The English game focuses on English riding competition. It includes halter, dressage, pleasure, hunt seat, equitation, show jumping, cross country, endurance, and side saddle.

Getting Started

Once you've created your account you'll need to do a few things.

• Become familiar with navigation - the buttons on the left hand side of your account will take anywhere you need to go.

• Buy a horse - what's a horse game without a horse?

• Buy tack and clothes - you'll need these to show your horse

• Care for your horse - click on your horse's name for more options and statistics. Take your horse to the vet, farrier, and buy it some feed.

• Groom your horse - horses that are groomed do better in shows

• Tack your horse - you can show your horse without tack but chances of winning a show without tack on are pretty much zero.

• Enter your horse in a show - go to your account and click on enter shows. Select a show that's in circuit with the same level as your horse's grade. Select how to ride your horse and click the button to enter. Then go back and find and out of circuit show. You can enter 1 in circuit and 1 out of circuit show every day. As soon as the out of circuit show has run you can enter another one, that means you can enter several out of circuit shows in a single day.

• Check your show results - in circuit shows run every night. Out of circuit shows run that night or sooner if the show owner decides to run it before then.

• Now you've gotten the hang of the basics, but there's lots more to do!
