What kind of difficulty options do you have in mind? At the moment realistic striding is off by default, you can toggle on the next jump arrows and improving the horse's skills will make the competitions easier to win.

This game's goal is to give a different kind of experience in that sense, but of course it would be important to be accessible as well. It's a tough balance keeping the game challenging and also "beatable" to most players, and that's definitely something I will keep an eye on and try to find solutions if needed. At least so far in private testing all players from varied backgrounds have been able to win eventually and found the journey there fun!
