Consistency is a marker of how uniformly a horse scores when shown. This can range from perfect consistency (always the same score every week) to extremely inconsistent (perhaps, although I haven't tracked this in some time, more than 10 points difference in scores).

If a horse tests consistent it may be perfectly consistent or it may have a very slight variation in scores, up to 2 points above or below its base score.

Here's an example. A horse has a base score after its weekly training of 38. If it's consistency is +/-1, its actual score in the show might be 37, 38, or 39. Which it gets will be randomly generated when the show runs. If the horse is +/-2, its score might be 36, 37, 38, 39, or 40.

Inconsistent horses will have a greater variability than that, and it becomes very difficult to predict where it might place in a given show.

Generally speaking, a horse's consistency remains the same throughout its life. However, if you can afford it, an inconsistent horse may be made perfectly consistent in the Gene Modification Lab, as long as it is younger than 5 and has no living offspring. It costs one GMT token to do this. You can purchase these tokens for $5 each on the Upgrade with Real Money page, or you can buy one using game money for 20 Investment Vouchers.
