Oh. I should've run him through stallion testing first. =(( Lesson learned. Thanks!

I always do all of the free testing first. If I horse doesn't get past the free testing I dont want to be wasting my money on the paid testing when I can use it on a horse that did get through the free testing. Ultimately it will be a better horse.

I have had several Star stallions gelded because they were worse than their Star sire, but I agree with Gael4ce, there is no sense in breeding lower quality horses. I was lucky enough to buy a Star stallion that was intact by the same stallion and I can't wait until next year when he is old enough to breed :)

Thank you, I had some really good luck picking up some very nice colts this year. I am going to keep working on my herd hoping to breed some just as good one of these days. :)

Just a suggestion. When breeding the best way to establish and improve lines is to breed equal generation horses to equal generation horses. For example foundation to foundation, 2nd gen to 2nd gen, etc... The boy you linked to here was from a foundation mare bred to a stallion that is many generations old (When you click the family tab it shows the generations). Establishing and maintaining an even pedigree makes selling foals and/or public breeding more attractive to other players.
