most horses sell at 2500 and they will always auction for a minimum of that. Pointed creates can sell for up to half their lifetime payout, they will auction for a minimum of their Life Pay when they are 10 years old. RS can sell at anything from 2500 to 500K depending on how rare they are (most 'special event only' ones sell for 20K and higher) and if they get lucky genes (DP, H, snow) that aren't included in the HH. Horses that have been GMT'd sell for much more.

You don't really have to worry about papering until you have a basic upgrade. Higher papers produce higher pt foals. Mare (showable only, yellow, red, blue gold (best)) Stallions (failed, c, b, a, star (best))

Expro/perf creates are b/red so I would recommend never breeding anything below that unless you have a specific reason to do so.

Just remember to geld them

Horses that are gelded or spayed train a little bit better than when they are intect. They ill end up at a slightly higher show level, which could mean more points. That being said, still show everything you can. My stallions still show so they can earn points even though their main goal is to produce foals for me.

I think most people have success when you keep a ratio of 1 breeding horse to 3 show horses.

How would one go about breeding a star or gold level?

Neutered horses train for a game year longer than intact horses with the same PT score do.

Paper everything. If you're starting from foundations, neuter any colts or fillies that paper the same as their sire or dam. Comparison Test colts to their sire even if they paper higher, because they might still be about as good as the sire. Comparison Test colts that paper the same as each other. If two of them paper about as good as each other, you might want to try breeding both of them to see what happens. If one of them test superior to its brothers with the same paper level keep him intact and neuter the others. Then test any remaining foals with that paper level against the superior one.

I have personally had a C papered stallion produce B papered foals and found that some B colts tested superior to the ones I had already tested and then a bit farther down the list I've found a B colt that tests superior to those mid-range B colts.

The same procedure should be done with fillies, now that we can comparison test them. (When I first started playing, only male game horses could be comparison tested).

Once you've determined the best of your second generation colts and fillies, breed them and comparison test all offspring. Usually, you can go from C/Yellow to B/Red in one generation. You can sometimes get A/Blue in third generation, but if the second gen horses are not right at the top of those paper levels, it can take 2 generations. It may take more than one generation to advance from A/Blue to *Star/*Gold. (I don't have much experience with that shift because my horses tend to be foundations and 2nd generation). However, once you get to *Star/*Gold, you will find that succeeding generations will improve. T

You can get A/blue in 2gen but it's rare, I have a stallion and 3-4 fillies in three seasons of breeding. also never paper foundies top pro and perf are high end yellow experf/pro are red.
