Showing Ability
These qualities affect a horse's showing ability only. Showing ability and breeding ability are not related. Horses with a higher showing ability will not necessarily produce foals that are good at showing, so altering according to free tests is recommended.

Super Consistent horses will have 100% consistency when showing. They will have the same score both times they are shown each week. This does not mean that their show scores will be higher than normal; they will just be consistent and can be expected to increase their scores by the same increment every week.

Great Show Horses will have a showing ability of 100%. This means their PT score will be 9.9 - they will increase their score each week by about 3 points, the highest amount possible for a foundation regular create. They are not guaranteed to be consistent, so their score may vary within a given week.

Exceptional Show Horses will have a showing ability above 100%. This means their PT score will be between 10 and 10.4 - they will increase their score each week slightly faster than a normal create would. They are not guaranteed to be consistent, so their score may vary within a given week.


Breeding Ability
These qualities affect a horse's breeding ability only. Showing ability and breeding ability are not related. Horses with a higher breeding ability will not necessarily be any good at showing, but that's okay. They will produce high quality foals, who are very likely to be excellent horses for both breeding and showing.

Top Notch Producers will have 100% breeding ability. Their foals will be the best a "normal create" horse can produce. Stallions will paper C, and mares will be of equal quality.

Exceptional Producers will have 105% breeding ability, or be about on par with a second generation foal from perfect parents. Stallions will paper B, and mares will be of equal quality.


Breeding and Showing Ability
These qualities affect a horse's breeding and showing abilities. Even though showing and breeding abilities are not related, this ensures that horses will be the best they can possibly be at both.

Perfect Foundations will have 100% breeding and showing ability. Stallions will paper C, and mares will be of equal quality. This is the equivalent of Great Show Horse + Top Notch Producer in terms of breeding and showing. Any horse purchased from the Foundation Rescue, user 13, will be the equivalent of a perfect foundation even if they do not carry that tattoo.

Exceptionally Perfect will have 105% breeding and showing ability, or be about on par with a second generation foal from perfect parents. They will have a PT of 10.4, stallions will paper B, and mares will be of equal quality. This is the equivalent of Exceptional Show Horse + Exceptional Producer in terms of breeding and showing.
