We had a recent Explore Update to fix the encounters so that they are more in line with the bravery rating and training. I've seen comments that members are having trouble getting their horses rated. So we have a poll to ask if I need to tweak it a bit to make it harder. Poll Question: Is Explore bravery rating too difficult?Total Votes: 81
Yes : | 10 | 12% | | No : | 5 | 6% | | It's just right. : | 61 | 75% | | Other (Describe) : | 5 | 6% | | You have cast your vote.

It's kind of hit-or miss. The other day, I had 6 E wilds back-to-back spook in under 3 moves, then a half hour later, it took 36 moves for a S brave to spook. Would it be possible to change it so unrated horses get more obstacles (and fewer photo opportunities) regardless of hidden bravery? It feels like explore is heckling me when it takes all 50 moves to rate a P or below :')

I don't feel like changes are needed. Yes, sometimes horses take a long time to spook but that's what wormy apples are for, and those stock regularly in the shop

True, though they only do so much😞I can(and often do) use over half a dozen per horse and it still ain't enough to make them spook lol

I agree that it's hit or miss. It definitely takes longer to test braves now, but I can still get 6 or 7 rated in a good run, where I could do 8 or 9 before so I don't think it's that much of a difference. And you do still get E or W braves that will spook right away (thank god!). I wouldn't like to speak for those who have loads and loads to test though- I have more than the average for sure but nowhere near the number of the bigger bravery stables.

I was JUST asking bravery breeders (the breeders themselves, not the generalized community) the other day how they tolerate it... And the consistent answer was that they barely do. . If you've got one or two horses, the current way to rate them is very chill and very comfortable. . But if you specifically breed for bravery? Not only do you have to hold the foals for a whole month since they can't be ridden (extra space taken up), but then actually rating them takes soooo much time. I really don't want to talk about the sheer number of times I've tried bravery breeding and then lost motivation when it came to rating the foals. . Sadly I was told there's a reason finding breeders dedicated purely to bravery is uncommon.

I don't breed bravery, but I always test all the wilds I catch after capture days and I haven't really noticed a change in the difficulty when it comes to rating horses. Before it, in a good run I could do 8 or 9 like Minerva says but there would be plenty where I could only get 2 or 3. That's still pretty much what I'm experiencing.

Agree with this, hate that it takes below P rating awhile to actually spook using up 25-the whole 50 moves :/ KPH Equestrian said: It's kind of hit-or miss.

I really don't want to talk about the sheer number of times I've tried bravery breeding and then lost motivation when it came to rating the foals. This!! I have a pasture specifically for bravery and my foals take up a bit of room and I can't rate them or even get a head start on training in the round pen. I wish there was a way to test it before they were 2, kind of how we can train yearlings before they're able to show. Then I could make space in the pasture instead of half of it being yearlings.
