Speed testing for horse shoe quality
*Does not carry a signature.
== Speed Testing ==
* The following speed results were done using a wild horse - no traits of any kind on March 04, 2015.
* The rider weighted 85.6 kg.
* The base speed of this horse, with no shoes was 13.69 kph on a '''flat cobbled road'''.
* The testing was a continuous non-stop process and did not afford the horse a chance to graze. During testing at the 140 Total Shoe Quality level, the horse became hungry, resulting in a prompt speed reduction, from 15.11 kph to 12.2 kph. Feeding the horse restored its speed performance.
* It was found that the '''sum of the qualities''' of the shoes had an effect on the speed of the horse as seen below.
* Shoes of various qualities were mixed in order to provide quality sums in increments of 10 - for example, 70 QL total = 1 shoe at 30 QL and 1 shoe at 40 QL.
* Testing for total shoe quality above 200 was not possible due to lack of higher quality shoes for testing at this time.
