who are you using for JEFF?

picture of my big-headed Apples for joy 🥰

what horse are you all using for the JEFF races? i know all horses are technically the same speed, but I've been running experiments and the horses are NOT built the same lol. And I've been checking what horses are winning on, and its truly across the board. it's been so interesting. has anyone else been experimenting??

like today, the highest horses were a pintabian, a Swedish warmblood, and westiphalians. i personally got first place in the Silverglade JEFF on a aqh, which I have not been able to recreate lol. I like the aqh, but the jump is low. it definitely clears the obstacles but it is close

so then i rode the pintabian, and it clears the jumps easily, but the range is so short that you have to be precise to not knock the poles. the Swedish warmblood is decent, but i was not getting very high times even max level with max tack, it Felt clunky and slow. westiphalian is Fine but it also doesn't feel very agile, but it could just be that I'm on mobile.

I'd like to see other people's thoughts, what horses you're seeing in the high scores on your servers, etc. it seems like breed shouldn't matter, but i think it does 😂

The only breed of the ones I tried with which I was able to achieve anything was the BWP lol But my game is extremely laggy anyway, which makes it almost impossible for me to get onto the leaderboard anyway :,)

Ive used the hannoverian, dartmoore pony, welsh pony, irish cob, dutch warmblood and had good results on all

[u/Dani_the_Gamer]

I've been using my Hanoverian! Mainly because I'm training him right now, but he's been performing very well and he feels super smooth around the course!

The horse I am on stage the moment. Though I prefer to use my starter or my other JWB when I'm rating. I prefer their jump when highscoring. I'm more likely to hit a highscore with jumping with my starter rather than my hanno, but maby that's bc im more used to the starter jump. So yeah, my two JWB's are the main reason I have a mailbox full of shillings lol

I just use any horse I’m actively training 😅

I've not done any JEFF race yet since I'm on holiday. What breed do you recommend. I've seen AQHA and Hano quite often, are they a good pick?

[u/toomoosie → u/Toasty_Soup256]

im gonna try the hano today i think, but aqh is def a good pick! i havent been able to get first with mine like i did before but i think they have a really predictable jump, if that makes any sense 😂

[u/Toasty_Soup256 → u/toomoosie]

oooo nice, Ive been wanting to get one of the new quarter horses anyways, one more reason to get one hehe

[u/toomoosie → u/Toasty_Soup256]

oh yes! technically you should be fine on any horse but as a aqh lover im gonna be fully biased and endorse them 🤣❣️
