For those of you who are extremely successful with showing horses on here and make quite a bit every day with them, Is there any helpful tips that you would be willing to share as far as getting a higher bonus? I've always been so focused on breeding, but since bringing in more game money would be nice I am looking for some helpful ways to start getting better at it.

Thanks!

As you have probably heard spayed and gelded horses are the best show horses i also breed high papered stallions to foundation mares to get higher pt foals also buying horses with points can help it is slow going but once you get a few points its gets easier to collect more show ponies

Keep all the things lmao

Keep and show everything twice a week.

Buy another barn and continue to fill them

I try to make sure that all my barns (except for the Primary Barn, of course) are set for auto show. Occasionally I will purchase a new one and forget to do that for a while. :\">

Show all possible horses, neutered and intact.

Keep in mind that neuters are far from useless since Ammit created the Showing Bonus. They are the financial bedrock of a prosperous stable, since you won't be spending hard earned game cash breeding them. They can just sit there building up their point total and boosting the showing bonus. :D

Keep all the things.

Show all the things.

Profit.

Like they said, it's that simple and it's that hard. Every time you're tempted to ditch a horse, remember that it could be adding to your income even when it's not doing anything at all.

This is my current top earner: http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2904720 ... On the surface he's pretty much not very interesting. His PT is only 10.7 but he's been hanging out in my show barns for 24 YEARS and accrued 7222 points. Apparently just this week he got bumped from 7W to 8L and went from being at the top of his class to the bottom of it, so unless he magically swings back down he's not going to earn any more points at all. If I actually cared enough to bother with it I could move him to some kind of "Reserve" barn for horses who have points but aren't making points...

...but...

An 8L show costs 40 hbs to enter. 80 hbs a week. Just standing there he makes me 774 hbs every day. 5418 hbs a week.

Because I kept him. And I showed him.

Also if your looking for a show bonus boost I still have some $3000 aged & pointed horses for sale in my chat room “JL Show Horse Sales” and will be adding more tonight, tomorrow or Saturday depending when I can get on a computer. Trying to cut my show horses down to under 5000 and earning less than 300k lol

Generally, I buy a 90 stall barn every season and fill it with show horse foals, set it on auto show and leave it alone. Been doing that for maybe a year now, but it'll take a while for most of my show stock to start maturing. Regardless, my daily show bonus has been increasing. Slowly, but it's getting higher every week.

Thanks everyone! I have 18 barns that are all set to auto train, and I show everything I have even if they are intact. I think I will try to buy a few more good show horses to add to it. I just need to stop getting in the habit of selling back alot of the gelded / spayed foals I end up with. Lol.

Thank you for all of the advice, everyone!
