After your horse has been successfully schooled, you can train your horse in dressage and jumping. You do this by riding lessons via the saddle icon in the menu (train page). You can train your horse every 3 minutes. The goal is to train your horse to the next star. For each star, you need a certain number of training sessions. How many training sessions your horse needs for the next star can be seen on its horse profile under ‘Train points’.
To be able to train your horse, your horse must meet the following requirements:
- The horse must be three years old
- The horse is stabled
- The horse is 100% healthy and has no injuries (= not at rest)
- The horse is fully tacked up
- The horse is schooled
- The horse has at least 20% on its hunger bar
- The horse has at least 20% on its thirst bar
- The horse is not pregnant
- The horse is on loan with the correct loan rights or not on loan
- The horse must not already be registered for a lesson
- The horse is not busy with another action (trail ride, fitness training etc)
If you go to your horse, you can see in the horse profile under train status (at the bottom) why you cannot train with a particular horse.
Number of training sessions needed per horse star
The more stars your horse has, the more training it needs for his next star. You can see an overview below:
- star 1 = 1 training session
- star 2 = 17 training sessions
- star 3 = 34 training sessions
- star 4 = 51 training sessions
- star 5 = 68 training sessions
- star 6 = 85 training sessions
- star 7 = 102 training sessions
- star 8 = 119 training sessions
- star 9 = 136 training sessions
- star 10 = 153 training sessions
- star 11 = 170 training sessions
- star 12 = 187 training sessions
- star 13 = 204 training sessions
- star 14 = 221 training sessions
- star 15 = 238 training sessions
training costs
Here you can find a clear overview of the training costs per star. Please note: 1 star stands for from star 0 to star 1, so the costs your horse incurs when it has 0 stars are listed under 1, because you are training towards star 1.

Locations
Ponyclub
If you do not have your own indoor or outdoor arena on your ranch, you can have your horse trained at a pony club. If you take lessons at a pony club, you will have to pay the costs of the lesson as well as the arena rent. This is standard 15 coins. In the indoor arena, training takes 1:40 minute, in the outdoor arena 2:00 minutes. The system always selects the indoor arena if available.
Your own ranch
You can also train your horses in your own arena. The advantage of this is that the cost of training is lower. You get a 5 coins discount on the lesson price. The lesson prices shown when you register still include the 5 coins pony club arena rental. Only when you take the lesson will the 5 coins discount be deducted. Again: In the indoor arena a lesson takes 1:40 minutes, in the outdoor arena 2:00 minutes. The system always selects the indoor arena if available.
Costs
There are 2 costs when you go for lessons, the rental of the riding arena, this money goes to the owner of the pony club, and the price for the lesson itself, this money goes to your instructor. How much the lesson costs depends on your horse's number of stars.
Basic price own arena: 10 coins. Base price pony club arena: 15 coins. Price per star up to 10th star: +5 coins per star. Price per star from 11th star: +3 coins per star.
So, training a horse with 3 stars in the outdoor arena of a pony club costs 15 + (5*3) = 30 coins.
Example 1: Horse, 7 jumping stars. 15 + 5 * 7 = 50 coins
Example 2: Horse, 15 stars dressage. 15 + 5 * 10 + 3 * 5 = 80 coins
Example 3: Horse, 20 stars dressage. 15 + 5 * 10 + 3 * 10 = 95 coins
If there is no one online who can teach your horse, you can take lessons from the computer. This is faster (the lesson is given immediately), but training always takes 3:00 minutes.
