SIM Horses by Age
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2016 9:57 pm
Horses are born into the SIM at 0 years old. They must be at least 2 to race, although Arabians must be at least 3 to race.
Horses can race for free until age 9. If you want a horse to keep racing at age 10, 3,000 Game Points must be paid. If you want to keep the horse racing at age 11, 5,000 Game Points must be paid. At the end of the year following the last races, each owner will get a message in the game asking whether or not they want to keep their 9 and 10 year olds racing with instructions on how to do so. The decision must be made before the year turns over and the horse ages. Horses will all be mandatorily retired at age 12.
At age 14, male horses (not just stallions actively standing) can be randomly pensioned at any time by the game.
At age 12 and above, mares can be pensioned or die during foaling. They can be saved due to a hefty monetary fee that rises each year.
At age 20, any horse is at risk for dying due to "old age."
