Increase number of horses displayed in rankings from 20 to perhaps 50?

This is a reasonable idea considering the increase in horse population since the game started, but I don't really think a horse is a "top horse" if it is beyond #20. Ranking up to 50 will most likely be overwhelming and people may lose focus on the horses that actually are top. This could also end up in horses with minimal/poor competition experience landing a spot in the top horses list. If you take a look at some of the real horse organizations, most only do top 10 or 20 out of sometimes millions of registered horses.

Just a thought. :/

Valid. However, they also maintain rankings lists, which is really what I'm after. The top horses page is already coded to do it and would only require expansion. I think we could make it work both ways, drawing attention to the truly best horses and allowing players to see their horse's standing. Larissa had mentioned to me in chat that she was planning something that will serve both purposes.

Top 50 is definitely still a top horse when there are hundreds or thousands of horses running around.
