What is your daily bonus?
  • After my long, long hiatus, I'm trying to restock my show barns with lots of good ponies, a mixture of points and good PT scores.

    After a month I'm at around 14k, but I know that's still very small compared to most. I'd be curious to know what other people are making and how long it took to build to that, so that I can check my progress and trajectory from time to time :)

    I love seeing my yearly performance overview go up from season to season, there's something so satisfying about it.

  • I stopped playing for several months so my bonus is now $500k a day. Trying to get it back to where it used to be, but it’s hard! Getting there, though. :) It’s why I try to help others out as much as I can. It can be hard building that bonus up!

  • I've only been playing since December and I just hit 9k today. Even 14k seems a long way away. I can't even imagine 500k!
  • I ve been playing pretty steady for about 2.5 years , my bonus is now close to 800k a day ; keep everything if you ve the barn space , spayed mares and geldings are your best "investment" :) good luck

  • I was at 200k for a bit there, but did a massive clean up of my barns. I hover around 175k now. Every roll over I sell 10 yr old show horses that aren't doing well, so I've stayed pretty consistent at 175k. However, I've finally started getting high pt 4th and 5th gens on my breeding projects so I'm hoping to pass 175k with my keepers soon :D I've been playing since May of 2020.
  • 36k! and it's taken major strategy and help to get here

  • 46k now, I've been playing for a few years but had months straight where I did not touch the game at all, I've only gotten back into it (more than casually) recently. I have a lot of respect for folks who've stuck around to really build their barns and payout.

  • I'm 250k hbs per day, but I used to be 500k/600k, I barely played for ages with home changes, and then the changes in pastures etc means I don't breed anywhere near as many as I used to. But it's still a good amount to have to play with.
    My HJ3/Mesa account is the newest one, and is 70k hbs per day. With not too much effort, I got it up to 20k per day after only a couple of months, just picking up show horses with points as I found them for a a reasonable price. Now it still slowly increases as the foals I've kept age up

  • I started at the end of December and have a current daily bonus of about 79k. A big part of that has been buying as many pointed horses as possible, both from sales and auctions, as well as creating and keeping several pointed creates from a secondary account for a little while. Now I'm at the point where my first foals are earning some decent points, and I'm doing some bootstrapping for some nice high PT show ponies.

  • I'm sitting around 450k right now. But I also swallowed another large account and inherited all their show ponies etc. I have always sucked at saving for barns in order to house more show ponies :))

  • I've been playing since November, currently at 81k. I keep spelds every chance I get and buy barns whenever I can afford them to stuff more in LOL. I tend to overspend on the breeding lab so I still am trying to get that daily bonus quite a bit higher :))

  • I've had this account since 2018, and completely restarted my breeding program a couple of years ago. I barely buy or sell anything as my big account is on forest. I find I'm real comfortable for the way I play over here at 70k.
  • I took quite a bit of time off the game and came back to it in June. I started in 2020. My currently daily payout is about 36k. I had it up close to 40k last month, but lost a ton of older show horses and it dropped down to close to 30k again. It's a lot of work! I have one show barn with about 800 show horses in it, and a lot of those are pretty young. I just started my bootstrap herd last month and found some good, high-papered stock to get it started, so I'm hoping in the next few months to really grow my show herd.

  • After returning from a year long break. Now In exactly 14 months my show bonus is 166k (I recently sold a bunch of pointed horses in the last week or two so that’s impacted it) I make most of my money off of my boot strap herd
  • It's super interesting to see everyone's answers. I'm always impressed by how big and efficient some people's show herds are, so it's nice to have some insight into how how everyone is working on building up their bonuses.

    I've been trying to snag all of the pointed horses in auction that I can get my hands on, as well as saving some high PT foals, even though it'll take a while for them to start earning :)

    I'm really bad about wanting to spend all of my money on breeding though, so thank you all for helping me keep a bigger goal in sight :P

  • I'm a little over 500k. I keep all my foals - most are spayed and gelded and sent to show. I auction poor point earners at 10 years old.

    @Heartwood breed your show horses - I find it is a cheaper option than buying them, but it does take longer to build up points.

