Why are my dressage horses doing so terrible in events!?

[MadGab]

With these stats, they shouldn't be doing as poorly as they are:

It's not just stats that matter, unfortunately.
The following are very important as well:
- Tack, full equipped (100% tack)
- Disciplines (should be 200)
- Rider (yourself with english riding skill, or level 127 english rider)
- Bonuses: Cool Competitor (the sub-bonuses are nice too), Proud and Proper, Magically Mighty, Teh Smarts, Fit and Fearless, and Grace and Glory.
