Ok so some weeks you train the bars are going to go up.
If a horse goes up in a trait every 4 weeks, itÂ’s strong in that trait.
Every 5 weeks, average
Every 6 weeks, weak
Worse than every 6, poop.
Normally people track by putting the number of bars for each week.
Example:
3-111111
4-112122
5-222222
And so on.
This makes it easy to see strengths and weaknesses.
An example of good training for a horse training in all disciplines:
4-221211 (personally if a horse goes up 2+bars on week 4 I call it good)
5-222222 (you want all bars up by week 5 ideally.)
6-222222 (since all bars are up it will be a bit before they go up again)
7-222222 (still waiting)
8-332322 (see the same bars that went up on week 4 are up again)
9-333333 (week 9 is like week 5, you want all up ideally)
10-333333 (waiting again)
11-333333 (waiting)
12-443433 (like weeks 4 and 8)
13-444444 (like weeks 5 and 9)
Now occasionally if a horse is super strong in a trait, it may go up on a week 3,7, or 11 (three weeks after it last went up). This is uncommon in All discipline horses so if it happens, thatÂ’s great!
(I realized I started this big long thing and I have to go back to work now so IÂ’ll link some blogs here later :)
