Training
Training is essential on Equinox to unlock a horse’s full potential.
Every horse starts with base stats, but through consistent riding and jumping, they can improve dramatically over time. The system is realistic and age-based, with performance peaks, gradual decline, and trait progression tied to levels.
Training can be done through riding or lunging, both of which build your horse’s abilities over time.

⏳ Training by Age
Training effectiveness depends on the age of the horse. Younger horses learn faster, while older horses slow down and eventually decline.
🐴 4–7 Years (Prime Training Age)
Riding or lunging for 5 minutes grants 0.014–0.027 XP.
75% chance of a boost: +0.028–0.054 XP.
Example: 5 minutes of riding = 0.027 + 0.028 = 0.055 XP total.
🐴 7–10 Years (Moderate Training Age)
Riding or lunging for 7 minutes grants 0.014–0.027 XP.
45% chance of a boost: +0.0098–0.0189 XP.
🐴 10+ Years (Slow Learners)
Riding or lunging for 10 minutes grants 0.014–0.027 XP.
25% chance of a boost: +0.0042–0.0081 XP.
🐴 12+ Years (Decline Phase)
From age 12 onwards, horses experience a 5% performance decline per year. This affects:
Speed (slower gaits)
Stamina (shorter sessions before tiring)
Jump (less explosive power)
XP gained from training
