It is easier to keep mare and stud quality even. The result is that it is much easier to progress your line. (ie third gens with 12pt)

It's easier to keep mare and stallion quality equal as Redbud said, and people just like the way it looks on the pedigree. Neater looking.

You're more likely to get spayed and gelded horses out of uneven lines, the more uneven, the more likely they are to be a show horse. Having said that, you can get some awesome show horses that way.

The people going around blocking others just because they are breeding uneven (thankfully very rare) or buying and yumming horses just because they are uneven are being jerks. I honestly even think the stud rules saying breed only to x generation mares are being a little silly. Don't put a stud for public if you care. It doesn't effect the stud any but to each their own.

There is very good reasons why even horses are more valuable. They are easier to work with with breeding, they look better etc. But just because they are nicer horses does not mean people should be rude about it.
