### Reproductive Value of Horses by Age and Gender

#### Overview

The graph displays the reproductive value of horses, differentiated by gender, across various ages. The x-axis represents the reproductive value, ranging from -0.5 to 3.5, while the y-axis denotes the age of the horses, from 0 to 18 years.

#### Details

- **Blue Line (Horse Male):** 
  - The reproductive value begins at zero for younger ages.
  - It rises gradually until around age 6, where it peaks at approximately 1.5.
  - Beyond age 6, the value declines sharply, leveling off at a reproductive value of about 0.5 by age 14.
  - After age 14, the reproductive value remains stable.

- **Red Line (Horse Female):**
  - Starts at a reproductive value near zero in the early ages.
  - The value sharply increases, reaching a peak around age 5 with a value of about 2.5.
  - After peaking, the value decreases steadily, intersecting the male line just before age 10.
  - From age 10 onwards, there is a further rapid decline, reaching a reproductive value close to zero by age 14.

#### Interpretation

This graph illustrates the differences in reproductive values between male and female horses as they age. Female horses tend to have a higher reproductive value in early years, peaking earlier compared to males. The decline in reproductive value with age is more pronounced in females. Understanding these patterns is crucial for managing breeding programs and ensuring optimal outcomes.
