Post Horse Statistics: START and responsiveness to training
Does the START bar respond well to training or is it stubborn?
If I place a horse on a STARTING training regimen, how should I go about it?
Some ideas I've seen:
1. Eight consecutive weeks
2. Twelve consecutive weeks
3. Intermittently throughout the entire season

Also, has any of you observed a large increase in the START bar (post-training) in one season?

Your opinions please....

I manual train my horses. After a race and during a horses rest period I set the special training that needs improving - Starting or Agility. I do this for the horses whole career until both starting and agility are at "good". Basically, during the rest period set the special training that needs improving on until it is at good. Almost always it will improve. Some horses will not improve but they are a rarity.

The start bar will improve with special training improvements. I think acceleration improves from agility special training.

This certainly helps. I will focus more on manual training now -- I was neglecting this part of the game.

Thanks
