Keep breeding him. 8 foals is not a lot to go by. Breed him to mares with a full 30 days pasture bonus. Does he test superior to sire?

Was there a pasture bonus on the Mare?
If you want I might have some brood mares that you can try him on if you'd like

They aren't in the pasture though, but I'd be willing to put these girls up for brooding for you

I have the full pasture bonus on all of my mares.
@ammit, it's true, when i started, i thought i was just going to breed my foundations to him and like you said, bootstrap. Then i got a lot pickier and only bred him to the best mares I had, and didn't have better luck.
What you're seeing is my learning curve ..

Of course, I don't have many horses of good quality, everyone suggested i needed far more show horses than breeding horses, and I've kept to that goal, but
@corvus, I might like to take you up on that offer.
@haysstable, he tested about the same as sire. I figured for getting started, he would be ok.. It seems the higher the PT, the harder it is to get foals SBA'd. But all mares have full pasture bonus. I learned that one right away.
So don't give up. OK!

thank you, @ammit
