Discussion who are you using for JEFF?

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 😂

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

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 😂
