Shoot, do they stand for Hunt & Jump? If so, why are some horses H's and some J's?

The letters and numbers, ie 2W, just stand for what level of competing theyre at. So, Second Class World is the top class of Level 2. Each class - 1 through 8 - start with Local, then Regional, National, and finally world. Each horse is unique, causing them to train, compete, and level off differently. Thats why its so important to train your horses every sunday. For example, take these two show horses:

Horse 1: Leveled off at 6W with 207pts, and a daily earning of 209hbs (you earn daily hbs from horses based on how many points they hold). Places between 10th and 6th place in shows.
Horse 2: leveled off at 8W with 320pts and a daily earnings of 503hbs, consistently in 1st place

While the second horse not only earns higher hbs from competing twice a week, it also is increasing their points and daily income, therefore is worth keeping even when it turns 17. My best earner is 20YO and I bought her when she was 16 xD
However, dont brush off the first horse just yet. While he may not be first or top of the class, he still earns some income from showing, and daily hbs. Leveled off horses do still earn points, its just one point earned over a month or two vs every week. So the small fry has a chance to improve. Also, consider he is 17YO at rollover, and he MIGHT pass at the next rollover. 30 days × 209hb daily payout = 6,270hbs!

Hope this helps :)

Ah, OK. Thanks!
