I never cull my show string. Even if a horse has leveled off near the bottom of a class, I might stop showing it, but as long as it has a decent number of points, those points will continue to add to your showing bonus until it ages out of the game.

This 28 year old gelding has been leveled off probably since he turned 11, but he is showing in the middle of level 7N and still is adding in the neighborhood of 15 points every time he shows. He currently has over 2000 points and adds around 250 hbs to my showing bonus every night. Cull him? Heck, NO!

I have started to cull some of my show ponies, I look to see if they’ve leveled off yet and at what level they’re at. Like if I see one that’s leveled off at only a 2 or 3 level and they don’t have hardly any points I’ll put them in the auction. PT score isn’t always a good bet, like with Nusabat the horse posted above my comment. He only has a 9.90 PT but he’s bringing in 192hb’s a day with all his points. I’d say give your non leveled off ponies time to gather points. If you have horses that have leveled off at low levels and they’re giving you a very low payout a day I’d say you’re okay to put them in the auction.

I cull my show string by letting them age out of the game, lol.
