I used to spend hours a day on the game... but nowadays I don’t have internet at home and my phone data needs to be rationed to last the month lol

I’ve streamlined my sorting, naming and barns so I spend a few hours a few times a month naming, sorting and snipping. Although sometimes it piles up for a few months if I’m busy other places.

I have a main account on each server and a secondary (mostly ignored) account on hj2.

My daily routine is to check the buddy chats and new forum posts on hj1 and hj2 and then I go back to real life. I check in quite often through the day but I don’t always get too hands on with my herd.

This spring I was feeling overwhelmed by my show horses and was always close to hitting the cap but didn’t have anything I really wanted to spend the money on so I started selling the show horses off for 3,000hbs. I know they’ve helped quite a few people build up their own daily bonus which Makes me happy.

Now that my KP herd has grown I’d probably be gmting KP foundation mares more often but since I haven’t added many horses to my buddy chat my daily bonus has been growing lately. Although still about half of what it was in the spring.

I spend a couple hours on here each day. But i only work one day a week usually so i have a LOT of down time. I haven't been really effected by the halved breeding season because my stable is a tad smaller than the one i have on server 2 so i'm used to it being only one month. I've really learned how to hand snip even the pretty ones that don't meet my standards. A lot of times i purposely have left foal in pasture on the 27th to let them get sold back to the game automatically because i didn't want to deal with the hassle of desperately trying to save up for a barn. For the most part, if i don't need a stud anymore and i want the line staying clean/nice/quality, i'll snip the stud regardless off quality. This is especially true with the lines i have from other players (like you!) because i keep them in house. So even the pretty ones that are up to snuff on quality will get the snip because i have another colt i like better but can't sell those guys. They make lovely show ponies for me though so i can't complain too much lol

Time saver for me is that I gave up on naming with actual names. My studs get names based on their parents names but mares just get:
HS xG # yyy
x being the number generation and y being any gene suffixes i have (k for kp, d for dp, m for macchiato, etc).

I'm also VERY ADD. And i don't take medicine for it anymore so i have to bounce between doing different things which makes getting things done take a bit longer than they should because i get bored very quickly. So i typically choose 2-3 tasks and bounce between them (so like, naming unnamed horses, testing untested horses, and reorganizing pastures, etc). This helps me make a little progress in multiple areas.

I hope some of my rambling helped a little, at least :)
