I'm sorry for your loss, I know it's hard...and saying sorry doesn't help the hurt

Bird, that's because his bars equal his training level. I would call this the bare minimum for entering. I'd expect this one to come in 6th to 8th. When they have more bars than training level, they do well

Well she’s gone. At least she’s no long suffering.

Or this horse has 8 bars in two traits, but not one so is he ready?

I think what's confusing me is horses like this have 8 bars, but will still do poorly in a show.

Geldings I do SD - breeding stock always AD, so I can match properly
Drafty Acres
02:13:33 Mo
I prefer AD, but that's because I breed AD and my showing stock are failed outcomes of breeding.

The Barn Manager is the only reason I show. I am terrible at tracking and entering by hand.

Do you guys prefer showing AD, SD, or a mix of both?

I used to enter all my horses by hand, but it took waayyyy too long. I found myself not entering horses at all because I didn't want to fool with it. Now I'm using the BM and I wish I had done it sooner. She may not make quite as much money as I would, but it's a lot faster and more convenient.

I've always used the barn manager - set to only competitive - and always turned a nice profit. Like last week, pulled in 252k

It's more of a time-saver than anything. She'll help you earn money over time, but probably not as much as if you entered the horses yourself.

Okay interesting, thank you. I will play around with it this GY and see what happens lol

I'm not sure what criteria the BM uses to enter them, but most just leave her set to show the same horses all the time. She's supposed to pick the ones that are expected to do well, but I've heard mixed reviews of her effectiveness.
Fernweh QH
02:01:01 Fern | Kinz
I see. So say I manage all my horses instead of only picking the ones with double the training bars than their showing level, if I toggle that, she'll only show horses that SHOULD come out profiting and not show the ones that won't? Or would it just be better to go through my horses each Monday after training and have her manage only the horses that meet that double bar standard? Sorry for the questions, I'm trying to finally turn a profit lmaooo

The only time to use "Show All" is if you have futurity foals or horses in an eventing federation where they must show all three shows each week.

The owner might be putting him up cause of his problem usually if they do it might be serious or not wanting to spent money so you should be aware of that. Also check with the owner and ask the owner to let him trot walk and maybe a canter too to check for problems for stiffness or anything like that

These days no one wants to spent money and want to get rid of them by putting them up for cheap so most horses that are that cheap have problems like theeth hooves legs and back too those are the most common to put them up but they might to get rid of them for another reason but they might also put him up for lack of money to pay for the treatment

If he's for sale for 500 and in good health etc. then I would bet that he IS lame. Get a vet check before you buy, it will save you in the long run.

Even if you did buy him and he hardly costed you anything,Vet bills are a HUGE blow if something serious is up.Id say that you need to ask the owners,get a vet to check him over and one of my key intentions before buying any horse is to see their gaits as it can show any obvious problems majority of the time.
Good Luck,and remember if it seems too good to be true,sorry but majority of the time it is!

Vet check. Don't buy anything unsound, despite how cheap it is it'll just cost you in the long run.
You're probably better spending an extra couple hundred and getting something that's sound.

As said above, vet check! Don't buy a lemon, that $500 horse might end up costing you thousands, possibly tens of thousands!
