Getting Started in HEE
There's quite a few of us who are thriving stables now who had issues getting started in HEE (Horse Eden Eventing) and newer members having the same issue.
.
You start off with a barn of 25, 2 starter horses (1 stallion, 1 mare), and 500000 currency. Option: Breed the mare to that stallion, geld stallion and colt (if colt). If it's a filly, you can wait a month to free reign (FR) it to get 1000, the mare you already get 1000 for it. With the 510000, or 520000 if you join right before the month ends and free reign that filly, you can follow #1.
.
#1 - Get Geldings. Lots.
Geldings help you get ebs quicker, which is the currency. You can check out one of these two forums about showing guides xx - xx. I'd recommend buying level 2+ geldings and follow their guides. This is your main goal to success on here. Ebs gets you art (stable sets, horse avatars, etc.) to jazz up a horse or get better horses, palettes, svens, medallions, and more. .
#2 - What Breed Should I Do?
There are 9 different breeds in HEE; Warmblood (WB), Thoroughbred (TB), Appendix Quarter Horse (X), Registered Irish Draught (RID), Knabbstruppers (KNN), Anglo Arabian (AA), Irish Sport Horse (ISH), Sport Horse (SH), and Sport Pony (PON). If you want an easier breed, go for WB, ISH, and X. In the middle of easy and hard would be AA, TB, and SH. The hardest, and the breeds that are struggling the most is PON, KNN, and RID. To start off your stable, go for one of the easier ones. Overtime, go for a harder one for a challenge.
.
#3 - I want to capture horses!
No. Capturing horses is the ebs drain. Unless you have overload of ebs that you don't use, then go for it. Starting out, it's the worst idea. Even bigger stables have issues getting a good horse from capturing. Capture maps (Sherpa Map, etc.) won't always guarantee you a good horse, either.
.
#4 - What are the Leaderboards?
The leaderboards are well, leaderboards of studs or mares when breeding. Leaderboards are also known as LB, ABLB (All Breed Leaderboard), and so on. Freshmen LBs don't matter much, as really any stud would get on there. The main factors is the ABLB and ELB (Eventing Leaderboard).
.
#5 - What is Trivia Team and who are the Moderators?
Trivia team is a Sunday weekly trivia day/night where you can get prize ebs and other donations like straws from the #10 ABLB stud or even broods and horses! Trivia team is split up into two groups, afternoon and evening. Every other week one of them hosts the Trivia that day. Afternoon trivia hosts the 1pm GT (Game Time) trivia and Evening trivia hosts the 9pm GT trivia. More information about Trivia is going to be here. The moderators are; Jericho Stables, Abstract Dunes, Kuewi KNN Stable, Coldwater Meadows, All Breeds, Stormsong Manor, Corazon, Armistice Acres, Morning Glory Farms, Moonrose Mountains, and McSmith Ranch. More information about what Trivia Team and Moderators do is here. A lot of us don't read the game guide but the forums a lot.
.
#6 - I'm lost and don't know what to do!
If you don't know what to do, and not on here, then you'd go to Adopt a Newbie. There, more experienced players help out newer players with the game, as if it's from knowing about the game to getting horses in the Leaderboards. There are also other places, like the Member Help forums that help you out and answered, like Adopt A Newbie. What's He Worth is also a forum to help you out of what you should sell your horse at, breeding, and other things. .
#7 - Barn Manager, Pay Riders At Once
These are premium features only. Barn manager is assigning your horses to get shown automatically without you going through one by one. The barn manager only holds up to 200 horses at once, the rest you'll have to do yourself. What she does is with a horse you decide on what to assign to her, she'll show them on whatever day and disclipline you want her to. Ex: I assign an EPP Gelding to her. I ask her to show the gelding Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Monday will be Dressage, Wednesday will be Cross Country, Friday will be Dressage. She will do it, unless you have a setting on that only shows competitive horses only. That setting guarantees you better chance of earning more ebs. Paying riders all at once is really what it is. You don't have to go through every rider and pay them manually.
.
#8 - What is tracking?
Tracking is keeping note on a horse's training. You can see what week they're on by their training sessions. Horses usually start showing differences on week 4, sometimes week 3 but it's rare. Let's say the horse has 4 bars on week 4. You'd put it down in their remarks by saying: Week 4: 222211. All horses, unless they're wild, have 1 bars and they all have 6 bars in total. Anything on a week 3 is good. 0/6-1/6 on a week 4 is bad. 2/6 is still pretty bad, but not the worst. 3/6 is in the middle. 4/6-6/6 is very good! Week 5 should be all up, if not it's a bit bad. Week 7 or 8 they should go up again. If they had the same week 4, that's still good. If they had less than the week 4, that's bad. If they had more than the week 4, that's pretty good! Training their tracking is to see their strengths and weaknesses. You can stop training whenever, but don't start tracking their training when they've already had quite a few (10+). The most people who stop training is week 14-20.

#9 - AD, B, C and SD
AD is All Discipline, SD is Strict Discipline, C is Color, and B is Bravery. These tend to be popular in breeding horses. AD is mainly just breeding for ratings, as in EEE (Elite-Elite-Elite). SD is breeding for a specific discipline, like Dressage. A SD Dressage horse's rating would be something like WSX (WorldClass-Superb-SubPar). Bravery breeding is breeding for the best type of bravery, World Class. Color breeding is breeding the best color, 1/1. You can mix some together, like AD, B, and C. For example, I have a EEE-WC KNN who is 1/17, meaning the KNN is Elite/Elite/Elite-WorldClass Bravery and 1/17 color rarity. This is personal preference!
.
#10 - Abbreviations
Most word abbreviations are a no-no, as some people don't know what they mean or speak a different language, like myself. The allowed abbrevations are said here. It is outdated, but some members decided to be nice and more recent pages they have more allowed abbreviations, like WC (World Class). .
#11 - Ratings
Sub-Par (X) is the lowest rating you can get, this tends to be for bravery or color rating horses, sometimes in the mix of SD ratings. Average (A) is right above Sub-Par, same as Sub-Par, sometimes in the mix of SD ratings. Superb (S) is right above Average, this tends to be in both places for bravery and color rating and SD ratings. Premium (P) is above Superb, okay for AD, B and SD ratings. Elite (E) is above Premium, this is pretty good for AD, B and SD ratings. World Class (WC) is above Elite, which is the highest rating. This is the best for AD, B, and SD!
.
#12 - Svens, Medallions, Glass
Svens cost 1000000 store credits, or 1000000 (1mil) ebs. These boost a foal's stats by 2. Medallions go by disclipline and they cost 330000 (330k) store credits/ebs. Cross Country Medallions help you with a weak hrt, str, or spd match. Dressage and Jumping are the same but with their own traits. Glasses are really the cheap way of these two but only go by one specific trait. They usually range from 35k-100k.
Red glass: heart
Orange glass: speed
Yellow glass: strength
Green glass: intelligence
Blue glass: movement
Purple glass: scope
There are 6 traits; movement (mv), intelligence (int), heart (hrt), scope (scp), speed (spd), and strength (str). Dressage horses are strong in int, mv, and str. Cross Country horses are strong in hrt, str, and spd. Show Jumping horses are strong in hrt, scp, spd.
.
#13 - Breeding: Height and Genetics
Height and genetics plays a factor in breeding, especially for some breeds. PON can only be 14.2hh or under. SH or ISH if it's over 14.2hh. KNNs can only be counted as KNNs by genetics. They must have Lplp and/or in some cases for colts, Lplp and PATN-1patn-2 or PATN-2patn-2.
