So I have a couple of horses that were bred in pasture, and as luck would have it, the stallions bred back to their mothers. The result was my first Gold mare. So I like that I got Gold, but creeped out by how it happened. I know the game says that in-breeding doesn't matter, but as a player of the game, do you devalue a horse if her dam is also her grand-dam?

I don't buy horses that are bred unevenly, meaning they dont have even generations in their pedigrees, foundatuon/foundation, 2gen/2gen, and so on. Having said that, there are a lot of people who do and I've never seen where they have commented about who is in the pedigree on either side.

Personally, regarding inbred in low generations, yes, but only because that means they are not evenly bred. I line-breed all the time, because I usually have a very small amount of foundations.

I have a old line, long time star/golds that date back to some of my first horses here, and those get bred back to my best stallions over and over to hopefully get better mares. Those get inbred and linebred quite a bit. :D

In a bootstrapping line for show horses, I wouldn’t care. The other reason I’d care for any other line is because they’re not evenly bred.

My even bred horses are very linebred. I frequently bred full and half siblings together. So the inbreeding itself doesn’t bother me at all.

For example:

5th gen Star

4th gen Star, best I’ve produced yet
https://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=10232821

When your fillies grow up, you could breed them to the highest PT Star stallions on the public list and use them to make awesome show horses :)

I don't care at all if bootstrap or long-lined pedigree horses, they are just mixed pedigree anyways so doesn't matter who is in it. Lower generations I try and mix up the pedigree and wouldn't normally breed those with the same sire and/or dam but most of mine will be line bred if you go back far enough
