so frustrated with myself

#165841 Posted on 2018-04-10 13:41:21

I was caring for my horses today when I noticed this horse! Do you see his treats? ;-; 

I accidentally didn't get him (or ANY of his herd mates, 8 in total) changed over to the correct treats after I converted them from dressage to western at 3.

They are pretty much worthless to me at this point, it would cost me 32 EVC to fix them; since they're 2nd gen I can't just change their specialty to endurance. They aren't great in the non-spec stats under all that haycube effect so I don't think they're worth the 32 EVC to fix. But I paid a decent amount of EVD for them using some of Noto's studs so I don't want that investment to go down the drain either. 

So. very. frustrated.

Oh dear. Im not sure what the best solution would be. Other than that thats one nice pony!

I made an error once with one of my horses by having a complete brain freeze & marking in his name the treat rotation of Speed so I kept feeding him carrots. He was a dressage horse. Urgh. It took til his stat boost notification for me to click on him & notice the mistake.

They're all very pretty; which makes it harder, if they were less colorful I'd just toss them in the RC. 

I'm thinking I'll move them to my riding school herd, and when they turn eighteen I'll decide what to do with them then. 

When we didn't have treat assignments my first Quarter Horse kept getting accidentally fed red apples (it happened often enough I bought "buffer" horses to put in my divisions to "eat" the wrong treats lolz)

I had buffer horses before treat assignments too! It's so hard to juggle when you have too many different breeds or disciplines that need different things. 
I should probably put back a buffer or two for the riding school until I get rid of all these Riding school ponies. I keep accidentally entering my top notch studs in the school instead of showing because of getting click happy. the worst spree was about 9 ponies I had in the studlies division while trying to age them up. I wasn't paying attention while watching a show and just kept clicking. 9 driving ponies in a Racing arena -headdesk-

To be quite honest though this is the one reason I don't do Peppermints/Cubes on pretty much any of my horses anymore. I'm terrified enough I'll get the wrong discipline swap to start let alone forgetting to change the treat. I try to look through my treat management when ever I'm moving horses around (I change retired horses to sugar cubes to cut down on cost) just to give a quick check they're all getting the right treat, but even that's hard to see sometimes!

Also I'm jealous your Outlaw kiddo has a better color than mine xD Smokey Black Duns are so pretty.

@Sabriel I decided ~2 weeks ago to give up the haycube trick because it was becoming too expensive for my tastes, however I decided to leave haycubes on the foals which already had them because I have to pay to convert them anyway. Now I'm going to change them all to the proper treats so this won't happen again. ;-; I got really nice colors from all those breedings, lots of browns and creams, and splashes which are my favorite QH colors. 

@Wiki I saw your babes before you listed them for sell and I was trying to figure out if you'd done on purpose or by mistake, then I saw your sale post. I did that once too, but I noticed with the first mare so it only cost me 1 Breed Again Solution to fix my error, then I named the foal "Aggie's Mistake".

Ugh, that's one of my worst EV fears. All of my babies are hay cubed but soon some of then will need to be converted and be treated based on their discipline and I'm so nervous that I will mess it up somehow.

So sorry that it happened to you. :(

Thanks romy, when I saw it I was shocked and then was really hoping I had just not converted them to western (but alas).
