What is up with the shows?

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.

Should the way shows are judged on this game be changed?

What is up with the shows?

Postby hrschic37334 » Sat Feb 05, 2005 11:33 am

I have two quad extro event horses. They're maxxed and leveled. They're doing horrible. You think a quad horse that is the right breed type would win their events.

well there are other factors to, like in some events age is a big one and in dressage disposition and conformation is counted to, and often a horse can be Quad but maybee only 1 or 2 stats are important while level disciplin and surefoot/Movement play a larger role and some horses got 202 in movement and some got 204 so it can vary, plus there is plain simple luck and bad days...

although some are a tad screwed up :wink:

That is how my two are. It is amazing me on what is beating them. They're 9-10 y/o so I know being too old isn't a factor.

Some of the bigger events, like 3-day eventing and jumping seem to be quite random - my horses will have a run of 8s and 9s, then they'll have a winning streak, then they'll go back to losing. :?

Don't forget that horses can also be too young for an event. In many events, the optimum age is around 13, so 9-10 year olds probably won't be beating the more experienced, higher trained horses who are closer to the optimum age.
