I've only ever had up to 2hbs.

Ammit has said that damages are trying to tell you something about the horse. I got curious and looked at all my horses who have done damages to try and find some kind of correlation. The only thing I did find is that horses that do damages most likely had a parent that did too.

My data group was only about 12 horses. When I have a little more time and energy, I'd like to do a 50 horse data group (100 would bre better but I just don't have the time.)

I remember I had a mare that did about 1,000 hbs in damage in the span of a week I owned her. She was quickly sent the to auction house because of her chaotic behavior.

I'm much more delighted to see my horses doing only 2 hbs of damage.

I used to play HJ a long time ago when things like PT testing didn't exist and the Showing Aptitude Test was the only thing that existed to test mares besides papering. And papering wasn't much help because you could get a mare to paper way higher than she should by breeding her to high quality stallions so she would produce 3 very nice foals (there were many people who had Gold papered foundation mares at one point). The SAT only told you if the mare was significantly better at showing than at breeding, so a mare that was a terrible breeder could still get through SAT without being showing recommended if she was even worse at showing than she was at breeding. If I remember correctly, damages were the game's way of telling you that a horse was not a good breeder. Or maybe it was that the horse was very inconsistent, I don't remember.

I remember when PT scores were first released and I had one Blue papered foundation mare that Doris said was a llama and not a horse. 😂 Now I'm feeling all nostalgic lol. Does anyone else remember the Purple Corn Roans and Purple Corn Roan Duns? Or Haystack's stallion Adventzkranazan (no clue how it was actually spelled) that had every single pattern in the game including Brindle? I remember that Ammit had a stallion named Mr. Brightside and I think a lot of her other stallions had names that started with Mr. as well.
