And this one... Today is not my day...

You are absolutely right, but PT is related to showing. I try to keep horses who have the potential to show well. Its just a something I started when I first started learning the game.

If you are wanting to sell her, I am more than happy to buy her. But only if you are really needing to get rid of her.

Just as an FYI - this stallion makes me hbs each week even though his PT is only 4.5 http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2882471

as does this guy with a 6.7 http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2884789

You are correct! Yes, a lower PT horse will earn points, just not as many, as they do level off quicker. The higher PT horses do earn more points, as does this 9 year old mare with a PT of 9.7 http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2941288

But, if a mare is what you need, I would not toss her just because of a lower PT. I have a large barn, so I do not even PT test my foundation mares anymore, I just show everyone.

0.6 is very low and prob would not be worth keeping. You would be lucky if they bring in a half point at a time.

It just depends where the horse levels off. But one 10.9 can level off in a slightly worse spot than another, it's just a matter of having patience and finding out where they will end. Every horse start with a different 'base score' as well, so there is no saying in my opinion that every 10.9 will make you a lot of money, since they all start with a different base score and not end up the same. For example these three horses, they are all 11.9 PTs, but one is a lower level than the other two and they differ in scores as well. http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2477987 8L, 278, 13 yrs

http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=2731450 8R, 284/285, 11 yrs

So for me PT determines roughly in how high of a level they will show, but don't necessarily determines how they will place in that show. And ofcourse, the higher showing lever the more points can be earned and thus more hbs. So in that case a higher PT will end up in higher showing levels, but it still can make less points (and thus less money) than a horse with a lower PT that ends up in for example the 6W level and makes points there. World level shows give out more points than local level shows, for example the first place in 8L only gives out 5.5 points, whilst the 13th place from the 16 entries in the 6W levels gets 6 points (and the first place in 6W will get 30 points!).
But I can totally understand with a smaller barn that you want to keep horses that can make more money than others, I'm so used to my many barns that I totally forgot that could be a good reason too.


Anyway, I've put the mare I mentioned up for create price + PT testing! And I hope she places well for you and will be a big money maker! :)
