If you don't have cash to start with, this method will probably give you the opportunity to buy a basic upgrade with IVs within a week or two. If we get a super nice Rank Special during the next days, you can also sell it to fund your Basic upgrade, just watch the prices they are selling for on the forum carefully :)

If you need to build your economy, and can still create foundations with points, here is what I would do:

1)
First, try to get hold of all the following Herd helpers you can get:
- Exceptionally Perfect
- Exceptionally Producing (of all kinds)
- Exceptional Show Horse
- Perfect Foundations
- Great Show Horse
- Rank Specials

Because they will be more attractive to buyers. Then, when you have created as many as you can with these HHs every day, you can start creating from regular Herd Helpers.

2)
If you get a rare 600+pointed horse, keep him if you want, but sell everyone else, unless it is a rare HH that you just can't part with.

Put the horses up for sale for 50-60% of their lifetime value, announce it on the forum, and they will sell quick. If you name them according to their HH, it is more easy for buyers to see which ones they want to buy. F.ex I would call a horse created from the Exceptionally Perfect HH something like "9890973 Ex Perfect" or "9890973 Great ShowH" if it is the "Great Show Horse" HH you used etc.

You do not need to waste money on testing them, other than the free breeding test, because experienced players will already know about how good they are, if they are created from one of the above Herd Helpers.


3)
Enter any horse that did not sell after a couple of days into the auction, and use the money you earn to create new horses, and repeat step 1-3. Keep only the few that you do not want to part with, or will be crucial to your breeding program, and the ones with the highest points. (more than 500+ at least), because as a new member, you want to keep the horses that earn you the most pr stable they hold.

Once you have reached your limit of 20 000 points held, and all the horses in your stable are horses you want to keep, it is time to use the money you have saved in your bank account (it can be a nice amount by now) and buy the biggest barn you can afford.

4)
Now it is time to buy other player's pointed foundations, and fill the new barn with pointed foundation show horses only. When you have done this, you will have a nice, steady income to support your pixel pony addiction


5)
Since this is a special month, you can also get a nice income by selling off the new, rare Rank Specials that does not fit your breeding program for their real market value. Forum auction is probably the best way to make sure that you get payed what they are worth, or just put them straight up for sale for the prices you see they sell for on the forum. Do some research

The money you earn from this should be used to buy a Basic upgrade, or for saving for the special show barn.

- If you reach the 20 000 points held-limit, and can no longer create foundations with points, just sell the horses, and you can start creating horses with points again, until all the horses you have in your barn are super high 5-600+ pointed horses, and their total amount of points exceeds 20 000.

Good luck, and have fun!
