YOUR CAREER
You begin a new career as a professional rider by first creating a new player profile.
GAME CHARACTER
Once you have created a player profile, you arrive in your rider's changing room. Here, you can decide the name, appearance and gender of your rider.
THE COURTYARD
Once you have created your rider, you arrive in the inner courtyard of your horse farm. From here, you can select your horses (provided you have some horses available), enter the office or quit the game and go to the main menu.
You only have one horse available at the start of your career and you choose with which horse, and therefore with which discipline, you want embark on your career as a rider. Additional horses and disciplines will gradually be unlocked as you become more successful.
THE OFFICE
Here, you can follow your career progress, revel in your successes and trophies or change your rider's clothing.
YOUR FIRST HORSE
If you select a horse box, your horse will walk out of its stall and enter the care area of the courtyard. At the start of your career you can choose the name and appearance of your horse first and then you can begin a tutorial.

•
Stamina: Indicates how long the horse can run at a higher speed without getting tired.
•

•

•
Hunger: Indicates if your horse needs some food.
•
Thirst: Indicates if your horse needs some water to drink.

You will see the available actions for the horse in the top right corner of the screen.

TOURNAMENTS AND TRAINING
The tournaments in Riding Star correspond to the real tournament classes in equestrian sport.
•
N: Novice class (easy)
•
M: Medium class (medium hard)
•
H: Advanced class (hard)
•
P: Professional class (very hard)
Before you can take part in a tournament in a particular class, your horse must first fulfil the necessary conditions, i.e. you must train and care for your horse.
Your horse is not trained at the start of your career and belongs to class E (the lowest one). However, your first competition is one in class N. You must therefore train your horse in the training area and look after it in the care area until your horse's parameters in the relevant disciplines have increased to achieve the higher level in class N.
Each discipline relies on different parameters, as shown below:
•
Dressage: Obedience, Motivation
•
Show Jumping: Power, Speed, Stamina
•
Cross Country: Stamina, Speed, Power.
You train Power by jumping frequently with your horse. You train Speed and Stamina by riding for as long as possible at high speed. You train Motivation through intensive and repeated changes of gaits and collections. You increase Obedience through the meticulous care of your horse.
To attend to your horse's Health, you must be careful not to overwork your horse, to avoid collisions in the training area and to ensure you do not neglect the care of your horse. If your horse should become so ill that the normal care to heal it is insufficient, nurse it back to good health by a few extra portions of food and additional tender loving care.
•
Tournament: A tournament consists of 3 Grand Prix (Cross Country, Show Jumping and Dressage). To qualify for the next tournament level above, you must achieve the top 3 scores overall in all three Grand Prix and be placed among the top 3 overall.
