Injuries, Pensioning and Death
Race and Workout Injuries Horses can be injured after running or working out/training if they do it too often. As a rule, never run horses in back to back weeks (no Week 4 and Week 5, or Week 14 and Week 15, or Week 16 and Week 1) unless you are running in the American or Canadian Triple Crown, or the Two Year Old Turf Triple. Those races have a special affect on a horse's tiredness that accumulates (so they need a long break after) but doesn't cause them to be injured during the event.
A horse's injury can last from 2 to 6 weeks and range from $1,000 - $20,000 to repair the horse.
Pensioning of Stallions A stallion can be pensioned by the computer at any time. This generally happens once a stallion has reached 11 years old. A younger stallion can be pensioned if they are not getting more than a few mares a year. Horses who are pensioned still cost the $5 day rate.
Death While Foaling A mare who is 12 years old or older can die while foaling. The older the mare gets, the more likely it will die. The foal will always live.
Death of Old Age Elderly horses can die at any time and won't live past 30.
