It's been there for a while now. It's a soft cap on stall space to try and slow the huge barns from getting bigger and bigger.
I think it's a good idea even though i'm suffering a bit haha.

It's amusing to me that after I make my next barn purchase, I'll be considered a big barn, even though I don't have that many horses compared to others, lol. However, I can perfectly understand the reason why.

okay then does anyone have a way to cut down on horses .. how do I figure out which horses to keep and which to get rid of

The way I've been doing it is to breed approximately as many horses as I need to replace the ones that die at rollover. If I lose 700 horses on March 1st, then I'll know I can breed about 700 foals in March/April without needing to worry about more barns to house them.

I haven't bought a new barn in over an RL year... which is probably a good thing since mine come with a whopping 218% surcharge.

@bandit.. that's a good suggestion.. would you mind walking me though how you do you search?

@Ammit.. how much would a new super server cost?

@stonesilo... Im not that big yet.. on average I breed at least 100 foals a year. I basically stopped doing egg breeding and live cover everything I can with the exception of my best producers or a line I am actively working on

This is the search I’d use. You can put your own ID# in the owners box. I started with 18year olds. I do have older horses but they are quite thin already from passing over.

I go straight to the last page and I’d cull #34-37

Then I would go and adjust the age to be 1 year younger

There’s quite a gap between 70&71 and 70 doesn’t have a bad overall points for its age. In fact she has more points than some of the older ones I’d pick to cull from previous age groups.

I’d cull #38-40. I know their points are lower because they’ve spent quite a bit of time in my pastures. Although if I look at their show records #39&40 are both in fairly good spots and are earning a handful of points per show so if I really didn’t need much space I may keep them but cull YJLb 3437432.

I start at the oldest group of show horses and work down each age bracket and only cull the last 5-10 max. As you go down the ages you’ll start to notice trends of points and may decide to cull a few more or less if they are really under or over preforming the age older or younger. I used to go through once a month and shave off the bottom few. It keeps the real stragglers nipped without hurting your daily show bonus too much (the horses I picked would loose about 3,000 points or 321hbs/day which is a drop in the bucket when I earn 188,044hbs/day in show bonus and my show bonus goes up at least 3000points over the week from showing my 4000show horses lol) I stop when I reach 10 year olds and I only cull the horses that are leveled off.

Something that i am noticing is most of the horses i would sell and be useful to new players are ex breeding horses. I don't want to sell these as people buy them and change their names and that irritates me in their pedigrees. I wish we could fix names after a certain age.

Great idea! Fixing names and tack would be a great addition to the game, as it often keeps me from giving good pointed show stock to new members.

I give away show stock that has always been geldings and spays, but I have more to give, if it was not for the fear that names and tack would be changed, and my pedigrees would be messed up.

When you sell a horse doesn't your points drop when they leave? I keep almost everything I breed, and yum all the foals that don't pull in good scores from the start. But then again I am really not that big and have been really careful about how much room I have. I don't have mares that permanently stay in the pasture, so I'm able to show everything.

For reference my average 14+ horse has over 1000 points. And that is with mostly foundations or low gen horses.

Opportunity cost. -link

If you are out of stall space you can either buy more stalls or make space. The more expensive stalls are the more financially smart making space becomes.

They are talking about tossing bad older show horses not your 500 a week earners.

O M G ....I just found a horse with over 8000 points!


Old Relentless

I just threw a bunch (50ish) of older horses in the auction. All have point between 75-200 point

I have 5285 stalls over my primary barn.... I only just noticed that I have to pay 57
% more for barns! Im not sure how I ended up with so many stalls?

I have to go back again this year and start weeding.. its very time consuming but they will end up in auction or for sale for 500
