Road to the Breeding Shed

Currently there is no map or guideline other than the requirements to get your horse into the breeding shed.

Requirements for Breeding Shed Eligibility
1. Win four tournaments
2. Your horse must achieve $6 million in earnings
3. Your horse must receive 150 votes from the community

Several new players have bred high BSR horses but are not entering them in tournaments that are conducive to get the $ earnings required by entering them too low (multiple times) in general tournaments. Some will also focus on winning tournaments without paying attention to the earnings which could cause problems near the end of the horse’s career. Some players will complain about a trainer’s low balling for entering their horses in lower grade tournaments when they should be in Grade 2 or Grade 1’s. Although there is no rule against it, some trainers get very upset and then we find community members bashing each others in the forums.

What this game needs is a plan (road map so to speak) for trainers to get their horses to achieve that goal, currently there is none. Solution, create one. With a proper plan with the honor system and the trainers understanding of the requirements players with horses that have shed potential can utilize this model to get their horses to the breeding shed.

What we need is someone to put together a plan to have new players or veteran players that have finally bred a high BSR horse that would best serve the trainer and the community at large.

I recommend that flyingdaaka put together this plan to cover the, “Road to the Breeding Shed”. True, he does not have a horse in the breeding shed but he is sure of what trainers should not do as far as low balling and what the expectations are of the honor system that if not followed could cause negative comments from some members of the community. Flyingdaaka has also thoroughly read and researched vasdef’s writings and opinions so I am sure he will do a respectable job. Being the critic that he is, he will do his utmost to insure that he does a good job thus avoiding being criticized himself. I think this would be a very constructive project for him to undertake and if successful I would personally recommend him for an apple (from me thats saying alot).

The past is the past, it is what it is, let’s stop bashing and dwelling on how we feel it should have been by providing members of the community a plan to how to properly get it done and increasing a trainers chance of having their horse(s) making it to the breeding shed.

This is just my opinion for a possible solution. Better plans, ideas and/or solutions welcome.
