Training Your Horses

Manual training vs. auto training with upgrade. Foals can start training when they turn 2 years old and can continue to train until they "level off." What does "leveling off" mean? The show grade/levels? Altering (spaying/gelding) your horses and the training bonus.

How do I train my horses?

• • Training, just like in real life, helps prepare a horse for their show career, and to progress up the various levels in shows.
  • Free account members can train their horses once a week.
    • Go to the navigation panel and click the Showing link
    • From the drop down menu select “Train This Horse”
    • 
  • Training is done automatically for upgraded accounts. Please be aware that, due to the number of horses in the game, auto train may take up to 24 hours to complete.

What does "levelled off" mean?

• Levelled off means the horse has reached the limit of its training.

  Horses usually level off roughly when their age is around their PT (Performance Testing) score. A horse will still continue to train and increase their show score but the score won’t raise as fast as it used to and will eventually taper off to earning less than 1 point per training session.

  This does not mean the horse is no longer useful, far from it! Horses that have levelled off continue to hold their total points, and will continue to EARN points as they place in their classes. Just because their training points have levelled off does NOT mean that their performance in the show ring is lacking!
