If you remember how to train, you can purchase cheap grinder-prospects from the market, train them up and sell them at 70k a pop (between 45k and 100k, depending on the lineages). It's quick and direct and rather fast sales. My grinders disappear within 24 hours when I do some of this style of money-management. The trick is to put them with the heading 'Grinder' and with only a buyout price. :mrgreen:

oh ok sweet! im a bit rusty but can practice then maybe do that lol.. also not sure if people still ask for help with this... but do people still get people to "pop" their pregnant mares? lol i had a conversation in my PMs it looks like about that, but not sure if people still look for that?
Yup! People still look for that, the quicker you can do so, the better. And should work quite smoothly with training.
Plus, your rusty training horse can still be sold too, even if a little older. As long as he's 15 or under, you can still get him gone for 45k. 35k in 24 hours. It's all about getting them gone quick, unless you have a freeze account and they can sit around for a couple days.

I do recommend that you open up a sales topic though and keep it updated on available stock. And manually bump it every day or two. Grinders can easily get lost in the sales market, even today. :)

:) Sounds like you've forgotten a bit. No problems at all! I'll try to cover what I can, if somebody doesn't answer before me. ;)

Freeze and board accounts simply don't use turns. So just don't use turns and your account will be 'frozen'. It's not really something we do, more something we don't do. If we don't use turns, the horses just won't age and that's the goal.
Second, admin does like when we spend money on them ;) so you're free to purchase upgrades and PT on the accounts they go to. You can purchase from your main account, just be sure to put in the account it's going to and get the name correct (done on the same screen as purchasing, so look sharp). Or, to save yourself the hassle, just order from the account you want the extras on.

Just as a reminder, there is no transferring of PT between accounts, so if you have XXX PT on one account, you can NOT transfer those to another.

Anything else? :mrgreen:

:D :D
1) Open a forum in general chat with a heading like: Popping Mares
Then fill in your prices and time-range. I suggest you have your frozen account ready. Sometimes people tend to disappear just as their mare is ready to return. Also, stalking the chats is a good place to pick up popping jobs.
2) Yes, but you should need just one horse. Grab a cheapie from the market under 10k, you should be able to find one with HGP in the 60k range for even $1 and that's under 5 years. Then get to training. Focus on stamina first (at least to 80%) and then fill in the rest of the stats. Remember stamina will take 2/3 of the total training time. Then when he's all done, either keep in to grind with while you train your next horse, or put him up for sale and get rid of him.
3) You can play your sides as you like. As long as your competition comes off of just two accounts (you only compete from two accounts, no more). Many of us actually use a side account for sales, in this way, the horses don't age while they await interest. But remember, basic accounts are allowed as many immediate-sale horses as you want but only TWO best offer or private sales. And also, be sure to put up all your immediate-sale horses first, because best offer and private sales will lock your immediate-sales as well.
