I have 36 foundation mares.

15 are Red papered Foundations( they go to my B papered foundation stallion)

21 are yellow Papered (they go to my C papered Boy)


I have about 12 second gen studs (lol I don’t use all so some are up for stud). I have 9 foundation stallions (although a couple aren’t up for stud as they have closed genes. I have 4 third gen stallions, 1 fourth gen Stud, 2 fifth gen studs, and 1 sixth gen Stud.

Those stallion numbers from second generation and up don’t count my stud foals (babies) born this season.

But counting the foals I have the third gen stallions goes up to 7, the fourth gen goes up to 2, and the sixth gen goes up to 2.

Heh, I may have gone a bit overboard. I’m not counting my lines mares (2nd gen and up) cause I have so many, but it’s totally up to you how many you have.

I am very picky wuth my studs, I geld most of them to keep high show horse numbers. My studs must have the genes that I want to carry on from both parents and must test superior.

All my foundation studs are B papered, all my 2nd Gen studs are A papered. My 3rd gens are A papered and Superior to Sire, my 4th Gens are Star papered. Each stud will eventually see approx 30 to 35 mares each season once my pastures are full. I culled my mares recently so I am filling them back up.

Make sure to fill your barns with show horses, those are your money earners.

I have 6 foundation studs to cover 200 foundation mares. I have 9 2nd Gen studs to cover 290 2nd Gen mares. As I bring up new lines or new studs, I geld or spay older breeding stock or occasionally sell them. In comparison, I have over 4000 show horses that are spayed/gelded.
