Once you have created the competition, the set running date will be in 3 real world days from when you created it.

Your horses can earn points to then go up to the next level of a discipline. Your horse earns points if it scores in the top 5 and the higher your horse places, the more points your horse will earn.
Most competitions will only allow 1 horse entered in a competition per 1 account (like racing, harness racing, etc.). There are some (like Dressage, Western Pleasure, etc.) that will allow you to enter multiple horses into the same competition per 1 account.
You may only enter up to 2 horses in 1 competition and no more for the competitions that only allows 1 horse per 1 account, this is an official game rule.
