I saw this posted by someone in another place and it brought me back to this thread:
I'd like to see limits place on the number of mares that a stallion can cover by age. A 3yo stallion would be limited to 20 mares, a 4yo to 50, 5yo to 75, and then no limits on 6 and up. That way if a horse really does need to retire early at least they can provide some value as a stallion but there would be far less reason to retire a sound horse early.
