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.

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.

So she essentially will only show horses that will come out with profit from showing?

show all, will show everything, even ones that don't have enough training to win money

Hey, what differences come from having the barn manager "show all horses" and "show only competitive horses?" What does that change in terms of who shows, and how is that decided?

I have a Manage Calendar link under Community that takes me to both my calendar and where I can add official game calendar entries, but I'm not sure if it's the same for non-staff

So I’ve seen a few of these posts already but I thought I’d see if anyone went through something similar to what I may end up going through.

In the fall I’ll be starting college for Architectural Technology, I’m not sure how hard the course will be so I want some tips how on how others balanced horses and school.

Right now I’m currently riding one of my bosses horses 3 or 4 days a week I actively compete in Dressage and have goals to show at NAJYRC or at least get to show the young riders tests. I’m not as close to my goal as I’d like to be so I’ll be working extra hard to improve my riding, which will happen over time during college. I also don’t have a car so I’d have to wait for some one to give me a ride. I’ve also got part time jobs (I only work one day at each)

I was wondering if anyone had tips or stories on how they balanced horses and school? (Especially Showing competitively) Or if maybe someone has taken a similar course that I’m taking and could tell me if it will be a heavy work load.

Not having a car is going to be the biggest hurdle unless someone is consistently able to carpool you to the barn. How far away is the barn? Travel can suck up a lot of time. Is there any way you can get your own car?

If you can, try to schedule your classes as a block of time. This can be difficult as a freshman because you'll be the last to register, and as an upperclassman, the smaller major courses may only be offered at one or two times. Your first year will probably be a bunch of pre-req courses but you need to do well in them as architecture degrees are considered professional programs, and your performance 1st year determines whether or not you'll be admitted (not sure if this is the case at your university). Architecture degrees are time-consuming as you will have a lot of projects and studio classes.

More practical advice, get to the gym while at school. Riding, especially at the level you're wanting to do, will be a lot easier if you're fit. Not saying you're not, but if you do end up needing to take a break, you'll come back to your previous skill much quicker if you stay in shape. Pilates is great for equestrians but anything you enjoy will do.

You can always work at the barn and show during holidays and summer breaks, but eventually you'll want to do an internship in your junior/senior summer. Make school and your future career your first priority, horses will always be there. (above advice is assuming this is a bachelor's degree; I'm not sure about the difficulty/flexibility of an associate's)
