I know horses get into trouble because the game wants you to look at that specific horse. I wish I knew exactly what it is I'm suppose to see, especially when it's a horse I already have kind of sat aside to use for breeding. Like this guy. I have pretty much decided he is currently in the running to be my 3rd gen herd stallion for my Inferno herd. He got into trouble. What about him did the game want me to see?

I've heard it's about inconsistency but have never bothered to make horses that already Test consistent but get in trouble into perfectly consistent horses... but that may not be what its about anyway.... and I'm pretty sure that you can breed perfectly consistent to perfectly consistent and still get inconsistent foals....

Well, he's consistent......consistently loosing lol which is ok with me because he's going to be a breeder anyways. You can't expect a good breeding horse to also be a good showing horse lol

They can test consistent and still have a 2 point +/- swing on show scores. A perfectly consistent horse has no swing.

I have honestly never found a correlation between damages and something about horse. I looked over the horses in my own herd couldn't find anything. I may analyze again because my sample size was a bit small.

2hbs? The game doesn't want anything. Any horse can do damage that tiny.

fj1482 · Jun 19, 2017 7:29 AM

I though any horse that does damage is because the game is trying to draw attention to It?

Nope. Horses have the ability in real life to cause injury to themselves or others, and this is how it it put into the game. Most only do a few points here and there. Myself, I just had one that had already done 24 points, just do another 34 points. Now that is one you might want to get rid of. I did, because it was eating up the money it was making for me, but I don't do it unless it racks up a batch of bad points.

I usually check horses that are reported with more than 5 hbs damage, then compare their point total with the amount of damages. Most of the time, I figure that their contribution to my daily showing bonus will outweigh the cost of this time's damage, since that is a one time expense, and the showing bonus keeps adding up.

I even have a few horses with a string of damages over time that adds up to more than 20 or even 30 hbs. So long as their point total is at least a couple hundred points, they are free to stay in my barn.

I just wish my real life horse only did $2 worth of damage. $400 vet bill for a scratched cornea this weekend. And that time he slipped through the hotwire, caved in the doors on my tack shed and dragged my fancy hunt bridle (and everything else in the shed) through the mud on his quest for food, yeah, that cost more than $2. There wasn't even any food in the tack shed!!!

I've had perfect foundations and RS horses do 1 or 2 hb of damage so it's not totally based on inconsistency because those horses are guaranteed to be perfectly consistent. It seems like the really small damages are just random. I once got a message that one of my horses did 0 hbs of damage which confused me because why give me a message for 0 hbs of damage?

Dinascar · Jun 19, 2017 12:22 PM

It's random I'm sure. I have had great horses do damage and I have had lots of poor ones who never do damage :)
