      Deco of a rodeo clown on a barrel.....          
    I hate clowns.  They are too freaky for me. :cold_sweat:
     
    If you find rodeo clowns to be creepy, then you've probably haven't been to many rodeos. Rodeo clowns are a breed apart from your average circus clown. They are much beloved and respected by the cowboys whose safety is in their hands. Rodeo clowns risk their lives to help bullriders when things go terribly wrong.
    I suggested a rodeo clown as a deco because it would pay a fitting tribute to these heroic men. :)

      I hope that after veiwing this video that you will better understand what I mean............

    You make a very valid point@"farmerjohn 22 (US1)" between a clown at a circus and a rodeo clown two entirely different things

    OK, I do know of rodeo clowns :)  And they aren't scary like "regular" clowns.  But, I still don't like regular clowns.  I think it's awesome these men and women put their lives on the line to help a bull rider when they run into trouble. I wouldn't want to entice a bull into chasing me LOL

     Your idea for the deco is great!  As long as it stays a rodeo clown :)

    I'd like a medieval theme:
    Profile pictures in the form of different family crests, 
    Titles as royal and noble titles and knights
    Final dec as a medieval warhorse (black preferably)
    Trophy as a huge sword (+/- shield)


    Sorry i couldn't get it to quote 
    I LOVE this idea! 
  • ok clowns of all types freak me out....that being said a circus theme with a big top deco; acrobat, ringmaster, and beast tamer avatars, and a juggler trophy would be cute.  
  • Thanksgiving is coming. How about a giant roast turkey statue, turkey and Pilgrim avs and turn a house into the Mayflower?

    At this time of year (November) the Melbourne Cup is run. Its one of the biggest horse races in the world and in Australia it is 'the race that stops the nation'. It is part of the Spring Racing Carnival and it does stop the nation as  25 Million Australians all have their one bet of the year.

    So my suggestion is to have a season based on the Melbourne Cup and maybe other seasons based around other famous horse races like the Kentucky Derby or the Grand National etc..

  • It would be fun to have a Christmas tree growing and selling farm contest! Perhaps a visit from ol St. Nick to boost our trees growing lol

    I agree with the Melbourne cup idea, something based on the real world instead of the surreal world for a change.

    I also have another suggestion. Have a fishy theme to celebrate the new fishing update. Include rewards that are fish-related such as bait, equipment, maybe actual fish but and most importantly, bonus fishing XP. The horses could be racing around a pond or lake some such.

    I concur with a Western Theme (we already have the desert back round to use) and the Water Theme, OLEG could launch you underwater to a new world to explore>
  • i guess cowboy theme would be fun..also the xmas theme..i mean trees with lights and stuff like that.. :smiley:

    Art country festival. In winter all crops are stored. Farmer wifes can make cloths from wool, cotton. Farmer can repare machines, build new machines, carwe wood...make shoes...

    Winter holydays for farmers family. Ice skating , sledding and skiing theme.

    Country music festival. As reward we can chose between 3 country instrumental songs as background music.

    Instead of horse racing 1 x per year a donkeys race.Because the mules and donkeys are capricious would be interesting.

    or. buying a horse you've got 10 diferent horses. One of them is a mule. Hi is capricius till next breeding.

    Day for mechanics


    Machine is broken. Parts of machine are scatered across farms. Find parts and reconstruct machine.

    For recconstroction you recive nice reward.

    You cant harvest as long as you don't fix the machine .

    HORSE RACE.

    For me, more special prizes can be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in horse races.

    Horse racing awards are not enough.
      :( 

    Because we spend a lot of time and effort. Gold, Silver and Bronze cup decorations can be given as extra prizes.

    how about a trip to a planet someplace by rocket ship or some starship, then help alien race replant their planet with something to harvest for their food supply or some kind of alien animals that produce some form of drink for them to use that can be mixed with the crops to produce food items for their people.


    then another idea could be an undersea garden theme, harvesting sea urchins, Sea horses, eels, sea weed, and lots of good stuff.  this would mean having to use diving equipment to get around under water. maybe even using the lock nest monster to help use get to the undersea garden.


    Another idea could be a prehistoric island with dinosaurs that are domesticated and the people living there tend them like we do on are farms already, maybe using small dinosaur eggs instead of chickens and ducks, growing plants from that time period, for food, even finding a flame of fire for the cooking hearth,

  • How about a bake off.  The bakery could be upgraded to make cookies, cakes, and other goodies and we canhave a contest to see who sells the most , like  Girl Scout Cookies sell off.
  • I'm sure there are times when we all feel like we've fallen down the rabbit hole.......soooooo, let's have an Alice in Wonderland season!!  We could have nice avatars like the cheshire cat, Alice, the Queen of Hearts, etc........and a trophy of maybe a sparkling teapot or ........somethin' like that.....???   :D
  • How about an underwater fish scene where you have to count Miss Tentacles or some of the fish we have been catching.  Maybe throw in a hidden treasure chest that you find for a bonus.

    Or take the fishing program where you go out for a set amount of time to catch a certain fish.  May end up buggy though....However it would utilize certain tackle box items etc..

    Do a grid contest like the counting reindeers/Santas but with hearts, shamrocks for the upcoming Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day.

    Finally another flash contest where random BF characters are holding flowers (or chocolate boxes :)  ) or shamrocks.  Love this contest as it is random and fair to all players.

    anything I asked cuddley foxes but he did not respond?
  • Hey Guys,

    Just a reminder that this thread is for suggestion ideas for themes for the horse racing seasons, with suggestions for possible avatars, trophies, decos etc that fit in with your proposed theme - Some posts seem to have gone a bit off the topic. :)

    Has Diwali ever been done?  lots of cool gods, festival of lights, could be lovely.

    I feel your pain wabbit.                                      
    Now as a suggestion to what this thread is about    Maybe something related to the Pony Express  which is a part of American history   with horse and rider with mail as the trophy  



  • for the races I like to see a spinning horse ....... or a light house that  the lights blink off and on or water fall with moving water ........  or a horse that really moves running free on the farm  or a jack in the box that pops out  or when it opens  fire works come out .  or a tiny duck or tiny cow as a gift  smaller cherry tree or apple tree small with more when  harvest something useful would be great .  
  • Awe shucks lets give our horses a fun in the sun day! Put them out to pasture for a lil socializing.  <3

    Since summertime and gardens, How does your garden grow? Sometimes when we plant and harvest our flowers, different things pop out. since we will soon see a cat, maybe a treat for cat or dog.
  • I would love for all the events to tie-in together. We have a Tropical temp Island & Vikings land, how about adding those to the Cup Trophies and themes.
    Have a Valhalla Cup (nordic version, perfect for winter) - with Thor, Loki, Sif ID avatars and maybe a nice deco of Thor's Hammer or Yggdrasil as reward & Cup Throphy for our stands :)

  • Would love to also see a cool Halloween version of a Cup again - maybe involving fairy tales like Cinderella, Red Ridding Hood, Beauty & the Beast. That would generate a ton of new ID avatars and interesting decos for platinum/ diamond league.  Cinderella slipper would look awesome on a trophy stand ;)

  • How about the gift being to FIX the current issues... instead of adding more stuff that slows everything down.... just a suggestion... :D

    Horse Ranch to me, when I play it - is least buggy of all farms, lol  
    Simple - you pick-up your gasoline, refill - pick your horse choose from 3 horses given & race.
    Season ideas are for themes for the Horse Championship cups - and we all play for gifts & decos hehehe

    But you right - making the game run smooth should be the overall goal !! :) 
    Post it in Bug-squashing section !!
