I'd keep her. She could still give you points and show earnings in addition to the daily payout for another 5 months at least.
Felt like the auction baseline was more useful with a horse I might lose at next rollover. Ex 18yo horse that has a Life payout out of a 1000 and not placing in comps/winning points anymore would be worth 2500 in auction. Or worth Life payout of 4000 but again not placing/winning points anymore and at risk of losing that 4000 value at rollover. These I would auction.

Here is an example of a horse I may cull but find it difficult. She has over 1000 points, still placing top in her comps and getting points and worth above auction level- but she's 18 and I risk losing that value if she doesn't pay it out by the time she turns 19.

Here is a horse I plan to cull because he is at risk at rollover, worth less than what auction can give, not placing well in comps and not earning many points anymore. I will miss him but I can make make up loss of 700pt pretty easily most of the time in the rescue barn.

Two other examples - a pair I picked up via the Foundation Rescue. I think they had in the ballpark of around 200pts when I bought them. They've both more than paid for their purchase price in earnings from shows, not including their daily payouts.
