As far as I know the only reason to worry about eras is if you are breeding to place on the leader board of that specific era. I have horses from all 5 eras and try to breed my mares to stallions of the same or newer era, but to me it's not a big deal. I care more about quality and of course my pet project colors.

Another thing to consider, if you decide to chase leaderboard standings: Era 5 has been in place longer than eras 1-4, individually, so there are more foundation horses competing for standings for that era. In addition, foals are placed in the Era of the parent with the oldest (smaller) era number, so breeding era 5 horses to those of earlier eras may increase the offspring's competitive chances for the Era leaderboards.
