The leveling off age is approximately equal to the first number of the PT score for intact horses. Neutered horses may not level off until the next game year. However, I think that with PT scored 11 and up, they will level off sooner than the age that equals the PT score. I haven't really checked it out, because I went to what is now the Premium Upgrade and stopped having to keep track of when to show my horses.

If you create a horse and it is already leveled off, you will know that it will probably never leave Level 1 and will not make you much money showing or gather very many points. However, it may still be a good breeder for a foundation, so don't give up on it too quickly.

After a horse levels off, it will still gain minute fractions of a point with training, so that if it is at the very, very top of its class, it may, after several months level up into the next higher Level/Grade and then will place at the bottom of the class. That would be the time to stop showing it, but its collection of points will still be valuable to your showing bonus, so don't just auction such an oldster off.
