All tack not created equal

So I've noticed that even when tack is fully upgraded, some tack gives more of a boost than other tack. One 5/5 Tail Guard gives +3, while another 5/5 Tail Guard gives +13. What is it that's causing the difference? And how do you differentiate between tack that looks the same, since all are labeled 5/5 Whatever?

I love this feature but wish I had less tack to sort through lol!

I've seen the same thing on my horses. Some horses get +39 with 5/5 tack and some get +59 with same level tack. (same discipline too i might add)

Same issue here. I've just stopped caring lmao. It is what it is.

I also have like 100+ horses and the amount of tack for all of them x3. So. I kinda don't have the mental capacity to care about all those tack sets.

I believe Abbey is working to fix this problem

She did mention working on it and having (hopefully) a fix yesterday..don't ask me where i saw that lol..

BUT on my Andy's I've got +59 on everyone until I had to go upgrade some tack to lvl 5 and now they are getting +80 O.O

Check this girl out compared to the horses previous in my stable and you can see the difference http://www.equiverse.com/horse.php?id=149757

EDIT

I think I figured it out guys.. If you take the bridal and saddle from 1/5 to 5/5 instead of just using 5/5 or upgrading from 4/5 you get more stats from the equipment.

I just tested it with the bridal and saddle of this horse.

I upgraded the tack from 1/5 to 5/5 and she gets +95 the best i've seen so far.
I couldn't get it to work on the Boots or Tail guard as after reaching 5/5 they were lost among my other 5/5 tack but the saddle/bridal remained with the 1/5 tack but was still labled as 5/5 WEIRD how after upgrading the tack won't move to the other 5/5 whatevers.

This seems to be a bug. Imported tack is acting like it's not been upgraded, and upgrading it gives the lower level boosts. (Upgrading from 4 to 5 gives what would usually be the boost from 1 to 2.)

Abbey planned on having a fix, as stated in one of the threads in the bug forum, but it doesn't seem to have worked. Hopefully it will!
