So.. what happens to the fees you pay in advance for a horse that died? 
In the same vein, any chance that prepaid stable fees can be transferred over to a new beast? Or make it so that you pay into a stable fee 'pool' of sorts, which is then used to upkeep all the beasts that you have stabled?

So, it seems like a beast gets 2 'free' reagent administrations (so you don't have to feed it anything), and then subsequent administrations require 2 of the corresponding feeds. Beasts eats ONE feed every midnight. Each reagent gives 10 training points. So, to get the full 600 points, you need 116 feeds and 58 reagents. So, realistically, on average that is about 116 hours you have to be training to get the full 600 training points on one beast.
NOTE: The above numbers are assuming that it only takes 2 feeds per reagent. This may be more.
This just seems a bit excessive to me, as it is already expensive to raise beasts.
Any one of the following solution could really help turn beastmastery away from annoying to fun:
1) Allow beasts to eat from feedbags while stabled (maybe 50% chance each midnight?).
2) Allow beasts to eat more than 1 feed each day (noon?).
3) Raise the amount of training per reagent to 15, if not 20.

1) Yes please.
2) NOTHX!!! I'm not THAT rich! And considering the feedbag is so tiny already that would make my beast starve if I look away for just ONE TINY moment.
3) OMFG NOOOOOOO!!! I'm a perfectionist. I need the 10 increments to get the specific trains I want.

Can we get the feedbag to last longer than 5 hours? 12 seems like a good number.
YES PLEASE! I'd even say as much as 16-20 feed so you can leave it out of the stable for a few hours (ie work) and don't have to worry. Right now if you log out and forget to return your beast to the stable it'll die before you are back from work.

EDIT: And as a cook, no thank you for riftable feed. The stuff lasts 25 months as it is.
Just the shoprift! It's utterly idiotic trying to sell it right now. If you do WARES FEED in my shop, you only see the vegetables and eggs. Meat, fruit etc won't even show up anymore.
Please make it RIFTABLE or GROUPABLE! (So you can sell it in groups of 10-20 for example. That would majorly cut down on the shop issue as well).

Here's one: make it so the beast coming out of incubation comes out with at least one hour's worth of food in his feedbag, to avoid what happened to Thoros and others, where it died the instant it came out because that happened to be midnight.
S.A.W. got what I meant.
So.
That's just the ones I caught. Feel free to expand the list and keep the style to make it -one- list. Not several.
PS: I didn't include those ideas that met resistance.
-----------------------------------------------
Beastmastery change requests / Ideas:
o Add scooping to Beastmastery. (unless it is no longer required to get items while mounted)
o Allow feed items to be shopriftable or groupable to make stocking them in larger quantities easier. Same for reagents
o Make beasts eat from their feedbag first when stabled and only -then- eat the stable food to allow people to train them in a reasonable time even if not logged in much.
o Have more feed fit into the feedbag. Right now it is only like 5 feed lasting 5? hours. Make it 10-20.
o Allow beasts to be referred to by name. IE right now you'd do BEAST INFO
o Add vaulting to Beastmastery.
o Make it so the beast coming out of incubation comes out with at least one hour's worth of food in his feedbag, to avoid what happened to Thoros and others, where it died the instant it came out because that happened to be midnight.
Possible Bugs / Weirdness:
o Rumor has it Incubation should be 24 rl hours. It is actually 30? Longer in either case.
As for hunting companions.. IDK sounds like an envoy issue?
