Hey guys as some of you know I have a few arabians in RL I have crabbets/polish not egyptian halter horses. I'm an endurance rider in RL too. noticed that the endurance on ss is probably a bit for fun, but I'd like to see it get closer to the real thing. For a start the forms for the show is unrealistic just write in what terrain your horse is good at or not. Well I think it's ok but should be adapted to a bit maybe have a few legs to the ride and ride lengths, horses should also pass a heart rate intro of 20km and complete 2 40k training rides then compete into 80km, 120km which then lead into marathons 320km. These can be split into legs, so 80k could be 2x 40k so for each leg the horses trot should be judged to check for lameness this could be done with a randomizer/dice, as well as heart rates anything over 30 and under 55 beats in a minute is acceptable anything over is scratched. Now as far as horse breeds go a I've never ever seen a drought horse at a RL endurance event ever. They might scrape through a 20km intro ride but horses breeds should have something to do with completion so maybe have a point system and put add penalty points to them or something. As a RL endurance rider the ss version is a bit easy in comparison, I understand this is a game forum but wouldn't it be nice if it had a bit more difficulty/competition. There should be a recovery time after each leg with a max of 10minutes or DQ the winner below would be the thoroughbred cause his heart rate was the same as the arabians but his recovery time to that rate was only 8 minutes rather than 9. Recovery times will have to be made using a randomizer of judge. Obviously horses in the show are going to be better in different terrains so that should be taken into the judgement too. Penalty points are added to the heart rates, this is only for larger breeds/ heavy breeds. This is as close and simple as I can get to the real thing.
Here's what I'm thinking (just for example this is a 20k intro ride)
Show Name: horse 1
Breed: Arabian
Penalty Points: 0
Endurance Points: 0
Plains: Good
Rainforest: Great
Desert: Poor
Beach: Good
Mountains: Great
Pre-ride heart rate: 37
Horse pose riding through area
Horse trot with leadline
Show Name: horse 2
Breed: Thoroughbred
Penalty Points: 0
Endurance Points: 0
Plains: Good
Rainforest: Great
Desert: Poor
Beach: Good
Mountains: Great
Pre-ride heart rate: 37
Horse pose riding through area
Horse trot with leadline
Show Name: horse 3
Breed: Clydesdale
Penalty Points: 5
Endurance Points: 0
Plains: Good
Rainforest: Great
Desert: Poor
Beach: Good
Mountains: Great
Pre-ride heart rate: 45
Horse pose riding through area
Horse trot with leadline
Judge writes: Horse 2 wins as all other fields are the same as his opponents for this example he wins with best heart rate in shortest recovery time.
horse 1
Recovery Time Taken:9 minutes
Heart Rate: 40
horse 2
Recovery Time Taken: 8 minutes
Heart Rate: 40
horse 3
Recovery Time Taken: 10 minutes
Heart Rate: 54
Lemme know what you think or what could be expanded upon for a game forum, I mean there's a lot missing still but it will be to hard and time consuming for everyone. Please Admin and Mods consider these changes, I'm speaking from a RL endurance riders point of view. If not disregard haha I'm probably just a bit fanatic.
