on one thing, may solely training horses? People will pay good money for that type of stuff. I will be hosting a contest soon with the Gran Prize of $1,000,000 and would love if you would enter it!

I've acquired about 45 million in this game, and these are my personal tips that helped me get to this point:

1. Offer desirable stallions for stud.
This is how I make a good chunk of my money. I breed racing Thoroughbreds just to offer the stallions for stud for about 25k a breeding. At this moment in time, I have about 6 standing at stud that are used regularly by other players. I also have a high movement stallion standing at stud on my side account, as well as a 65 speed Thoroughbred stallion standing at stud for 75k, and various other rarer breed stallions around 5-10k. This alone keeps me afloat and my bank account steadily growing. So go on the market and look for a desirable stallion: whether that be a 66 speed Thoroughbred or a 66 strength Belgian, and put him up for stud. It will be an investment, but a worthy one. Also- make your stud ads stand out. I've noticed since taking the time to make my stud ads look nice made players notice my ad and use my stallions more. If you'd like me to show you how to do so, I'm more than willing to give you some tips!

2. Invest in/breed a Level 10 grinder that you can also compete in competitions.
Grinders are also very important to me, and having a good one is crucial. I am a big breeder, so I need to make sure my grinder is making more money for me per turn than my horses are eating. I also have a theory that you get more turns awarded to you by Level 10 shows, but it's simply a theory :lol: . My grinders are duel purpose in which they are also my competition horses. Competitions, depending on what discipline you're showing in, will earn you a nice chunk of change as long as your horse does well. I also breed my own grinders, versus buying them from other people.

3. Breed a rarer breed of horse and sell off the foals.
Pretty self explanatory, and this one may take a little while if you're breeding from scratch. I bred Newfoundland Ponies when there was only a couple in the game, and sold them for 50k a pop, and currently have a stallion at stud for 25k. I can offer the stallion for that much since I'm the only player in the game that's currently offering that specific breed for stud. I will say he isn't used super often, but he is used and I graciously welcome the extra 25k now and again.

4. Contests
I wouldn't rely on this too much, but keep your eye out for high-prize contests. There are some very generous players on here that host million dollar contests and it doesn't hurt to enter. I won 10 million from a contest and it definitely was awesome lol.


I hope this was helpful! If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I posted a new topic where I am selling a bunch of horses, such as Andalusians, Friesians, 1 Thoroughbred, and some other breeds. But no one seems interested.... Is there something I am doing wrong? (the topic is called ¨Friesians & Andalusians For Sale CHEAP)

One thing that puts you at a disadvantage is you cannot place all your horses for sale at once because of not being premium. Which it totally fine! But it may take you longer to sell all of your horses. I often go peruse the market just for fun and end up buying (unnecessary) horses. I know a lot of other people do too, it's easy of access.

I would say just be persistent, keep bumping that post, have as many horses for sale as you can (I think it's 2 at a time for non-premium players) and make your horses on the market stand out.
