question about vet skill and also energy when eventing.

Have a technical question you can't find the answer to in FAQ's? Ask it here. Game problem questions that do NOT pertain to things like training advice, what would my horse do well in, how much is it worth.

question about vet skill and also energy when eventing.

First, can anyone tell me what are all the options available to you with 100% vet skill?

Second, I am about to start my first attempt at event training a horse and if that goes well, then eventing it. I've been reading as many training guides as I can find, but one thing I've been wonder is, do horses lose energy when they are run in an event? If so, how many of the events they are entered in can run before you need to turn them? Is it wiser to train your horse some, while you are eventing it or just leave it be and let it use its energy for competing?



:? Just trying to get everything straight before I begin.

I highly recommend the vet skill :yes: The options are Vaccinate, Meth, Tranq, Cure, & Geld a horse for the public (you create the deeds).
The list of stuff:
Give Check up
Study Anatomy & medicine
Vaccinate
Physical Therapy Treatment (type of treatment)
Give Tranquilizer (mellow horse out, -energy)
Give Boosters(make horse more hyper, +energy)
Apply Medicine (treat horse)
Apply Cure (treat horse)

And the service deeds:
Vaccination
Prescription for Tranquilizers
Prescription for Boosters
Deed to treat a horse
Deed to Geld a horse

If you are planning on race training, it is very helpful. As for the eventing, not that I am aware of. I continue training while eventing.

Nope, events are energy free =)

I train during eventing, apart from the last turn. =) (Say you're entering 12 events then stopping for the day, I'd enter 4 events, train, turn, enter 4 events, train, turn, enter 4 events, wait. Then the next time you enter events, you train, turn and continue. =)
