*Adding on to previous review/comment*
I got cut off from my other review/comment since I typed so much lol! But anyway, I have just a couple more things!
-Whips/crops for slower horses or for horses who are bad and need to be disciplined, if you guys do the whole personality thing I mentioned in the previous review!
-Be able to customize your actual avatars/riders. So like, along with being able to change their clothes and having more styles and options, maybe be able to possibly change their height and stature and facial expressions and features and all that! And, maybe even have experience levels!
-Have your own boarding facility or riding school or whatever you want to call it. (You would be able to customize the size and style of the barn) So, you could somehow make an option button somewhere in the game to either have your own facility that people board their horses at and maybe even pay board to you, and can ride their horses on your property in your arenas, and you have like your own barn name and barn colors and you as the owner can help train other peoples horses if they want. I think giving people actual riding lessons would be quite hard because idk how you could manage you as the trainer telling the person riding what to do, especially in real time since both the trainer and the rider (or multiple riders if its a group lesson) online at the same time. But if you could manage that it would probably be one of the best things ever!! And then the other option could be that you could go and board your horses at someones barn and ride and train there, just like real life! And you know, regardless of if you own your own facility or go and board and ride at someone elses barn, you could chat to all the people who go there and make like a "barn family" like real life!! OMG Im freaking out! That would be so cool!
-Make the horses get hurt, but not that easily obviously. So like, if your horse is out in the field, they could maybe pull a tendon or pull something if they take a jump the wrong way. Obviously, we dont want it to happen very easy and often, but we want it to happen in general since it does in real life. Oh and you would have to nurse them back to health.
-Make a better paddock system. So, make actual paddocks that are spread out all throughout the property, and make more of them instead of just two big ones that dont even have fencing on all four sides and dont have gates.
-Make big shows with actual classes in them. So, every show, whether its made by you guys or by players (which btw I think you guys should make more shows), there will be classes in them, whether its Grand Prix level courses, cross rail classes, pony jumpers that are like 1.20m-1.40m etc., And you can enter all the classes you want. (If you refer to my previous review, thats where the horse ranking comes in. Its to determine what classes to Enter) And, if you do the whole barn thing I just mentioned above, you would show under your barn name with your barn colors and show with the people who go to your barn, just like real life!
-Be able to wash your horse and feed them etc. So, have actual feed and in different kinds and brands, and each horse has a different size serving and different brand, according to what their owner wants them to have, and that would go on a chart. (Each horse that goes to your barn or your horses that you board as well as all the others that go to that barn should have charts on their stalls or whatever that shows what feed they get and what paddock they go to and their temperment etc, and the owner should manually put it in for
their horse, just like real life!!! And again, just like real life (yes I say that a lot lol), horses should have assigned paddocks they always go to everyday, whether they get turned out at night or during the day, depending on the whether. And yes, there should be whether too. Actual seasons would be awesome! And there should be blankets
-Better navigation system. So, the view would be through your avatar and you would have controls to actually walk anywhere and everywhere around the whole facility (paddocks, barn(s), arenas), and be able to turn in/out your horse and walk back to the stall/paddock, be able to get your tack and groom or wash or tack up (yes, actually tacking up your horse should be a thing, as well as washing and properly grooming it etc) your horse in like a wash rack, after leading your horse in there from its stall or paddock or wherever you got it. You should be able to ride your horse to the arena to ride. So, think of the whole concept as how minecrafts viewing is. So, like role playing. Literally like you are in the game. I cant really explain it that well but hopefully you know what I mean! So, yes, this is a pretty big change, because you would be completely changing how the player Is playing and experiencing the game, but it would be SO much more realistic and AMAZING if you did this!
-Have tack assigned to every horse. So, there would be numerous bridles, saddles, boots, bonnets, martingales, saddle pads, etc, with all kinds of different styles, and you could select the bridle, saddle, boot or whatever tack item it is, and type in the horses name, and you would do that for all the tack items for all the horses, and so every time you go to ride, the tack that was selected for that horse automatically goes onto that horse everytime! (Oh and you would be able to customize the color and style of all the tack for that horse)
-Thank you guys so much for reading all of my ideas! Im not trying to make you feel bad I swear! This game is so amazing as it is, but there are things that could be added to make it even better! If you guys added all or some of these things exactly how I said or however you want to do them, this would seriously be my absolute favorite horse game ever! (It already is) It would be the best horse game ever on the App Store! This game has so much potential and I cant wait to see what you make of it! Thank you so much again!
