Stats Run-Through
Setting up stats for your horse is very important as it determines how well your horse will do in the shows. Stats will be determined on a randomization process with respect to bloodlines. This will be performed by an Admin and each category can be discussed after the process.
Things taken into account when randomizing include:
Bloodlines - What were the stats of the sire and dam? If both sire and dam have high scores in endurance, their offspring will have a higher score in that area. Randomization will be based off of the average of the two adults, plus or minus two.
Breed - What is the breed of the horse? Do they tend to have more stamina than most? Speed? Endurance? Jumping capability? Arabians will always have higher endurance whereas Thoroughbreds will have better speed.
Of course, due to randomization, there will be horses that will be unexpected in some disciplines. Judges are not allowed to penalize a horse in a competition because of the breed, so as long as the stats show it, the horse has just as good of a chance of winning as any other entrants.
Stats Format
This form must be on a horse's page at all times. It does not have to be in the same order as below, but all areas must be presented.
Speed: (1-100)
Stamina: (1-100)
Endurance: (1-100)
Strength: (1-100)
Temperament: (1-10)
Consistency: (50-100)
Experience: (1-100)
Speed: How fast the horse is able to go at any given time. Thoroughbreds and quarter horses will have higher marks in this area. Training can improve their speed but only to the breed's ability.
Stamina: The horse's ability to perform physical work (such as pulling or jumping) over a given amount of time. Draft crosses and warmbloods will score the highest in this. Training can improve their stamina but only to the breed's ability.
Endurance: How long a horse is able to perform cardiovascular work, such as running. Arabians and Thoroughbreds tend to score higher. Training can improve their endurance but only to the breed's ability.
Strength: How much a horse can lift or pull. Once again, draft crosses and warmbloods excel in this area. Training can improve their strength but only to the breed's ability.
Temperament: How "hot" a horse is. The higher the number, the more hot-headed a horse is. This can be based off of personality ahead of time, or given so a personality can be written. Either way it must be along the lines of the breed. Arabians and thoroughbreds will be higher than most. Training WILL NOT improve temperament, only age can.
Consistency: How well a horse is able to perform consistently at shows. THIS IS COMPLETELY RANDOMIZED BETWEEN 50 AND 100. A horse with a consistency of 80 will do well 80% of the time. Consistency can be increased with training and workouts.
Experience: This is added up according to their show experience. Every win gains the horse 3 points, second place gains 2 points, and third place gains 1 point. This is the only way a horse can move up in levels.
As a horse increases in experience, his top four stats (speed, stamina, endurance, strength) and consistency will increase as well. For every level he/she gains, five stats points will be added to ONE of the above. Which one it is added to is up to the owner. Training only increases these stats at a faster pace.
EXAMPLE #1
A ten year old thoroughbred stallion with established lines and a written personality.
Speed: Sire (80) - Dam (87). This horse's speed will be determined by randomizing 78 thru 89. The score is 84.
Stamina: Sire (75) - Dam (68). Randomize 66 thru 77. Score is 69.
Endurance: Sire (90) - Dam (85). Randomize 83 thru 92. Score is 88.
Strength: Sire (60) - Dam (82). Randomize 58 thru 84. Score is 61.
Temperament: Based off of written personality according to bloodlines, Score is 7.
Consistency: Randomized between 50 and 100. Score is 74. This horse is consistent 7
4% of the time.
Experience: Based on past history, Score is 0.
On a run-down of this horse's stats, he has:
Speed: 84/100
Stamina: 69/100
Endurance: 88/100
Strength: 61/100
Temperament: 7/10
Consistency: 74%
Experience: 0/100
The stallion will most likely excel in lower levels of show jumping, cross country, and dressage. This was determined by analyzing the randomized stats given. He scored the highest in Speed and Endurance, meaning he will excel in show jumping and cross country. He did not score so high in stamina and strength, which limits his ability to jump very high. His levels are able to be increased with training and experience, but as a starting show horse, he will do well where we've placed him.
EXAMPLE #2
A created Arabian mare with no bloodlines or written personality.
Speed: Based off of breed, randomized between 50 and 80. Score is 65.
Stamina: Based off of breed, randomized between 50 and 80. Score is 57.
Endurance: Based off of breed, randomized between 75 and 100. Score is 100.
Strength: Based off of breed, randomized between 50 and 80. Score is 75.
Temperament: Based off of breed with no written personality, randomized between 5 and 10. Score is 8.
Consistency: Randomized between 50 and 100. Score is 68. This horse is consistent 68% of the time.
Experience: Based on past history, Score is 0.
On a run-down of this horse's stats, she has:
Speed: 65/100
Stamina: 57/100
Endurance: 100/100
Strength: 75/100
Temperament: 8/10
Consistency: 68%
Experience: 0/100
This mare will most likely do well in endurance and dressage. This was determined by analyzing the randomized stats given. She scored the best in Endurance with a 100 and a 75 in Strength, meaning she will excel in Endurance and Dressage. She did not score very high in speed and stamina, meaning she would not do well in disciplines such as show jumping or cross country. Her levels will increase with experience and training.
