I think you just sell them back to the game? If you would like to remove a straw/egg from your list and permanently delete it, sell to use ID #7 for any amount. The straw/egg will be deleted from your account

Is there a way to rename straws? I named mine by the stud's name, now I see it would have been better if I had named it according to his stats.

I guess I didn't explain well, I meant the horse's ability to show well. That would raise points faster, if that passed down maybe?

The better breeding level, the better the show foals she can produce. A red papered mare will produce good foals but a Gold papered mare will produce better foals. And by better I mean a better PT score, and showing abiltiy that will help the foal reach higher levels.

I do have to argue that a better PT score does not necessarily mean more Points. A better PT score helps a horse train up the levels faster, and reach a higher show level before hitting their plateau.

Some horse that train fast don't always earn much points as they train up. A key point is to hit a good spot where they plateau. They can sit for years at a good level and earn tons of points. I have pointed out before my 2nd gen 10.4 to 10.8 PTs hit the 7W level and earn great, whereas some of their siblings or next gens that are at that 11 PT level end up in 8L and don't earn much points.

Horses have a hidden breeding quality that we can't see.

An example of this is Perfect Foundations herd helper - this produces a horse with 100% breeding ability. These horses paper C/ Yellow. The Exceptionally perfect herd helper produces a horse with 105% breeding ability. These horses paper B/Red. Paper levels give you an idea of breeding ability.

Now, as I breed lined horses, I only keep Superior tested offpsring to for breeding. So my 2nd generations are all A papered studs or Blue Papered or Red Papered Superior mares. I assume their breeding ability is like 106 to 110% (we can't see this number but paper levels and comparison test tell me that I am improving this ability).

And so each generation I improve breeding abilty. And that also means each generation produces better show foals. By fourth generation I start getting Star/Golds. These are giving me PT scores in high 11s and low 12s, the foals train to higher levels and can earn more points.

This is why I don't need to bootstrap or breed unevenly. I currently have foundations up through 7th generation horses breeding - I breed a wide variety of PT scores every year so my show herd is varied and produces poiints well and in a variety of levels. Bootstrapping gets you higher PT foals immediately to show in those high levels.
