[ADDED] *Make Winner's Circles Rarer

I feel that it would be far better if Winner's Circles were rarer. I only show a few horses a day, and I still have loads. 

Currently, there is a 10% chance of attaining it if a horse wins 1st place in a show. I think it would be beneficial if the chance decreased to, say, 5%. 

This is because it is turning into another Unicorn Plush scenario - at some point it will have no worth and will start to simply clog up the inventory. Thoughts? :)

I have over 200 winner's circles in my inventory. granted I show a lot of horses, but still. 

(and 20+ unicorns). 

maybe if a horse could only win 1 winner's circle in it's lifetime?

I was thinking the same thing as Aglet, I have way too many and I haven't even been back for very long!

Yeah, I know a few people who have thousands, gaining at least 100 more every day! This would totally be helpful. I do agree with Aglet, maybe just one in life time? Then once all your horses have gotten one (considering that you don't gain horses at a very fast pace), then it would almost be impossible to gain more. But it's the right idea. I've got to many... but I keep getting more. *Sigh* 

I understand that people with a lot of horses get a lot of those. But I don't support making this background more rare is it would negatively affect those with smaller show herds, making it harder to get this background.

Maybe a cap for number of winner's circles that can be found in a single day/week?

Today alone I got 16 winner's circles (not all of my shows have run for today yet), but that means I'm getting ~70 a week. which is probably a low estimate honestly. 

Although I feel if you capped it to one winner's circle for the lifetime of a horse it would also be pretty fair to players with few horses as they'd have enough (theoretically and eventually) to put one on every horse they owned if they felt like it.

@Evermore: But I show with very few horses a day, yet I'm still kinda drowning in them xD. And it would be an incentive to make their horses better show-ers (lol), and to upgrade more tack, ect.

And I do like the idea of a horse getting one a lifetime c:

Thanks for your feedback, I was wondering if this might be a bit too frequent.  I've drastically dropped the rate at which it spawns, maybe give it a few days and see if it gets a bit better? :)

@insomniaglet, I think that is a really good idea. A cap based soley on an individual basis.   :)   But I think a higher cap would be better. Maybe 5 or something? Just my thought.   :)

@Io, that is a good point, it could be more of an incentive to make horses better competitors.

Sooo sad .... now there seems to be no winner circle anymore .... my horses win ..... but not one more shows up.
I was always happy when I won one :'(

@Abbey: unfortunately I have my horses locked for the moment (I am on holiday) so I can’t ‘test’ (for want of a better word) the change...thank you for giving it a go for now!

@Caddy: I totally understand that! But maybe when a horse does place 1st it will be even more special when it spawns a Winner’s Circle? Anyway it’s up to Abbey now ;)

@Caddy, ditto   ^^      :(     RIP Winner's Circles for me.

I got one last night from shows. I had 16 pages of results and only 1 winners circle. Which is fine by me since I'm drowning in them. 

I got 1 in 2 pages of results 

What if once a horse attains so many winners circle you could trade them in for a trophy to go on that horse (and only that horse)? Or something like that so you can show them off? It'd also be nice if they were linked to the horse who won them rather than being available to any of your horses :)