  • I'm currently well over 200k a day, but I've been playing since the end of 2009. I keep my spelded horses as show ponies.

  • @ Heartwood I absolutely love my bootstrap herd, Because I get to breed all the fun fancy genes and it doesn’t matter who gets bred to what. Also nothing ever fails breeding advice because nothing ever goes through breeding advice. Long story short I get to have fun and it helps my barn!
  • I'm at 33564 right now after about a year. I auction my poorly-performing spelds between ages 4 and 7, as I don't have the barn space for them and the new crop of foals.

  • Im at 64k! I started March 2020 and spent a looooong time just messing around with genetics/breeding and not focusing too too much on showing. Im different now and have different needs to fuel lol, I gained about 20k over the course of a few months, it's been slow progress for me I lpve watching it grow more and more everyday!
  • I'm at 218k now. I focus mostly on breeding horses, although I do have a decent amount of show horses. I think the key is just to have lots of horses showing and earning points (doesn't matter if they are mares/stallions or spelds).

  • I feel I have taken my time getting my daily bonus up. I took breeding as priority over show barns the first couple years of playing. Now I have been pushing for more show barns. I'm currently at 186k. Recently bought another large barn so I am expecting to hit 200k by mid September.
  • I've been playing for a while but didn't get into my show herd seriously until about a year ago, I sit around. Right now my payout is 36k, I'm hoping to get to 50k soon!

  • It's 6k at the moment. I just came back to the game after not playing for years, and all my ponies except 3 had passed away. I have the barn space, but filling it is going to take a while
  • I seem to be stuck at around 500k. Was making pretty steady increases, right up until the pasture breeding changes (I’m too lazy to do everything by hand), but I’ve managed to hold fairly steady in the 475-525 range.
  • I'm hovering around 300k - 350K, but looking at breaking down and getting a barn of Bootstraps to get over the hump that I am rocking on

    Now I'm scared :-SS

  • 615k, been playing off and on for 14 years. I was a mosquito's fart from 1mil a few years ago but I cut way down since then. Definitely keep everything you breed, geld everything you don't breed. Invest in barns to hold your hoards of show ponies. I have a pretty good formula that keeps me in homeostasis where I bring in about as many show ponies as I lose to rollover, but the number is declining a bit I think. Some barns like to be bigger, some barns like to be smaller, as long as you're having fun!

    When you get to a point where HBs doesn't matter it's a very good feeling lol
    Thanked by 1OrionsStables
  • Agreed @ichigo! I keep nearly everything, though I’m just about at my max for extra stalls and I can’t afford barns with RL$. :( So I’ll probably start culling soon.

    I breed mostly in-house these days as it is so aside from the Advanced Breeding Lab, I’m not spending too much except on GMTs.

  • I believe I've had this game since 2019 (honestly too lazy to go back and look lol) but I stopped playing for a year and half maybe more. I came back and started playing for over a year now and my show bonus is over 74k. I did not steadily collect show horses for the first year of coming back to this game, so I'm sure if I did it would have been double that or more. I've even the past couple months have been selling and auctioning a lot of pointed horses to start fresh which takes from what I could have been making. I didn't realize until recently how quick daily payouts grow if you're consistent in collecting and keeping show horses. Every week I gain about 3- 4,000 hbs on my daily bonus. Honestly I'm quite addicted to show ponies now. If I keep this up I should make it to 150,000 by the end of the year. I'll be spaying/gelding a lot of broodmares and stallions next breeding season and keeping a whole elephant's butt ton of foals as show ponies.

  • I've been playing over 12 years now, and at first I did not show horses much because the showing system back then was very difficult to get a grip on and pretty much everything had to be done manually. Nowadays it's much easier. I've started having showhorses umm.. 3 or 4 years ago now, and I tend to hover around the 350,000 hbs mark now mainly because I haven't bought new show barns in a long time. First I started off small with 60 stall barns because that was what I could afford, then upgraded to 90 stall barns, then 210 stall barns.
  • I’ve been playing since January of this yeah, but it wasn’t until…June? Or so that I realized I needed show horses lol. So I started focusing on June and at the moment I’m at 34K…I need to go through an auction off my ten year olds still though.
  • my showing bonus is around 23k
