I think what you are seing is the result of the shortened breeding season. Before, they would have twice as much time to gain points. My highest pointed 11y.o have 770 points, and with the old system, I would expect the double.

This is also why the foundations created with 500+ points are so valueable, it would take them 7-12 months to earn the same amount of points :)

I make sure to have a huge range of the PT-scale, because the lower PT-horses will begin to collect points (and money) a lot faster than the high PT-horses. Until the age of 11-12, most of my best earners have PT-scores below 12.5. After the age of 13 the 13+ PT horses shine. But then you have payed for their keep for a whole real life year, and you need money during that time as well.

Actually, 5 foundations created with points, bought from the auction, with PT scores from 7.2 to 10.4 beats my high PT-horses in the 11 year old group, which just proves for me that the best thing is to keep a huge range of PT-scores.
8 out of my 25 current best showing 11 year olds are foundations.

I appreciate you guys thanks:)

I do the same as Confluence on the other server too except I search all genders and after the auction I alter them all before sorting them into barns.

I also take risks on older horses that don’t necessarily have a lot of points or show history but are owned by players with at least a basic account that you know the horse has been trained but may not have been shown.

During Ammits Shoot for the Stars contest I got a few 17 year olds with under 30 points that added over 100 points in the week I gave them before I planned to send them back to the auction to Hopefully breakeven before I lost them at rollover. (If you buy an auction horse it just needs to make you 100 hbs in daily bonus to make you break even when you reauction it) I ended up keeping 2 and the one lasted a few years and a few hundred points
