Stud Bookings - Mare Sold

So, what would you expect to happen when Mare A is booked to Stud B and is then sold? There are a few options:

  • Keep the booking for Mare A, but update the stable to be the new owner
  • Keep the booking for Mare A’s stable, but set it to be an “open” booking, e.g. let the original owner pick a new mare for that slot
  • Delete the booking entirely because maybe you only wanted that exact combination of mare + stable to have the slot

Happy to have input from both sides of the equation (e.g. stud owners + mare owners)

Oh I’ve never thought about this before!

I think it might be most logical to delete the booking. The mare owner that has booked it is no longer using the breeding and the new owner will not be aware of the booking until they’ve bought the horse (or booking must be displayed on the horse page for all at some point, but I don’t think it’s necessary). The new owner will likely want to select a stallion themselves. Moreover, there’s a bigger chance of missing the booking because the new owner is unaware of it, meaning the stallion has an unused slot.

If the old owner of the mare wants to use the booking for another mare they can easily request/book the slot again after the sale I think.

I agree, that the booking should be deleted if the mare is sold.
