How to BLUP a horse:
(a little guide - true for all horses)
IN GENERAL
To become 100 BLUP a horse needs to be 10 years old, have won 20 competitions,
and be fully trained in its top three skills (by training, doing mountain and forest
rides, and entering competitions that use the top three skills).
- It is a good idea to board the horse in an equestrian center that offers shower and
water (to get the most energy out of the horse's day), and be located in either
mountains or forests (to reduce the time needed for doing rides there).
- If you are on a computer you can hover your mouse over a competition to see how
many skills are left to gain. If all skills are gained from that competition it won't say
anything other than "Duration: 2h".
COMPETITIONS
Most people find winning 20 competitions most difficult about BLUPing. For that there
is a concept called "target training" in which you carefully train or don't train certain
skills to be able to enter them in low level competitions, making wins easier. (Many
people use target training as a technique though, so it might still not be easy to win).
If you click on a competition type you will see at the top your own horse's skills for that
competition. The skill that is written at the very top is the main skill for that
competition, and you want that one to be as low as possible to be able to enter low level
competitions. The other 2 skills, you want them to be as high as possible, to make the
low level competitions easier to win.
OTHER
Black market items are NOT needed to BLUP a horse (but might be needed for a
possible grand prix winner). The BLUPing doesn't have to be done before 10 years of
age, but if it is a mare that is not immortal, doing that will make sure you have a lot of
time left to get several good foals from her, which is why many people or teams usually
try to do that. And also to use as few Aging Points as possible for the BLUPing:
60 APs - to get the horse to 10 years of age.

I hope you find this useful!

higher amout of symbols, which is why that is a good idea. And keeping them energized

chance. Usually I end up with maybe one 3 star + two 2 star cards in the beginning,
and yes: that will make it a bit trickier but it is NOT the end already.
more: what cards you can choose on the way after your wins. Sure: better cards
in the beginning are going to make it a bit easier for you, BUT they are no
guarantee. If you have the best cards in the game it still is not going to work out

level up card I usually pick boosters or another 3 star card, I usually do not bother to
pick 2 star cards at all.

and level it if I can.

to pick a new card with a higher number of green symbols, so that your horses skills
are spread evenly in all four colours.

usually good to choose energy cards when you can as there are no guarantees that
you'll get them or when, and you don't want to be left stranded if you can avoid it.

up boosters as they are going to help with the boss.

you're that close, of course, but I don't beat myself up too much about it.
