SKILLING -
Start with the highest GP/inborn skills foal you can buy or breed with Aphrodite tears 
Put the foal into the best EC possible (40 skill bonus and 60 mission earnings)
Do foal games as much as possible to earn the full 60% skill gain (https://thebookofhowrse.weebly.com/uploads/1/9/9/6/19962941/165798755.png 
(link to foal games correct process)
Use any bonuses possible to increase skills (castrate males for extra skills if non-breeding)
At 2 years old, put Water of Youth onto the horse
Do lessons daily without missing! Horse health and morale should always stay high
Daily rides in both forest and mountain
Train the horse fully including the competitions until you receive no more gains
Once the horse turns 25, use pieces of cloud (20 max), preferably a Pegasus / VIP account
Age the horse to 25 again, doing daily lessons without missing one for the best skill set as this is the max age before lessons become unavailable (horse becomes too old).

BLUPPING - 
Following on from the skilling section, ensure the horse is fully trained in at least its top 3 skill sets (an arrow will show which are the top 3)
The horse must place 1st in 20 competitions, it doesn't matter which race it competes in
The horse must be over 10 years old to have a +100 BLUP.

WINNING TIPS -
Tick the "show competitions for beginners only" making it easier in the chance to win
Try and use the horses best skill set but don't limit the horse
Use the one with the lowest difficulty %, or highest prestige, or most kitty.

SKILLERS AND UNICORNS - 
I am currently breeding Unicorns and collecting all the breeds coats for the collections page. Any coats that are duplicates I usually sell for a very low equus price, so keep visiting my page for sales. They are usually negotiable too.
On the other hand, if you are selling unicorns I will be happy to buy (preferably lower type unis as I collect them mainly for fun rather than rankings).

INTERACTABLE DIVINES - 
If you name one of your horses "Junior Croesus" you have a chance of winning the Croesus Divine on the 13th of every month. 
One Cascade Divine is also awarded to a player. If you are lucky, on the first of each month, Cascade will be offered to you if you have logged in for at least 20 days over the previous month.
