Help with Management

Post by Aurelia »

So I’m a mess here. I opened a center where I train, champ, board, breed, pop, etc and I don’t have a training yet, and I made the mistake of taking a client. The mare and foal were find but the other foals training is slow cause I can’t train. And I’m losing money. My best horses died too. My Belgian finally up and died and he took care of me lol. Without him I’m broke soon.
What I need help with

I need help learning to train. All the guides don’t help. I need someone to go through it with me step by step very slowly.

I need help finding a way to earn an income. I can’t go broke again.

I need help sticking to something. Not giving up on it. (That happened to breeding projects, an old facility, and a school)

I can help a bit with the training at least.

No matter where you are on player skills, you need and will always need to train a horse's stamina first.
Each one of us has a different way to train stamina first and some of us will use a specific regime for competition style training.

But it goes like this:
Stamina (lunge on flat, walk, arena) pretty much until you can't train stamina any more. This will take about 80% of the entire training time of a horse. With no player skills learned, it will look like 7 years or so in about 9 years fully trained. Halfway through player skills, it'll be about 4 years in about 5.5 years. Fully skilled, it'll still take 1 year 10 months (give or take) when the horse is fully trained in 2 years 3 months.

After that, it's training as desired. The basic guide does break it down pretty easily.

However, the guide does have you switching over to collection and impulsion (walk, arena) when stamina is still quite low. Really, it doesn't matter which one you start with, lunge on flat or collection and impulsion.

When stamina is done, switch to jumping obstacles (walk, arena) until agility is complete.

Then ground poles (walk, arena) for tempo and movement.

Then lastly is the speed. I use loose rein, track and walk, though the guide says lunge on flat, arena, gallop. It really doesn't matter which, they both function similarly.

That should get you there. Even when using that basic guide:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6285
And fully skilled, you'll still be able to finish a horse in somewhere under 2 years 6 months. So though the regimes might shift a bit from trainer to trainer, they're all similar enough to complete the horse in the same timeframe.

Is that any more helpful?

As far as projects go, start simple. The recipe quests, the beginning ones are quite simple, if a bit frustrating at times. Take a couple breeds, breed them together, roll the dice to see if the correct new breed pops out. :)
