how much does bravery impact a horse's show performance and/or training progress?

Majority of the mod staff are english or atleast fluently speak it as a second language, it is easier for modding and controling situations that everything public is in english, youre allowed to speak whatever language you wish in your game mail

Yes well many people who speak in different languages say their language is the best lol. My Grandpa (Who is full french Canadian) when he was learning english was like, "French doesn't have all the words that look alike at the end but sound different like "Through, Cough, Though, etc etc." lol

Horse games are pretty much a niche, there are not many options by default.
But English is a very popular and should be a second language to a lot of people.

This is an English-speaking game developed and hosted by English-speaking people. There will be plenty of games in other languages for non-English speakers I'm sure. I wouldn't know since there's no point in looking for games in languages you don't speak

Well I am not sure about the game translating. Perhaps they use the whatever-their-language-is- to -english thingy lol.

Lynx- I am 1/4 French Canadian but I can really only say "Hello" "My name is" and "Yes" in French lol. I used a translator for the stuff after "Hello"(The french hello) lol

Oh absolutely, I can totally see that.

Thing is, supporting other languages means also having staff that speaks their language to help them out, as well as having different communities. It's a massive project that could easily get out of hand.

Ah okay, thanks Min. I tried to find that in the rules but I must have overlooked it,

That all being said, if you know your horse is ready, I don't necessarily think it is a problem to start getting them used to the basics in a way that doesn't hinder their development and growth. With my mare as a two-year-old, she already had a solid start on the ground, I had built a good relationship with her, and above all, she wanted to learn; she would always love trying new things, and she seemed to get bored with all the groundwork (we still did the groundwork, don't worry, lol), so I started just sitting on her in the pasture with a halter and lead rope. I would get her to flex both ways, then neck-rein her both ways, and maybe back a few steps. It was really simple stuff that didn't strain her too much, mentally or physically, but it allowed her to figure out some aspects of riding without messing with her growth.
I didn't actually start riding her until she was like 3.5, and even then, it was, usually, 20–30 minute sessions, part groundwork with like 10-15 minutes of riding, once or twice a month. When she was 4 years old, I started riding her more consistently, but I still paid attention to make sure she wasn't stressed out by it.
As KPH said, just compare them to humans. Each horse is different; some pick things up faster, some slower.
Even if they are eager, I don't start riding them for more than 15 minutes until they are 4 years old, and even then, I try not to push them too hard if they struggle with something since they are still babies. Some horses like a challenge and like to learn; just make sure you aren't doing too much until their bodies can handle it.
Make sure, no matter what, you are listening to what your horse has to say, as that is the most important part of training.

ok ima set this here starting a horse a 2 is better than staring at 3 although only walk trot and getting your horse in the bridle no jumping or loping when you start a horse at 3 or 4 there will be worse problems as your starting it 'late' as the horse could be harder to start or even handle on the ground from not being started at a younger age i hope this helps a bit
plus they said they walked over a small crossrail


I don't fully agree with this. As someone who has started a 13-year-old that hasn't had anything done with it, they can be stubborn, but overall, you just have to work at their pace and they will get there.
In my experience, starting a horse later doesn't make it harder as long as you have put some work into the horse on the ground. If you take the time to form a solid bond with the horse and set them up for success with the groundwork, then they will usually be easier to start. If you just throw a foal out at pasture and don't do anything with it until it is 4 and try to pull it up and start it under saddle immediately, it will obviously be harder.

Hopefully, that made sense and came out right. Its 3 a.m. here, and my brain is mostly fried lol

i get what your putting down as ive also started older horses but i also forgot to put in that starting horses at two helps there growth a lot better and it helps them get stronger

I agree that starting a horse too young can be damaging to both their mental and physical health, but I have also seen for myself that with the right training a horse who was started young can do very well. I know an 8 year old girl who can handle and ride a 5 year old horse extremely well by herself. They were beginning to learn rollbacks and travers and other more advanced moves. Again, this was with private training which I know can be very expensive and is not for everyone. And this is one horse, every horse is different and progresses at different rates. Please don't take this post the wrong way. I'm not trying to attack or criticize, I'm just giving my experience so it can be used if deemed helpful.

This isn't about progress or how well the horse is doing now, it's about longevity of the horse. Breaking them too young leads to problems years down the road, but unfortunately we're too used to immediate gratification these days so these consequences don't become apparent until too late

I understand that, but this also circles back to the fact that rushing a horse's training and pushing them to progress faster than they're ready for can affect a horse's longevity. Doing certain things too early can be extremely damaging to the horse, but there are also things that are okay to start early. 2 years seems very young to start a lot of riding but basic things may be okay to do periodically. If it were me, the most I would be doing is lunging and working on things we can do from the ground unless told otherwise by a credible trainer. The people I mentioned before started their horse at three years and were working with world-class gaited horse trainers to develop him the right way. Jennifer and Larry have a lot of experience training horses and do anything they can that will help improve the horse's quality of life. They have immense knowledge of the horse's body and how it works and have seen many issues in horses. I'm not trying to be biased or unfair, I'm not trying to tell you that other trainers do it wrong, all I want to share is what has worked for me and my horses. If you don't agree, that's fine, but if other people think this is helpful, it's there for them.

This is pretty much what I'm trying to say.
