I tend to keep everything, because every horse will give me money when I show them.

If I can only choose 1 to breed, then I would breed the one who gets me most exited and curious. If you are thrilled by the thought of getting the highest PT score possible, then keep the one who paper highest, or passes BA with the best parents.
If color is what makes the game fun for you, then breed the one with the best genetics.

The same goes off course for which ones to keep.
If you want a sustainable barn, keep all the horses you breed, and make sure that most of them are show horses. They are the ones who pays for all the fun :)

The only horses I sell, are foundation Rank Specials that does not fit my program. Due to the new auction/barn buying system, that prevents super big barns like me, to buy new barns, I must auction show horses, and I am still working out the criterias for which ones to sell.

Thanks Herzeloyde. I'm a sucker for genetics but the thrill of trying to reach the upper PT score has its hold on me too, lol. I think I'm gonna take your words of wisdom and just keep them. Then I have my pretty ponies and maybe a back up breeder if I need.
That must an undertaking in itself, and you have some beautiful horses (my goal some day, to create some of the beauties you have) ..... but it will raise the bar for all of us and the game.

Persian ive been making the sad face quite a bit lately. Since I haven't been on here more than 6mos, I figured it was time to ask more questions of experienced persons. I do like your method. Lucky for me I gave myself a little wiggle room on PT and missing 1 gene so I can improve my ponies. I'll tighten up with time. Over-achiever me always does, lol.

It's kind of like DP in the sense it needs multiple genes to truly show.. KP need 2 kit genes (W20, Roan, Sabino, Tobiano, etc) plus 2 KP genes to show, whereas DP needs at minimum 3 darkening genes (2 sooty + 1 DP, 2 DP + 1 sooty) to darken the coat past a normal Homozygous sooty horse

I personally don't take much notice of PT, if it's a colt I need them to be superior to sire, or meet my expectations for that generation, and have most of the colours I want LOL. You can't for sure say that the 11.2PT foal will be a better breeder than the 10PT foal. If both were fillies and both passed SBA and papered where I needed them to, then I'd just keep both and see how they bred!

I've always said 'Why not both?', so that's what I've been breeding for!
