been a bit over zelous buying horses

Post by The Harlequins »

I have aquired about 100ish horses that have since been retired for one thing or another....my bad.

If i buy myself another barn with game points, will i be able to home those horses for on fee.

You have to pay board and daily horse expenses for any horse, whether they’re retired or not and no matter what barn they’re in. However if you have your own farm and stable your horses there you don’t have to pay boarding fees.

If you own your barn you will have to pay $20k quarterly I believe.

New players don’t have to worry about the daily fees, but I remember the switch to being a junior player sucking big time!

You should make sure all of your horses are at $20/week farms.

If you’d like you can send your pensioned horses to me :) I have a pensioners program (see my signature)!

The barns you buy for game points are just for organizing your horses. They do not save you any money in expenses.

You can buy farms to put your horses at for $2 million. That will mean you won't have to pay board for those horses but you would still pay day fees, once you have to pay day fees.

I am pretty sure once a horse is pensioned you no longer have to pay day fees (someone can correct me if I'm wrong) but you would still pay board if they were not at your farm. Geldings are automatically pensioned. Mares and stallions need to be manually pensioned.

If you do not want to use the horses you have retired for breeding you can get rid of them by pressing the send a horse to greener pastures. Then you don't need to pay to keep them. However, it costs $5,000 to send any horse 4 or younger to AJ. I am not sure if this is waived for new players or not.
