the travel thing is nice after the race, however I wont use it because the nearest farm may be 200 and it would be stupid to send the horse there when you can send it at the same cost to a farm with a 20 dollar fee.. Also, if the gallops are retired and the value of a horse is to be seen through workouts.. one small change which could require too much programming but it would make all the difference, and this is only because workout times are still tied to equipment.. there should be a simple toggle button that you can hit when you work out the horses to workout the horse AS IF the eq was set, even though it wasnt, this would give as true a reading as possible to the potential of the horse, and more importantly it puts all the horses at an even playing field to decide what your own cutoff points may be on workout times worthy to keep or not.. As it stands now, horses who dont need any equipment would have a workout time advantage over horses who would need one or 2 pieces.. And since I am not about to equip every horse just to find out how they stack up, without this change or something else to even that playing field, I wont be bothering.

I am about to call the cops on Mary Weather for telling me 439 times what a bunch of natural speed my yearling has before she tells me anything about its heart stat.

Could we please make the SIM Museum a bit easier to sort through? Right now, especially on race pages (e.g. Steward's Cup), you have to scroll way down to find the race you want to look at and it seems the page is sorted in alphabetical order which makes it super difficult to look for the race you want. My suggestion would be at minimum a drop down menu with all the races, so that you could look for the one race you want to see.

My best yearling still hasn't given me a heart stat but Mary continues to assure me that she's tough as nails. Okay physically, got it, but I'd like to know what the mental toughness is too, please. Training her with the pony tomorrow and then will gallop her again and maybe her behavior with the pony will trigger the heart comment? :lol: :lol:

I was getting ready to create a small auction to downsize some of my breeding herd, and I had an interesting thought.

What if there was a way so that if the horses being placed in an auction you could check a box that says,"Automatic AJ if No Sale" or something like that, and then once the sale commences any horse that has been check marked instead of going back into your barn, goes to AJ automatically? Obviously, this would be for owner's eyes only, but it would be a nice small feature. I don't get on everyday and having that would be a nice piece of mind.

Just a thought. :)

Would it be possible to add a checkbox to insure a foal as they are being bred?

So I love the "Training Chart" in our training barn but I have a suggestion to make it even better.

Currently, if a horse is working out on a specific day the only text we see is "workout."

Is there a way we can make it actually say what the workout is? For example, "3f. Dirt B,Hb"
