- Brave: A brave horse has a higher chance of succeeding at barrels because they aren’t scared of anything!

Don’t feel like practicing barrels for hours and hours? Well, you have the option to cheat this skill instead. To do this you’ll first need to find your horses’s sim ID and once you do that you’ll be able to use the agility skill cheat which is:
- stats.set_skill_level Horse_Agility X [SimID]
You’ll want to change the X to whatever level of the skill you want your horse to have and put the sim ID the game gave you after that!
