Well you want most of your breeding mares in pastures since it gives them a breeding boost, but you can’t show horses in pastures. So having barns full of show horses that show every week, is beneficial by gaining points and therefore hbs.

Show horses earn money for your stable, take up a single stall, and only cost the minimal amount of the entry fees. They also get a training bonus, so will have higher show scores than similar intact horses.

A single mare can produce up to 16 foals each of which will need stall space, at a cost of 8-16 thousand hbs or more (depending on which breeding method you use). While you can and should show any of your mares that are not in the pasture, they will likely cost more in breeding fees than they will earn back in show bonus.

Altered horses are literal money printers. They cost next to nothing to house and show and bring in way more than they cost and they pay for the rest of your barns expenses.

A single mare can fill a small barn on her own and if kept in a pasture her overall points will be much lower than a show horse with equal stats that is kept in a barn showing.

And what messed up this mare?

Only newer players can create pointed foundation horses, all others are bred/created by players and gradually build up points by being regularly shown. most people keep horses with points for showing, though there are some that go in auctions occasionally. if you want to purchase some your best bet is making a wanted post on the forum, heaps of people usually help out with that kind og stuff! I'll add you to my chat SilverCreekFarm Sales and chuck a few pointed show ponies to help you get started!

Also, she is a blue roan appaloosa, she just got a bonus of champagne on top! Black with champagne turns them into Classic Champagne color :)

Mine is a two stallion/sixty mare pasture.
And thanks to everyone for answering my questions. : )
@SilverCreekFarms thanks for the practically free ponies!

I think I'm going to wait a few months so that I can save up for a 1k stall barn and then slowly fill that with show ponies. Well, I'm assuming it'll take a few months.. everything really just depends on if I can somehow get 4,163,000hbs to spend while still inching towards working towards my unltimate breeding goal. I'm sure everyone else is/has been in the same place with your game.

Sent you a little to reach your goal

I like to keep all my broods in one barn so it makes it easier to organize them when moving them into pastures for the season, for example I could go down the list and select them by color, paper level, what ever then at the bottom of the page click the move to pasture button for that lot; so long as I don't click more than the pasture can hold. Also lets me have a barn to easily move them into from the pasture after they've been bred.

@WhiteVally I am signed up for the newsletter, though generally I just sell them. I kept last month's mare because she's completely perfect.
