Brag About Your Pensioners Thread

[Nick Gilmore]

I have to chuckle every time this thread comes up! Just the other day one of my pensioners threw her rider during lessons. "Thankfully little Ashley wasn't hurt." I cracked up!

I'm down to 4 Lesson horses, the youngest one is 10 years old, the oldest, age 15.

Btw, back in 2011 when I started this thread, Ashley was little...by now in Sim years Ashley should be well into adulthood...maybe even running the Lesson stables ??? and we are dealing with a new little Ashley. ??? lol...

I need to go through my pensioner's pastures and give a bunch of horses new careers...probably should have done it a few weeks ago. Looks like it might be another slow year for my old guys earning money.

I did not know I had a horse by this name, and was surprised to see I bred and named her...lol. Turns out her name means 'Let's Go' in Japanese. Her sire was Nichi Botsu, and her dam, Travel The Wind.

I have 117 pensioners and they haven't earned me a red cent since Feb. 24, 2015.

That sucks

I have large numbers working in my favor, though.
I have 825 pensioners...and of those that could make money: 422 are Eventers, and 351 are Rodeo horses.

I hope your luck takes a better turn and you will start seeing some of your pensioners win you some money.

Well, this year will make 15 SimYears of me tracking my pensioners. I'm starting this year old with a nice rodeo finish from an 11 year old mare who's sire was Tried to Tears and her dam was Rock It Up...thus the name No Disco Please. She, just like disco, sucked too...lol..never earned me a dime on the track. Had 4 perfect 12th place finishes. Glad to see she manged to bring a little bit of money into the stable.

It's been a while since I've had some winnings in here. But then too, my pensioner stable has been getting smaller, in the past 3 years, I've lost about 200 pensioners due to old age. Still, I have a good number of younger horses (ages 3 to 10 years old) I need to give careers to...so I should probably make that my little project for the next few days.
