How many gens in are you? I've had a few like that myself with my second generation foals, but after they are breeding age, I've gotten a lot better pt scores. It also helps to start with B/Red papers.

Paper scores (yellow red B C etc) tell you breeding ability and PT scores give you a clue about showing ability and roughly how long a horse will train for.

Particularly in foundations showing and breeding abilities are not directly connected. You can have a really low PT horse that throws awesome babies and vice versa.

There’s a higher chance of foals being snipped if the parents breeding ability is farther apart because the foal has to be that much better than the worst parent to be close to or better than the higher parent.

Try matching Yellow mares with C studs, red mares with B studs, blue mares with A studs and gold with star studs. Also put the mares in the pasture for as long as your able (30days is ideal) to better your chances at getting intact foals

Should i still clear out anything with a low pt if its not snipped?

@LenasHollywood thanks. That helps some.
