Equestrian center

An equestrian center is a lot assignment and rabbit hole that was introduced in The Sims 3: Pets. In this lot there are a variety of activities related to horses: Sims can buy or sell horses and services for reproduction are offered to the Sims as well (stud for males, mare impregnation for females). In the Equestrian Center, Sims can attend riding classes and start competing in equestrian competitions, which other Sims can also watch. The Equestrian Center is a rabbit hole, thus it is impossible to see inside.
There is one equestrian center lot in Appaloosa Plains. Known as JRA International Equestrian Center, it is the default equestrian center in the neighbourhood. It has a ranch to help in needs of horses. Another lot and rabbit hole variety called Petite Pony Equestrian Center exists with no functionality differences, with either of the 2 lots being added to a world by default when starting a new game in a non-Appaloosa Plains world while Pets is installed.
For horse riders, 3 competition forms are offered: Racing, Show-Jumping, and Cross-Country. Each form have 3 difficulty levels: Beginner, Advanced, and International. Competitions are held in a sports manager format where the player starts at 12th place out of 12 and have to build their way up to 1st, based on the relevant skill levels and on a choice between 3 pacing levels (Playing it Safe, Take Risks, and Going for Broke). The same format was later re-used for Plumbot competitions at the Plumbot competition arena, and for trivia contests at the Vault of Antiquity.
