I have a “sales” barn (15 stalls) that I put horses in I don’t want to immediately sell back to the game/auction, esp if I’m hoping for more than 1k/2.5k back for them. I put the price in, and when they sell, I add more. To be fair, I only have about 500 horses, but I also do my best to sort ASAP after breeding season, so I don’t get too attached, or let them languish.

Ultimately, for breeding, I keep the ratio at 1:3 breeders:show horses, so any horse that isn’t immediately awesome gets spelded and thrown in the show barns. That’s helped my daily bonus go up, and lets me keep the lovelies even if I can’t breed them.

Welcome back! I know how you feel about working on mobile with the show button at the bottom of the page... It gets frustrating at times.

Now I don't have much advice the way of sorting to sell, because I keep everything. However I do have to go through and sort and shuffle my horses between barns every couple of seasons. Each season of foals typically gets their own 210 stall barn. Once they reach breeding age the intacts get moved into the appropriate barn (stallion, Gold bootstrap, blue bootstrap, etc). If the mare doesn't get bred during their first season they tend to stay in their foaling year barn.

As horses age out I shuffle the spelds into their own barns (typically by year foaled) which then opens up empty barns that can then be renamed for the next foaling year.

I do agree with BellaVoice, if you can take a small barn and fill it with horses you know you want to sell, then it could help you get through your herd in small chunks. This is dependent on knowing what you want to breed for.
Right now I've got a separate barn to hold the horses for my contest/giveaway so they don't get lost in the mess!

If you need a few horses to fill in a few lines once you reorganize, let me know what you need. I have to cut down on mares eventually, so i'd be happy to let you snag a few if they'd be useful.

Have you seen the new sellback option @ColorGoodStables ? The 10yo+ horses can go through auction and get a minimum sell price of the life time payout. Might help clean out some horses?
