Yeah, the horses will eventually die, whether you pension them or not. I don't have any stallions, and don't plan on having any until the end of year 21, but I can imagine there are a number of different strategies. Depending on the stallion, of course, I can see pensioning after a 3 or 4 year stand at stud to control the population, and the value of the foals I happened to breed from him. A lot of people wait until they have declining fertility. How you decide to manage him is really up to you, I think the important part is to develop a plan early on and stick to it as best you can.

so what is the point to pension a horse?

I pensioned Night Shift and Marley Vale. Both were old and I thought that instead of wearing them out breeding them I'd just pension them and let them live out thier lives on my farm. This way they don't die in breeding mishaps. The SIM probably would have taken them soon anyway and I like to have control over that, so i beat the SIM to it.

I have a Peintre Clebre mare that I love, *hugs Summer Festival*. I will have to find someone to send him for his last year. Hmmm...

I like this horse A Lot.. but He is already 24.. and he didn't get that much attention so rather than have him "Die" I feel that its Nicer to just pension him. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that so If they want to breed to him they have the rest of the year
