Hear me out...
Is it randomly unlocking the levels OR
Is it unlocking only after the horse does it's one competition per day, because then it's showing whats unlocked for the rider and not the horse?
No. It is randomly unlocking all the levels. I only have one horse. When I first had the issue, I only won one competition. So I should have only been able to access four beginner competitions and one intermediate. But it opened all of them up to me even though my sim did not qualify. If you read my initial post, I said exactly this already.
the skills are irrelevant because you can enter with lower skill, it’s just the recommended level, doesn’t seem to bar you.
it didn’t say anywhere in my game about the horse only being able to enter once per day. There’s literally NO text anywhere that states that. I even checked in the lessons and horse competitions were barely even mentioned. So I am unsure if that is even true what you are claiming, because it seems more like a very big bug (especially since simfluencers like lilsimsie were talking about competing more than once per day during the review video).
In the OP you said it unlocked after your first competition, and it's resetting everyday. So it would stand to reason that that's due to it showing competitions your sim can compete in and not your horse, since the horse can't compete anymore that day.
I.E. they are showing unlocked because a horse is not selected. Bet if you have a second horse. It would show which ones the new horse qualifies for and lock the rest, once the new horse is selected.
This explains why it's resetting and why it showed that you had no horse on the lot after your first competition.
Also when you first click 'enter competition', before you select one, on the right side of the pop up is where it says horses can only do one competition a day. If you look at the photo the other guy previously shared. It's the 4th sentence on the right side.
