Stamina
Stamina represents how long your horse can sustain higher gaits, especially gallop, before tiring. It is one of the most important stats for racing and training.
📊 Stamina Bar
The stamina bar is displayed on your HUD:
[||||||||||||||||||||||||||]
Same length as the Gait Bar.
Depletes as your horse runs.
Refills slowly over time.
⚙️ Key Mechanics
When stamina runs out, the horse will drop from Gallop → Canter.
If the horse is overworked, it may kick the rider off.
Training increases stamina permanently.
Using stamina makes horses hungry and thirsty.
🏋️ Stamina Training
Training (riding or lunging) increases stamina capacity.
Short-distance (sprinter) horses use stamina more quickly.
Long-distance (endurance) horses conserve stamina longer.
Higher stamina levels take longer to reach.
🌿 Recovery
Stamina will slowly regenerate, but recovery speed depends on:
Food → low hunger makes stamina drain faster.
Water → dehydration reduces stamina recovery.
Rest → tired horses take longer to recover.
Age → younger horses bounce back faster than older ones.
⏳ Age Effects
4–7 years → Best stamina growth through training.
7–10 years → Moderate growth, slower recovery.
10+ years → Smaller stamina gains.
12+ years → 5% stamina decline per year.
🔢 Stamina Levels
Each horse has a Stamina Level (0–??).
Higher levels = longer endurance before slowing down.
Once gained, stamina levels are permanent and won’t decrease unless affected by age decline.
🏇 Example in Action
A horse with low stamina can gallop for 30 seconds before dropping to canter.
After training stamina up, the same horse might gallop for 2 minutes before tiring.
If the horse is hungry or dehydrated, it may only last half as long.
