Great video! How much practice does it take you to get all the lines/distances where you want them? Also do you have a favorite horse? I really enjoy all of the options and their differences but especially on the more novice courses I feel like Damon is sort of overpowered, like he can jump from any distance and clear it because his scope is enormous haha
Thankee! I spend a lot of time practicing lines, so I'm fairly quick at it these days, but when I first started playing it used to take me about double if not triple what it takes me now. Presently, if I don't try to get fancy or quick I can clear a blind course in 1-2 attempts. I was able to get this particular video after spending between 15 minutes to 1 hour on each course. Sometimes I nail it really quick and sometimes it takes me a while to find a nice route (turns out there's a ton of little variations to these courses if I'm trying to time crunch). This process has just gotten steadily easier and easier as I've continued to play and test stuff with each horse. I crash all the time still. Oh ya, I agree that Damon is 100% smurfing in the earlier courses and is actually really kind of unpleasant to use there. It's like buying a Veyron to drive 30 in the city lol. I feel bad, like, I'd be getting dirty looks in RL for daring to enter that horse in the Cavaletti. His basically infinite stamina (in current competitions) makes him feel really cheaty sometimes. However, it is good practice for learning to control him in some cases, as a few of the combos can be done much cleaner with understanding of his speed/jump height correlation and such. My favorite horse is Rose since she'll try to jump any height and she'll run way faster than she should. She's the most fun to me because she's 'unlocked' in this way, and I've learned way more from riding her than any of the other horses since she's infinitely more complex. She taught me the true importance of lining up the optimal launch properly (a 'point' inside the jump window with realistic on that gives a bigger jump) since she's the only horse allowed to try jumping higher than what is easy for them (barring of course stacking one jump in front of the other, this is a way to make horses jump higher than their forced max). With their baked in height maxes, the only other horse that sometimes takes advantage of this 'point' is Damon, but only over 175CM TRIPLES, so it's much harder to even realize practice is needed. With Rose, not taking advantage is immediately noticeable when I try to tackle 155-160CM. Also bias cause she reminds me so much of the all-business pony I used to do small-fry jumper and eventing on when I was younger lol. Hopefully this was useful and not too rambly! :D

You don"t yse a realistic jump. When you yse it, under the stamina hawe a horseshoe
Go turn on realistic jumping and then enter a competition. You'll notice the shoe is removed to make it more challenging.
you do not enter the jumps correctly
If this was Hunter you would be correct. Jumper is about getting over it, not style.
