I play a rabbit game, that gifts a prize box if a rabbit dies of old age. :)

BUT, I think the 1k for FRing oldies is just as good. :D

It doesn't have to be for everyone. Just like how some stables are fine with free ranging yearlings because the extra thousand doesn't motivate them to keep the horses around for a whole month.
There is a balance between paying for hay every week and taking up stall space
For some stables it might be worth it and give a bonus for keeping a prized horse.
And maybe an added market for school masters.

I love genetics. Sadly my college doesn't have any animal specific classes, mainly human or just in general. So hopefully when I get to vet school there will be animal specific genetic classes!

If we have a chapter on that I will let you know! lol but this class is set up different. We don't have tests. It is all based on writing and discussion on each of the topics. It is like 80% graded on participation and the rest is quizzes and a paper we have due at the end of the semester lol

Agh! Makes me happy to know there’s other people here who enjoy and study genetics. I’ll definitely get back into it.

Boulder, that is an absolutely precious idea. So many people cherish their older horses. I actually don’t think that’s a morbid thought. In a way it is celebrating their life/peace.

Maybe a totally morbid thought,
What if there was some sort of gift given for having a senior die peacefully in game

Not fully sure of the logistics
- would it clog the server full of old horses
- would players hoard senior horses for the gift
- would it create a senior horses market?

What if each year they get older, the prize increases?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has pointers or guides for culling mares and stallions.
I want to try and make sure I am breeding the better horses and putting all my money into better matches. If anyone has any tips or guides for this it would be very much appreciated!
Thank you!

Brinley (an old astonishing barn) said she gave each mare 3 breeding chances then sold/free ranged or used for showing only. So that is what I do.
For stallions it is quicker to decide as they breed more times per year. They do normally breed well in their first year. But it is hard to decide if this co-insides with a year when your own mares produce ppp after ppp!
But after 10 breedings with OK mares you know if the stallion will ever be going to give what you want. You can sell or geld for showing only.
If find it very hard to cull. But even harder to deal with a large barn. No getting away from it.

I know there used to be some posts on how to cull but I did a search and don’t see them so I may be thinking of something from the old forums (long ago!).

Culling can be difficult and I don’t cull often enough but when I do I usually follow the general guidelines that were given to me by some of the stables older than mine (many of whom no longer play). If mares have been bred to good stallions and failed to produce their own rating or better (for me that would be EEE+) by the age of 5 or 6, then they need to go. I usually sell or free range.

I have a soft spot for Stallions and tend to hold on to them whether or not they have bred well. They are tested using 10 decent mares or more. If they don’t breed well, I tend to keep them anyway and will only use them for breeding if they have something I need to add to the herd (for me that would be color). All my stallions show so I don’t generally worry about gelding them unless they have aged out or I am doing a hard cull.

A lot of it also boils down to what your goals are for your stable. Cull based on what will help you meet that goal.

When I started a year ago I found a very good beginners' guide from years ago (2017) when EEE was the highest rating a horse could have. The stable name was Hyrim Canyon and his guide had been quoted in the forums. There were some very good guidelines about culling which you can find here.
