Inactive Stables

I noticed that there is a number of stables that have been inactive for 2 years or more. The following six are most notable due to how big they were/are. Darkwood, Desert Wind, Gants, Ivy Creek, Kismet, and Tall Oaks Estate.
There is a large number of unraced 2 year olds plus yearlings and weanlings. Plus hundred of other racehorses that could be running for other stables.
Also hundreds of unbred broodmares plus 10 Stallions. Some of these studs have restrictions placed on their use and owners are uncontactable to have conditions changed.
Is there any possibility on getting access by way of sales or auctions on horses sitting in inactive stables?

I’d definitely like to see studs from inactive stables move to FF management and be available for everyone to access.

I’d love to see an inactive stables auction. I’d be even more excited for that than an FF auction. So many horses just sitting pretty while someone in the past actively raced them or bred them just seems like such a waste. At least FF horses get thrown in a race every once in a while.

On that note, y’all can buy any horse you want from me. I basically stopped playing with all the random site downtime and the fact my stable got too big. So pick any you want, pay what you want. Just PM me cause I’ll forget to check this thread again.

On that note it seems @Shanthi has fixed the down time.

Since then it’s been just about perfect, I can think of only 1 time I couldn’t log on but it was back within the hour.

It’s worth coming back to if you want to try.

I’d love to see some of those studs either auctioned or put under the FF banner.

A number of times last year I booked studs that needed approval, not realizing the stables were inactive.

I’d sent ponies to stables only to have them wandering at the front gate, unable to get in :face_with_raised_eyebrow: :joy:

I think the server is scheduled to reboot as a way of preventing the downtime. In other words, if it is down (knock on wood) then it should come back up on its own within less than a day (not sure what the exact schedule is).

I think Shanthi said something about 6hrs which means it’s pretty much back up by the time you’d come back to check.
