So take this break down of her breeding as an honest assessment, not as a critical one, if you will. Her grand sire is B papered, and was bred to comparable mares with red papers. Unfortunately, this mare's sire papered the same as his sire, which it is not overly complicated to gain a paper level with a pairing of foundations that have equal, and exceptional breeding quality, and her poor dam actually papered lower than both her own sire and dam, and appears to have now been spayed.

The take away:

Your girl is a combination of two lack luster breeding quality horses, with some pretty cool genes. It's not uncommon for these sorts of horses to be around, lots of people don't focus much on breeding quality, or strive for improvement at each generation. And that's okay! Everyone plays this game their own way. But to achieve intact foals, your highest odds of doing so is to pair two equal, or as close to equal, breeding quality horses together... And then hope for the best! Your most equal pairing is going to come from breeding this girl to B papered stallions, no matter their generations. The game doesn't know any different when it comes to generations, what it sees for testing is breeding and show quality.

That being said, altered foals are going to be the result more often than not, a majority of the time, even between a perfectly matched breeding pair. So don't get discouraged by altered horses, they'll make you money from showing in the long run.

In summary, find yourself B papered stallions to pair with this girl. If you prefer to keep your foals with even generations, look for studs with a similar breeding, maybe even some with C and Yellow (Perfect foundation breeding quality) papered grandparents. Or if you have no care to keep her foals of even generations, any B papered stallion will be of about the same breeding quality as she is. So like the Candy Appleloosa you've already tried her with. Either way, have fun! She'll always give you Nexus stars, and pretty foals, even if the odds aren't in their favor for them to pass breeding advice.

Wow! Thank you everyone for the in depth analysis of her breeding abilities! They are very helpful!
