    I would like to see a solar system theme.

    Avatars can be sun, stars, moons, planets.

    Trophies can also be sun, star, moons, planets (saturn, jupiter, mars ..etc).

    Can have a spaceship as a deco reward

    Can also have a rocket ship skin, there is already a UFO pigsty skin.

    There are endless possibilities if Portugal, Spain, and the countries of the Caribbean, Africa, and South America are considered.

    Mardi Gras which  even US has their versions as well as France, Belgium, Brazil, Columbia, Germany,  so many countries.

    I would like to see something incorporating the Arabian Nights theming or Pirates of the Caribbean dreaming...not sure what you could use, but let the imagination go wild...the above Arabian and Pirates don't have to be confined only to the horse race; how about a new quest similar to the Camping, Aliens etc ones already in game.  Let's see what company creators come up with...ggg  :)
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    I don't think Pirates of the Caribbean would be allowed due to copyright issues, but a Pirates or Arabian Nights theme would both be fun, I think.  
  • ronin7 (INT1)ronin7 (INT1) INT1 Posts: 542
    yes, I really meant something in the pirates theming utilizing either a quest similar to camping/fairy tale (imagine Rita in pirate costume or even Lester...ggg :)   ) something to do with boats or fishing.  I'm really liking the fishing although more swordfish, cod and salmon sites would be greatly appreciated... :)

    How about Princesses & Princes, with a carriage for a prize  :)
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    I really liked the British themed event -- hope we get more appearances for the houses some time in the future..

    How about having songbirds and birdhouses with birds on them for the trophy?

    I like the Christmas theme next....maybe a Mr. & Mrs. Claus avatars also...since it is close to that holiday  o:)   

    I do LOVE the rodeo theme...that one at the new year with a top rodeo king & queen as avatars would be a nice touch   :) 

      Michiru (GB1) could keep the rest of the new year going   B) 

    So many good ideas here...
    This isn't an idea for a theme, but what about a hidden object event during 10 days of the tournament?  The prizes for harvesting collectibles and hidden objects could be horse-themed decos or skins for the stables.  The hidden objects could be (large -- LOL) horseshoes.

    This would be really fun too...what a creative group that play this game, there's not one I didn't like !!       :*<3

    I like AndyRoo's idea of the Melbourne Cup; have no idea what it all entails, but that the whole country stops to root the horses to the win, it's an idea to ponder and see if we can't get behind it.  Also, black horses indeed like the Arabian horses OR even a Arabian Night's themed race.  The rewards would be a whack of horseshoes along with a warrior horse trophy...but really I'm going for the horseshoes...:)  My vote is for Melbourne Cup with Arabian Night theme with lots of horseshoes.
  • Damaria3 (US1)Damaria3 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,737
    I like the Arabian Nights theme  that @ronin7 (INT1)  suggested

    Do these horse racing events have to be tied into some sort of national holiday?
  • ronin7 (INT1)ronin7 (INT1) INT1 Posts: 542
    FarmerCli...no it doesn't have to be tied to a national holiday of any kind.  I like the idea of the Melbourne Cup because it might inspire the company or powers-to-be to think of prizes/rewards etc with Australian theme ... just as my Arabian Nights theme idea would inspire some things like a black horse, warrior horse trophy and, as always...a whack load of horseshoes...regular horseshoes to be used for training as they are rather rare winnings

    horse racing..

    opponents are injustice

    a 10 level horse can't beat 100 lvl. but they are racing together. at the opposite 100lvl horse wins the race easly. thats injustice too.

    there should be a balance
  • I would like to be able to see my co-ops horses when we visit their ranch. It would really help planning to breed at the Village Horse Meadow
  • Rusty Farmer (AU1)Rusty Farmer (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,705
    What about a TV/Movie theme - famous fictional horses such as Black Beauty Trigger, Silver, Flicka and so on. Could include things from classic TV shows such as Follyfoot and White Horses.

    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. :)
    How about a World cup,
    Avatars - country flags (Australia, Germany, US, Russia)
    Trophy - planet earth
    Decoration - again something with multiple flags  e.g. a 5x5 deco with a central horse statue surrounded by four flags representing the four biggest servers of bigfarm 
    something like this..

    Mardi Gras/ Carnival event would be nice. Whether its horse racing or an actual event since it comes once a year. I live in NOLA so would be nice to see an event like this on here. 
  • Terri8 (US1)Terri8 (US1) US1 Posts: 141
    Let us watch the horses run the track. Also maybe harness racing.
  • My little suggestion would be to be able to display cups/trophies on the horse ranch to increase happiness rather like the deco's on the other farms.  Happiness could have a bearing on the horses performance - the happier the horse, the better it performs.  You could introduce cups for show jumping and dressage and display them on each of the arena's.

    How about robot horses ? Create a new event where we search for hidden mechanical horse parts with different qualities and attributes. We then use Greta to assemble our parts into our robotic horse. Turn the empty area on the horse ranch into a mini game where our horses compete.  Include some element of skill based key pressing to make it more fun and interactive.


    Yes, I realize this might be a but too much for a traditional farming game. Maybe I'm just getting bored.

    I'd like a MEDIEVAL theme:

    Profile pictures in the form of different family crests, 

    Titles as royals and nobles (Duchess, Baroness, Knight, Count etc)

    Final dec as a medieval warhorse (+Knight +flag)

    Trophy as a huge sword (in a stone, King Arthur-style)

    I would like to see the horse training area become a ranch. Move all the food needed for the horse meadow onto the ranch in a building or barn. You could take existing elements in the game and transfer them to the ranch. You already have a base camp set up with lumber and an area set apart. How about some buildings in that area. Also, I would like to see Iconic trophies, maybe a series of trophies, Black beauty, Silver, Trigger etc.

  • STEAMPUNK theme :)  
    Considering we already have a mechanical Mill skin for Steampunk set, adding a Horses Cup for that would be brilliant, maybe the reward skin is Water Mill for our Gourmet Farm.

    Classic TV-themed horses from the likes of Black Beauty, Follyfoot and so on.

    I cant understand how can a theme matter much when the reward after a month-long horse season is meagre, pitiful and inadequate. After spending tons of dollar, time and energy at the island farm for earning training horse-shoes, what the horse season gives us? One gml at platinum league, two in diamond!!

    I love my horses, but its becoming an unproductive investment. Its high time ggs learns a sense of parity and respect for hard work, and refrain from duping the players with some worthless cartoon icons.

    I love the horse tourney, and am happy with the prizes. And I have tons of horseshoes and never do a temp farm. (The jetty is your friend.) I only wish we could choose the decos and skins.  Not too thrilled with the Uber Pink ones this time around.

  • What about a picnic theme? Ice cream and cookouts and street fairs are at their peak in the summer, but you never take advantage of that. 

    You could also play with different bugs. Lightning bugs, bees, dragon flies, lady bugs, praying mantis, and some other cute bugs. They could make great decos with that kind of theme.

    Other thought is to celebrate the different genres of music and do a theme where you start with music notes and a radio and work your way up to rock star.
