Hahaha - the first symptom of HuntAndJump Addiction Disorder (HAJAD) is buying too many mares. Soon, you will keep all of your foals because they are so pretty. And you will buy more mares. And stallions - they will be flowing out the doors.

And then you will have over 4000 horses.

Welcome to the dark side. Now...go buy more mares!

Bwahahaha! I second that! You will soon be completely immersed in this game, seeing genes every where you look. I can't even get a tampon out without smiling because it says S+ on it and I think of all the pretty, sooty plus pixel ponies.

Actually, I think that's the way we all started. :-))

Since
a) it takes at least 3 foals to get a mare papered, and,
b) if you upgrade so that you can do embryo transfers, intact mares you don't want to breed become valuable as surrogates, and
c) intact horses with decent PT scores can earn a lot of money showing, and
d) the total show points of a herd contribute substantially to one's income, and
e) showing is the only reliable way to make money in this game,
many mares are worth keeping anyway.

The only thing I can add is that, most of the time, breeding pixel ponies is cheaper than breeding real ones. And we don't have to bale hay or shovel out the stalls.
