How do Shows Work?
- How do shows work?
- Horses on Hunt & Jump earn points for every show they enter. Those points earn your barn bonus cash that is added to your balance every day; extra money on top of your weekly paycheck!.
- To make money you just have to show your horses. You should show every horse you own in order to earn points to increase your daily showing bonus!
- Any show will do, the game automatically lists classes that will be a good fit for your horse. Don't worry if your horses share or even fill up a whole class. It doesn't hurt your winnings and is perfectly ok to do so. Horses can show up to twice a week.
- Foals/Yearlings do not train until they turn 2 years old. Since they don’t train, they won’t improve. Their training scores will stay the same until they turn 2
- Horses living in pastures do not show.
What are showing levels?
-
-
- You can see a chart of all the levels and grades if you click on "My Show Entries" under Showing in the left menu bar. The levels are sometimes referred to by number and other times by their full name. Here is a list of the available levels.
- Level 1-- Inhand (Horses are shown in a halter class, not ridden)
- Level 2 -- Green under saddle (horses are being ridden, but not jumped)
- Level 3 -- Green over fences (horses are now ready to be jumped)
- Level 4 -- Training (horses are being schooled to improve the height and complexity of the jumps)
- Level 5 -- C Level (more difficult, higher jumps)
- Level 6 -- B Level (even higher jumps and more complex patterns of jumps)
- Level 7 -- A Level (increasing difficult of jump courses)
- Level 8 -- Grand Prix (the highest, most complex jump courses, done by the most talented horses and riders. A horse would have to be competing at this level to qualify for the Olympics in Show Jumping, for instance.)

Why aren't my foals doing well in shows?
-
- In foal/yearling classes (horses less than a season old) showing is literally a coin flip. They can’t train yet and there are only two horses in level 1L classes, so winning is totally luck based and has nothing to do with Ability.
