Question About competing

[Kitt-Cat]

i was wondering what's better for competing a horse to have it on a sponsor account or a novice one?
And does it hurt the horse if they are in the pasture?

As long as you have a npc rider and are competing in events where NPC riders are better than using yourself as a rider...you can use either ranch type and neither do better than the other.

And does it hurt the horse if they are in the pasture?

Some people say that being in pasture hurts horses, but all of my eventers are kept in pasture and still make multi-millions...so I don't think it hurts the horse. It used to before we got ageless pastures.

how do you tell if a rider is better then yourself for a event i was looking at where the endurance horses are kept and most of the winners are on sponsor accounts

Endurance is better with a Sport NPC rider so it could do well on a novice account too...as long as you have the rider and Meths.

Gaited and Halter Showmanship are the only events where you don't want to use a NPC rider.

Well, their stats look very good, so I'll cover the basic things I can't see...tack, methed fully, and disciplines maxed? There are some massive endurance eventers out there right now because of Draggy's trainoff...so I think your training is fine as far as I can see...so maybe it's the horses that are running...or you could be missing a key ingredient, like the 3 I mentioned.

Yep, there's "ranges" of each. You horses might be a the lowest point of very hyper, when you want them at the highest point.
