I love the rider's store event, but I wish there was a way to trade pieces of clothing. About halfway through the game, I seemed to stop getting any dressage pieces, and I didn't have the items needed to make the clothing. It would be really nice if there was a way to exchange the clothing that we had a lot of for clothing we needed.

Unfortunately, I ended up using a lot more BMI’s to make tack than I did actually getting things back from the store. In hindsight I should have just put other items on the riders but I was trying to make the most coins possible until I realized it’s not that easy to build the coins up. :/
Prizes to chose from were not what I typically like to see (not enough regularly available items and too many one off customization type items). It may be because of my play style, but I prefer to win more items I will use for progression in the game (Achilles, pstones, kairos dials etc) and golden apple type customization.
I also don’t love waiting as long as I have to just to place an item on a rider and collect coins. I prefer the more interactive games as it brings me back more often and keeps me on the game longer. This is definitely a personal preference but still.
For playing semi consistently, I ended up making it to level 7 but didn’t come at all close to the final item you get after 100 riders (can’t remember the name right now). I didn’t expect to but I also didn’t think I would be THAT FAR behind.
Overall I think the riders store events are just okay. The prize pool of this round definitely brought it down lower on my list though.
