Okay so I've never done sim horses so I have a few questions.
The $100,000 challenge classes, is their any requirement as to who can enter? Like the horse has to have earned $100,000 to enter?
Dressage, how do you know what level to enter your horse in? Do you start at the lowest and work your way up? And if so about when would you move your horse up in the ranks?
Jumping, how do you know what height to jump at? Would you work your way up on that too or could you start at the top if you owned a really big Warmblood or something?
Sorry about all the questions I just want to do it right and I don't really know anything about jumping or dressage.

The $100,000 challenge classes, is their any requirement as to who can enter? Like the horse has to have earned $100,000 to enter? Anyone can enter. There is $100,000 in prize money for the classes at those shows. Dressage, how do you know what level to enter your horse in? Do you start at the lowest and work your way up? And if so about when would you move your horse up in the ranks? You get to decide for yourself. A younger horse would probably start at a lower level, but if you have an older horse you could start them at whatever level you wanted. And moving up is up to you as well. If you feel like your horse is doing well enough to move up, go ahead. If the horse is placing low, maybe don't move up. It's entirely up to you. Jumping, how do you know what height to jump at? Would you work your way up on that too or could you start at the top if you owned a really big Warmblood or something? Same as dressage, it's up to you. Now, most of us like to be realisitc; you wouldn't see a Grand Prix Clydesdale or Welsh Pony. And you wouldn't see a four year old competing in grand prix either. But if you have say, a 11-year old Dutch Warmblood, you could start it in grand prix if that's the level you wanted it to jump. Now, some people may have their own training systems and give training points or something like that, but that isn't nessicary and I don't think most people keep track of anything like that. Sorry about all the questions I just want to do it right and I don't really know anything about jumping or dressage. No problem, really. Glad to help, hope I did. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

Like Hanna said anyone can enter the $100,000 challenges The $100,000 specification is only to state that that much prize money will be given
As for the dressage & jumping, what I usually do is I start my horses at the lowest level and move them up a level as they age. I use a faster paced aging schedule so my horses move up a level after about every 30 shows.
No problem about the questions If you have any more feel free to ask!
