Heartland Racing Stables

Intelligence, Agility, Balance, Strength

***Note: This is only a general guideline as how much energy something will take depends on the courses you've completed.

1. Begin Training with Arena, Walk, Longe on Flat, Max Time You can Train. (I.e. I can start a horse at 20 minutes, then I may be able to do 5 more) Continue this until you are able to start your horse on 30 minutes in the Arena at a Walk while Lunging on Flat.

2. Train on Arena at a Walk while Lunging until you are able to switch to Collection and Impulsion (+Strength, +Stamina, ++Intelligence, +Movement, 5 Difficulty) for 30 minutes at a time. Should take a few turns-ish. Continue this until you have maxed out stamina (99.8%)! This will take awhile. When you have completed the energy saver courses, you will eventually be able to get down to this only taking 5% energy every 30 minutes of work. Continue this until you no longer gain any stamina or intelligence.

3. Switch to Jumping Obstacles (++Balance, ++++Agility, ++Strength, +Speed, 9 Difficulty). This will allow you to quickly gain agility, strength, and speed! Continue with this until you no longer gain Agility.

4. Switch to Ground Poles (+Intelligence, +++Tempo, ++Movement, 6 Difficulty). This will allow you to finish up Movement and Tempo at the same time. Continue until you no longer gain any Movement or Tempo.

5. Switch to Lunge on Flat again. Then change the gait to gallop. Continue with this until you no longer gain any Speed.

Here's a quick rundown of hints to look for, when looking for, or dealing with pearl.

--> A single cream (palomino, smoky black or brown & buckskin) CANNOT be carrying a pearl gene.
--> If the horse is not champagne and the eyes are not clearly dark, the horse is either a double cream or a cream & pearl.
--> Pearl is recessive, meaning that the bloodline will show 'plain' looking horses then suddenly a double dilute and then again plain looking horses (when bred to other plain looking horses). So the pedigree will look rather normal, as like this horse's pedigree: https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2308442 (there's also some brilliantly strong duns there too).
--> Pearl can be easily mistaken for double cream, with the same pink skin, except pearl offers darker manes (then double cream) and has dark eyes (with the exception of the tiger eye gene).
--> A double pearl can never come from a single cream, regardless of the color.
--> Two solid-colored horses can produce a double dilute pearl foal.
--> One solid-colored horse and a double dilute can produce a double dilute pearl (which means each parent carries a single pearl gene (the double dilute then is a cream & pearl or a double pearl).
--> Two double dilutes can produce a double dilute pearl (which means both parents are a cream & pearl or also double pearl).
