So treats that give random stats in multiple different areas I believe are bad. So why do I see people buying them and using them on their horse? Am I missing something? Would you not rather have a little less stats but in the category of your discipline? Maybe I am missing an entire game mechanic which would totally make more sense but yeah I thought I would bring it up for discussion. If you do use sugar cubes or any other treat to increase all stats... Why? If you don't use these please also post your reasons why as well I just want to know everyone's thoughts! Thank you everyone for your time! :)

My understanding is that the multi-stat treats tend to give more stats than the basic treats, so the contribution to the total stats would be higher, however a lot of those stats are in the wrong areas since they're random, so their show performance would be lower. I'd expect this would mean there'd be a trade off, as they'd win shows less, and therefore get less stats from showing. I haven't run the numbers, but I'd expect the net effect would be that you'd get less stats on a horse fed multi-stat treats than one fed basic treats

I will use multi stat treats at times, mainly peppermints...but only on foals, until they're ready to start showing and training....then I convert their discipline so the stat boost from the peppermints is distributed appropriately

I feed them to my foals before the age of three and then convert as well...

I do the same as Notori. Peppermints and hay cubes from ages 0-3, choose a discipline, then convert so all of those stats go into the chosen discipline.

i never feed sugar cubes, but i feed haycubes to most of my horses and peppermints to my favorites/those that are lagging behind in stat gain. I stop feeding non-spec treats right before I breed them, so sometimes I've had 20 year old horses that only ever eat peppermints. I convert their training, breed them, and start feeding discipline specific treats. It's expensive and using riding schools (which i have to use due to treats making them non-competitive in shows) is less profitable than showing, but I feel it provides more lifetime stat gains so it's worth the cost.

I use the same method as Kahzie for all of my foundations. Hay cubes until breeding age and then converted.

I never use multi-stat treats under any circumstance. My breeding program revolves around horses that have the all around factor, and a big part of that is being a show winner and money earner, and to be a successful show horse, it has to have low non-specialty stats.

I generally feed my babies Haycubes until they're 3 years old, then convert them to their actual discipline, and then they're locked away until I have time to work with them (namely, when all my current horses 4 years and up are gone).

I use them on horses that will have their training converted before breeding (for now it would be about 3/4 of my entire herd).

I only use hay cubes when I buy horses as foals from the store. They get hay cubes until three, set to a discipline then converted to another. It's pricey, but it's a new system I'm using as an experiment.

I only use them on foals then when they are older I convert them to the specialty that I breed and show in.

ok so am I to understand that just willy- nilly giving treats is bad? and that giving certain treats to certain specialties is the best way to go?
