Most Foxhunters are Thoroughbreds, which makes the 100mil winners eligible for the TB-only list, according to the rules here.

Its a bit unfair. Miss sarabi is allowing stock horses who have competed in sprint racing then moving onto western to be ontop of the Western list, yet Thoroughbreds who genuinley earn millions in their field and single field of expertise, are not eligable?

That's highly unfair.

[K] Eachan hasn't been involved in anything aside from Foxhunting. Same with sheikera's mare and your other mare also, Jelleh.

And alot of Thoroughbreds are good at track racing. And if they stay in track racing, then they should be eligable to be on the top list for racing. Those that finish with racing and rolled out at least. Its only fair. You can't deny horse, that is good at a particular event because of its breed - that allows others with lesser earnings to take the brag that actually, shouldn't belong to them.

For instance, that western one is really bad. Alot of those over 100M winners do stock racing [sprint] before western. I know this because I am in a partnership where we race stocks and then take them to western. . .


I think this needs a re-think somehow

I'm sure she will make if more fair once she reads all the posts.... she had a serious family problem arise so she hasn't been on to read. So keep that in mind when you post ;)

From the old purses? What? :shock:

The highest earning horse from the old purses was Shimmers The Clincher, and that was in conformation. Plus, his number is a lot lower than your horses.

Maybe you mean from before we could enter in 4 events at once?

I started this list because I thought it would be a really great idea....now I'm not so sure. There are a few who have had constructive critisism which I appreciate and have accomodated and then there are those that just choose to complain. Instead of complaining about the way things are give me some ideas to make it better. Complaining is going to get you nowhere and as I am sure you have noticed that when I am given a suggestion I try to apply it the best I can but complaining tends to be ignored. With that said, if anyone has a few ideas on how to rectify this list without abolishing it I am open to all suggestions. Noone had complained about the stock horses until now so I was unaware of it being unfair....this is where constructive critisism comes into play instead of complaining that I am unfair. I appreciate all comments and suggestions but I take offense when I am accused of being purposely unjust.

Thanks Evermore....I appreciate it :D

You could try a multi discipline list for all horses(instead of just the TB's) who switch disciplines then keep the individual listings for the purists no matter what breed they are :)

I would hate to see you give up. I really like this listing, it gives me goals to shoot for and a handy gauge to judge my horses by.

Thanks Swar...that's a great idea :D I just need to figure out who has switched disciplines and who hasn't. If anybody knows for sure or can prove that a horse has switched disciplines on one of the lists that would help me out a ton. Does everybody like Swar's idea? If so, should I leave all the disciplines for those who just compete in those disciplines (no cross disciplines) and then another list just for those who do cross discipline? Should the cross diciplines list be longer than top 15? (I would think so but it's up to you guys). Thanks again Swar :D

Your welcome :) You could just go on an honor system. It would be easier for you. And multi disciplines should pop out fairly easily on a list of single discipline, ie, a racer who earns 100 mil could be looked at more closely as it's and unusual amount :)

Well, you ARE being unjust really. Only Thoroughbreds are being 'punished' as it were here, what about Quarterhorses, Arabs, and other horses that I am sure switch disciplines many times over?

And the fact is, you change something willingly with just 2 people suggesting/agreeing, yet about 10 suggest and agree properly, and no change? Come on, if you dont want accusation, change it.

Whoa, easy, it's a work in progress. It will take time to work out all the kinks. Nothing starts off perfect. Miss Sarabi is volunteering her time to do this. This list is barely two weeks old :P and I'm sure it is not her intention to snub any particular breed or eventing practice. Give it some time.

Not meaning to make her change it right this second, should of made that more clear, but at least show you are going to change it, if you are. At least then we know what we would like will/should happen.

Thanks Swar....it's always easier when people are working with you instead of against you. I appreciate it :D As for any other comments about me being purposely unjust....keep it to yourself. I made it perfectly clear that it was not my intention to appear unfair. The TB's were the ONLY breed brought to my attention when I decided to make this list. If you read the previous posts you would see that I am trying to fix this.

I don't really see a whole lot of QHs going from racing to western, but I'm sure there are a good amount.

Personally I think a multidiscipline list is appropriate. :) Also I believe that Thoroughbreds are probably the most popular breed on the game, and they are the biggest money winners (nix halter confo). I think the TB list is a great idea, personally, because although you excel in more than one discipline, you can still get recognized, and you don't bump other horses who competed in just one disclipline off of the list. Good idea. :)

Thank you so much for making this list. I'm really sorry some people aren't really appreciating your effort. I, for one, am very grateful though.

I have a few... :)
