Equines

Equines is a module which progressively allows players to "train" their horses, following which their horses would be faster, fitter, and better.

Equines only affects horses and mules. It does not affect llamas, donkeys, zombie horses. Nor does it affect skeletal horses or pigs.

Overview
"Training" a horse can involve riding it around for extended periods of time. Only a horse which is ridden can be trained. It is possible to AFK-train using water streams.

When a horse is successfully trained, villager green particles appear around the horse, indicating success.

Statuses are multiplicative and can be combined with other speed effects (i.e. an Equines horse which is 20% faster, combined with speed I effect, will gain a total of 120% x 120% speed boost) (i.e. the speed effects stack).

'''Trained traits are not hereditary. Breeding trained horses does not equate to better offspring.'''

Default Devaluation
By default, all horses and mules are devaluated.

Horses are 10% slower by default, have 20% less jump height, and 10% less health.

Mules are 15% slower by default, have 25% less jump height, and 5% less health.

Devaluation is important in keeping horses balanced. Zombie and skeletal horses, together with donkeys are not subject to devaluation.

Jump height training
Jumping 5 times while on a horse has a 6/11 (about 54%) chance of upgrading the horse's jump.

5/22 chance of upgrading the horse's jump once.

5/22 chance of upgrading the horse's jump twice.

1/11 chance of upgrading the horse's jump thrice.

Every tier upgrade increases the horse's jump strength by 1.4583333%. A maximum increment of 65.46249599999999% to the initial jump height can be reached after 60 upgrades.

Speed training
Riding a horse for 1 km in game has a 3/5 chance of upgrading the horse's base speed.

1/5 chance of upgrading the horse's base speed once.

1/5 chance of upgrading the horse's base speed twice.

3/25 chance of upgrading the horse's base speed thrice.

2/25 chance of upgrading the horse's base speed four times.

1/25 chance of upgrading the horse's base speed five times.

Every tier upgrade increases the horse's base speed by 1.6666667%. A maximum increment of 125.00000000025% to the initial speed can be reached after 75 upgrades.

Trivia
Equines can be combined with Better Bardings to further boost the speed of a horse. A horse with maximally upgraded barding will experience a speed boost of 80%. Combined with a fully trained horse, since the percentages are multiplicative, the horse can end up 2.25 times faster than the initial version.
