Yes, lifetime payout does depreciate. Like annismyrph said, he’s earning you a bunch per day, but since he’s 21, he could pass on rollover, so his lifetime payout is small.

I don’t usually pay much attention to lifetime payout unless I am buying pointed creates when they’re young since it’s a useful ballpark for their value.

Also, lifetime payout is calculated until the horse has a chance to die (so until the day a horse turns 18). Your horse is already 21 years old, which means it has the chance of dying when a new year/season starts. Therefore it's lifetime payout is now (Saturday April 30th) exactly the same as its daily payout, as it has only today left. Tomorrow is May 1st, which means a new year starts and thus the rollover happens. If your horse survives, you will see that his lifetime payout will be much higher: 350 hbs x 30 days = 9k (im not 100% sure this is the right formula to use though).

Therefore 1yr old foundations created with points have a very high lifetime payout, even if they don't have that many points yet. That's simply because they still have at least 16 more years to live.

So unless your horse earns more points through showing, its lifetime payout will only decrease. But as a horse scores point through showing, its total amount of points go up, which results in a higher daily payout and thus sustains or increases its lifetime payout.

I hope this helped explain lifetime payout and daily payout a bit! And please let us know if you have more questions or if anything is unclear. English is not my first language so I hope it makes sense :p


Edit: I got ninja'd haha, thats what you get for not describing it more shortly :p
