I've been playing for a while and recently had a small boatload of PEE combo colts. I want to geld the bad ones and keep the best. I'm wanting to learn about tracking training so I can tell which are the highest. Does anyone know of any blogs or forums on here that can give examples of ideal training per week? And possibly examples of what would not be wanted? I'm definitely a little confused!

Thanks in advance!

Not my guide per se, but this is very helpful for ideal weekly training :)

If a horse goes up in a trait every 4 weeks, it’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, that’s great!

(I realized I started this big long thing and I have to go back to work now so I’ll link some blogs here later :)
