That is a hard question. Really for me it’s more a matter of gelding/spaying. To make that easier I have a set of goals for my horses. I put all of my horses through BA testing, then I paper test them and geld/spay any horse that doesn’t meet that generations paper requirements (each players requirements are different) then I spay geld the ones who don’t meet my long term color goals.

I try to keep all of my geldings/spayed horses, my minimum goal is to have a 3 to 1 ratio, three spelded horses for every breeder. So when I was first starting out I did whatever I had to do to keep as many spelded horses as possible. Because I kept those show ponies they slowly started paying for everything on this game. Now I’ve reached a balance where I don’t have to sell any horse I don’t want to because my show bonus is good enough to pay for extra barns. It takes time to get show herd to this point, but it’s worth it.

Thanks yall. Such tough decisions.
