My Ideas

[Enchanted Extras]

I think they need to improve the horse body shape as a lot of breeds aren’t very accurate and look sort of blocky. I saw a full Arabian that looked the same as my full gypsy vanner minus the feathers at the feet. I also think they should add more tack in different colors, and for other activities. They should add Roman riding, obstacle course, liberty, and all the different kinds of endurance too. I think the fatigue should be based off the competitions they do instead of just being there and useless. Also maybe put something in for people to make their own breeds and add something for them to make a breeders tag and brand.

The Arabian, that looks like your Gypsy Vanner, may be different body build than your typical Arabian. Some players have the ability to "mutate" horse breeds with light horse type built Belgians and extremely short Thoroughbreds. There are different body builds that you can breed your horse to have, several types of horse type and several types of pony type. I don't know where you find it but I did see that there were images of horses with different shapes, sort of anyways.


More types of tack have also been suggested and might have more in the future.


I've heard some players suggest to be able to say how long some races are, like in miles.


I don't know if the fatigue based off of competitions has been suggested but I honestly don't mind not having it in a way.


The brand is something that has been suggested but as to whether that will be added in the future or not, who knows other than the admins.

Well I think they should actually do some of the stuff they’ve said they will do since the games been around for years and almost nothing has changed. Also they body should still be more accurate regardless of the mutations.

The point of the game is to breed the horses until they look like how you think the horses should look. Selectively breed horses that have the body shapes you want until your line of horses look the way you want.

the devolpers have been working trying t make more tack they have lives out of the game and they can be busy.

The way horses looks you work to get the body shape and size

Also it may take them a while to add everything in, for example the vet stuff, that can take a long time to figure out the logistics as well as getting the coding to work without many problems.

As said multiple times, you have the ability to breed the horses' bodies to make them look more accurate. I've been breeding purebred Arabians, for example, to make them look more like realistic Arabians. I've currently got a good few that look very realistic.

Here are just a few of my realistic looking Arabians

Until the admins add new things, we just have to learn to deal with what we have and imagine what they could be adding.

(Using dogs because they show a lot more variety but the same principle applies to horses. Excuse the poor dogs that have been mutilated for fashion - it's depressingly difficult to find photos without ear cropping or tail docking.)

This is an image of the 'original' bull terrier breed vs what they are like today.



How have they changed so drastically? A small thing called selective breeding.

This game is likely the most accurate genetic game you'll find. The game would be unrealistic and not genetically accurate if the horse body type were determined by that arbitrary word written next to 'breed' on the horse's page instead of the characteristics its inherited from its parents.

This is a purebred Great Dane - the 2018 winner at Crufts for the best of breed, actually:



Purebred Great Dane - a terrible breed example. Still the same closed gene-pool as the Crufts winner.



Purebred Great Dane - still the same gene pool.

European vs US Great Dane - same breed, same ancestors.



This is the Crufts 2018 best of breed Neapolitan Mastiff:



This is a working Neapolitan Mastiff (which, lets be honest, is a much better dog than that other Neapolitan - this one looks like it can actually walk!):

Excellent examples of how selective breeding changes looks and even over so little generations!

A personal favourite that I've learnt about recently is this one species of moth in England (I say favourite but I can't even remember the name ) They were a species of moth that, pre-industrial revolution, were almost all white as they would camouflage themselves on pale coloured trees - the black (melanistic - a mutation that causes over-pigmentation) moths were an occasional mutation that cropped up but they were quickly eaten by birds.

During/after the industrial revolution, the increase in pollutants made the trees' bark darker. Now, white moths were easily spotted by birds and the black moths were able to camouflage! Within a few short years, the majority of the moth population turned black and the white moths became rare. If I remember right, these moths actually helped substantiate Darwin's theory of evolution - he didn't use them in his books but scientists used these moths as 'before your eyes' evidence.

Then there's also this mouse species that I think either lives in the US or Mexico. There's a place with pale ground (I can't remember if it was yellow-ish grass, sand or rocks) and then (if I remember correctly) there was some sort of natural disturbance (I think a volcano) and then part of that area turned into very dark grey/black rock. The mice were originally pale of colour and the one's that live in the pale area still are. The mice population that started to live in the dark, rocky area eventually evolved into a separate subspecies with a dark coat on top but still with a pale belly.

Yes! Evolution is quite easy to follow, if one knows where to look. We had a thing with the moths over here (maybe they were butterflies for us though?). Anyway, ours were originally darker but became paler when there were suddenly more white and lighter-barked trees in their native areas.
Also, in the Grand Canyon region, there was this... I think it was a regular gray squirrel, it started out like the average, run of the mill, gray squirrel anyway, if memory serves. As the years passed and the people watching over the Grand Canyon refuge, they began to notice a substantial shift in the colors of the squirrels. They also noticed that the populations were separated by the canyon itself, such that the northern side population and the southern side population didn't or very rarely crossed the canyon itself. So know we have a sub-population of red-phase squirrels on one side of the canyon and just a stone's throw away, a sub-population of black-phase squirrels on the other.

I have to say that the people that don't believe evolution exists today are being thick and are choosing to remain deaf, dumb and blind to the evidence. Regardless of what's happened in the past, evolution exists right now and in form. But, they're free to do so; just keep such nonsense away from me.
