HorseLand - Various

I dont want everyone to be here reading for 20 minutes, so Ill make it short and to-the-point. Please could you consider and revise the following subjects to try and make Horseland a better game.

Firstly Id like to point out about the shows. I personally dont think that enough points are being distributed to satisfy the amount of entries there are in classes today. I think that for 1st class, the horse that gets the place should receive 100 points, and count down from there; otherwise our time training the horses is completely wasted. I, for one, am fed up of entering in 2,000 classes or more and receiving less than 10,000 points. I know this is not everyones view, and that Horseland was originally created to have fun and learn about horses and meeting people but its fun to have some competition, isnt it?

Secondly, I dont think horses last long enough on Horseland to keep us interested. It would also be easier from a trainers point of view to be able to train before they reach the retiring age, and would create much more competition. Though, if the above section does pull through then maybe the week will suffice.

Another point Id like to make is retired horses. I think that when a horse reaches 25 it should be deleted from the game, whether its a legend or not. There are far too many retired horses on Horseland and its flooding the game and slowing everything down.

The same goes for over-bred horses. I think a lot of us can and will vote for this one 25,000 foals to a stallion? It creates hatred between players because, although it creates the ability for newer players to get cheap, high-pointed horses, when they try and sell them they dont get anything for them and they wonder why, and then theres sometimes arguments over the foals lines. Also, its flooding the game and its hard to find a high-pointed horse in the search without coming across X number of foals with 5,000 points, all from the same sire.

My last point is breed. 3 year old store horses have a week before their breed is fixed, but if someone has a 3 year old store Arabian and breeds it to another Arabian, then changes the breed, it ruins the lines of the foal, and in real life you cant change the breed of a horse. I think breeding shouldnt happen until the breed is fixed. The same goes for foals, if possible, theyre breeds should be fixed at birth.

Ive tried to keep it short and choppy and well, look at it. These are my opinions on these subjects and Im sure that there are other people out there that share the same views.
