  • I just placed several hundred spayed/gelded 1-5 year old horses in the auction. I have decided that, with the reduced amount of money an HJ2 horse earns in it's lifetime that it's just not economical to fill my barn with non-breedable horses. A breeding mare can earn me much more over her lifetime with show points and foals combined than a dedicated show horse can.
  • Tough to resist putting them in pastures, though.
  • Yeh that's the problem I have, my breeding mares no longer earn me money as they are sitting in pastures
  • They go in pastures for roughly the first 3 breeding seasons. After that I have usually moved on in my breeding so they become babymakers for profit. I can rotate 500 head in and out of a single 100 horse pasture and earn 750,000 a month. That's 187,500 a week, roughly. Not including what they earn me from points. They only need to be in the pastures for a day to make profit babies, the rest of the time they are off showing and earning points. Significantly more money than what 500 geldings/spays will earn me.

    If I use a generic foundation stud on all my lined mares I have nice, unwanted babies who will likely all get yummed, even if I don't take the time to spay/geld them.

    And that's not including my nice mares who can go up for higher brood fees. I'm confident intact horses will make me more money than spays/geldings.
  • It never occurred to me to rotate mares out of pastures and make a bunch of babies for profit and then pull them out to show. Duh.
  • Never occurred to me either LOL! Easy way to make money and you don't need so much barn space hmm...
