Very upset, need help

When I locked my account, before the changes, you could breed your mares the day before they turned 21 and you got a foal.

Now I am coming back and it seems you have to breed them the day before they 20 cause they are pregnant for a week. So now i have mares that are 20 years old and so many days in a locked account. Will I not get the chance to breed these mares?

If so I will be quite upset and basically forced to start over my whole paint program. They were good mares in my program...

You can breed horses at 20 - I've never had a problem with not getting the foal. Foals take five days to be born, and there is a two-day cooldown before the mare can be bred again. I believe all horses die at 22 on purpose so if you breed at 20 the horse can foal while being 21 and you won't lose the foal.

Oh okay. the way I read it was the latest they could be bred was right before they turned twenty.

Nope, the last day the can be bred is the last day there are 20 - then upon turning 21 they retire and then cannot be bred at all.

Oh okay good. Thank you.
I was scared.
