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.

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

Halloween Costume Ideas? October 28, 2022 07:31 AM

Hey! My local equestrian centre is doing a dress-up showjumping competition for halloween and I am planning on taking my fjord gelding, Bandit, just for a bit of fun. However, we need a costume.
I've had a couple ideas, but the best I could think of that isn't just the generic skeleton or ghost (and that specifically works with his breed) is Hans and his horse from Frozen.
The only thing is, I have definitely left this too late and might not be able to get everything I need (especially the tack).
So, does anyone have other ideas or ways to make this costume work, bearing in mind I have to be able to ride and jump in it?

That sounds like such a fun costume! And should meet your requirements - you already have the Fjord! and the basic tack!

The horse tack shouldn't be too hard, and depends on how crafty and quickly you can pull it together.

Saddle Cloth:
- Use a large piece of fabric (2 yards at least) to drape over a regular saddle pad
- Or a Purple Saddle Blanket, or Purple saddle pad
• At a fabric/craft store, grab some Trim - example
- Check out the Dollar store as well for some budget ideas. Paper might work for this as well
- you can add in the little tassels to the corners

Breast Collar
- Cover in dark fabric or if you have a dark wide leather one (or can borrow like a western one) - add some of the leaf trim.
- Could use Gold Puffy Paint

Depending on the time (and skills) - sew everything together, hot glue it together, or if you're out of time, staple it on! (totally have no experience doing that -.-)

The harder part is going to be Hans' outfit.
- A Blue Button Down
- Purpleish/Red Tie
- Purple Breeches
- Black Belt
- White Gloves
- White Jacket (check out thrift stores! - anything from leather to blazers) | if you want to add the black accents, you can cover/pin black fabric pieces on top of the jacket
- Black tall boots or half chaps

The Hair / Helmet
- Grab a large wig and glue/pin to a helmet
- Glue/Style on some sideburns

Just note that the fabric and extras are going to be on the expensive side - if you can re-purpose something you already have, that will save you time and money. Thrift stores can give you some good deals too. They might have a Hans costume (or look-alike). With not a ton of time to prepare, you might have to make concessions on quality or extras.

- Avoid satin or slippery fabric for the saddle cloth! You don't want the saddle slipping while going over a fence!

It should be do-able though! And you'll have to post pictures!
