4/5/16 - current number of horses "reclaimed" for passes: 204
Patience and proper planning, just sayin'...
Mid-February 2016: I finally got the last Grand Prix bonus! The first several didn't take too many HoPs. The last few took forEVER. Especially the very last one, that took over a year alone cracking open HoPs as often as I could.
INDISPUTABLE FACT: 64% of statistics are made up on the spot.
I promise I would never ever stomp or blanket. When bolding skills for a horse though... I just enter comps to get it done. I try to not enter if I see "blup" in the name, unless it's a rookie comp. We're ALL trying to get wins in rookie comps, so your loss is my win (in rookie comps, I don't want to just beat your horse, I want to rub his or her face in the dirt too). I'm not trying to mess with anyone's game, or bum anyone out. Please realize if a horse has WoY, it takes 50 races to bold it's skills. Yes, I am usually too cheap to use a Timer.
My main interest in the game is making my EC stronger, and I'm doing this by breeding horses that are good in the Western Disciplines. It's always a work in progress, and it lets me enjoy the game without feeling obligated in any way.
