Competitions
You can organize competitions in your equestrian center. When the top-ranking horses on Howrse join in your competitions, your center's prestige increases!
You need 5 participants for each competition. Competitions begin automatically a few minutes after registrations are closed. Registrations open again between 1 hour and 24 hours after the last contest took place, depending on the type of competition. As long as there are no registered horses, you can modify the minimum level or the course of your competitions through the competitions page in the equestrian center menu. If your competition has not been run for more than 5 days, you can modify it even if there are registered horses. You can reserve a competition for one specific breed by editing the settings. There are several different types of competitions, depending on your equestrian center's specialty. |
ClassicalWhen organizing cross-country, showjumping and dressage competitions, before any horses can register, the difficulty of the courses you build must meet the minimum levels in stamina for cross-country competitions, showjumping for showjumping competitions, and dressage for dressage competitions.
When you create your equestrian center you receive a small race track you can use to schedule one speed race per day. You can purchase a second one from the competitions page or from the store later. Each equestrian center can have up to 2 race tracks. To earn optimum prestige, you need to organize 2 races and therefore have 2 race tracks. Trot:
Trot races are set up at the race tracks in your Equestrian Center. They make use of the speed and dressage skills of horses as well as their gait: trot.
Gallop:

Cross Country:
Cross-country is a very demanding competition for horses. It requires stamina and skills in dressage and jumping. It is therefore a discipline reserved for the most versatile horses!
You can create your customized Cross-country course by placing obstacles on it as you wish. The more difficult your course, the larger your audience will be. However, only the best horses may take part in the most difficult courses. Show Jumping:
Show jumping is a discipline that requires great jumping qualities from the horses and very good dressage.
You can create your personalized show jumping course by placing each of the obstacles as you wish. The harder your course is, the more spectators will show up to watch it, but only the best horses can participate in it. Dressage:
Dressage is the basis of all equestrian disciplines. The dressage competition calls on the horse's gaits: gallop and trot, but most of all on its dressage skills.
