Make Your EC Prosper
Boarders
The cost of boarding
Your equestrian center can receive boarded horses. You can choose the boarding cost per horse per night via your center's office. This cost must be between 10 and 25 . However, when you board your own horses in your center, you pay nothing and your center earns nothing.
Minimum skill requirement
You can set a minimum skill requirement for the horses boarded at your center. This is also done in the Office of your equestrian center. Only horses with this minimum skill set may be registered with your center. Note, however, that this also concerns breeders for whom you have reserved a box. If their horse does not meet the minimum requirement that you set, they will not be able to register with your center.
Extending a stay
Check your Office for news on a regular basis. You will find boarding extension requests from breeders who have a horse boarded at your center, and you will be free to accept or refuse these requests.
The influence of boarders on prestige
The horses that you board naturally have an impact on your center in terms of their number but also in terms of their health and their skill level.

Lessons
Your equestrian center can organize riding lessons. The breeders of horses boarded at your center decide whether or not they want to take lessons at your center.This way, they'll earn a certain amount of money that will depend on the quality of the lessons. This amount won't be deducted from your account, you only need to pay the instructors' salaries.
The price of the lesson depends on the prestige of your center, the number of instructors (you need one riding instructor for thirty boxes), the health and dressage rating of the horses that you board. The number of lessons that your center can offer every day is unlimited. Only normal horses are counted in the calculation.

Competing
You can organize competitions in your equestrian center. When the top-ranking horses on Howrse join in your competitions, your center's prestige increases!
All competitions require 5 participants. They begin automatically a few minutes after the registration has closed. The next registrations open 24 hours after the previous competition ends. If no horses have registered for your competition, you can change the minimum level or the race track on the competitions page in the Equestrian Center menu.
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.
Classical Riding Competitions
If your equestrian center specializes in Classical Riding, you can organize:
When 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 creating your center, you get one small race track that can hold one speed race a day. You may then buy a second track at the equestrian center store. The maximum number of race tracks per center is 2. To earn optimum prestige, you need to organize 2 races and therefore have 2 race tracks.
Western Riding Competitions
If your equestrian center specializes in Western Riding, you can organize:
When organizing reining and trail class competitions, before any horses can register, the difficulty of the courses you build must meet the minimum levels in galloping for reining competitions and dressage for trail class competitions.
Before organizing a cutting competition, you need to get calves at the equestrian center store. When you create your competition, you get one calf for free. The number of calves you have determines the minimum level of stamina needed for a horse to register in the competition.
Competitions for rookie horses
You may reserve your competitions for rookie horses. Your competitions will win more prestige than same-level competitions that are open to all horses, and you win 500 Equus every time your competitions for rookie horses are held.
Rookie horses are horses that have won less than 20 victories and that have no skills higher than 330. This number is re-calculated every night.
