I Need Tips on Competing and Training Horses!

[matchbottle]

Hey. So.

I have this Cleveland Bay stallion that I'm using to finally start taking training and competing seriously in this game.

Here he is, he's currently my pride and joy and (hint) has a 5-star evaluation for Holstein.



My problem is: I want to do too many things with him.
>> I want to train him.
>> I want to compete him.
>> And I want to breed him.

"Why is that a problem?" you may ask. That is a problem because (1) I don't know what I'm doing, and (2) I go through turns like Trisha Paytas goes through doughnuts. (for breeding purposes).

I have a second account just to hold horses that I don't want to age as quickly BUT. I want to make progress with this stallion and all my mares, and switching from account to account just takes too long. Plus I'd need to age him to train him anyway.

Do you have any advice for me as far as managing my priorities with the horses? And I've never really competed my horses before since I've just been focused on my CB and Holstein herds (working on Einsiedler here pretty soon). I'm not sure what to do, hng.

Tldr; I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing and idk how to do anything but make more horses, thanks.

Training- You could have someone train him for you or do some training skills to train yourself
Competing- You win the most competitions when your horse(s) are trained
Breeding- You stallion has to be at least 3, you can also put him up for stud so other players could breed their mares with him and you can make money in the process.

So I always tell people to start by completing their training courses. This is pretty expensive and time consuming, but if you’re looking to train a lot of horses in the future then it ultimately saves time and money. If you’d like there are also some people who train people’s horses for them.

For my horses, I usually will breed a batch of mares and then when the foals come, I decide which ones I want trained/rehomed/bred. After that I usually will wait a bit before breeding a large amount of mares to keep my horses organized and keep everything better quality- wise.

Using your turns fast can have an advantage as far as how quickly you get new horses, and sometimes progress. I personally don’t use my turns all that fast because I do a lot of training which really slows everything down. This is why public trainers can be very helpful, but they are very expensive.

For competing horses, I usually leave them on my freeze account and manage their competitions from there like many other players. I always have a fully trained horse on my farm for local shows and actual competitions. If I were you, I’d probably slow down the production of the horses and focus on qualities that you want to breed in carefully, and training courses (if you want).

I would recommend you to train and compete with him in Western Trail based on his gold stats. Also, I tend to just train my horses in the stats that they need for that one discipline they specialize in to save time, so he would be trained in agility, balance, stamina, and intelligence for Western Trail. Make sure to train him every day/turn in game. To make your training go faster, you should also upgrade all of your training skills.
Start competing with him as you go along training and enter him in as many competitions as you can. Only use six turns per real life day because this way you will be able to compete much more and your horse will earn so much more points.
Finally, I usually breed my horses once they are ten years old or older. I wanted to keep things short, but I hope this was helpful and informative!
