Here is a link to a journal with a fun image-based training system.
If you want a linear based challenge, give this a whirl!

Basic Training Titles List: If you would like to see more training titles added to this please feel free to create your own in the same format I've created here. I'll add it when I have time.
Rules: 
Your horse does NOT need to be registered with this club or exist in the club's gallery to use this system.
All breeds are welcome, real and dA breeds.
Horse must be at least 3 years old to begin training.
Drawings may be done in any medium. Sketches are allowed. Tracing is allowed (just be sure to credit the stock artist). Premade linearts are not allowed.
All drawings must be new.
A horse may be trained in as many disciplines as you are able to draw.
If a horse has already competed in a number of events in it's chosen discipline you may skip the amount of drawings required for training. For example, if your horse has competed in 2 dressage events you may skip the first 2 training images and start on the Intermediate images.
You may draw all required images for one discipline in one big Specialised Training Titles List: If you would like to see more training titles added to this please feel free to create your own in the same format I've created here. I'll add it when I have time.

Disclaimer: This system can work in tandem with the Training Titles but neither are mutually exclusive. If you want to use this system but not do the Training Titles, that's cool. If you wanna do Training Titles but not use this system, that's also cool. If you wanna use both, that's groovy~
In this system a horse has six basic stats:
Speed
Intelligence
Endurance
Strength
Temperament
Agility
For each training image you draw +1 point is added to the most applicable stat.
When you complete a discipline in the Training Titles guide it's +3 points to each applicable stat.
If you compete in a show it's +3 points for each applicable stat.
In addition to competing if you place 3rd in said competition it's +1 point, placing 2nd is +2 points, placing 1st is +3 points, and Judge's Choice or Grand Champion is +4 points to each applicable stat.
There is no limit to how many point
