Post Horses falling
Hi

I’ve had a run lately on my S06 game, now into season 8, where so many of my horses seem to fall, way more than previously
I ride a lot myself and whenever I see the red or blue up/down arrows I pretty much resign myself to a fall, despite doing the right counter control motion
One of my best chasers has now fell five times out of last 6 races despite barely falling in previous 3 years chasing career

Maybe it’s just coincidence but what does contribute to falls? I presume the horses jump bar in its stats is the key factor? do they jump worse with age? When riding are they most likely to fall if in the horse is in the red say rather than the white, say I’ve got the horse running in its non preferred position? Guess that’s one for the developers but it does seem lately if I hit the front too early I seem to fall more than ever before

Be really interested to hear people’s feedback

Thanks in advance

I do not ride my horses so my perspective maybe different.

In general the older they get the better they jump, bars don’t mean much, but training helps I believe. Could be bad luck or it could be his luck has finally run out and he is not actually a chaser after all, but a flat horse who is now well over the hill.

Thanks for the reply, anybody have any other theories? Especially to do with the red bar when riding the horse, is it likely to increase the chances of a fall?

Cheers
