WE ARE WASTING ENERGY!!

I think this a great idea that you should consider. So when you take a turn, the horse's energy refreshes to %100. Even if the horse has say %5 left. I think this should be added to the %100, because there are some activities that require more than %100, i think it would be cool to be able to do these activities.
Example:
You train your horse and s/he still has %5 energy left, but you cant do anything else to use up that %5. So you take a turn. The energy refreshes to %100, but what if the remaining energy from before the turn, was added to the %100?

I think this should be considered :D
Thank You!

This is an excellent idea, but what about the hundreds of horses that never get trained? By the end of their lives they would have like 10,000% energy

I don't think that this is realistic because you can't get super human energy from sitting on the couch all day. Those activities are simply too much to ask the horse to do in a days energy so they are not attainable.

The reason they take more energy than the horse has is because those activities are simply too difficult for the horse to currently do. Let's put it this way: can you do absolutely no exercise whatsoever for a year and then go and run a 40km marathon in two hours? You have to build up your fitness before you can do intense activities.

Furthermore, let's put it like this. Let's say that I am fit enough to run 6km a day. If I run 4km today, that DOES NOT mean that I can run 10km tomorrow. If I run 4km today, I will still only be able to run 6km tomorrow.

Once you build your horse's stamina up, all activities will take less energy. You horse will be able to do those activities once you've trained it enough.

As Malakai10 said, you have to work/build up the horse's stamina for it to be able to do more stuff, just like in real life. If the said suggestion were to be added to the game, it would make it too easy to train horses to the point where you might as well not make any horse have an energy bar at all and make this game less realistic and I like this game because it's one of the most realistic horse games around.
