Wrong horse being selected to be challenged by others.

    OK on the training part, but how would I manually select each time when I'm not even logged in?  Seems being challenged while I'm sleeping is something I have absolutely no control over.  Correct?  Or are there settings for that I missed?

    As for the manually selecting part, all my horses get trained the same way.  Up ten points on each skill then breed.  It's not like I get one real high in racing, one in jumping and like that.  I don't.  So shouldn't matter then right?  When I'm doing the challenging it's always my top horse that goes.  Same horse since I only have one top horse.  

    It's late… not sure Im making sense here.  
    See what I do when not playing silly games.

    To select manually:

    1-click on the horse transporter
    2-click on Tournament Preparation tab
    3-select the horse you want for each of the tournament categories
    4-Make sure the box "Select the horse for each discipling automatically" is UNCHECKED.

    You don't have to do this each race. The settings should stay put (although it's a good idea to check them now and then.)

    Ok, I see how to do that now. Thanks.

    BUT again, my top horse is my top in all three.  I never saw any advantage in training one higher in any one skill.  They go up by ten, breed, repeat.  So the top horse is the top in everything.  Now if only I could prevent the others from being bullied while I'm not even playing.  

    Be nice if we had a breeding farm, (off limits to racing, just training and breeding.)  And one for the all out racers.   

    Guess I'll just keep doing what I've been doing.

    If you follow the steps above, your other horses will not be "bullied" while you're asleep. Only the horse you designated will be challenged.

    I went and fixed all three farms now.   And already I noticed I'm moving up in ranks faster than before.  
    Very cool.

    If you send your champion to the Cooperative Horse Meadow, it will be unselected when it is successfully trained.  Horse #1 will be selected in its place :frowning:

    So make sure that you go back to the Tournament Preparation tab to re-select your champion :smile:

    Ok, I have right now only two horses.   A level 70 and one still in training at 64.
    This time around, since before this season even started, I am making sure number 2 there, my 64 guy is always in training.
    So how is it when I view the reports I keep seeing him losing?   I SHOULD only have one available horse to race right?  The level 70 one.  The other is BUSY TRAINING so why do I keep seeing him in the reports?   (Besides the fact I have it set to always take the best horse.)   Still… isn't one in training unavailable to race?

    What am I missing here?
     "Select best horse" has never worked properly. Uncheck the check box and then go to each discipline and select the best horse yourself. You should find this works ok.   :¬)

    Why does my horse racing choose the wrong horse, I have chosen the horse I want, the box that allows the game to choose the horse it wants is unchecked, yet it constantly chooses the incorrect horse, both when I am challenged and when I try to race.



  • shazamd (US1)shazamd (US1) US1 Posts: 766
    If the checked horse is in a training session, it can't be used in a competition, so the system selects the next best horse. I don't know if that's the case here, but that is one possibility.
  • Katahdin Farm (US1)Katahdin Farm (US1) Posts: 1
    Well that is not true either because the horse that was not supposed to be chosen, pictured in the first photo was the one in training, the one that is pictured in the second photo has not been in training for months.  So it not only chose a choice that I didn't indicate but chose a horse that was in training
  • Data King (US1)Data King (US1) US1 Posts: 7,987
    Each race you should select the horse you want to use. Do not use the pre You have no choice when it comes to others challenging you. Do not use the pre select option for your horse as it does not work.

    That is the problem with my game too,  it is not using the horse I select no matter what I do, even if the only other horse is in training.  Is this another long term bug in the game?  I never heard it mentioned before and it always worked before now because I check on races I was not present for and they have been correct.

    Despite having my 'best horse' for each discipline selected i'm regularly disappointed to see that a lower horse has some how been challenged... and all those precious comp points lost!!

    I'm aware that my best horse can't compete while training, but it hasn't always been an issue when challenged..or has that been a matter of timing? Is this a glitch..a bug or me simply not understanding what happens when my best horse is in training?

  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,606
    Unselect "best horse for each challenge," and manually select the horse you want to compete in each category.  Not a glitch, but it doesn't work as it should.  And, yes, your horse can be challenged when in training.

    @humpty (AU1) Just to clarify, as you can see from this thread, this bug has been around for a long time & does appear to happen when your top horse is in training & the auto select is switched on, but the devs assure us that it is just a display error & even though it shows a lower level horse on the challenge, it is actually your top horse that competes.

    There is some evidence to support that claim, we have seen screenshots of some challenge results, where it shows a level 0 horse with an 80% chance of winning, which would be the correct % for the top horse.

    Started this morning. When I go to start a challenge in the Horse Tournament, it automatically selects the wrong horse for me, and always the one that's in training.

    This is not the known issue where this happens when you set it to "select the best horse."

    As you can see, I have the horse selected that I want to use. Have done from the very first day. Always check my settings before each tournament.  Even reset them after this issue.

    Have never had a problem until this morning.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    Tried it again with no horses in training, and again, it selected the wrong one. What's going on here?

    ok It's not just me that is having this trouble with their *horse selections not taking. So I have been manually selecting the correct horse I wish to use to challenge fellow horses for each one.
    So yes it does seem to be another or the same bug there.

    Thank goodness. Thought I was losing it. Another new bug crops up. *sigh*  My worry is that that those who challenge us aren't challenging the right horse.  Mods, please look into this.

     We have never been able to control who challenges us or which horse they choose to challenge with. If used right one can win a lot of challenges against others because of this.
     Heck one can even get challenged while training :(
     I haven't been able to double check if a horse in the horse meadow can be challenged while being in the meadow yet, but won't doubt it :(

    A horse in the Meadow can defo be challenged. (A good thing for me cos' my top show jumper is in there)

    Do you happen to have that horse in training?
    If you do then it does select another horse.
    I also found with mine if it had finished training it still did not go back to it automatically I had to put it back there again.
