If you could give us a link to the horse, it's URL, then someone could evaluate the significance of its damages. Speaking without seeing this specific horse, I can say that I have horses that frequently appear with damages, generally 0 - 2 or 3 hbs. I generally ignore such things. However, when I have a horse that causes 10+ hbs of damage in a fairly short time (over several weeks, for instance), or who has a single incident of damages over 20 hbs, I always check them out and consider if their value to my stable as either show horses or breeding stock outweighs their damages.

In the early days of the game when there were very few tests to gauge the quality of a given horse, damages were used as a marker--very high damages = poor quality horse. Now, I very rarely see damages more than a few hbs at a time for a given horse. The last one I sent to the auction for excessive damages racked up approximately 45 hbs total (I don't remember the exact figure, but it was in that ballpark) in two events in less that 1 month after I had created her. She was, I think, the second one I recall banishing for damages in the years I've been playing the game since I started in January, 2011.

I would agree. He probably should go back to the auction.

I have put this horse up on buddy sale for you in his place:

He's a consistent 2nd gen 5 year old gelding with a total of 131 points.

No problem. He will be waiting there for you when you are ready.
