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

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.

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.

im looking for a new bridle for my mare. The one i'm currently using is allright, but its a little old and worn, and i recently got a pay rise so i can afford a new one, yay!
she is a thouroughbred, and uses just a normal bridle with single reins.
ideally under 130 euros/pounds.
any ideas?

Have you tried a micklem bridle? My tb absolutely loves it! All my horses are in them, as they are generally quite smart, comfortablr bridles.

I will say that unless your horse has a real issue that requires a flash or is already going in a flash, I would stay away from getting something with any straps below the bit. There are studies that have shown some health issues associated with nosebands below the bit (flashes, grackles, micklems, drop nosebands, etc.) although the most problematic nosebands are the ones that put pressure on the sensitive area of the lower nasal bone. That said, I highly recommend the Harwich Ergonomic bridle. It is one of the very few anatomical bridles that doesn't have anything below the bit. And if you want to be fancy like me, get a sparkly browband and you'll get tons of compliments.

thank you fenn!
yes i know, finding a good bridle without that is an issue for me to. Ive always ridden my mare without a flash, mainly because she has a few teeth issues, and also she is highly sensitive to that kind of thing. thanks for the recomendation!

ive heard a lot of good things about this bridle by Waldhausen.
Apparently very comfortable and good for sensitive horses. Also has removable flash.

Had one very similar to this for my warmblood mare. She loved it, I did to. I really like anything with the relief crown piece.

I use a similar one on my little grey, will find a pic :) It had a slightly wider headpiece as he was a little uneven in his poll.
