Foal Halter Suggestions

Foal Halter should run automatically at 10 entries vs. 20. If shows have 4 entries, they will run at noon after 24 hours (just like regular halter with 7 entries).
Why: It is nearly impossible to get 20 foals into a show, because the pool of available foals is constantly growing and shrinking. If you have a foal that is a 1*, 2*, or 5*, it is very likely that your foal's halter shows will never run, because the majority of babies born are 3* and 4* stars. This makes breeding the best possible quality actually a disadvantage. 3* and 4* will be ahead of 5* foals at age up because they were able to run their halter shows multiple times.
Support, I have some 3* foals that over 7 days of trying to enter them daily have only had 11 shows run. They're not even a particularly rare breed but they just don't have the same opportunity to gain levels as those foals of a more popular breed. I imagine it would be even worse if they were 5*.
150% support! This would for sure help cross campaigns too sinec they only have 4/5*, and getting those to run can be hard as is, especially when the campaign doesn't have a ton of people doing it. My own personal hell I have created, LOL.
I think it also would be great since I notice my 5* babies do not run as much as others (pures, specifically even.) Even with non-rare breeds this occurs as well, and it sometimes feels like a punishment (loosely, but losing 20-40 levels compared to your other foals hurts) for breeding 5*.

Big support.
I second the notion of running at Rollover like the other shows, too.

As a Knabbi breeder, most of the shows are filled with my own foals and just never run

Often I'll see full grown horses in with my foals, they've been waiting so long for them to run.

As someone who breeds Marwaris, Tekes, and now Chincoteagues - I 1000000% support this. I actually think the halter shows for rare or limited breed foals should run after 24 hours if they get even 2 entries because there will always be fewer foals available TO enter from those breeds.
Agreed.
