Only asking because I'm curious. I'm wondering if anyone has ever had a stallion with 1 down wk5 land anywhere towards the top half of their breed LBs? Has 4 up wk4 Edited at December 27, 2018 05:21 PM by Ora Equestrian |

Well, I think it'd depend on how strong the breed is. I had a boy up 3 on 4, and down 1 on 5 land #9 WBELB. He also produced 9 EEEs this year.
But no one else around him was down on 5. So i'd say its definitely possible, but not probable for hitting top 15. |

He's an AA boy. ABLB sire & dam so quite strong lineage. Will be interesting to see how he goes :) Thanks for your input Jello! |

I know there have been a handful of ABLB boys down one week 5, but agree with Jello - he probably won't be high up, but he could still make the ABLB. A bigger factor for LB placement will be his week 8, whether he continues training 4/6 up. Most of the top ABLB boys right now are training 5 or more week 8. |

Like the training in the round pen for bravery, each training session can give more or less boost to each of the traits of a horse. If one horse is strong but has for example 5 weak training sessions in a row for one trait, this one will probably not train up ( = show another bar ) as fast as a trait that had 5 top training sessions in a row. This is why some horses seem to be strong/weak in one trait after a couple training sessions - but a few weeks later or as an fully trained adult this stat turns out to be as strong/weak as another one, that seemed to be different.
I know a couple of "weak" trainers that landed quite high or even on top of the LB and I know even more training-wonderhorses with really outstanding training that bombed when it came to LB position or producing. Besides: training up has absolutly nothing to do with the ability to produce good or weak foals ;)
I searched and found this boy of mine - bred from Nat ;)

He had one down in w5, managed to hit and stay on the ABLB and got these rewards in his freshman year:
Year #109: TR Do Me No Favors was #1 top freshman sport horse sire. Year #109: TR Do Me No Favors was #5 top freshman sire overall. Year #109: TR Do Me No Favors was #86 top jumping sport horse sire. Year #109: TR Do Me No Favors was #64 top dressage sport horse sire. Year #109: TR Do Me No Favors was #30 top eventing sport horse sire. Year #109: TR Do Me No Favors was #78 top eventing sire overall. Year #109: TR Do Me No Favors was #42 top Yearly EEE producer overall.
If you look at his traits now and compare them with his training in the first 9 weeks, there is a lot of difference visible! This is why it is so hard to tell, if a strong/weak trait after only 4-9 training sessions is really strong/weak or just had a couple of (un)fortunate random training efforts!

Achilles, Helicon’s boy, is #3 WBLB and he had Scope down week 5. I think anything is quite possible on this game. There is always hope! Edited at December 28, 2018 10:31 AM by Amberle |

New Era was down wk 5 and wk 9! He only went up 4/6 wk 8 but still managed to land #6 Ablb and not be Svened! So I say itΓβs possible but I probably got lucky! The foal needs to be strong itself and actually have some good luck! Edited at December 28, 2018 08:11 AM by Jumy Stable |
