Oh my goodness, after writing that I looked up and enough horses have sold to have me at 205k. This is from creating this account just a little bit a while this evening. Maybe this strategy will help get me a basic upgrade and get a new barn before I get around to filling the stalls I already have!... I will say pulling this off is using my knowledge of how to use the forum and find herd helpers, finding profitable ones, using market knowledge and checking the lifetime earnings to figure out best price to sell them, etc. As a new user I probably would just be creating random creates and filling my barns full of foals till I had no money... That is actually what I did my first time... but yeah.

Bid on a bunch of horses at auction and noticed the extra price of pointed horses over 10. I know this is to encourage people to keep the game tidy, but if I was a new player that was struggling with income this would lean me away from older horses. Don't know what this means, but just thought I would bring that up

I keep on forgetting to train horses, I think that has been something that has happened every time I have had a free account, and that is a thing a newbie might not think of which will help them even with the pointed creates. Maybe add a "You have horses that have not been trained" notice, similar to the "You have foals in the pasture" note on the home page?

One thing I noticed, it let me click the add tack achievements even though I had simply bought horses with tack. Is that ok, or do you want to change that? Also even now I find tack tricky to manage, usually my own fault for not reading things well enough or putting color codes in the wrong box, but maybe if there can be a link to a tutorial of how to do the tack system on the achievement that could help people do that instead of just buying horses with tack (I did not do that in purpose, I was bidding on a lot of HT horses in auction and they happened to have tack)

I definitely agree that the enter barn button should be at the top like it used to be... I thought maybe I would get used it, and I have to some extent, but once you start getting into 1k stall barns it's a lot to scroll through all that to get to the button. It's manageable for me on desktop but not really on mobile, one of the reasons why I don't play much if ever on mobile.

Ok, good to know. Like is it a can't be higher up period? Or maybe could it like on the side either under achaivment tasks or maybe put it as an extra tab of my show entries beside the individual horses one where basic upgrades plus can also do a click to enter the barns through that? I have no know what schedules, logistics or computer language would dictate though.

Just did my first month's breeding here. I will say I did not wait for full pasture bonus and kinda created my foundations more impusivly on what looks/ sounds cool and didn't check till after that I bred a perfect foundation to largely exceptional mares... I also bought everything I could from the HT breeder auction sale, so has 35 foals from a range of foundation to 4th gen stallions bred to their generation of stud... but the foundations unfortunately got the short end of the stick with the wrong rank special for a stallion for them. out of 35 foals, 18 passed breeding advice with representation from every generation but the last that only had 3 foals anyway, no colts were good, no filly was superior to their moms in foundation, obviously. I would have had more pass if HT didn't have such amazing stock that I got 2 gold 4th gen fillies and auto spayed all the blue fourth gen fillies, only 2 3rd gen passed comparison to the third gen mares I had...
So I guess the thing is, if players get more out of the I need to create a bunch and learn how to make a great herd out of scratch right away and but horses, ideally from the same breeder so they have the same standards it can really help them...but it does add to growing pains because it does add I high standard to work with. I will say I am on a high from the fillies that did pass, especially the gold papered ones 2 weeks into the account, especially since I have the structure to hopefully get a good 4th gen boy to pair with them... but the whole breed foals and have them mostly turn into show ponies, even though I know is needed, can be hard.... And now my barns are getting full with foals. XD I know they will be needed to hold the fort when the pointed creates start aging out... But that is long term. Fortunately I will be able to get a barn when I need to.
Getting horses from sales or auction also helps get lots of fancy genes that would be hard to get otherwise!

Thanks. I sent you 2 Brand New Day straws and 25k.
