So I don't know if this has been previously suggested but I really wish there was a way to see how many animals are in a show without having to click on it. I do enter all on most my animals, as I train about 400 animals total every week, but this week I noticed some of my dogs were falling behind a bit so I thought I would go through and look for some shows with the least amount of entiries and enter them in those. Which got me thinking about how nice it would be if when you went to search for a show where is lists the show name, run date and type, that there was also a spot that showed how many entries into the show there was. Personally this is a feature I would pay extra for in the cash shop as it would help my animals gain more points and I don't mind sometimes spending the extra time. I also feel that this feature would help prevent certain shows from getting flooded. So yea, not sure if this is something that would be possible but I at least wanted to put it out there. :-)

alhtough i like the idea (even though i dont hand train) i think adding it would make the game too easy if that makes sense. 

I don't really think it would make it any easier. Hand training already takes forever as it is, and I know even with access to this feature i would still use the enter all for most of my horses. I really think this would be a nice feature for people who have project animals that can't afford private shows 

I kind of agree with Maha, It makes finding unflooded shows simple and easy and while its something I wouldnt use (Enter all button all the way for me) when it comes to our mascot contests the aim is that you need to look for and search for these unflooded shows. The information is already there. It just takes time and dedication from the player to be able to find the information.

I think HP basically boils down to needing to have time, or money. To have high pointed animals you need to have a lot of one or the other (or a mixture of both). I'd love a little feature like this, like I'd love to have some fail safes around privates so a busy day at work doesn't result in me losing millions in lost shows. But I don't think the broader community is interested =(. 

the idea is nice but then it would turn into, what is now condisdered flooded and unflooded? shows would balance out and then your left really contemplating which to enter 

Are you just thinking of a number with the amount of entrants next to the link to enter?

As stated above, you can use the show search function to see how many there are currently :).

There's a certain level of "grinding" that needs to exist in games, otherwise people can log in and out and not really have an incentive to spend time on it. And with a game as simple as HP, the grinding, while a pain, is kind of necessary since you already only need a few hours per week to play if you don't want to get too in-depth.

We ARE working on a few things to make the game have more depth (without adding complication), so there's more that goes into training and showing if you want there to be. Once some of those things are ready to be implemented, then I can possibly see this being added in :).

I tottally agree with what you are saying Sam, but I don't see how this really makes the game any less of a grind really. It would save some time, but in order for this training method to really work it reqires you to pretty much log in everyday and train the horses for the next day only, since I've noticed that most of the shows have a fairly even number of entries, except the ones that were made more recently. So I don't know, it was just a tought I had and I don't think it would be that hard to add, and I really don't think it will make it so easy that people don't login as much. Personally I train over 200 animals a week, but I only train a handful of my own using this method as they have falled behind and I feel it's worth it for them to get a few extra points without me having to spend money of private shows.

I like the idea but understand where everyone else is coming from. ♥

What peike said...wouldn't knowing what shows are unflooded make those shows then the flooded ones? Then they'd all be equal amounts after a while.
