I was roaming around my page looking for eggs (although sometimes I just do this when I get bored) and I looked at my "Show Events" tab and I read this, "3/27/2016: Earned $1060 from Horse #262105 show result winnings." 

I had no idea we get monetary "prizes" for our animals placing in shows! I totally thought we just paid to enter shows and the reward was the animal getting the points.

I believe they didn't used to show the winnings, but had to add in a record because someone was cheating or something?? My memory is hazy but I believe that's why a whole tab is now dedicated to tracking that!

Yes the amount of money you earn equals the amount of points :)
We track it now as in the past we have had reports of animals not gaining anything, when they have, so now we have a way to track it just incase.

^^^ Clever staff. :)
