Auto Training

OK I couldn't find this suggestion listed, so here goes...
How about a auto training option like auto care where all your horses are trained at a click of a button. Maybe one for each discipline. There should be a drop down where you can select the arena and when the slots would be used up it would say you must wait one hour for more space to be available or choose another arena. It would automatically use all the arenas under that stable for the discipline you selected. So if the stable had 10 dressage arenas it would sort all your dressage horses to the 10 available arenas. It could be a EVC option you can buy. Could be a time saver.

i would love to see something like this in the game! i do see why this hasn't already been introduced, such as the fact that not all horses are on the same training level, but I do feel like it could be added. i really hope that something like this is added so the big accounts can have it a bit easier (bc I know that it's a pain to do 50 horses, so I can't imagine doing 100). anyways, I wish you the best of luck!

No support,

I get some "auto care" features are handy but once you start making everything "automatic," it loses its fun, it gets boring, people stop playing.

Training doesn't take very long as it is so just train your horses. :)

Agreed Nyx. ^^

I agree with Nyx....but I also don't.

For those breeders who produces herds with maybe at least 100 horses or maybe even more....this would be super helpful.

I also am 50/50 on this. As I have over 150 horses I would like to speed training up, but at the same time I understand Nyx's point of view.

I understand that training can be very time consuming, but honestly I just don't quite see how the auto-train would really work. First, because training relies on the availability of other players' arenas. (Unless you have enough space in your own.) If you still have to find the specific arenas you want to use, it's still going to take up enough time that it's not really "automatic" in the same sense that the care and show tools are.

Also, training is a lot more variable than some other features. [You can train any discipline horse in any discipline arena, as long as the grade matches or is higher than your horse's grade.] So if the tool is only going to train your horses that match the grade/discipline of the arena, which is how it sounds in your suggestion, it's missing a lot of potential ways to train. For instance, an international driving arena with 500 slots *could* technically train ALL of your horses, regardless of grade and discipline (assuming you have fewer than 500 horses), but the way you list the functionality makes it sound like the tool would only try to train your driving horses there. And I'm not sure how best the tool would assign grade. Training in the lowest-grade arena that will work for your horse is the most cost effective way, but for the purpose of training as many horses in as few arenas as possible, it's more time effective to find a National or International arena, as you can train all your horses there.

Those limitations wouldn't mean the tool would be totally useless for everyone, I suppose, but I just don't see it providing all that much benefit, to be honest.

(And I kind of agree that automating *everything* you do with your horses is almost more like trying *not* to play the game. I understand limiting tedium, but not everything can be relegated to an automatic function.)

Maybe if the drop down list could at least list horses that match the arena's specialty and grade at the top of the list, rather than the current order. That would make things a bit easier, without adding in auto-training.

I have over 150 horses and training my horses takes me about 5-7 minutes (depending on how good my wifi is at the time)

I don't think it's necessary, and Only the Wind made an excellent point about stuff. yeah, no support. sorry

110 horses here on this account. I find the time and just do it all myself. Besides, What if the autotraining button couldn't set the fee amount and ended up using the most expensive arenas first? It could chew through more money than someone would rather to pay for training each day.
No support.

I support! Personally I have over 200 horses that I'm working on at once. Between riding schools and hand entering shows, it would be much easier for myself. I get how some may think it's not fun anymore if it's too "automated" but just have it be a deluxe feature like auto showing or auto care. It's literally the same thing.
