Suggestion about pasture sale "insurance"
  • I understand why this needs to be done and this isn't any sort of "dig" nor am I angry but... would it be at all possible to add "insurance" of sorts in case a member is unexpectedly hospitalized ot something in the real world and can't get to their foals in time?

    Like I know I really had plenty of time but I kind of like to do one pasture at a time and savor things, but on the 17th I went into the hospital for a routine procedure, something went catastrophically wrong and it was the 25th before I kinda sorta woke up on a ventilator. I was still pretty mentally out of it and today is the first day I haven't spend medicated out of my mind.

    I'm envisioning something like maybe one "pass" a year, or maybe we could buy insurance each month to automatically send some or all of that months foals to a stable until it's full? Like, I would have happily paid 100k maybe more for the system to send even just the foals that would pass SBA to a safe spot where they're either in my stable or just in "limbo" until either I picked them up or I failed to "pay my premium" or even just 30 days?

    I'm just a little sad I lost almost a whole season/year of foals in many of my lines. I think anyway. My mind is not all the way "with it" and maybe I just forgot I sorted my RH, RP and black silver lines.

    Just a random possibly medicated thought. They never warn you what your chest will feel like after chest compressions and while it definitely beats death every time I get the hiccups it feels like an 800lb gorilla has been using my sternum as a drum lol
  • I'm so sorry this happened to you, but some of us never leave the studs on the pasture, so there are never foals unattended. I put the stud in , breed, pull him out, the I pull out the babies. It's all done in a couple minutes.
    I hope you feel better soon.

  • I am so sorry you got sick and hope you get better soon.

    The best insurance is to never leave your foals in the pasture and remove them as soon as you breed them. "Do not store keeper foals in the pasture, remove them asap."

  • Yeah normally I'm way more on the ball... really mostly mad at myself more than anything. Regular month I breed the pastures around the 10th to the 15th, then do one foal pull/sort every other day or so until they're all done. This time life happened and I only managed to get through my "unicorn" lines (the ones where I breed my fantasy horses that at adulthood get the fake unicorn horn added lol). Hopefully soon I'll have fewer of those stables, most of them I'm just trying to breed in a specific gene and once I hit the point where a lot of foals are quality wise on par with my regular I unicorns I'll mix them together and switch the pastures to other uses... I want to get belton mixed in my regular horse and pony lines, ice genes and the lace pattern in unicorns etc.

    It was just a random medicated to the gills thought TBH, I'm not upset it can't happen
  • Thankfully it was just some lines of code and not something important. I am really glad you are still with us. :)
