I HAVE A SUGGESTION, SOUNDS LIKE A SIMPLE SOLUTION DON'T KNOW IF IT IS. NAME HORSES AFTER WE FIND OUT THE BSR, SO EVERYONE IS OK WITH NAME GIVING TO HORSES KEPT. WE WASTE A LOT OF GOOD NAMES ON HORSES RETIRED. JUST MY IDEA. I SENT A MESSAGE TO PUDDLES ON THIS TOPIC. I WOULD LIKE A FEEDBACK FROM THIS FORUM.

naming horses

I agree that it would be a good idea to name a horse after you know the bsr and sex of the horse.

I agree as well

You come up with a name like Fast Black George, and you get the horse that's really slow, female,and chestnut lol. It makes much more sense knowing what you have then naming them.

I Agree Too

... Every horse has a server Id number generated with it and I don't see why that couldn't be used until the trainer retires it or names it... A 70 BSR horse that runs backwards is a terrible waste of a good name.

I personally

I personally will not be breeding anymore horses until this is sorted out. I found out the hard way before this announcement was made, wasting 3 great names on 74-95 BSR nags.

We all enjoy trying to be creative with naming our horses. This needs to be addressed sooner than later.

I'm not a programmer

I'm not a programmer but this seems like it should be easily solved. Like Califokie said every horse has a sever ID number. When you bred a horse it has no name just a number. You add another option to the change the color or sex of the horse "Renaming your horse".

Name Calling ?

I agree with you. I admit I don't get the urgency about naming first or nominating first, or even the window for lasix and why it can't be applied mid-tourney. Must have something to do with the programing.
