These less-than-0.5-months seem to be the result of being on a farm for part of a "day" while training / breeding / mowing / local shows are running. Then if you sell the horse before the "day" is complete, it gets something less than 0.5 but more that 0.1. Or so I think from what I've seen. If anyone else knows more, I hope they will respond also.Psycho0912 wrote:Hi,

There are some tack items for sale: not any real rugs yet, just saddle pads. Look at "Market" then "Tack Store". There will be an assortment of items. Not all colors or styles at once, but something like 5 to 10 of a given article.MiniPonyGirl wrote:Can you buy like rugs on here or somehting??

I am of the belief that when we had a problem with horses aging into whatever months and 5 weeks (such as 19 years, 7 months and 5 weeks), as was the way it was displayed a year or two ago, it was switched to the pointed number (19 years 8.1 months). For some reason the game counts it by hundredths or thousandths of decimal points so by the time they get much older (16 years and upward), they gain age.
Your mare of "19 years, 10.7 months" is 19 years, 10 months and (approximately) 2 weeks old. Since each turn ages our horses by 2 weeks, she will 'always' be either on a month or on a month and 2 weeks, even as her .7 month will actually continue to climb. If she makes it to 25 years, you may see that .7 turn into a .8.
At the very least, this is the way I've noticed my own horses age.
Of course, Xant'hippe may offer some additional insight into it as well. It could be that everything we do during the day will also age our horses as well, that never occurred to me that it could also add to it.

The game day is sorta weird anyway. There is a "Time" counter which divides the day by "minutes" or "hours" during a total span of 16 or 18 hours. When the day has no time left, we have to advance to the next one. Whenever we click on the Moon + Zzz icon, horses age 0.5 months (and some old ones die).
That we see increments other than .0 or .5 in our horses' ages makes me think that the computer has to be registering "minutes" and "hours" and applying them.
Quickly checking the ages of some of my (/Xan's) horses: some foals and weanlings are purely and simply "5.5" or "6" or "7" months. They have never been sold off the farm. I think if I did all their transfers when "The Fields of Praise" and "Fields of Gold" were both set at the beginning of the day, 5:00 a.m., this would continue.
However, several other horses show ages like "10 years 3.2 months". I believe this means they were bought, sold, or transferred at some point during a game day in progress, rather than at 5:00 a.m.

Thank you all 
Re: 19 years, 10.7 months?
Not sure if this is a real thing or just something that I've decided in my head, but I feel like I've noticed this occurring in horses that I've bought/sold/transferred, but also in ones that I've bred. As in, after I've bred my mare to a stud, they have a 0.1 added.
