Pro Show Jumping

This is not point-and-shoot riding. Your horse will not clear a fence just because you steered at it: you need the right speed, the right balance and the right take-off spot, and each jump's cleanliness depends on all of it. The mechanics come from real riders, covering stride length, balance, take-off distances and trajectory planning. Your riding aids matter, but so does the horse under you: ten top-level horses, each with its own temperament and way of going. One may suit a tight, twisty course, another the big open lines. Learning who goes best where is half the game. There is no grooming or stable chores here, just the sport itself, and the tutorials explain the controls well before you face a real course.

The course list runs from Intermediate classes to Olympic level, with 88 courses laid out by well-known FEI course designers. You can ride fifteen championships, build a string of horses through Career Mode, or test your nerve in the Puissance, where the fence only goes up. The rounds reward patience: a clean round comes from riding the line you planned, not the fastest line you see. Skilled riders can shave time the way they would in a real jump-off, cutting a stride or taking a fence at an angle, but the risk is all yours. First person puts you in the saddle; third person shows you the whole course. Both are there, so pick the view that helps you see a stride.
