No - or she shouldn't anyway. If it has then it's a bug.

You can move mares between pastures without losing the bonus - I do so on a regular basis! I have a large holding pasture where I keep all the mares. Then, I move them in groups to an empty one, based on the stallion I plan on breeding them to!

I'm pretty sure you can take them out of a pasture and put them in a barn, they'll keep their bonus until daily rollover.

Thanks everyone! I'm hoping I can get some really nice pasture foals this season. Am I correct in assuming that I still get the pasture bonus even if my stallions don't live there? I keep them in my barns and pull straws from some of them so I'm planning on sticking them in my pasture, clicking breed all, and then taking them back out.

This thread is awesome! It helped me so much! Thanks guys!

The best way I've seen it explained is this:

Your mares can produce foals over a range of possible qualities based on her hidden breeding ability score. For every day she lives in the pasture, a slider covers up a little bit of the bottom range of her ability until she's been there for 30 days and only the area at the top of her range is left for her to produce foals from.

Now obviously your stallion is still producing from his full range, but generally your foals will be of higher quality than if your mares were also throwing from their low range and you are more likely to have foals that pass their testing intact as well.
