Traits add a new layer of depth and strategy to Rival Stars Horse Racing. They can improve performance, offer energy savings, or provide breeding advantages. Traits can also affect performance in Flat Racing, Cross Country, and Steeplechase, as well as how your horse behaves outside of races. Each breed of horse will have access to a different range of possible traits, reflecting real-life breed specializations and allowing their unique advantages to shine. Some Traits can stack with others, while some perform an on/off effect, only issuing the bonus once per race. Below is what you can expect to see in-game:
