I love this cosolidate riders option ;) It helps to safe money.
First I reassign, then I colsolidate, then I re-hire and then I go through the <5horses assigned riders and check the higher leveled riders, if I can consolidate some more to have as less riders as possible
I do not recommend a breed - just get 20 level 3+ horses, assign them to 2 riders and build up your show string. Once they start to earn you money you can start to build up a breeding line with a breed YOU like. The plus: some incoming ebs and time to make decisions which ones you like most
Ugh, still in bed. I will get my coffee though. Kind of ecstatic for several reasons but one of them being that the bleeding heart I stole out of my parents garden bed is suuuper happy
