raising foundation foals (ramblings)

I think the different methods of showing might have an effect.
some people use autoshowing, which (for most horses) won't get you nearly the same amount of stats from shows as hand-picking shows with ~5 entries.

Ugh that makes sense. Confessor is that what you do? I am so impressed by how many more stats your foundations have than mine!

I do hand show when I have the time. I find it makes a huge difference. When I do auto show, I notice how much slower my horses advance, no matter which option I choose. But sometimes hand showing just isn't an option.

So good to know! I will definitely be hand showing my favorites then. Thanks for the tips :) :)

Alrighty!! I will make a scatter plot and best fit line today sometime and then we will have a rough estimate, so everyone add your horses!!

it was their 7th birthdays today!

stats range from 389 to 270, with a range of 119. that's almost double last week's range, and i think it's biased by how terrible Set Fire To The Rain is doing compared to the others. if i eliminate him from the calculations, the range is 94, and if i eliminate the 2nd lowest, the range is 74.

this week they gained between 19 and 69 stats this week, with an average gain of 42 stats. still on track to be about 1000 by retirement :)

comes down to 60.
