Okay thanks

What exactly are you referring to by "level?"

Players can have a free account, an account with a Basic Upgrade, or an Account with a Premium Upgrade. Each upgrade adds its own collection of features.

For every 200 horses you breed or create, you will get an extra stall in your primary barn. There used to be levels associated with this, but I believe Ammit has said that this is no longer part of the game.

Horses work their way up through a variety of showing levels as they are trained.

Here's a description of the showing levels.

There are eight showing levels. Each of them involves an increasingly higher skill development for both horse and rider. As a horse is trained a certain amount is added to it's show score. This increased score reflects an increasing ability in jumping. Every level has 4 grades--Local, Regional, National, World. In real-life, the best horses from larger and larger areas would be competing in the various grades, expanding from a small local region up to shows that have horses from many countries competing.

Level 1-Inhand. Horses shown on a lead line, not yet being ridden.
Level 2--Green Under Saddle. Horses shown on the flat at a walk, trot, and canter.
Level 3--Green Over Fences. Horses shown over fairly low jumps in a fairly simple layout.
Level 4--Training. Horses are being trained to clear more complex jumps and patterns.
Level 5--C Level. Higher and/or wider jumps and more complex courses.
Level 6--B Level. Again, higher/wider jumps and more complex courses.
Level 7--A Level. Once again the difficulty and complexity of the course increases.
Level 8--Grand Prix. The hardest courses of all.

Levels indicate the stage of training a horse has reached--shown at halter, able to be ridden at walk trot and canter, starting to jump, then increasing skill at jumping.

Grades indicate the quality of the competition at those training abilities. Local shows cover a relatively small region. Regional shows gather the best from the local shows over a larger area. National shows gather the best horses from a whole country. World shows will have competitors from many countries.

Every level has shows in all 4 grades.

So a horse a Level 4 World, would be competing against horses that have achieved more than beginning jumping skills from more than one country.
