Strength?

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.

Strength?

Postby Elspeth|G » Tue Jul 21, 2009 5:56 pm

I have a few 110. Pheno Strength Vlad fillies. Would they be good for Driving or any Strength-related events?
Id like to get into eventing my Vlads, but I dont want to waste a broodmare if the birth stat isnt high enough.

Please help. :D

I've got some gypsy vanners with that same str. They are doing fairly well in jousting. I also have an Italian Heavy Draught in driving, and he started with a 104 str. He is doing well too, but is teamed with a Shire :D

With jousting and driving, you have to remember the build of horses. I've tried some stocky draft breeds out in both and had them tank fabulously because they were stocky build instead of draft. I'd never thought the build affected the eventing till then.

Okay thanks.
They are both stocky builds;

So I might train them in driving.
Any good guides?

What breed type are they? Jumping might be an idea if they're sport or warmblood.
