*Sorting Active Stables

Sorting Active Stables for Riding Schools, Training, and Boarding
It would be helpful to have a checkbox or other way to sort only active stables when searching for Riding Schools, Training, and Boarding so that we can support active players, and in turn also help to progress their arenas to increase their revenue.  There are hundreds of stables in the search that belong to accounts that haven't been logged into in years, some of them upwards of 6-8 years.  I noticed this early on because when I train and school my horses, I personally take the time to go through the list to choose an active player's Riding School to be sure I am supporting someone who is actively playing, which definitely takes extra time but I have always found it important.  The same applies to Boarding and Training.  I have been actively playing Equiverse for a year and a half and none of my arenas have passed Local level, and I feel that is a big reason as to why - the list is randomized, and as an active player you are competing with the overwhelming majority of stables that belong to players that are inactive.   I think having this option would also be helpful in boosting the economy and bringing some revenue (albeit a small amount) to encourage and reward active members.

Support. 
I always felt that all inactive deluxe accounts should "disappear" from riding school, riding school, and boarding center. I also try to support an active player but it's not easy to search through all inactive accounts when I am busy.

100% support. I had the same thoughts since I found out that inactive players still have their stables, arenas etc visible. I personally like collecting money from stable after 2 or 3 months of break, but collecting more money daily is what I would love. We could have a checkbox for showing stables owned by players who have been in the game for last week or month, but I also have an idea that could give this feature a little more meaning.

We could add a "stable renovation/repairs" or something like that. Stables would decay every day (just like in real life) no matter if a player would log in or not. It would be clickable, maybe some small payment for it. And if the percentage drop to 0 the stable, arenas and riding scholl would disappear from search lists until the owner click renovation again. The time from freshly renewed stable and complete ruin would be like a month or more, depends what players would prefer.

What do you think about that? 

Carin, I think you have great ideas.  As someone who has had my own sim horse game in the past, I understand that there are also limitations with code and functionality, so I personally am open-minded for anything that would give us users options but that also makes it easiest/fastest to code for admins.  

In the meantime, I implore everyone to join me in taking the extra moments when training and schooling to make sure you are supporting active members!

For Training, often times I will go through the Online member list and open Deluxe member's stables in new tabs to check out their arenas and use what I need from there as a sort of shortcut.  When Schooling, I pick a stable or two out of the randomized list and be sure the user has logged in recently before I start enrolling my horses into their Riding School.  

Just a thought/encouragement in the meantime 
😊

I found if a training arena has waaayyyy over the needed XP, the owner likely hasn't been on in a while. I always train at arenas that haven't reached the XP goal.

I have a stable and YES I support this!
For me it's different, I have to be there everyday, because my boarders are able to win every week.
I think that if people trust their horses to you to board at your stable, you should at least be there for them.
But, that's just me.
