Just because they've levelled off doesn't mean they are placing last. You know that, right?

There isn't one specifically for levelled off, but under the advanced sort is Best Showing. You could sort that way and go to the last page to see who is the worst showing. I would set it for Spayed mares and geldings only, though. I've never sorted using Best showing though, so I don't know how it works.

When looking for levelled off horses I go to the search and sort by PT and age. Typically a horse levels off when it's age reaches its PT score. (9.5pt levels off around half way through the year after they turn 9) but there are exceptions and geldings and spays tend to hold on a little longer.

When I cull I only take levelled off horses. In the search I will input the oldest horses age in the "exact" age box and sort by PT. I then jump to the end and look through the lower PT horses until I reach PT's matching the age bracket or have gone through all my horses. I then work my way down each age bracket one by one to about 9 years old or whenever I was tired of culling lol.

When I was culling regularly I got to the point that I could combine several of the older horses in a search and not feel overwhelmed (or know how far down you can look to just see the levelled off horses) so for my first search I would use the "older than" age box then continue going through each age bracket but with the new showing it isn't as important to cull the bad showers because unless they place last they are gaining points (even if just slowly) and the show fees are quite small compared to how they were. And the more points they earn the more money you get a day so I rarely go through and cull this way anymore. More often than not I allow them to pass over because my horses have collected enough points from me just leaving them alone that they earn themselves a new barn with increasing regularity.

Well the search worked well for me when I used it to look through each age bracket searching by PT and look through all the horses that are older than their PT (start on the last page and work towards the first)
