Ride all three phases, not just the one you like. Plan the training week for a yard of six horses, walk the dressage test movement by movement, choose your cross-country route and pace band, then jump the show-jumping round on legs that are already tired.
The phases genuinely interact: a hard run across the country wins back time penalties but costs condition that shows up in the jumping. Six authored dressage tests, six cross-country courses of 22 to 28 fences, six show-jumping tracks, 30 yard horses with portraits and stat spreads, and 22 veterinary and yard events with numeric consequences sit behind a six-fixture season with standings.
For the player who wants the whole event, from the first halt to the final penalty sheet.
