At what point did you have to start boosting your horses?
  • I am currently working on a few projects with different eras and my goal is to go as far as i can go pt score whise. At what point in generations did you hit a plateau and have to start boosting to acheive better foals?
  • Following this , as I am also curios ; also if you boost one do you have to boost all of its offspring to get them to pass?

  • I started boosting around the time when the horses started to consistently give foals around PT 13-13.5 if I remember correctly (That was when boosting first became available, so I may remember wrong).

    You need to
    a) Either boost both the stallions and the mares and make sure that they are around the same breeding level (know your lines!) or;
    b) start to ignore the breeding advices.
    Eventually, you will need to do both.
  • Personally, I would rather put the time and energy into starting a project for a new era then boosting. But obviously, that is a different way to play the game and aim.

  • i think i agree with you.
    it would be just as easy to start a new line then spend all the tokens to boost.
    but maybe the boosted line is making a lot of tokens to warrant the boosts.
    any feedback from these boosted lines?

  • I agree with Ammit and Leefe as well. My plan when/if my era 11 line reaches cap was just to keep any good breeding stock I have at that time to make show horses until they age out, and not expect or try for any foals to stay intact. Maybe keep some as-good-as colts untested for bootstrapping later. As for a breeding project at that point I think it would be much more fun to start over again with foundation.
  • I currently have an era 8 line that is doing well and placing high on the leader boards and i havent had to do any boosting yet.
    I have era 9, 10 and 13 that im still working on and recently started era 14.
    I am just curious at what gen or pt do you ushually hit that bench mark where foals end up aga or worse and boosting is needed?

    I think i have a long way before worrying with my newer era lines but think my era 8 is getting close to that mark. My highest pt era 8 is 13.6pt.
  • I also agree with Ammit, my new line will not be boosted
  • I personally think the max out ability would serve you better, since that doesn’t change the era. A boost will make your era go down. A era 8 horse with a boost will become era 7.

    I do a lot of boosting on this account, but all of my horses are era 0, I can’t go any lower. I also only boost after I MOA a horse.

    On Mesa I am only using MOA. I cannot use a boost since that would reck my era breeding goals. I’m currently at a 13pt with 8 gen horses. Also GMTing a horse perfectly consistent helps with the pt score, same with MOA. Not all the time, sometimes they are already as good as they are going to get.
