THIS GUIDE IS NOT COMPLETE I AM STILL POSTING IT BIT BIT, THANKS :-)
A Complete Six-Bolding Guide (Training, BLUPing, Bolding) Written by Yours Truly!
I am finally getting around to making a training guide per skill set. This guide is labeled for Arabs because that's what I made it with, but it will work for any breed whose top three skills are Stamina, Dressage, Jumping. It will work for Hanoverians, for example. It's a Six-Bolding schedule, and with six-bolding, your horse will be fully trained, skilled, and BLUPed along the way. Thus, this is as much as you can do with the horse- once you're done everything is completed.
DISCLAIMER:
Originally I used the guides posted in the forum of CiCi's Owner on the International server. I soon found that my horses were getting too skinny, too fat, it was getting too late, it was running out of energy, etc. It just wasn't working, and I was following them to the letter, so I decided that using the basis of CiCi's guides I would create my own. The Order of Operations and basic skeleton of her guides are what this was built on. She had no meadow times or lessons, and to me lessons are *very* important, so I added them- it takes 3 hours of training energy away daily and takes you a bit longer to get things done but you get maximum skills without clouding or any BMIs or showers at all.

About This Training Method:
I use this on my Arabs and Hanos, personally. Please DO NOT copy this without giving me full credit. If you copy it to your page/forum/EC page/whatever, please title it "Stamina/Dressage/Jumping Bolding guide by thewarrenranch INT. server" or something along those lines. Make sure you say in the post itself, if in a forum, that I wrote it, not just in the title. I have had things stolen before, but I just want to make sure this isn't gonna be another. When you copy it be sure to copy the note about the training below. If you can, a link back to this page would be nice, but I understand if you can't/would rather not.
It DOES NOT require BMIs, or a shower box. It doesn't leave time for a P. stroke, it's that way because I am a non pass buyer. Feel free to do a bit of remodeling to fit your needs. You don't need to use an MA on this, just age it with APs or do it everyday with no APs, it doesn't matter, just depends on your time frame.
It DOES require clean boxes and meadows in a good EC with carrots, and a stock of Turnips. There is a lesson daily. You can leave it out and fill that time on training if you want, but unless you plan on clouding the horse and doing lessons over the years every day, you'll lose a lot of skills.
I am an American and this will work on International and US servers with the food amounts, but if you're on any server other than the US or Int. then you'll need to use a pounds to kilograms converter like this one (opens in a new tab).

Basic order of operations:
Train dressage
Train jumping
Cross country Comps until no more gains
Stamina training
Long jump rides
Speed training
Trot and gallop races until no more gains
Trot training
Gallop training
Short trot rides
Long gallop rides
Dressage Training- Daily Schedule, Follow Till Training Is Complete:
Groom
Lesson
1 hour meadow
Train dressage for 2 hours
Feed 15 pounds forage* and 7.2 pounds grain
Carrot
6 and a half hours dressage training
Stroke
Drink
OPTIONAL: Depending on time left, you can put horse in meadow. Use discretion. Do not over feed horse by more than 2 & 1/2 pounds. You may also put horse in box, but do not lose more than 5% morale. No longer than an hour and a half. Make sure horse gets to bed no later than 22:00 (midnight).
Bed
*Sometimes, depending on the horse, it will sometimes tell you your horse is getting too fat. On such days, take what I call a "rest day". Groom, lesson, an hour of training training, stroke, carrot, turnip, water, bed, and maybe some meadow time if you like. Nothing big. The next day, you can pick up where you left off. I'm not sure why it does it and it doesn't happen with all my horses- just every now and then. In the the long run rest days don't really set you back any, esp. if you're doing it with no BMIs, you won't be done till the horse is between 11-16 years old anyway.
