Most players in this community have the goal of having the highest leveled horse of their breed. Not many people achieve that goal because of not being able to train at least 100 pages a day. So that’s why we picked Yoyinna who had the highest leveled Andalusian on the game to help show what happens if you put a lot of hard work into reaching your goal.

Adena Springs Breeding Ce: What is your horse's name and how old is he?

Yoyinna: My horse's name is Staccato he is 25 years and 4 months old.

Adena Springs Breeding Ce: What level was he when he was born and who are his parents?

Yoyinna: Staccato was a level 2 at birth. His sire was Animora - level 10 and his Dam was Anarosa - level 5. I purchased him at auction for 100 coins. Quite a bargain if you ask me! I tried several times to purchase his full sister, but was unable to buy her until she was much too old to do anything with and she was retired in my barn at level 2.

Adena Springs Breeding Ce: Did you barn train him, if so what level was he by the time he was 2 years?

Yoyinna: When Staccato became part of my stable there was no barn training. He was 2 months old when I bought him and when he turned 2 years old he was still level 2. But by the time he was 6 years and a half years old his training was over and he was level 105. He is still at level 105.

Adena Springs Breeding Ce: About how many pages a day did you train him?

Yoyinna: Whenever I train a horse, I try to be able to train at least 400 to 600 pages a day for 4 days, then rest and see where I am. I will go on from there or stop depending on my plans for the horse. My very high-leveled horses, of course, will go on several rounds like that.

Adena Springs Breeding Ce: Does show training that much affect all the other things you have to do on AVH?

Yoyinna: I check my other AVH related chores before I start show training for the day. If I don't I will forget to get things like vetting done. I can get very single-minded when I am show training, but I do take pride in doing all of my own training.

Adena Springs Breeding Ce: What advice would you give to someone with the goal of having a high level horse like Staccato?

Yoyinna: Before you start out with your show training, set your goal. It will be expensive to make all the shows you will need to get your horse to the very highest levels. Try to train with a competitive friend who will help make shows. Be persistent, you may have to take a break for a couple of days, or you may not be able to get to all the shows you want too, but don't stop... you cannot reach a goal if you stop trying.

Well I hope this interview encourages you to keep going on with your goals and don't stop if you think you can't do it. If you ever think you can't keep going just stop for a little bit, take break, and go do something else so you don't quit right after you started working hard on it! Good Luck with whatever you'd like to achieve in this wonderful hard working community!
