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
Sometimes riders level up before the horses assigned to them, so the rider doesn't get reassigned new horses until it is his/her "turn" in the rotation. Some of your level 2 riders might still have level 1 horses under them.
