Enable auto-jump in accessibility settings if timing your takeoff is the part of jumping you struggle with. The developer recommends the option for players who have trouble with jumping. On your next practice ride, focus on your pace and your horse's remaining strength.
Enable auto-jump
Look for the auto-jump option in the game's accessibility settings and turn it on. Try a course you know so you can compare the assisted ride with your usual approach.
Pay attention to pace
Community reports say pace still matters with auto-jump. Watch how the horse approaches a fence and adjust the gait for the obstacle. Practice on one familiar jump to separate approach problems from takeoff timing.
Adjust competition difficulty separately
If the whole event feels too demanding, try a different competition difficulty setting. The developer's official FAQ discusses competition difficulty and auto-jump as separate options.
FAQ
Where do I enable auto-jump?
Look under accessibility settings.
Can I ignore speed once it is enabled?
Keep managing your pace. Player reports say it still affects the approach.
Is auto-jump the same as easier competitions?
They are separate settings. Auto-jump helps with takeoff timing, while the developer also offers competition difficulty adjustments.
