I would also love this!
Please yes! I would *like* to try to breed for good legs on all my horses but I don't know the situation with outside studs (and I feel too shy to ask every owner)

Can we get a "not fast/firm" option for the track condition pull down. I don't really care how wet the track is for my like/loves mud horses so it would be great if I could just see all the varied off tracks at once instead of having to select one at a time.

Not gonna lie, I thought that owners of soon to be pensioned sires got like a message or something when that 72 hour mark comes up. Was thusly a bit of a surprise to see Antares being pensioned on the news feed. I wouldn't mind a message because holy cow I had absolutely no idea

According to the horse history you got notice on week 9 day 3, you paid the 100k which then told you he would pension in 72 hours. Are you sure you didn’t get the warning? Did someone else Pay the 100k?

The notice shows up as a Horse Alert message - I think some others have mentioned in the past that if you don't have the horse injury notifications on, you don't see those alerts.

I noticed it showed on the horse history after the fact, but I never got any sort of concrete notification, nor did I ever pay 100k.

Had someone paid the 100k there would have been a history item after "Your hourse was found to have declining fertility and will be pensioned in 72 hours" that said simply "Will be pensioned in 72 hours" which was not in this horse's hisory as Brian didn't pay as mentioned. The horse is pensioned 72 hours after the first notice regardless of if the fee is paid as it can't be pensioned right away to make sure the owner has time to pay. Its just if you don't pay its not available to breed to during those 72 hours, if you do it is.

Can confirm, this happened to me with Castles Crumble. I am still trying to solve the mystery of why horse alerts were turned off.

Money drain idea for the game. What about capping the number of horses at a farm, or charging a fee if a farm has over a certain number of horses? If there's more than say 1000 horses (hypotheitcal number here) at a farm, it would make sense that the owner should need to buy another farm.

this is probably stupid but the idea popped into my head:
something that could be cool to add to a horses page or catalog page would be their fastest times at the distances they raced

For the horse action drop down on barn pages would we be able to get a “set horse type” so we can change a whole group of horses? For example selecting all my TM yearlings and changing them “TM, NCl”

Not necessarily opposed to the concept, but right now, there are 273 farms, and according to Sim Sanctum, over 450,000 horses in the SIM (of which 10,000 plus belong to AJ - would they count towards capacity?). Cap at 1,000 per farm, that's a lot of horses that would need to be booted off farms. Also, if this were to be implemented, there'd probably have to be a way that the farm owner could limit the number of boarders, as opposed to their own horses shipping back after a race/for retirement and being blocked due to a cap or being charged, but on the flip side, that could lead to a disadvantage to those players whose economics don't work for buying a farm.
