Welcome, Lleon. This is an amazingly complex game, so don't be discouraged if you feel a little lost. I began playing in 2010, after watching over my daughter's shoulder for 8 months as she played the game before I got brave enough to start my own account. :)

It does take time to build up a profitable stable. This is a game geared toward long term strategy play rather than instant gratification. Most of your income will come from showing, so building up a strong string of neuters is key. One recommendation is to have 3 neutered horses for every intact breeding horse. Showing all your intact horses that aren't in pasture is also very important.

There's nothing wrong with sending horses that you don't like to the auction and concentrating on a few colors or patterns that you especially like.

Since specific questions are much easier to answer, you may get more help by asking some, so we can focus in on your puzzles better. There will always be someone to come give you some answers.

What SandyCreek said
Your show herd is your money makers. This is the most important area.
Figure out what you like, breed for what you like, not for selling.
Pasture is important for breeding as mares that are in there for 30 days get a breeding bonus. Try and stay away from AI until you build up your income, it's fun, but expensive.
As you build, you'll be able to go into the Voucher area ... this is where you can exchange Hbs for IVs, which lead to all sorts of things.

Never hesitate to ask your questions ... Great community always willing to give you a hand.
P.S. for questions on specific horses it's always good to put their link up so we can see what your seeing. Bottom of the horse's page has the links, you can copy and paste it ... and always have fun :)

If I auctioned this girl right now, I would get 15142 for her in the auction because that is her current lifetime payout :)

he's pretty consistently throwing great foals but breed him to a yellow not a red.

I would keep them till you build up the herd of horses you like. Unfortunately you could auction off these pointed foundations and if they are under 10 years of age you wont receive the money they have acquired . I would maybe spay/geld the ones you dont like and keep them as they build you more horsebucks and if you decide when they are 10 to not keep them then you will get the lifetime money they accumulate. When i first started i didnt relise that the pointed horses i had would be crucial in the begining. I ended up selling alot of them way to cheap and started out having difficulty making horsebucks. I didnt have much advice support in the beginning. I wish someone would have told me in the begining.

Yeah, I let a bunch of 20 year olds age out because I didn't know the secret.

@Lleon
Until your horses have a total of 20,000 points earned by showing, each horse you create will come with a certain number of show points even before you have a chance to show them. Once your total points reach 20,000, horses you create and breed will have to earn points the hard way. A few may come with as many as 1000 points, but mostly they come with several hundreds.

Since your nightly showing bonus is based on the total number of points your stable holds, this creation point boost is very helpful to new accounts.

However, some newer players offer to sell these pointed horses for a quick game cash boost. I'm not certain about pricing for this, though.

CrowsnestRidge typed faster than I did. :D

When I sold some pointed horses, I priced them at 2/3 of their lifetime payout.
