if you get the beginner obj to move up in the ranks at least 1 spot. it's really easy. people are going to go into long detail telling you all the things that will help you move up. in the beginning it ain't hard at all. just do what you normally do and you will move up usually a lot. key is you MUST log in the next day to get credit for it. you are moving up over the accounts not getting logged into

I just joined the game today! I am having a hard time navigating, but I'm sure I'll get used to it as time goes on. I am having a hard time finding things to do outside of objectives and taking care of my horses. Anyway, I just wanted to ask the community for advice for a first-time player!

this entire topic has a ton of great advice that's what it is here for. for what else to do: check out my forum for a full list of the beginner obj. you can plan ahead. like for ex there's an obj to own 7 different breeds. you can start working on getting different breeds. that kind of thing.

When picking an EC try not to break the bank on really expensive ECs. Just cause they cost a lot doesn't mean there isn't something better for cheaper.
A few things to consider:
1. your starter horses honestly don't need the top lessons and tack. it's not going to make a huge difference.
2. your foals don't need to be in a box that costs a lot and offers everything. they need the basics.
3. if you want to get the tack. those tend to be more expensive. only board for one day.
4. you can filter what you are looking for then rearrange by price. pick the cheapest.
5. don't board for long periods when you are really low on money. do the minimum

You can buy horses with the companions or coats you want for a collection. Just be sure that duplicates. If they do you can sell one, same thing with the twin horses if you have any.
