I am fairly new to premium and wondering about the barn manager. Is she worth it? I have close to 100 horses. Also, do yall let her do everything she can do or just enter shows?? Honest opinions and thoughts please.

For me personally, 100%. I think she costs 2-3k a month, and that's really not a lot, so price isn't an issues in my opinion. The benefits she has for me, is that I am inconsistent in logging in, so she will show my horses for me, as long as I pay my riders. This is very helpful,as it means I only need to log in one day a week to guarantee full showing benefits. Overall for busy or less bothered players she can be a godsend, and if you don't 100% understand showing mechanics, when to show etc. she is guaranteed to make money.

NVM.

Do I need my horses to be training SD? Or will she manage a mostly AD string?

She will manage any horses you assign to her and enter them in the discipline(s) you choose. For my AD horses I set them to dressage on monday, cross country on wednesday, and jumping on friday.

Ahhh that makes sense! Thank you!!

I always recommend to assign SD horses to the BM.

She will only show horses that are likely to place 8th or better (unless you set the "show all horses no matter what training level they have" checkbox) and usually AD horses often will not have the same amount of training in all disciplines. So you will end up with horses showing only once a week instead of 3 times.

You will have to go through the barns and hand-enter any other show-able horses anyways to get as much earnings as possible from your show horses.
