[ADDED] *"Complete all" button?

This script would take entirely too long to run unfortunately. We could run into a lot of load-time errors that would time out on browsers and would arise bugs of players not being able to collect money or stats from the riding school because the session timed out. So while it would be nice to implement, it would be a lot process to work with players that have 300-400 horses that are being entered at once.

Put in my support. Would get in handy, but not if it screws up the game of course.

Maybe the update could run in cycles of 50 horses to eliminate the load time issue.

8 clicks is better than 400

How's it any different than the farrier/vet script being ran for people with 300-400 horses?

@Kuk - it's very different actually.

Farrier/vet script runs one single query update for ALL horses:

[Query] Update farrier for all horses owned by user ID #1 where their farrier days is less than 0.

For riding.. it would be:

[Query] Select all horses that have riding completed.
Process the amount of money, stats, exp and items required for each horse.
[Query] Update member account with money gained.
[Query PER HORSE] Update horse with gained stats and exp.
[Query] Add all items to member's account.
[Query] Update bank records.
[Query] Cancel the riding school entry.
[Query] Update user's log.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it would be a very long page load time for players with lots of horses. There's a lot more involvement with riding schools than with just updating vet and farrier, so that's a bad thing to compare it to.

I definitely see where you guys are coming from, and I agree, the load time would be pretty long. Thank you for clearing it up!

Personally, I can click around 10 horses 'Complete' buttons at once, and when the page loads, all 10 of those horses' riding school tasks have been completed. The blessing of semi-slow internet! 

This means I can get it all done pretty quickly, in around 5 or 6 page loads. 

How about Riding schools auto complete themselves? And you can check what each horse earned on your activity page.

@Auriel that's not a bad idea! If you made that as a separate suggestion, I would support that. 

This makes me wonder how different the riding school would be compared to a player (such as myself) autocaring for 400 horses?

Autocaring would have to run multiple queries, right? treat, feed, water, stall, grooming an happiness per horse, right? as well as making sure there's enough treats to feed in the inventory

That would be amazing!

This idea is a great one.

This will be considered added, as a version of this (the auto-riding tool, which allows picking up horses in batches of 10) was added to the game a while ago.

Added! ♥
