Dressage

Dressage is a weekly event, look for the gold trophy icon on the World Map.

Limited Time Note: Only horses with updated models can join the Dressage Show. This means that ponies, some heavy draft common breeds, most of the exclusive horses, and constellation III horses can not enter for now.

Join Dressage
A horse must have 6 energy points to show. You can participate in Dressage as many times as you like each day (only the first entry earns you 100 Show Coins ). After your first show, tap the blue arrows under your horse's picture to try again. Your highest score is the one automatically used on the Leaderboard.

What to Do
There are 4 basic parts to the scoring system (Horse, Tack, Moves/Training, Photos). Here are some brief descriptions and a few tips for higher scores!

The Horse's Breed
Each weekly show has 3 different breeds that are "Recommended Horses". These may receive a small score bonus. Tap the orange question mark next to the Show's name to see these.

Tip: When viewing your Available Horses list, each horse has an example base score for that horse. If you did nothing else, that is the amount of points that horse could earn in the show "on it's own". To increase this score, level up the moves, add tack and take photos!

Dressage Moves

 * There are several Dressage Moves. Each move has a different base point value at Level 1, either 50, 55 or 60 (see Dressage Moves for more point info). All moves may be trained to a higher level.
 * Horses can only perform a max of 4 moves.
 * Every horse has 2 "trained" Level 1 moves, then you can pick 2 additional "Learn" moves to add (depending on your horse's Stats, there may be up to 4 options).

Customization (Tack)
Adding Customization also improves your score! Possible points are from 0 (no tack) up to 150 points (50 points per item). Tap the blue hanger icon to enter the tack room. In the tack room view, under the Show's name, you can see a colored rating indicator (Common, Good, Great, Excellent). Keep trying different tack combinations to see what happens! The rating does not matter; Excellent tack might score less points than Good.

Tip: It doesn't have to be a matching set! Also, the rating is not a guarantee of bonus points.

Camera
Moment Capture (Photo) ~ Once your horse has started their show moves, be sure to catch 3 great photos! Each picture taken is worth 10 points. At the end of your horse's first show of the day OR if you've scored a higher score than your previous attempt(s), you will select a picture and then can request friend's to like it, each like is worth 1 point!

How is the score used?
Currently, your best score each day is accumulated for the show week. So be sure to use your best horse & setup every day for the most points! See Leaderboards below.

How is the score counted?
If you are still not sure how to get a better score in Dressage, take a look at the Scoring Guide.

Training
To enter the Training facility, tap the Training icon (book) in the top right corner of the main Dressage screen. Your horses are in alphabetical order by their names. Scroll through your horses to find the horse you want to train from the list. You can tap the blue Change button under the current horse's name to view a different horse.

Each Training costs  (100 - 400) and takes time (5 minutes - 4 hours). The training options will be Level Up or Learn (horses have a max of 4 different moves). Higher points Dressage Moves cost more to train and take longer. You can skip the wait time with diamonds. Your horse will appear busy while in training, and will remain busy until you visit the training facility again.

Mobile users, tap the following pictures to see the captions explaining what is happening!

Leaderboards & Rewards
Tap the Leaderboard icon in the top right corner to see the current leaderboards and rewards. The leaderboards reset every week. There are two leaderboards: Friends and World. On either leaderboard, you can tap and view the horse info for each placing.

The Friends Leaderboard shows you the current scores of any of your neighbors that have participated, and how you rank compared to them. There are no rewards for this leaderboard, but it is a quick way to see and like their competition picture. Tap on the friend's name from the list, then you can tap the blue Like button under their horse's picture and the button will say Liked. You can like each friend's picture once every day.

The World Leaderboard shows you the current top 100 scores of all players on your platform (Android and iOS are separate). Reaching a certain rank on this leaderboard will give you rewards at the end of the season. To see these rewards, tap the red gift box icon at the top left. The rewards are different amounts of Show Coins depending on where you rank on the World leaderboard.

Winner's Pack
After the Dressage show season ends, the horse and outfit set at Rank #1 on the World Leaderboard (Android and iOS are separate) is offered to all players via a Winners Pack for a limited period of time. This Dressage Show Winner pack costs diamonds (amount is determined by the rarity of the horse and tack prices). The pack includes the same breed and tier of the winning horse and outfit as shown on the last day of Dressage season.

Things to Know:
 * Tier 4: If it is a Tier 4 horse, the buyer will get a T4 horse, but can only breed more Tier 4 foals if they have the T4 certificate for that breed.
 * Skills/Moves: The purchased horse will have the BASE moves/skills of that breed/Tier (not the advanced level/moves of the winning horse). You have to train the horse from the beginning if you want to make it a Dressage champion!
 * Icon Dressage winner pack.png Look for the bronze trophy on the left side of screen (it's at the bottom of the Horse Pack options). It usually appears a few hours after Dressage Season ends. If you have trouble finding the pack, you may need to restart your game.

Questions & Answers
Q: What should I take into account when choosing my Dressage horse?

A: To get the perfect Dressage horse, there are three things you should pay attention to: the horse's rarity, what moves the horse already knows, and what moves you can teach them. A Legendary gets 280 points for the horse itself, whereas an Elite only gets 220 points, so any Legendary is capable of earning 60 points more than Elite horses. You should choose a Legendary horse that already knows two 55 base points moves, as those are the best moves the horses can have before training. At last, you should choose two 60 base point moves for the optional moves, so eg. Flying Change and Canter Pirouette.

Q: What are the maximum points?

A: 320 for the horse, 150 for customization, 30 for taking pictures. Every move a horse learns has their own maximum points, which you can check here: Dressage Moves. With two 55 base point moves and two 60 base point moves, which is the best combination any horse can have, the total maximum points for one round of dressage is 936 points if you get bonus points on all 4 moves. This does not include likes, which are unlimited, so if you get lots of likes, you can get more points than this!

Q: How can I get a better score?

A: Training your horse is the most important part of Dressage. As your horse learns higher level moves, it will start to earn additional bonus points on top of the base points. Those bonus points make a big difference in the overall score. A Legendary horse with two 55 base point moves and two 60 base point moves is capable of getting 896 points if you get bonus points on all 4 moves. However, if that same horse does not get any of the bonus points, it will only score 760. The chance to get bonus points on all 4 moves is 2.25%, so you might have to participate in the Dressage dozens of times to get them! (For a more detailed answer, take a look at the Scoring Guide)
