1. I use no organization whatsoever. My barns show on different days and I want a mix of different showing levels for each day.
2. Like Free cell
3. I use the search function for finding horses rather than digging through barns. On the horses page you can click location and it will take you to the barn or pasture that it is in.

A. I keep all of them. Mo horses = Mo money
B. Mo horses = Mo money. I look at how much that stall cost me. Is that horse in that stall going to be worth it.
c. All of them

- I use the public notes to remind me what project each horse is used for (i.e. silver grullo, Ice 5, etc). I also try to keep my horses of each breeding project in its own barn. Babies go into a separate barn to grow out.
- This part can get a little crazy, like Redbud said, its a lot like a game. I sort of find it a little fun... I keep all of my mares in the pasture for their 3 year old year so they earn 30+ days in pasture. Switching everyone in and out can be pretty time consuming, I wish we could group remove them like we can our barns. Ammit?
- I name related horses or color groups with similar names (all my wild bays have Wild somewhere in their name, all Ice have Ice in their name) and I like to name foals with a combination of their parents' names. This gets harder as I get more horses, sometimes I have to be pretty creative. I also plan to eventually make tattoos for all my breeding groups and the generations, so I can search for them as well.

- My babies all stay in a growing barn until they are breeding age. For stallions, before I put them in their prospective barns, I look at all my recent youngsters and any stallions I purchased to make sure I didn't already surpass him in quality. If I have a nicer colt in the barn not too far behind him, I'll let that one go. For fillies, I keep all that pass testing and have the genes I am aiming for (if I'm breeding for Nexus I don't keep a non nexus baby for breeding). When my mares are breeding age I do a second "culling" and see if I have something better coming up (or maybe I bought a better one). As I said before, I can use one horse for multiple breeding projects. I can usually let them go once I get a nice baby from them for each project, but sometimes if I love what they produce then I keep using them.
- For foundie mares, I keep them for showing if they have a good amount of points when I am done using for breeding. Then I keep them and use them for embryo storage, I don't spay them.
- I have a very weird habit, I don't keep any snipped horses. It may cost me a little more to run my stable than most, but it keeps my barns less cluttered and I just all around prefer it. It probably isn't your style and that's fine, Ammit made the game to keep cut horses useful, I just personally don't keep them.

@AppleRunStables There is a "clear pasture" button now, right next to the "remove all foals" button.

The horses have no pictures until you first open them, so there's nothing to see.

Getting the pictures to generate before opening would be a major reprogramming, and would make for massive demands on the server. It slows it enough when everyone is breeding pastures, if it had to generate images on thousands of horses at the exact same time, it would flat out cripple the server.

I don't think anyone would be happy if it took the server hours to breed a pasture for the first week or two of breeding season.

As it's done now, the pictures are created one at time as people open them.
