Show horses
  • I do believe I know the answer to soon to be asked question but I need to confirm cause I see a lot of discussion on show horses and the income they produce.

    If any given horse is Profit: -5 they are not producing income correct? So if I'm looking at all information correctly every horse I have that shows that has a -# in red they are not earning but costing me HBs, correct?

    You earn a 2634 hb's weekly bonus from showing.
    This week you earned a net profit of -942 hb's.
  • Yeah, but the bonus you earn is greater than the net profit/loss, so you are doing something right! It's not the $$ it's the POINTS you want.

  • According to what I've been told, you are incorrect.

    What older players have told me is that on the horse's page, their profit or loss is based only on their entry fees and prize money earned (direct money they get for placing well in a show, not show bonus). So a horse with 100 points and a -75hb profit earned is actually gaining you 75 hbs every week in show bonus money (you earn 3 hbs for every 4 points you currently own). They aren't placing highly enough at shows to make enough in prize money to cover their entry fees, but they are still earning their keep in show bonus.

    On your stable page, where it tells you your show bonus and net profit, again, the two are mutually exclusive. Your net profit is again your profit or loss based on entry fees and prize money earned but doesn't take into account your show bonus. As long as your show bonus is larger than your net loss, you are making hbs every week! (it also doesn't take into account whatever your weekly salary is).

  • Yeah... if a horse isn't leveled off especially (it says so on its page next to Training:), don't even look at their net profit, because -5 hb can change in a single show, and it will fluctuate wildly as they level up and level off. A leveled off horse has reached the highest training level it will reach. In the past that was the time to evaluate whether the horse had finished off well, but even that doesn't matter with the new points system.

    The only time to cull show horses, especially horses who have accumulated any points at all, is if they are consistently in dead last place. There are very few who are that bad. Even your 7th out of 12 finisher is earning points for your stable. Keep 'em. Get more.

    As a stable your weekly show earnings will quite often be negative. But -1188 is really nothing when your points are earning you hundreds of thousands of hb's per week.
  • This was the easiest and shortest explanation for me to understand. When Abbey wrote, Keep 'em, get more, that is the best way to make your showing bonus higher, which in the end gets you more bonus. Not individual horse's page profit. As both have said above, look at the Points of the individual horse's page, not the profit.
  • Performance, if you have room for a few more show ponies in your barn, private message me and I will get you set up to adopt some of my high point ponies.
  • When you buy a horse do you get to count their points as points in your stable to earn you money? Or can you only use points you earn?
  • Hidden, you get 'em when you buy the horse, and they count towards your total. That's why you and I have been wrangling over high pointed horses in the auction the past couple of days! :P
