PCR || Training Method

[slayqueenn2]

Here's the training method I use on my horses, it can be a bit funky at times so I figured to write it down and also for other people to use. There are also sections below that state how you can train your horse for a certain discipline instead of fully training based on the disciplines guide provided by larrisar.

Fully Training

1. Walk, arena, collection & impulsion until stamina gets to around 95%+ (use as much time as you can every turn)

2. Canter, arena, bending & serpentines until agility and strength are maxed out (99%+). Make sure to switch to gallop, arena, lunge on the flat to decrease fatigue and raise speed in between. Do serpentines, take a turn, do lunge, and repeat until agility, strength, and speed are maxed.

3. At this point balance should be about maxed, if intelligence and movement are not switch to collection and impulsion at a trot in 30 minute intervals

(This is a work in progress so if I forget a step this will be updated)

Barrel Racing Training
Based on the stats provided by larrisar in the disciplines guide

1. Training for balance & stamina: Walk in 30 minute intervals in the arena on lunge at the flat.

2. Training for agility & strength: Bending & serpentines at a canter & arena for 30 minutes. To reduce fatigue check the next step.

3. Training for speed: In between serpentines, take a turn and switch to lunge at the flat, gallop for 30 minutes to reduce fatigue and train speed in between.

Cross Country Training
Based on the stats provided by larrisar in the disciplines guide

1. Training for balance & stamina: Walk in 30 minute intervals in the arena on lunge at the flat.

2. Training for strength and agility: Bending & serpentines at a canter & arena for 30 minutes. When fatigue gets too high feel free to train speed same as barrel racing above.

Cutting Training
Based on the stats provided by larrisar in the disciplines guide

1. Training for balance & stamina: Walk in 30 minute intervals in the arena on lunge at the flat.

2. Training for agility & strength: Bending & serpentines at a canter & arena for 30 minutes. To reduce fatigue check the next step.

3. Training for speed: In between serpentines, take a turn and switch to lunge at the flat, gallop for 30 minutes to reduce fatigue and train speed in between.

4. Training for intelligence: Switch to ground drive at a walk for 30 minutes in the arena. This will finish up intelligence, strength, and balance.

5. Training for agility & strength: Bending & serpentines at a canter & arena for 30 minutes. To reduce fatigue check the next step.

Dressage & Driven Dressage Training
Based on the stats provided by larrisar in the disciplines guide

1. Training for balance & stamina: Walk in 30 minute intervals in the arena on lunge at the flat.

2. Training for movement & tempo: Trot & arena for 30 minutes at lunge on the flat.

3. Training for strength: Walk & hills at lunge on the flat for 30 minute intervals until strength is full. This will affect balance and stamina if not already 100% but should not affect fatigue (atleast too much, all these training styles will be tested afterwards!).

Endurance Training
Based on the stats provided by larrisar in the disciplines guide

1. Lunge on the flat at a walk for stamina until you've trained enough to add in a gallop for speed.

2. Around Obstacles in the arena at a walk until tempo and agility are maxed out.

Harness Racing Training
Based on the stats provided by larrisar in the disciplines guide

1. Lunge on the flat at a walk for stamina until you've trained enough to add in a gallop for speed.

2. Ground drive at a trot in the arena for strength and tempo.


More training styles will be coming out soon, right now this is in alphabetical order. Still a WIP so let me know if you have any suggestions (these styles are not tested yet).

Ultimate guide to stats and disciplines illustrated by me: (WIP HERE)

A few new training styles added, let me know if there's anything that needs editing. Still a WIP and more will be added in a second
