Clarify horse table[edit]

What does "age" in the horse table stand for? The horse's age now? When Larocca rode him? WHen Larocca retired him? --Pitke (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it would be the horse's age now, or in the case of the deceased Okidoki, how old the horse was when he died. I'll clarify it. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 15:01, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You know, it's probably the age at the time the source listed the horses, I'd suggest replacing that with foaling date, or just chop that column altogether. (Foaling year is easy to crunch because horses are decreed to automatically be a year older every January 1 for competition purposes). Montanabw^(talk) 19:00, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll get on that. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 22:31, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the age was pretty much correct from the foaling date, with the exception of Okidoki. The source apparently forgot that he's dead and kept his age going. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 22:40, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May still want to replace with foaling date, or else you'll be manually updating this article every year forever... ;-) Montanabw^(talk) 16:54, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, I'll still replace it, if just for the edit count boost. ;-) öBrambleberry of RiverClan 20:54, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
